The oldest game played in the United
States, or on the entire North Amer
lean continent for that matter, Is ID
crosse. The name was given by French
colonists in Canada to the intertribal
Indian sport of baggataway, once q
favorite sport of the Iroquois. The
game, which antedates the discovery
of the New world, was played with a
fury second only to the Indian tempef
in battle, and there were frequent
casualties. French and English set.
tiers adopted the game and formalized
it as a sport. The present game, which
is the recognized summer sport In Can.
ada, bears only slight resemblance to
baggataway, but it remains one Of
the most strenuous sports Of any race.
Many people, In fact, claim it ID q more
exciting and interesting game than
baseball and many leading colleges IN
the United States have adopted Il -

The Robber Flies

The Robber flies are mostly large
flies. The body is long, with slen-
der abdomen, although some species
are quite stout, resembling humble
bees These flies not only destroy 9TH
err flies, but insects, such as humble
bees, tiger beetles, and dragon flies.
They also feed upon the larvae of these
insects. They are very common in
open fields. The larvae live chiefly in
the ground, or in decaying wood, where
they prey upon the larvae of beetles
Some of these flies, however, prey upon
the roots Of plants The family In
cludes large number of species.

Coloring of Pearls

Birds, butterflies, pearls, the lining

fall upon them-waves of many il.f-

them this way and that. They clash.
Sometimes there is total extinction in
dictated by black patterns; sometimes
few colors are blotted out while
others remain in fringes.
