Large Moose Seen
In Waterville

A large and apparently good ma
tured bull moose wandered afar from
his haunts in the wilderness yes
terday morning and paid leisurely
visit to the northern part of the
city where he was seen by many
much interested people. The animal
was first seen by several people on
Broadway where he was in the
pasture of Fred Elliott. A number
of cows that were being pastured
there were somewhat perturbed by
the presence of the stranger and
about o'clock the police were no.
tilted.
By the time that Police Chief
Franklin d. GaSkell arrived on
Broadway the moose had taken shell
ter in a small growth of woods be-
hind the property of Frank l.. Mer-
rick. The chief drove his cars over
the roads in the vicinity where the
moose had been seen and when he
came to the bridge which crosses
the Holland brook the bull came out
into the road about so feet ahead of
the automobile. Mr.. Gaskell came
to quick stop and had a good op-
portunity to look at the animal which
did not appear to be in the least
excited. The chief described the
animal as very handsome specimen
and he was of the opinion that it
stood seven feet high. The eleven
point antlers of the animal were in
perfect condition and he thought
that they must have had a spread of
at least 40 inches.
Men who We're at work in the
gravel pit on Drummond avenue al
so had ample time in which to watch
the moose. The last that was seen

Worlds Oldest Poem,

Homer, the Greek poet, is credited
with being composer Of the Oldest
and most famous poem In existence,
THE Had" Homer lived about 1000
B. O. and in his immortal epic de-
scribes, In "a books, certain important
events that occurred in the tenth and
last year of the siege Of Troy. Aga
memnon, the commander-in-chief Of
the allied Greeks, having quarreled
with Achilles, the latter retires in an
ger from the contest and sulks in his
tent. AS a result of this detection the
Trojans are victorious and Achilles,
accordingly sends his friend, Patroc
lus, to turn the tide of battle Patroc-
lus, however, Is slain by Hector,
whereupon Achilles, rushing forth in
rage to avenge the death of his friend.
kills Hector and drags his body
fastened to his chariot-towards the
Grecian ships. The poem of the HAD
closes with the restoration of the
body of Hector to Priam, and the fu-
neral ceremonies in honor of the Tro-
ian hero.

Horses Repay Kindness

It is said the Arabs were the first to
appreciate a horses intelligence and
to treat him accordingly. They kept
the history Of their horses written on
tablets Of ivory and traced their parent.
age back to the time Of the pharaohs.
They were extremely thoughtful of the
comfort of the horse and it was even
said they took better care of their
horses than they did Of their families.
Constant companionship made the Ara
bian horse quick to understand the
meaning of words, and kindness made
them fearless. brave and obedient. The
intelligence of the horse varies just as
1t does in other animals, or even peo-
pie, and is developed or retarded ac-
cording to mans treatment of him.

E9sesr Island Statue
Pride of Archaeological

The worlds most ancient statue Is
to be found outside. not inside. the
British museum.
It is said that II took 200 men from
the crew of his majesty's ship Topaz,
and 300 natives to drag the statue
from its original site, although II
weighs only four tons. 1t is the work
Of q race Of huge builders and was
one Of many similar colossal statues,
some of them weighing az much as a
hundred tons, scattered over Easter
island in the Pacific. London Tit-Bita
says.
These hideous images were original
~ supplied with hats, In some cases
weighing another five or six tons,
which were red because they were
made Of tufa or volcanic rock. All
the hats have fallen off now and are
found lying around the huge statues
an though there had been a high wind
This race Of ancient builders left
traces In the shape Of immense stone
monuments right across the Pacific
and many Psychologists think that the
islands on which these monuments are
found are the last remnants left above
the surface of vast submerged con
tinent. There is nothing which fixes
the exact period of this achievement
but 1t Is possible that the statues arr
ut least as old as the pyramids d
Egypt.

