some of the beds used by running water.
In such places the water has nothing
else to do but fall.
Whether small like the Laughing Falls
of Yoho Valley, or huge like the mighty
Victoria Falls of Africa, waterfalls are
interesting to all who see them.
Niagara Falls are perhaps the most
famous of the earth, but they are by no
means the highest Yosemite, Suther-
land, Gavernie, Victoria and Iguassu
Falls, and at least 20 others, are higher
than the falls of Niagara. Victoria Falls
and Iguassu Falls have q larger volume
of water.
Victoria Falls, in South-central Africa,
are made up OF the dropping water Of
the Zambesi River. The plunge is 400
feet, as compared with 1853 feet on the
Canadian side of Niagara and 1877 on
the American side.
Iguassu Falls, partly in Brazil and
partly in Argentina, are considered the
greatest natural wonder Of South Amer
lea.
Yosemite Park California, contains
the highest falls known on the earth
In three leaps, Yosemite Falls 60 down
2,565 feet. One leap is 1,4S0 feet-more
than quarter OF mile.
Oroco Falls, Switzerland, tumble about
2,400 feet, but like those of Yosemite
they do not have nearly such q great
volume Of water ~ Niagara Falls.
sutherland Falls, New Zealand, 60
down 1904 feet in three plunges, and
Kalambo Falls, in Southeastern Africa,
have height of 400 feet.
Nature has also given famous falls to
Norway, British Guiana. Colombia, Lab
rador and Quebec.

wings. He couldn't even climb out, for
that circular wall was straight and
smooth. But getting out was not what
Mr.. Toad was thinking about just then.
There would be time enough to think
about that later If meantime nothing
happened to him. He couldn't get out,
but there was nothing to prevent Mr..
Blacksnake from dropping down in.
That Is what filled Old Mr.. Toad with
despair.
Hastily he made his way all around
the bottom of that post hole just to
make sure that there was no way out
or nothing under which to hide. This
was all too evident. Old Mr.. Toad
looked up again and again and in his
beautiful golden eyes was great dread.
Then he backed up against the wall
and there he Squatted down close to
the earth meanwhile staring up at the
rim of that hole so dreadfully far above
him.
1t was only short time, a very short
time later that Mr. BlackSnake, seeking
to get away from his tormentors, the
feathered folk led by Sammy Jay, came
slipping through and under the grass
to that hole. He discovered it the in
stant he reached the edge of it and,
of course, he didn't tumble in the way
Old Mr.. Toad had He had already dis
covered that Old Mr.. Toad had been
along just ahead Of him, and he was
as much interested in catching up with
Old Mr.. Toad as he was In getting away
from his tormentors.
Just before he reached the edge Of
the hole he lost all trace of Old Mr..
Toad. Gould he have jumped or tum-
bled into that hole? IT would be a
simple matter to find out. He slid his
head and neck and part of his body
over the edge and looked down. He
could see the bottom clearly. Old Mr..
Toad was nowhere to be seen. Mr..
Blacksnake drew back, went halfway
around that hole and tried again.
There was no chance for him to be
mistaken. There wasn't even a leaf
on the bottom under which Old Mr..
Toad could hide. He wasn't there.
There was nothing there on that sandy
bottom.
Once more Mr.. Blacksnake withdrew
and this time he went on his way and
a little farther on found fallen fence
post in which was q hollow. Into this
he glided. Once he was out Of sight OF
his tormentors they soon forgot him
and flew away Then Mr. Blacksnake
slipped out and glided off on his way
unseen.
Where was Old Mr.. Toad all this
time? Lying low Yes sir, that is
where he was. While he had sat down
there looking up fearfully he had been
busy. His hindfeet had been hard at
work digging. As fast as they dug a
place he backed in and by the time
Mr. Blacksnake arrived and looked
down in that hole he had wholly dis
appeared and the sand had fallen in
and covered him and the place where
he had entered.

prisoner down in that hole and some
where up above was Mr.. Blacksnake.
If Mr. BlackSnake should find him now,
there could be no escape.
Old Mr.. Toad looked up. Far, oh so
far above him, he could see the edge of
the hole and ever SO high above that
the gray of the sky. A few blades Of
dead grass hung over the edge of the
hole Every time the wind moved them
he shivered. He feared 1t was the ap-

SWEET GUM
In the hollow Of a gum
~ tree. There he was to
sleep until the resurrection
morn. The 'possum and the coon,
when pressed for time, always made
for the swamps, where the great gums
grew. When slave was trying to
escape he would hide in the gum forest
until night came.
In the Mississippi Valley the gum
tree grows to be a mighty giant. In
the rich bottom lands the trunks are
often Is feet in girth and their tops
reach $50 feet in the air. They look
like mighty columns when the branches
do not reach for half their length.
gum tree is interesting the whole
year round, and it will repay you more
than you think to go and get ac-
quainted with your neighbor. In the
Winter the seed balls swing on the
trees and you will see the Cow horns"
above the opening pods. Here the
winged seeds, shaped like the key Of
the maple, take flight in the Winter.
The flowers are knobby little punches
and the leaves are from 5 to inches
long, usually five-pointed. They are
saw-toothed, deep green, streaked with
crimson and yellow in the Autumn.
It has been said that the tree is not
flame, it is confiagration" in the
Fall Of the year. Along a fence rail,
young gum trees, with their polished
star leaves, will turn from orange to
scarlet and brighten the dull meadows.
On the old trees the bark is reddish
brown and furrowed, on young ones the
bark is ashy gray. The twigs have
corky wings, which continue to grow
for some years. The wood is bright
reddish brown, striped with black, and
is straight. close grained and lustrous
when polished. It should be grown to
beautify the landscape and not for its
products.
In 1851 a Spanish explorer in Mex
leo described the large trees and re-
ported that they had 'gum-like liquid
amber. This is the "copalm balm -
gathered in Mexico and New Orleans
and shipped to Europe. The fragrant
gum, storax, or styraX, gathered from
the forests of the oriental sweet gum
found in Asia Minor, is used as an
incense in the temples of oriental re-
ligions. 1t is blended with the frank
incense and myrrh used in the Greek
and Roman Catholic churches. AS a
dry gum for standard gum perfume
it is in great demand
The gum loves the low, wet wood
lands, and may be found from the
District of Columbia to Missouri; south
to Florida and Texas; in Mexico and

STRAWBERRIES GAIN AS
TABLE DELICACY

Although until recent years
Strawberries were looked upon as
q luxury, they are now an mex
|pensive everyday delicacy in most
Washington homes, aver, Miss
Lorna Barber, extension nutrition-
list, Washington State College.
While attractive coloring and fine
flavor have much to do with the
popularity Of strawberries, they
are at the same time a very useful
and wholesome food.
AS a food, strawberries are
high in water, and especially rich
in lime and iron. They contain
some vitamin B. and considerable
Vitamin C. Vitamin B acts as an
appetizer and is vital in the
growth Of bone and tissue, while
vitamin C is the anti-scorbutic Wit
amin. The energy value of straw
berries is estimated at LIT calories
per pound and is found in the cas-
lily digestible carbohydrates.
Strawberries are worthy OF a
much wider use in the family diet
ary, says Miss Barber. Their dec
forative appearance as well as their
food value gives them an import
ant place in the spring and sum-
mer menu, in the fresh state, and
as canned and preserved fruit for
the winter table. An abundance Of
Strawberries in Western Washing
ton and other berry growing Sc
tions makes this fruit inexpensive
this year no matter whether they
are used canned for later use.
The uses of strawberries are al
most inexhaustable. Although the
strawberry shortcake is no doubt
