Newcastle is a center Of the British
coal trade, and great port for the
shipping Of #. To "carry Goals to
Newcastle is waste Of labor a IN

to supply a need already well sup

similar proverbs exist in many Ian

When Worlds Were Born

Where do meteorites and shooting
stars come from? Astronomers believe
that millions Of years ago, when the
suns family Of worlds was born, there
was a great planet revolving between
Mars and Jupiter. For some unknown
reason this planet exploded, giving
birth Itself to a vast family Of tiny
planets Of which over a thousand are
known. Il is Of the smaller fragments
that the meteorites are formed. Shoot
ing stars are believed to be a kind Of
celestial smlthereens resulting from
the destruction Of comets. In certain
cases comets themselves have failed
TO put in an appearance when they
were due to return, but great showers
Of shooting stars have occurred In
stead.

Intelligence of Termites

Termites, a species Of white ant,
are among the worlds most destruc-
tive insects. Social in disposition,
they live in colonies, eating wood and
behaving in way that excites end
less surprises. Some Of their prac-
tees are too unpleasant to be de-
scribed. On the other hand, they are
industrious, and highly intelligent, OBJ
serving complex social rules. At the
head Of each community are a royal
pair. The queen ranks as one of the
most remarkable insects in the world.
She is carefully guarded by the work
ers and protected by the soldiers. The
government is democratic, not mon
archial. The queens actions are reg
ulated by the workers. The whole
community is under their control.