Almonds Queer Habits

The almond tree has peculiar whims.
Ii seems to prefer California as its
habitat, as 50 per cent of the almonds
grown in America are produced in tina;
state, and in rather restricted terri
tory at that. The bulk of the crop is
grown around Banning, says Nature
Magazine. 1t seems to require the
spots where extremes of cold and heat
are present in their respective seasons,
and photographs have been taken of an
orchard with snow on the ground on
the first of February, and again with
the trees in full bloom by the Goth OF
the month. The same variety will not
fertilize one another. Growers must
plant alternating rows of hardshells
and papershells In order to insure q
harvest.

CroUfh of JeIIyfsh

The manner In which jellyfish pro-
duces its children Is really wonder
full.
In most cases the beginning Is an
egg, which, lying on the bottom, pro-
duces beautiful tree-like growth. The
tree" fastens itself to the bottom and
brings forth buds which, when ripe,
drop off and develop into jellyf1sh. The
latter, In turn, lay eggs and the process
Is repeated, as told In London Tit-Bits.
Most Of the very large species have
a different way of reproducing them
selves. The egg is set free in the water
and develops into pear-shaped larvae
which for while swims about rapidly,
being provided with hair-like append.
ages that serve the purpose of enrss
Then the larvae settles down, anchors
itself to the bottom, increases in size
rapidly and finally splits up into thin,
fat discs which swim of and grow up
into large jellyfishes.

Sound Reflection Helps
Blind TO COMPREHEND

Whenever a sound impinges on q
fiat vertical surface Of any appre-
ciable area it Is reflected much the
same as light-not echoed. An echo
is also q reflection, but Of q pro-
nosinced type; but the sort OF refiec-
ton to which I refer takes place At
distances shorter than necessary for
an echo, and results In merely the
addition to the original sound OF .
Characteristic quality that could prob
ably be classified as an overtone.
Poles, trees, walls, buildings, cars,
any fairly fat, fairly vertical, good
sized surface, viii produce this erect
The seeing rarely, II ever. are aware
Of it, of course. They do not need to
be. But the blind not only are aware
OF It but make thoroughly practical
use of it for such everyday purposes
as locating objects or finding, for ex-
ample, the gaps In a long line Of
parked cars. When blind man taps
his walking stick on the pavement or
shuffies his feet he is more often caus-
ing sounds which can be reflected than
trying to determine his location by
touch.
This utilization of one of hearings
possibilities generally wasted is also
one responsible for the sixth sense
myth, and only one Of the several
ways in which this sense when de-
veloped serves the blind.-Charles

Common Phrase Once
Had Distinct Meunin9

In olden times in many parts OF
England, particularly during the feu-
dial period, the poor living on lords
manor or estate were allowed to go
into the manor woods or forest with q
hook and crook to get wood for fuel.
What they could reach they might
pull down with their crook. This was
precarious way of procuring fuel,
but the privilege was eagerly sought
Boundary stones, beyond which the
hook and crook folk" might not pass
were to be seen of late years in some
old forests. However, this custom
does not satisfy the present use Of
the phrase, hook and crook" which
does not simply mean in a precarious
manner, but at all hazards, Ill or well.
The custom referred to Is described
In the Bodmin Register of 1925, in
which Is this statement: "Dynmure
Wood was ever open and common to
the inhabitants of Bodmin to bear
/ away upon their backs a burden Of
OPP, crop, hook. crook and bag wood"

SeesNcs Has Many Ways
Of Finding Criminals

Identification by finger prints mas
long passed the stage Of argument
and Is considered almost absolute. In
fact 1t has been laboriously estimated
that the simultaneous discovery OF
two persons with identical finger
prints might occur once In number
of centuries running into forty-nipe
figures, from the examination Of D.
100000 600 persons In each century,
says LAvenir, Paris.
Crtminoiogists. however, do not con-
slider Identification certain unless there
are more than twelve p6ints Of similar
ity between the partial imprint left at
the scene Of the crime and the re-
corded dectyloeraph Of the suspect,
Professor Balthasard having demon
stratsd that In order to ind tHelye
coinclding features, very nearly H.
100000 imprinfS would have 70 be d
amined.
But a criminal may leave other
marks than those of his fingers. He
may bear Oh his body or clothing EVIL
dence that 10 has been at the scene
Of the crime. The mark of bite may
be as valuable as a signature. The
print Of bare foot Ii almost as char
acteristic as that Of hand. There
are not only the marks left by the
shoes Of the criminal In soft ground,
in blood stains or on certain pieces Of
furniture-marks which may serve to
identify him because Of the position Of
the shoe nails or the manner In which
the heels or soles are worn down ;
but even particles Of dust, coal and
varnish on the clothing Of the muir
derer and his victim are OF valuable
assistance to the Investigators.

