Hippo Carries Dentist

The hunters of Africa say that the
hippOpOtamus carries his dentist
around with him. The latter is in
the form of a bird which accompanies
the big animal in his wanderings, and
after indulging in a full meal the
hippo will stretch out in a comfortable
position and with its mouth wide open
will give a big grunt or two, and this
is the signal for the bird, which flies
into the animals mouth and makes a
round Of the latter's teeth, picking
the mOlars perfectly clean Of all par
ticles.
The big animal seems to enjoy this
treatment as much as the bird, which
gets a big meal without the labor Of
doing much hunting for it.-RehobOth

Old City of Wales
Buried Under Sand

We are accustomed to buried cities
Of the East, and even in the forests
Of Africa one is not surprised to hear
that ancient ruins have been buried In
the jungle. But to find a buried city
in Wales seems something of an
anomaly.
Yet on the borders of Swansea bay,
in the heart of a great sandhill, lies
the buried city of Kenfg. There is
today a village close by called Ton
Kenfig. It is behind the sandhills
in which the buried city lies, and
from which the broken wall of a
ruined tower projects to this day.
In the days of the COnquerOr Kenfg
was a walled city, great commercial
center, and filled with armed men.
But an insidiOus fOe-the blown sand
was always liable to break down
its best defences. Year by year, bit
by bit, it gained the victory, till by
the time Queen Elizabeth began her
reign there was little to be seen of
the city except a dune and a ruined
tower.
For ages tradition had 1t that the
town was submerged by sand in a
great storm, as POmpeii was over
whelmed by volcanic dust, but the
chronicles Of Margam abbey, which
have recently been examined, make it
plain that the sand encrOachments
lasted for many years, and that the
process of burying this Welsh city
was a slow One.-London Times.
