Small Water Creature Is Oddity of Nature

The little creature called the lancelot is slender and pointed at both ends and not very easy to see, since it is almost 'transparent and is only from an inch and a half to two and a half inches in length. - ‘ : It lives in shallow water and likes to stick its head end into the sand, into which it burrows with great rapidity. It remains thus for a long time with ‘its tail sticking out. When on the surface of the water it lies on its side. ! '

While it can neither see nor hear, there is reason for believing that it possesses the sense of smell and taste. Its egs are laid ‘about sunset and the larvae hatch out early the next morning. : ' The lancelot has no head. Moreover, it has neither legs nor pairs of fins. It has a mouth, however, placed at one end, which, therefore, may; be called the head end of the body. ! It has a stomach, a very simple form of liver and another simple organ which takes the place of a heart, since it is capable of contracting and thus forcing the blood, which is quite colorless, -forward to the area of the gills, where it is purified.—Review of Reviews. i : :

Lower Creatures’ Odd Forms of Locomotion

In an address before the Wagner Free Institute of Science at Philadelbhia Prof. Samuel Schumucker declared that the euglena is the simplest known, form of animal life. In the lower forms of life, which are found in quiet waters, it is impossible to distinguish between animals and plants. Locomotion among the lower animals must be without legs or wings, says Professor Schumucker. These come only when life has developed into higher forms. ‘“The simplest animals,” he says, “are little drops of jelly, with a whiplash whose lashes drive them through the water by jerks. When ‘they get thousands of little lashes instead, the motion becomes steady. This plan is kept for the inside movejments in higher animals, and we clear air from the little rooms of our lungs by such motions.” Respecting the locomotion of worms Professor Schumucker said: “Worms have come to have muscles whose contraction moves them, - while bristles keep them from slipping backward."—;?athfinder. ,

Original of “Mother Goose”

Very little is known about the origin of the Mother Goose rhymes. The name “Mother Goose” is supposed to have had Its origin in French folklore. Queen Goosefoot, mother of Charlemagne, was regarded as the special patron of children and her festival -is still celebrated. Though the name originated in France the rhymes, are English. New rhymes have been added to the collection from time to time, most of them being taken from English folklore. There is nothing to the story that the original Mother. Goose was a Mrs. Goose who lived in Boston. As early as 1628 Charleg Perrault published a book in England entitled the “Tales of Mother Goose.” Many of the rhymes were probably old then.—Pathfinder Magazine.

Invented in a Dream

. A “dream invention,” making possible moving picture shows in broad daylight, is claimed by a young bookbinder in Budapest, according to a dispatch from that city. The inventor projects pictures not against a white screen, but against a rapidly rotating disk covered with strips of dark green and dark blue paper, which radiate from the center. The dispatch says the invention has been proved a complete success by experiments and is already. patented. . The inventer says the idea came to. him in a dream and he is unable to explain it. : :

Oscar Wilde Sarcastic

An American publigsher once wrote to Oscar Wilde and ordered a “story of 100,600 words,” for which he offered to pay a specific price. The idea of having his wares measured as if by a yard-stick offended the poet’s sensitive soul. A few. days later he wrote back to New York: “Dear Sir: I received your charming letter, and have spent two or three days in delightful contemplation. I should like to write the story, but I do not: see how I can do so. Unfortunately, there are not 100,000 words in the English language.”

Red Cross Organization

The American Red Cross was organized in 1881, one of the most active founders being Claxa Barton, who had served as a volunteer nurse in the Civil war and under the Red Cross flag in the Franco-Prussian conflict, She became the first president of the American Red Cross. It was Miss Barton’s idea that relief should be provided also for the victims of earthquake, pestilence, or other calamity. Both the American body and the international committee soon adopted this extension of scope.

