Amoeba, Tiniest Creature,
Has No Mouth or Eyes

There is a little animal so simple
and so queer that 1t has neither legs
nor mouth nor eyes nor stomach nor
anything else that most animals we
know have. It is called the amoeba.
It is the Oldest animal alive, and
many amoebas may be millions of
years old. For they never die of
themselves.
OF all the strange animals that We
know, this is one of the most in
teresting. The amoeba is small, so
small that one cannot see it without
a magnifying glass to enlarge it. And
its body is like little piece Of jelly
in thin skin. We know 1t really
moves. for when it meets something
it goes around it, but except for this
we would scarcely think it lived.
1t multiplies by breaking in two,
instead of by laying eggs or having
young. And each of the two parts
grows into an amoeba, which in good
time splits into two more. These last
two halves do the same thing.
The amoeba eats bits of green or
parts of Wigglers, or anything else,
for that matter, which it finds in the
stagnant pools where it lives. But,
instead Of taking these morsels into
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1936-01-26

a mouth and then swallowing them
and digesting them, the amoeba man
ages much more simply than that.
It wraps itself around the delicious
speck of food. and that Is all there
is to it. The food is inside. as quickly
as a boy can wink, and without the
least trouble.
Amoebas must breathe just as other
animals must But, being without
lungs or mouth, they manage very
we'll by letting the air go through
their skins Of its own accord, very
much like a Summer breeze blows
through curtain.
There are thousands and thousands
Of amoebas in every stagnant pool,
some of them millions of years old
older than the very lakes in which
they live. If single one of them
could tell what had happened since
he was born" he might tell of
time, thousands OF years ago, when
the earth was covered with ice, or
when htere were only monster fish
and no men.
But it cannot, of course, and so it
must 60 silently on in its own little
pool for as long as the world exists.
And We must learn the earth's history
in other ways.

of the occasion. The trip up the river
was thus rendered a most enjoyable
one to all on board, and at the in
stance of the prince the speed of the

dancing time, which accounts for the

which was responded to by like

the prince was escorted to the gang

Footwork Vital in Learning
Fundamentals of Boxing
By Mike Zeleznock.

1885 Intercollesiate Boxing Champion.
135-Pound Class.
THE first thing you must learn in
the boxing ring is the proper
stance. Your left foot should always
be in front. This cannot be stressed
too much. Never allow the right foot
to come before the left one. Your
right foot should be kept back to main
tain the proper balance. This is true,
too. when you step back. You should
take of" with the right and pull the
left back after it. You should practice
this stance until 1t becomes automatic.
The first punch to learn Is the
straight left jab. Hold the right near
the face with your elbow in close to
the body for protection while the left
Is half extended so that the fist Is on
level with the shoulder.
The good boxer does not try to hit
his opponent all the time, but rather
waits until he sees an opening. Then
he steps forward with the left foot, the
left hand at the same time going out.
At once, step back and bring the left
back. ready for the next opening.
The right cross is the second punch
which you should learn. This is de-
livered from the same position, with
the left foot still forward. Step for
ward on the left foot, cross your right
hand to your opponents head, keeping
the left ready for defense. Then
jump back quickly after you have de-
livered the blow.
Naturally, a good defense is just as
important as q good attack. The
principal defenses are blocking. slip
ping, showing blows aside. ducking,
clinching, delivering stop" blows, and
sidestepping.
Blocking is the most important, and
consists Of getting either the glove,
forearm or upper arm between the
oncoming fist and your body. 1t is
imperative that you develop a quick
eye that can tell what your opponent
is planning. Generally, blocking does
not require much effort, but II your
opponent is putting lot of power into
his blows, they should be met with
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1936-01-26

enough force to prevent your glove
from being driven back into your body.
Slipping consists of moving the
body to avoid a punch. Blows are
showed aside by pushing the oppo-
nents arm in one direction or the
other before the blow lands. He will
then miss his mark and the blow will
be harmless.
Stop" blows are a sort of second
guessing on the part Of the man on
the defense. When he thinks his
opponent is about TO swing, he swings
first and thus throws the other man
on the defense. To sidestep, step back
with the right foot, bring the left back
beside the right heel and take a quick
step with the right foot. The left
follows and you then fall back into the
correct boxing position.
In the next article, / will discuss the
different styles Of boxing.

himself at the stern, seized the tiller
ropes and steered the boat ashore in
a sailorlike style, which showed him
to have had some experience in that
way. In the boat with him were the
President and Miss Lane.

WE ONCE had pet cat. She was
such a nicely behaved and clean
ly cat we named her Lady. She was
very intelligent cat. She would not
lie down on the floor or on rug, but
must always have rocking chair with
a cushion in it.
One day Lady disappeared. We chill
dren sought everywhere for her and
called and called. Lady, come, Lady,
comet" but she did not come. As time
passed on we decided she had been
killed in some way. 1t was early
Spring when she disappeared.
One day in late Fall my sister
stepped out the door. then rushed
back In. saying excitedly, Here's Lady.
mother! Here's Lady. children!"
My mother replied. "Oh, no. You
are mistaken, sister. Lady is dead
long ago"
But sister still insisted that she did
see Lady out in the yard. Mother
then went to the door and called
softly, Lady, come Lady," and, sure
enough. there came Lady running into
the house!
But she seemed to be very uneasy
about something. She would look at
US and "mew." then 60 outdoors and
"mew," then back in again. She kept
this up until mother said to us chill
dren, Il think Lady is trying to get
me to 60 with her somewhere. Ill
just go along and see what it is Ill
about"
So mother started out. Lady
bounded out of the door ahead of
her. So led the way to small wood
land not far distant from the house.
When mother and We children caught
up with Lady, what do you think?
Why, she had two little kittens hidden
in the leaves. They were not able to
walk yet. Lady had been stolen from
our yard and taken long way from
our house, but she had found her way
back again and had carried home her
baby kittens.
Mother took the kittens up in her
apron and carried them to the house.
Lady followed. evidently highly
pleased, from the sound Of her purr.
When the kittens were deposited safe
ly in the house In an old basket, Lady
jumped up in her favorite rocking
chair and took a good long rest and
sleep.

don't want to create this effect. VIII
you suggest better way?
Answer-Have them stand con-
veniently near, but not actually beside
you. Then you take the arriving
guests up to them, introduce them
and leave them, talking together. This
maneuver means that your house
guests are continually surrounded by
your newly arrived friends, whereas
if they stood beside you the effect
would not only be formal but no one
would have a chance to enter into
