Me told them the American naval and military forces were superior hut Spain had “more lions.’’ Me even went so far as to say r>oo of the beasts had been landed at Beaufort, not far away, the night before. Taking up the joke, villagers rigged up a “horse fiddle,” or rosined box across which could be drawn a piece of wood os n bow, emitting sounds similar to the roaring of lions. Tills was secreted in the neighborhood and “played" throughout the night. The tenants were terrified and among some of them the belief in (lie lions re mained alive for a long time. Wil liam Warters, resident of Dover, re calling the tale, said that for several days barred doors and loaded guns were (he rule in the district. —Detroit News. Only One Requirement Insisted On for Book The affable salesman in New York book stores are seldom surprised at any request—(he public demand be ing what it is. But one of them re ports that the other day he had a re quest from a dignified little old Ind.v that—to use Ins own words—“knocked him for a row of bookshelves." “I want a book—any kind of a book —with a jacket that is green, with red in it,” the little old lady said. She insisted it could be a cook book or one a lion t the home life of the bee or Soulh pole explorations—anything ns long as its jacket was the color scheme she described. “She wanted it,” the salesman ex plained, “to match the decoration ol her new reading lamp. Can you beat it?” Safe Delivery A Melbourne man recently tele graphed from Sydney that lie was about to leave by train for home. The message put up a stiff contest, and had the passenger walked from Spen cer street, would undoubtedly have won the race. He took a taxi (in my opinion, an unfair advantage) and beat Hie wire home by a clear ten minutes. He was explaining to his wife that the tele gram should have readied her the previous evening when his small daughter spoke up: "Daddy should have brought his telegram with him . . . those silly people might have lost it”—Sydney Bulletin. Explains Fire-Walking The lute S. It Langley of the Smith sonian institution witnessed the fire walking ceremony in Tahiti and de scribed it in Nature for August 22, 1921. He says that the stones used in the ceremony were tested and found to be of vesicular basalt, whose most distinctive features are its porosity and nonconductibility. He found that these stones could be heated red-hot at one end while (he remaining part was comparatively cool. He was of the opinion that while the lower stones of the pit were glowing, the upper layer was fairly cool. Dubch Mania for Work You know the Dutch. They have a mania for work. Theirs Is a land which had to be manufactured out of inclosed bits of sea and remanu factured now and then by being pumped dry. They scrub the streets as if they were plates off which to cat. And as If all this toil were but a mere trifle, they have invented a language the pronunciation of which requires more labor to the syllable than any otter language to the page! —Salvador de Madariaga in the Forum. History of Aviation A curious old catalogue of hooks on aviation in the print department o! the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, brings to mind the interesting and often amusing inventions, scientific and literary, from the time of Leonar do da Vinci to the first successful as cent In 1783 of the Montgolfier bal loon. With n charitable mind, one may’ accept 1783 as the high point In the history of ballooning. All before that date was experimental. Since that time man has been perfecting the invention. Justly Proud The Sunday school class had just presented a most successful program in the form of a Colonial tea. Of this the members were justly proud and hastened over to auntie’s to give full account. “And, oh, auntie,” said Mary Ann, “it was the best calomel tea any class ever did give.” &<%}& Time to Dodge Naturally, the pedestrian views with alarm the fact that a car is now within the reach of every man.—Lit tle Rock (Ark.)
