Wonderful Tales Told
of Monster Serpents
From time immemorial the sea ser
pent has figured in story and legend.
Pliny, the Roman naturalist ,(23-7!) 1
A. D.) tells of enormous water and
land serpents, some so largo that
whole armies were sent against litem.
The hardy Norse fishermen gave
thrilling stories of sea monsters.
Claus Magnus, a Swedish bishop, i
wrote of "n very largo serpent of
length upward of 2(H) feet and 20 feet
in diameter, with a row of hairs 2 feet
in length hanging from the neck,
sharp scales of dark color, and bril
liant, flaming eyes, it attacks boats
and snatches away the men by rais
ing itself high out of tho water, and
devours them.” Ilans Egede, a Nor-'
weginn nd sionary to Greenland, tells
of encountering, on July 0, 1734, "a
very terrible sen animal, which raised
itself so high above tlie water tlmt
its head reached above our maintop,
it had a long, sharp snout, and blew
like a whale." The oarfish, with a
body from 25 to 30 feet long, and al
most ns thin ns n ribbon, Is believed
by some naturalists to he the creature
which gave rise to many remarkable
yarns, told from ancient days until
now, of “sea serpents.” The silvery
body, crossed with dusky stripes, tlie
grotesque head and face, with en
larged fins tipped with red, waving
above like a horse’s mane, might well
give foundation, it is said, to almost
any story. Still no one can definitely
sny that the sen serpent does not ex

Nature Always Fair
How Just is Nature In distributing
her gifts. As a tribute for the gossa
mer skin she doles to the true blondes
and the Titian blondes, she is greedy
in the coloring pigment, for eyelashes
and eyebrows. With the stirring, vi
vacious beauty of tho Blaek-eyed-Su-
snn type, she mingled a nice brownish
skin, none too delicate perhaps, but
which is far more resistant to sun
and wind than that of the fairylike
blondes. To tlie time that Is not per
fect in any sense, she adds tho body
silhouette of a beautiful dryad. In
each case, there Is sure to be one
feature, fact or figure that is nearly
beautiful.—The Dance Magazine.
First Maple Sirup
Maple sugar "making Is an ancient
art entirely confined to tho North
American continent. Before the ad
vent of the white man, the Indian had
learned to extract ami concentrate the
■up of the maple tree. On the ap
proach of spring tho trees were gashed
with the tomahawk, and a wooden
chip or spout it: cric:) to direct the
tluid drop h.v drop into a receptacle
on the ground. The sap was caught
in a birch hark dish and boiled in
earthen kettles. The small quantity
of dark, thick sirup tints made was
the only sugar available to the In
dians and is stated by early writers to
lithe been highly prized.
Loom Has Played Big
Part in Civilization
The Chinese claim that silk weaving
was practiced In China in 2500 B. C.,
and the art of weaving was certainly
known to the Egyptians at a still
earlier. period. Some scholars believe
that weaving was Invented In Egypt,
but In all probabilty It was Invented
in at least four, different places—by a
primitive white man, a primitive
yellow man, a primitive red man,
and a primitive black man. The
earliest attempts at weaving were
simply the plaiting of grass blades,
roods or rushes, done by hand
without the aid of a loom. With
the invention of the loom—even of
the simplest kind, such as Is still used
among American Indian tribes of the
Southwest—groat strides were made
In the art of weaving. Our great
grandmothers used the hand and
treadle loom. The same was in gen
eral use until Doctor Cartwright, an
Englishman of whom it was said tlmt
lie had never seen a loom in ills life,
invented the power loom In 1787.
Since bis day the loom lias been al
tered and improved until it lias now
come to a high slate of perfection.
Altogether Too Many
Tenors on “Pay Roll”
An nctor tells (ids one: "A good
many years ngo," lie says, "a theatri
cal troupe left Chicago with just
about enough money to reach the first
stand on their route. After several
nights’ bad business they found them
selves getting deeper in tlie hole and,
being unable to pny the hotel bill, they
took the landlord along with them,
promising to settle when business
picked up.
The company’s manager discovered
that the landlord sang tenor, and, be
ing short of tenors, they laid him sing
ing in the chorus after a few days.
Business still continued to be poor, and
at the second stand they had to. take
that landlord along, ,too. He also sang
tenor and was given n Job in the
chorus. The situation remained the
same, and they were soon carrying
eight landlords who sang tenor. Final
ly the manager became discouraged
and wired ids advance ngent, ‘Get a
rate at a hotel where the landlord
sings bass.’ "—Washington Star.

Batik Is tiie name applied to the
wax-dyed fabrics that Imve lately be
come popular iu America. Wax dye
ing is a process of dyeing fabrics by
hand after a pattern is formed by
covering a part of the cloth with wax
so that it resists the action of the d.ve.
For example. ;;;“o I CL '.C,.. pattern n
jeiiow butterfly silling on a green
leaf. Use yellow cloth and with a
paint .brush dipped In hot beeswax
draw the Butterfly and cover it with
Wax. Dip in green dye. The wax
covering the butterfly will resist the
action of the dye. After the fabric is
dry draw the leaf and cover with hot
wax. Dip Hie fabric in a d.ve that you
wish for your background. Neither
leaf nor butterfly will take the color.
When dry wash in gasoline to remove
wax and the process Is complete.

answered saying Bobbie was at tier

that lie was not to leave the porch,
and so lie must come home at onep.
A minute later In came Bobbie with

“Here, mother," called Bobble, “I
brought you this stick so you wouldn’t
