Reclaimed by Jungle
The old question whether a thing
cun be losk when yuu know where It
Is applle* In oart to lost cities, be
cause the sltox of many of them uro
known and In some cases even the
buildings and statuary ure almost in
tact.
Now, however, their only Inhabit
ants ure the beasts of the Jungle, lions
prowl through their echoing halts,
monkeys ruce across their' fretted
arches and snakes lurk in their dark
dungeons or glide across their crum
bling pavements.
For instunce, the holy city of the
Buddhists?ltaraboedoyr, hi Java?
hud been forgotten for 000 years when
Sir Stamford" Ralll&l rediscovered it
nnd Its wonderful temple, the eighth
wonder of the world, says a writer in
London Answers.
The jungle of Slam bus hidden its
uueient capital, Ayuthla. for four cen
turies. Its inhabitants lied before the
conquering Burmese, and never re
turned. It is now said to be the lurk
ing place of thousands of enormous
sna Kes.
Mystery surrounds the dead city of
Tibet, which Captain Rawllng discov
ered. It Is a vust collection of pal
aces, monasteries and dwelling houses,
but the Tibetans professed Ignorance
of its existence and also of the reu
son' of Its abandonment.
Five centuries ago Angkor had a
population of three-quarters of a mil
lion. Today it is the dead city of
Cambodlu. The carved stone ele
phants, the Immense causeways, the
majestic temples, still remuln, but
the jungle has Invaded the streets
And squares.

Peacock and Turkey
"Look at me," said the peacock,
spreading his tail and strutting grand
ly about; "ara I not handsome?"
"Yes," replied the turkey, "In your
own eyes, but I put up a perpetual
thanksgiving that I was not hatched so
vain as you."
"I should think thanksgiving was
rather a tender subject with you," re
joined the peacock, pluming himself.
"Not at all," said the farmer, who
had been listening to this Interchange
of civilities; "he Is a tender subject
for Thanksgiving!" And so saying,
he caught up the turkey and carried
him off to market.
"Well, well," said the peacock, "I'm
glad I'm too handsome to eat, and that
fine feathers don't always make line
birds, according to the cook."?St.

best came when he shifted bis chair
so that It was directly In front of her.
But be still tried to be polite. "Is It

In public?" he asked.
"No," was the cutting answer, "not

faults to private."?Indianapolis Newt.

his joy therefore, when one day he

the most famous spring salmon rivers
Id the north ol Scotland, su.vs the
Field. In the very first cast that h?*
tried he hooked and landed his tlrst
salmon?a ten-poumter.
,The first salmon Is always the most
perfect and beautiful that ever was
t.?-en and the angler reflected that If
he carried his Ash in the hat; ull day
It would dry and lose Its lovely sheen.
On the top of the l>rue there was a
marshy nook that would answer his
purpose admlruhly. Lie deposited his
treasure in this uest and, having cov

went on his way.
The rest of the day he caught noth
ing except a half-pound trout. Still
he was very linppy and content as he
turned homeward and whistled mer
rlly as he approached the marshy
nook. But there he found a highland
cow In the act of consuming his
salmon, of which little remained ex
cept the head and the tall. In his
anger he flung the trout savagely at
the cow, hitting her full In the face;
but, so far from taking offense, she
seemed rather to think that he had

Young Ducklings Early
at Home in the Water
The woodduck, unlike most other
docks, usually builds his nest far from
his natural element, water, writes ?71 lis
Gllmore MacLeod in St. Nicholas. But
no sooner ace the eggs luitched and
the ducklings about the size of bumble
bees, than each parent bird takes a
little one In its bill, wriggles through
the opening In the chestnut tree or
white oak which harbors the nest, and,
with a quick glance lest some enemy
may lurk near, tiles swiftly overland
to creek or water hole. Here the two
tiny burdens are dropped gently Into
the water.
Without previous swimming lessons,
these newly hatched mites dart over
the surface of the water for the cover
of marsh grass or lily pad where fhey
hide until tlve return of their parents
with more of their brothers and sis
ters.
The flight of the old ducks continues
back and forth from the home nest to
the water until the family of from 12
te 18 are assembled, when, at a soft
call-note from the parents, every little
pad&gr darts from cover and starts
chaslnf water spiders, as If that were
an eld game.

"Here, sir," answered a corporal,

"Do yon charge Private King with

"I do, sir," wss the reply.

"Well, sir," h? said, confidentially,

Income Tax Hom Never

select a chosen few, comprising many
of the kings of England along with
their councilors, probably the achieve*

Safe Maker* Only One
Jump Ahead of T hie ve?
Recent defensive experiments and in*
ventlons might lead ua to forecast an
end to bank burglary; But to brlngj
thla about in fact Is not so easy, afl*
serts the Scientific American. What
concerns safe makers Immediately Lfl
the tMssibllity of devising some metal
or other substance capable of resisting
the devastating onslaught of the vari?
ous types of the acetylene torch, ?
high temperature device which will eat
its fiery way through metal defense#
once thought absolutely Impregnable.
l*he contest betweeu the safe crackef
and the safe maker is fast resolving
Itself into the old problem of the ir
resistible force and the Immovable
body?with the odds in favor of the
snfe cracker.
Since the beginning of safe making
the inventors have lind two sets of
men to deal with?the burglars who
use the drill and those who use ex
plosives. Each new improvement o t
safes has been met, on the part of th?
burglar, with methods for successfully
attacking it.
Marvelous Natural Bridge
The Rainbow natural bridge is lo*
cated within the Navajo Indian reser
vation near the southern boundary of
Utah, and spans a canyon and a small
-stream which drains the northwest*
era slope of the Navajo mountains?
This bridge is unique In that It Is not
only a symmetrical arch below but
presents also a curved surface above*
thus roughly suggesting a rainbow.
Its height above the surface of the
water Is 809 feet^ and Its span Is 278
feet. The bridge and Its neighboring
canyon walls are gorgeously clothed
in mottled red and yellow. The In
dian story concerning its origin Is that
a rainbow was turned to stone, thut
permitting certain hero gods to es*
cape ilood waters in the canyon. De
vout Indians will not pass under thli
bridge without saying their prayers.
The Indian name was Nagee-lld Non
nc-zoshi?"The rainbow turned t0
stone."
Black Maria
Everybody knows that prison van*
are called "liiack Marias." The rea
son for that appellation Is given In the
following term? in the Star of Novem
ber 28, 1874, In the form of a letter
from a correspondent:
"About 1835 or 1840 there resided
in New York city a lady of African de
scent and bacchanalian habits bearing
the classical kame of Maria. Hef
sprees were frequent and glorious. It
came to pass that whenever she in
dulged she was always nabbed by the
police. They Invariably had to put her
in a wagon to take her to the station
house. This thing occurlng so a ft en.
the vehicle was called Black Maria's
carriage. Therefrom the van used to
convey prisoners came to be called the
Blade Maria."?Washington Star.
Exceptions to Theory
The recapitulation theory Is the
theory that a parallel exists between
the embryonic development of an in
dividual and the historical evolution
of its race. This parallel la explained
by the theory of evolution, according
to which. In the words of Sedgwick,
"1 he development history of the Indi
vidual appears to be a abort and slA>
pitted repetition, or, to a certaH
sense, a recapitulation of the course
of development of the species." Tke
theory Is correct te e limited extent li