Plants and Liqhf

All plants require some light. Sun
light supplies the energy which causes
chemical reactions to take place inside
the leaves. These reactions convert
the raw food elements into food ele-
ments available to the plant, says a
flower magazine. Therefore such sun
loving plants as geraniums, roses, and
abutilon, when set away in a dark
corner, do not thrive so we'll as when
placed In a sunny window. On the
other hand, plants which like mild
amount of sunlight. and this includes
palms, aspidistra, ferns and many of
the vines, do not thrive II put In a

Pretty Legend About
Island in South Seas

One of the most picturesque spots
In beautiful Hawaii is Cocoanut IL
land, In Hilo harbor. This little bit
of earthly paradise possesses myth
ical origin. The story runs that the
demi-god Maui with his magic hook
fished the island Of Maui up from the
sea and planned to join 1t TO the Is
land of Hawaii. The plan failed be
cause one of his brothers. who was
In the canoe with him, disobeyed a
command that he must not look be-
hind, and the island Of Maui slipped
back to its present position on the
map, and only small piece thereof,
Cocoanut island, remained on the
hook. In this district is Konolale, the
site of a famous temple, Manini, built
many centuries ago and reconstructed
In about 1460 by King Liloa. On that
occasion "a human sacrifices were Of
fered. When Liloa died, Uni and his
half-brother Hagau both wanted

family war god at his temple, and
both raced there from nearby points
to secure It. UNI got there first and
won the title.

Brain Works in Hot Bath

When you have some particularly
knotty problem to solve, try a steam
ing hot bath. Nothing is so conducive
to clear thinking as hot tub, asserts
DR.. L. Hubbard of Washington. d.

lished by the American Medical asso-
cia\ion-
Have the water as hot as can be
borne, and then a little hotter, adj
vises Doctor Hubbard, and be sure
to have paper and pencil within
reach so that you will not lose the bril-
liant ideas that are sure to come.
Such a bath is weakening and
would be exhausting to some people,
but used in an emergency, it will be
found well worth while.

Indians Feared Results
of Eating Wild Turkey

Buffalo meat was, of, course, the
mainstay and universal dish of the
plains Indians-now, dried, jerked,
dried and pounded In the form Of
pemmican of wasna, as the Sioux
called it; sometimes mixed with ber-
ries gathered by the squaws, but gen.
orally "just plain wasna," explains
Frank NJ. Huston in Adventure Maya
zine.
The hump and tongue were the
choicest portions when fresh, though
the latter was dried by thousands.
OF course, In their season roots and
tubers, as well as wild fruits-espe-
cially wild plums-added to the larder.
Sometimes Wild grapes were added to
give dessert finish, but no Indian
would eat apples when first introduced
TO them. nor would the men eat the
wild turkey lest they become coward
ly as the bird itself. They believed
as do our dietitians-that "a man IL
what he eats"
Fish TO the plains tribes was al
most anathema, though some would
eat 1t when placed before them. But
none would ever demean himself by
exertions In fishing. Meat was a
mans food and makes US strong"

"Fishin9" for Coal

A quaint occupation is that Of the
'drudger," who, with the aid Of long
slaves called ''hitchers," salves coal
dropped overheard during the process
Of coaling ship.
The "drudging" fleet, a collection Of
queer little broad-beamed boats, is to
be seen at work at all waterside
places where ships take in coal or dis
charge 1t, says London Tit-Bits.
A certain amount Of coal falls over
board into the river or harbor mud,
from which 1t is retrieved by the
"drudgers," who wash 1t, take 1t ashore
and sell it to househoiders at a low
price.
Coal "drudging' is a skilled occupa-
ton, and one that Is handed down
from father to son.
