Tuskers Unusual in Ceylon

Sinhalese native carriers are no:

pairing ebony elephants for tourists
and curio dealers, say naturalists
familiar with wild life In Ceylon.
Nearly all the little black eephants
bought In Ceyon by tourists or fea-
tured In displays of tea In Canada
are carved in Gale In Ceylon. They
are artistic and, except in one re-
spect, lifelike. Each is made with
shiny white tusks. The reason for
the tusks is that everybody expects
an elephant to have tusks-and the
Sinhalese are obliging people. Actu.

TONGUE TIED TOM

THOMAS A. EDISON, in his old
l. age, was deaf. once In his youth
he was tongue-tied for a moment,
with embarrassment. IL made him
$4,000 and started him on the ca
reer which resulted In his making
a fortune.
Young Edison had invented a
stock ticker. A company was ready
10 buy IT. Green and inexperienced
In the ways Of business, he stam-
mered and suffered when asked
his price.
Come, come Mr.. Edison :" ex-
claimed the president of the com
pany. "We're ready TO pay you
handsomely for your invention" :"
But at the thought of the stagger-
ing sum he was going to ask he
simply couldn't speak.
"Well. how about $l00,0O0T'
Yes - gasped young Tom Edison.
He had intended to ask only $4,000! !!
In accepting the offer he specified
that II should be paid him In seven
teen annual installments. This
gave him a regular income long
enough to keep hin going on some
of his experiments until they were
successful. If he had opened his
mouth a few seconds sooner in that
interview he would have lost $780,
900! And he might have struggled
along with inadequate funds for
many years instead Of perfecting
his inventions while enjoying an
ample income.

Indoor Postum Hunt
Is Exciting Game

AN INDOOR possum hunt is almost
as exciting as a real outdoor one.
Each hunter has pack of weIl-trained
dogs" and, though the possum is
clever animal. the crafty hunter cap
lures him before very long.
Pieces of candy or large-sized beans
are hidden in the room. Then teams
Of about four each are formed to
carry on the hunt, each team consist
ing Of three dogs and a hunter.
AS in a real possum hunt the dogs
are silent until they tree a postum,
so in the indoor hunt the hunting
dogs must also be quiet until they
find a bean. AS soon as they find
one they bark until their leader comes
and bags the postum" In order that
the leader can always find his own
dogs, each team should have a sep
arcte mark. Those on one team might
tie a handkerchief around their right
arms and those on another team could
tie them on the left.
The leader holds the beans until the
hunt is over, when the one having
the most of these "poSsums" wins.
The more you try to make 1t like the
real thing, initiating the barking Of
the dogs, the calls Of the hunters and
the banging of guns, the funnier and
more exciting it will be.

but since it does no harm whatever,
and a considerable amount Of good in
the bargain, it is an animal worth
having around.
# you have ever sat on your porch
on a Summer evening, with a light
burning to attract insects, and had
toad come along and make meal
while you watched, you know that 1t
can be just about as much fun as o
movie.
Like its cousin, the frog. the toad
lays its eggs in pond in the Spring.
The little round black eggs are placed
in line in the middle of long rope
of gelatin-like material, and when
they hatch they are tadpoles. very
much like frog tadpoles, only smaller
and blacker. When the tadpoles
change into little toads they are still
very small, and it takes them a long
while to grow. Even by August they
are so small that three of them could
sit on a copper cent. In the Winter
the toads, both young and old, find
hole in the ground or in a tree where
they stay until Spring.
Handling a toad does not give you
warts. If your skin is very tender i
may be irritated little, but that is all.
When the young toads change from
being tadpoles they start of on q long
journey away from the pond where
they were born. In dry weather they
hide during the daytime. so you don't
see them very often, but when 1t rains
all the little toads come out in the
open. This is why a lot of people
think they fall from the clouds along
with the raindrops during a Summer
storm.

The Heart Line.

pad of flesh at the base of the first

and is sometimes disappointed. If,

common sense in the affections,

to do things for those he loves.

THIS story is partially imaginative.
1t has to be! Nobody on earth
can look inside another mans mind
and be able to tell exactly what the
other is thinking. But-well. fellows
and girls, you read it and see what
your opinion is.
Gusty-Augusta-is German shep-
herd dog that stays with her master
in gasoline station on a main high
way. She is dignified dog, very re-
served, and very ladylike with strang-
ers. A newcomer to the little house
on the road brings Gusty out from
under a bench in corner. Gusty
surveys the stranger calmly for a
moment, and then returns to her bed.
One night during a heavy rain
storm a car pulled up beside the gaso-
line pumps and two men entered the
little house. They wore coats and
their right hands were deep inside
their pockets and their eyes were hard.
They glanced out of the windo*. No
other cars we're to be seen. They
bought cigarettes, and as Gusty's
owner reached into the case for them,
the men edged nearer the counter.
Gusty silently came from beneath
her bench and looked at them. Stiff
she stood. gazing at their faces. Their
right hands moved in their pockets.
Gusty's throat gave off a low, steady
sound that might have been a growl,
or whimper. The men looked at
her. She held her eyes on them with
out waver.
Her master passed over the Gig
erettes. The men were still looking at
the dog. Gusty had not moved. Her
eyes had not changed expression.

Fun at Home
By Ray J. Marian

IF YOU like to sail toy boats but
have no large body of water near
your home, you can rig up this SAIL
boat windmill and derive lots of fun
watching the tiny boats cruise around
and around in circle.
The boat hulls-four will be needed
are whitfield from thin piece Of
soft wood, making them about 8
inches wide by 8 inches long. The
masts and the spars are whitfield from
pieces Of kite sticks and are cut about
8 inches long. These are shaped
round. The spars are then cut into a
3-inch and 5-inch length. These
short pieces are then fastened to the
masts with wire and string. A hole
is drilled in the hull, in which the
