It is very difficult to get to see the Queen.
Only the combined request of the American
Ambassador and pressure from the Belgian
minister of foreign affairs persuaded her
majesty to receive me.
The audience took place shortly after the
Queens secret trip to Sweden, and at time
when there was fresh crop of rumors con-
corning an eventual union between Princess
Marie Jose and the Italian Crown Prince. But
there was no hint of either romance in our
hours conversation
Etiquette, when one talks with reigning
sovereigns prevents the mention of any topic
unless introduced by the royal parsonage Only,
when the princess told me of having bsen TO
school in Florence, and how she loved Italy,
a revealing light Shone in her big gray-bue
eyes.
The princess is tall, getting her height from
her father, King Albert. She has winsome
manner and delightful way of speaking Eng
Lsh. Her chief characteristic is her hair
brown with golden tint-which used to f1uf
around her face and is cut rather short.
I OOKING back on the conversation, I can
see that her majesty emphasized two points
which would be especially pleasing to the
italian royal family, looking for healthy heir
to the throne. Her majesty said to
IT believe that every girl should be trained
in the knowledge Of efficient motherhood be-
to take care of herself and of her babies.
That is why have sent my daughter to take
the infant welfare course in the Social Service
School in Brussels. I also hoped her example
would encourage other girls to do the same"
And then, when the princess was telling me
that swimming was her favorite sport the
Queen interrupted:
MY daughter is strong and sturdy, and
when she goes in swimming in the sea at
Ostend, we marvel at her endurance in the
water
But the Queen of Belgium is more than a
successful match making mother. Even though
planning for brilliant marriage, she wanted
her daughter to be safeguarded against all
eventualties.
1T is my opinion" her majesty said - me,
that every young woman must be so thorough
ly proficient In some talent or profession that,
no matter what her station in life, she could
use that training to stand on her own feet
and earn her own living, If ever necessity
arose For her specially, my daughter has
chosen music"
These were no idle words Musicians In
Belgium concede that the princess has worked
so earnestly at the piano, and later with the
cello, that, had necessity arisen, she could
be concert pianist or a successful professor
Of music.
But the princess frequent visits to Ita1N
planned by her mother, really shaped the
course Of events Was it not logical that she
should become Italy's queen, since she had
been there to school, learned the language and
become an intimate friend of the entire royal
family?
At last the Prince of Piedmont CHS official
ttle) came to Brussels to claim the princess1
hand, and the wedding was celebrated with
much pomp and ceremony in Rome early hi
1890.
The Queen Of Belgium has no other daugh-
ter, but there Is another son, Prince Charles.

Why We Call Them "Cops"
THAT a policeman should be known
L colloquially as "cop' seems
strange and puzzling not only to those
who run and read but apparently to
others who profess to have made
study Of these things and should know.
1t has been suggested that the rea-
son for this colloquialism was the fact
that many years ago, when Fernando
Wood was police commissioners of New
York city, he designed copper badge
which all policemen had to wear for
purposes of Identification.
The fact is that this suggested his
tory Of the term is quite erroneous.
The word "cop" for policeman" far
antedates the advent Of Fernando
Wood. 1t is derived in fact, from the
old English "cop" meaning ito catch"
so that it's use in the sense Indicated
is quite logical.

3SO,OO0O0O years ago were caught here
recently-with a biologists pick.

The ostracoderm resembles a cross
between crab and founder. Its
body was about seven inches long and
was covered by bony plate much
like a crabs shell. Projecting from
beneath the plate was tail and a
pair of jointed fiippers much like the
large claws Of crayfish.

sleep with her baby until spring
comes. Mr.. Polar Bear roams about
all winter long; he doesn't seem to
need long winter sleep. Mrs. Bear
stores up a great deal of fat to keep
her alive through her sleeping season.
When her baby grows up and is strong
she, too, will make herself a snow
cave and follow her mothers example.
The Polar Bears feet or paws are
very powerful and in order that they
may be secure in walking on slippery
ice, many prickly hairs grow on the
soles. And oh, how these beautiful
creatures can swim and dive! You see
they must be able to, for the food
they like best lives in the water. Seals
are a great delicacy as is walrus meat,
but when these are not to be had, the
bears content themselves with berries.
Perhaps these make rather nice des-
sert!
Baby bears are born as blind as they
can be and without one little bit Of
fur. They must be nearly five weeks
old before their eyes can see or before
their bodies begin to grow their lovely
thick coats. These Polar Bears are
the largest in all the bear family and
certainly the most beautiful. Some
times they may swim for many miles,
or drift on ice cakes far from home.
They do not mind, for the whole
Northland is their home and If they
can find plenty Of ice and snow they
are comfortable and happy.