Theoretical Line The 180th meridian in the Paecific ocean was selected as the international date line largely for the purpose‘ of convenience. It ig theoretically the opposite half of the circle of the meridian of Greenwich, which by common consent of the navigators of the world is the earth’s prime or first meridian‘ and is used as the common standard for reckoning time and measuring longitude. : ; ; Record Pumpkin, Charles Pletcher of Wakarusa claims the record pumpkin weighing 147 pounds. - ~ ~ Beautiful Corinne Griffith in “Declasse” at Crystal next Tuesday and lWednesday. ‘ : 5 = SR G OO YIR TN

And Yet That “Roll” - Had Seemed So Real! - The mind is capable of embracing almost any belief or conviction. And the psychoanalysts tell us some of these are revealed in dreams, Strangely, too, they claim we often forget our most important dreams. Perhaps some pyschoanalyst can explain this story, which is vouched for by Tim Crowley. A friend of Tim’s had a failing for stuss. For two years his losses at this card game were the cause of a regular Saturday night squabble with his wife. But every tide turns some time, and one night Jim arrived home with a fine swagger and $l,BOO in bills. His long-suffering spouse immediately seized the roll. “I am going to keep this for all you have lost,” she announced determinedly. : Jim had nothing to say, but noticed that she put the money under the pillow. ' After they had retired Jim began to think how, instead of winning $l,BOO, he might have won $lB,OOO by playing his luck stronger. The idea gained such strength. that he slipped the money from under the head of the sleeping Mrs. Jim and with it sneaked back to the game. A few hours later he returned, having lost all, and crawled into bed again without disturbing his mate,

He had been asleep only ‘a short time when his wife shook him. “Jim, get up!” she said. . *What for?’ he asked. “I want you to get up early to take that ‘money to the bank for me.” “What money?” he asked, feigning sleepiness while his mind worked fast. - “Why, the money you won last night,”” - she replied. “You aren’t awake yet.” . “You're talking crazy, woman,” said Jim, sitting up suddenly. “I didn’t win any money last night. You've been dreaming.” S Mrs. Jim strode to the bed, lifted her pillow and a strange look spread over her face. As she walked away she muttered: “Who would believe a dream could se¢m -80 true?”’—New York World. . :

Tobacco Seed Smaller Than That of Mustard

The cultivation of the tobacco used in the making of cigarettes is a most interesting process, even to those who may disapprove of the habit of smoking the completed product. The tobacco seed is so tiny that a single tablespoonful will produce plants enough to cover ten acres, Certain growers whose crops are. always of the highest excellence will not sell a single seed at any price. Every crop is kept in the warehouse from three to five years for the purpose of “mellowing” or “sweating”—which occurs twice yearly—before the leaves are subject to “stemming.” Sand and dust that have remained are shaken out by sieves, with the result that the tobacco is 25 to 30 per cent lighter because of the absence of the midrib and sand. Nimble-fingered girls can make 2,500 cigarettes a day, but machines can turn out 400 finished cigarettes a minute, or 190,000 in an ordinary working day. :

But He Spoke English

An American girl, decidedly Parisian in appearance, was promenading along the Avenue des Champs Elysees one day when she was accosted by a Frenchman in his native tongue. Instead of insulting him in French, as she was capable of doing, she remarked in icy tones, “I don’t understand a word you are saying.” Whereupon the Frenchman exclaimed “Mon Dieu, another of these Americans,” and walked away. Not long after that a friend to whom the girl had related the incident, met with a similar experience. Shf{a too, turned a withering glance on the little Frenchman, who was muttering in her ear, and told him in English that she could not speak French. “Oh, but, mademoiselle,” replied the pest, “I spik Ingleesh, too.”

Old Idea of Reparation

The Amende Honorable was a form of punishment that originated in France in the Ninth century. It was inflicted upon murderers, traitors, and sacrilegious persons. The culprit was delivered into the hands of the hangman ; his shirt wals stripped from his back; a halter was placed around his neck, and a lighted taper in his hand. In this condition, he was brought into court, and there made to ask pardon of God, the king, and the country, Death or banishment sometimes followed. As the phrase is now used, it refers to any apology or reparation made to an injured person.—Exchange.

Information Sought A certain man who is very precise in the matter of English had occasion to consult a doctor. . “What you need more than anything else is a tonic in the shape of fresh air,” said the doctor. “Before we proceed further,” said the patient, sarcastically, “would you mind telling me what Is the shape of fresh air?” i What She Wanted to Know The superintendent of a model farm was explaining the working of an incubator to a class of young women, At the end of the lesson she told them to ask any questions they liked if they did not fully understand her. Imagine her astonishment when one of the girls, with an earnest look of inquiry on her face, put the question: “Where does the hen sit?" “In the Name of Love” with Richard Cortez and Greta Nissen Two new Paramount stars at Crystal Sunday and Monday.
