BY means of it the pOssum swings like
a monkey from the limb of a tree,
reaching for persimmons. fruit. birds

dainties are one to the appetite of
possum.
The possum is one of the few ami
mails having an "opposable thumb"
That is. the hind feet are so con-
structed that it can grasp objects just
AS man can grasp them, by opposing
the thumb to the other four fingers.
Keen Hunter
AFTER the sun is down. the possum
comes from his den in hollow root or
stump to begin his nightly wanderings
in search of food. Due to his keen
sense of smell. he is deadly to ground
nesting birds, and he is not averse to
visiting farmers henhouse or a
field of newly-ripe corn.
The general range of the possum is
from New York south and west. 1t
is an interesting coincidence and
nothing more - that his range is al
most identical with that of the per-
simmon tree. whose fruit he likes so
well.
He is a quiet animal; sometimes
you may hear low growl or a catlike
hiss. but ordinarily silent, spectral,
crouChing, he noses his clumsy way
through the woods, the hunter and the
hunted.

The Negroes prefer to take the
possum alive and feed him for a
couple of weeks before preparing him
for the table. Roasted. with sweet
potatoes, he is more tasty than a
young pig. Don't underrate him;
brown and savory and tempting, he
has received the approval of distin-
guished gourmets.

HE OposSum, with his shuffling,
awkward gait. his pointed snout,
his head shaped like an ice cream
cone, his enormous appetite. his far

from his habit. when hard-pressed. of
feigning death. playing possum' -

He curls up on the ground before
his enemy. his gray-white. wind-blown
hair looking as though it might have
been exposed to the elements for a
fortnight. His glazed. oblique eyes.
without any external lids. are often
partly open. His lips drop back from
his gums exposing many of his fifty
teeth - more in quantity and kind
than are possessed by any other ami
NAL. evidence of the wide variety of
his diet. He will eat practically any
thing edible and much that is not.
He puts on top-flight show. but

Interesting fellow, he weighs less

1t would take two thousand of him to

attained his full maturity - somewhat
larger than house cat - he has null
tiplied his weight at birth some twenty

Possums are very prolific - natures
way of perpetuating an extremely
stupid species. Possums have been
taken with one brood within the
pouch and an earlier brood clinging
to the fur and tail of the mother.
This brown, prehensile tail - almost
bare of hair - is a useful appendage.

When Albert w. Atwood. a men,
Der Of the library Board of Trustees
who was toastmaster, called on DR..
Bowerman, the guests rose to greet
him with loud applause
Or. Bowerman Is Greeted.
DR.. Bowerman began by paying
tribute to Mr.. Noyes. saying that 1t
was his vision and pertinacity" that
brought the library into being.
He then touched on the classifi-
cation act In its relation to the
library staff, pointing out that the
good salaries provided under 1t per-
mitted the employment of highly
trained library specialists. with the
result that the District library gives
a helpful type of service second
to none In any American public
library.
Referring to the hbrary's work
among children, DR.. Bowerman
said that when he came to the
library in 1904. the circulation of
children's books formed but II per
cent of the total. while today 1t
forms IS per cent of the total.

In regard to the work for adults,

he said.
THE public library is coming to
be somewhat widely recognized as
perhaps the most important agency
for adult education" DR.. Bower
man continued. Long before the
specific term adult education came
into general use, I had considered
that the main purpose Of the public
library was to afford the citizen
the means for carrying on his edu-
cation to the very end of life.
Just now democracy is on fight

Just beginning to appreciate them
and study their strange way Of
living. Mexico's coat Of arms has q
cactus on It.
It Is the deerfoot cactus that We
are especially interested In at the
moment. It is said by authorities
that this plant is one Of the most
elusive Of the living rock group Of
the Cactaceae family. This Is be-
cause Of its unusual form. The
shape Of its tubercles is responsible
Tor the common name. It has q very
large tuberous root. The whole plant
IS buried completely in the ground.
The average collector Of cacti, alert
as he Is toward these plants, will
pass over the deerfoot repeatedly,
during all seasons Of the year with
the exception Of the season when
1t Is IN bloom. Then the ground
becomes alive with the beauty Of
the large pink flowers which have
risen from the center, and by 30
doing have revealed the hiding place
