CrocodiIes Victims of
Their Own Bad Temper

Crocodiles have been endowed be-
yond other creatures with the gift of
tears and are believed to find 1t q
business asset. While the world has
stood gaping at the spectacle Of SO
fearful q reptile. the crocodile has
gaped to greater purpose. Now, how
ever, he Is to lose the advantage Of
surprise and his tears will be a puz-
zle no longer, says the London Times
Imperial scientific research has found
out something about crocodIles which
1t would be very decidedly worth their
own while to know.
Researches carried on In Uganda
have shown that crocodlles have a
secret grief. They are very human in
some ways and are inclined to sleep
with their mouths open. There is
nothing wrong 80 far, and II croco-
dies pass most Of their lives in
snOoze nobody will complain. But 1t
appears that the tsetse fly is addicted
to walking around the open mouths of
sleeping crocodlles and to biting the
softer parts.
Crocodiles let this Irritation master
them and pay terrible price for
their bad temper. They snap their
jaws and swallow the flies and with
them the germ Of the sleeping sick
ness. 1t is the old story of the lion
and the mouse-that kindness, or
at least forbearance. from the bigger
beast pays in the long run.

Artistic Treasures in al
Cities of Sunny Spain

Exalting one of the many charms
Of any country above the others is
always dangerous, but in the case OF
Spain few would question the right of
its glorious and varied monuments of
architecture to pre-eminent position.
More fortunate in this respect than
other Continental countries, its Gothic
and Renaissance masterpieces of art
are supplemented by the mosques and
palaces left as heritage to the nation
by the Moorish occupation of southern
Spain. st
Romance and magic lie in the very
mention Of the Spanish place names
and treasures of art-the stored Al
hambra and the stately Alcazar Of
Granada, the Mosque Of Cordoba, the
Pillar of ZaragoZa, the massive Cathe-
dral Of Burgos, with Its lovely towers;
Seville's magnificent cathedral, the
famed Giralda and the Alcazar, the
immensely and beauty Of the Monas-
terry Of the Escorial, the richness Of
the facade of Santiago's cathedral, the
University of Salamanca, the Roman
aqueduct of Segovia, the arabesque
treasures of Valencia (the city of the
Cid), the royal palace of Madrid and
the splendor Of Toledo's cathedral.
All these and many more are gems of
art and symbols of a rich history.
Their beauty is rivaled only by their
surprising MISUNDERSTANDING.

defender of the Faith"

Henry VIII, who was political
rather than theological rebel against
the Roman church, and in his youth
was a champion of orthodoxy, wrote
book in defense of the seven sacra-
n-ents against Luther. In recognition
of his services. Pope Leo X granted
to him in 1921 the title of Defender
of the Faith" so putting him on an
equal footing with the Catholic" king
of Spain and the "Most Christian"
king of France. After Henry's break
with Rome, Pope Paul III revoked the
title; but in 1914 Henry obtained an
act of his own parliament comforting
the same title upon him. 1t has been
borne ever since by the sovereigns of
England, and appears on the coins as
