Among some of the names the in.

others as descriptive. but not true.
The adult is q very large creature,
with a wing spread of more than four
inches. The female has powerful
biting jaws. with which she Is able to
inf1ict painful wounds on q person
who tries to handle her. The male
does not use his jaws. but he has
looking. curved, piercing Or
gans that look like sharp horns. which
are crossed when he rests. and when
fully opened are one inch long.
These strengthening spikes are
harmless and are used only for
hugging his mate. They cross behind
her head and hold her in a fond en-
brace, from which she cannot escape
until her loving spouse releases her.
The mother seeks any object that
overhangs water to anchor her eggs
safely. The big oval, chalky spots
look like whitewaSh from a distance.
Under these chalky roofs the eggs,
long slender ones in groups, are placed
close together, sometimes a thousand
or more Of them.
Upon Matching, the wee infants,
with many legs, strong jaws and big
eyes, drop at once into the water be-
low. Now you can see the reason the
mother was so eager to use the leaves
overhanging the water.
As soon as the youngsters touch the
water they wriggle to the bottom, and
during their childhood and youth,
which lasts 2 years and IL months,
remain in 1t.

Bedtime Stories

Jerry.
That is true, but the principle is
the same, and you heard him say that
| he never has had a house of his swept
away" retorted Mrs. Jerry. Now, II
we build our new house where it will
be out of the current even in time of
flood We will have done what We can,
and if We lose it We won't have our
selves to blame"
Il wish that fellow had minded his
own business and kept his advice to
himself. II We start q new house
somewhere else all the work we have
done will have been for nothing
grumbled Jerry.
Lets just look around" suggested
Mrs. Jerry, and slid into the water.
Jerry followed. Usually he did fol-
low Mrs. Jerry. They swan all over
the Smiling Pool. Wen pretend that
We never were here before and are
looking for a place to build a house" "
said Mrs. Jerry.
That is nonsense" snapped Jerry.
There is always sense in nom
sense" remarked Mrs. Jerry dryly. and
if you stop to think of it you will see
that she was right.
So they pretended that they were
strangers in the Smiling Pool and
looked it all over just as Paddy the
Beaver had done. When they got
back to the Big Rock even Jerry was
forced to admit that Paddy the Beaver
was right and that there was a cur
rent, very feeble current, but a cur
rent, close to the foundation of their
new house. Mrs. Jerry settled the
matter.
Well start all over again." said
she, and Jerry knew that they would.
He sighed.

Everyday Psychology
BY. DR.. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Fancies.

A THOUGH teacup psychology Is
= the veriest of nonsense, it stands
right next door to the veriest Of psy-
Geological verities-fancy. There is
nothing more characteristic OF the
mind than the propensity to see
things other than they are; no pre-
roeative more purely personal than
the right to interpret fancies in our
own way. Our fears and hopes are
the forerunners and dictatOrs Of these
mental activities.
Verify there Is virtue In teacup pSy-
chology. 1t Is a close relative to the
cOlored water the Old-time family
physician gave you for measles. There
is something to be said for the value
of imagination. 1t seems to me that
the scientific psychologist might well
make an exhaustive study of the hu-
man fancies with profit, even If he
must degenerate to teacup psychology
to get at the facts-the facts of fancy.
What, for example, does it mean
in psychology terms, for one to lie
awake and see pictures in the deco
ration on the walls and ceiling of the
bed room? What does it mean for
one to shift the scenery from focks
OF sheep to images Of personal friends
or to those of historical characters,
who can be envisaged only in terms
of ones private imagination? Or
again, what does it mean to create
pictures which stand for something
that never did exist, and in all prob
ability never will?
I believe that it is this process
called fancy that lies back of the
achievements of the Watts, the Har-
greaves, the Fultons, the Edisons. I
have always suspected that some
thing more than hard work is in
volved in all that is called invention
That something is play-the play Of
the individual inventors imagination,
the shifting of his fancies, making
real what before was unreal.

~A ADDY THE BEAVER had gone
on his way toward the Big
River after paying his respects
i to Jerry Muskrat and Mrs.
Jerry in the Smiling Pool. They
watched him disappear down the
Laughing Brook. They were sitting on
the Big Rock. When Paddy was out Of
sight they looked over to where they
had started their new house.

may as we'll get back to work" He
said it in rather a half-hearted man

PROTESTED JERRY.

I'm beginning to wonder just what it
is worth. There may be something
in what he said"
1T was you who insisted that We
should build right there where we had
our house last year" retorted Jerry.
Mrs. Jerry nodded. so 1 did, she
agreed. 1--WE always liked that place.
I do now. But would hate to have
that house swept away next Spring
as the old one was last Spring. 1

But you yourself said that there

Il had never noticed it at this time
of year." replied Mrs. Jerry. In fact
I never had thought about it. Paddy
said there is a little current, and I
guess he is right. And little current
may become a big current. as We
found out last Spring. There wasn't
enough current to be noticed when
We built the old house, and see what
