Sands Dreaded by Sailors

The Goodwin sands are a dangerous line of shoals at the entrance to the Strait of Dover from the North sea about six miles from the Kent shore, The sands are shifting all the time and attempts to erect lighthouses or beacons have failed. There are lights, play buoys and four lightships, but many wrecks have occurred, the worst being the loss of 13 men-of-war in

November, 1703. Tradition says that the sands are the remnants of the islands of Lomea, which belonged to Earl Goodwin in the Eleventh century. The abbot of St. Augustine at Canterbury used the money which should have been spent on a sea wall for the purpose of building Tenderden steeple, so that in 1099 the unprotected island was Inundated.

Maybe So

The professor saw a worm making its laborious way up an iron telephone pole. He thought the critter had made a mistake, so he placed it on the sidewalk near a tree. But the worm again started up the telephone pole.. Somewhat aroused the professor called the attention of a passing friend to this. “I suppose,” .suggested the latter, “that worms have to adapt themselves to living conditions the same as the rest of us. He's probably going up to get some electric juice for breakfast.” —Louisville Courier-Journal.

Really Worth More “Step right up, ladies and gentlemen,” shouted the showman at the falr, “and see the woman get sawed in two before your very eyes. Only a quarter.” . “I'll risk that much,” said a bystander, “though of course, it must be a trick. Otherwise, they’d charge more.” , Considered the Lions “What shall we play next?’ asked Betty. “Well,” said Bobby, after some thought, “we haven’t played Daniel in the lions’ den for some time. Let’s play that.” It was Betty’s turn to think. “It’'s a good game,” she admitted finally, “but 'm saving it until after the circus comes and goes. We don’t want to make the lions nervous.”

Stories of Gigantic ‘ | Birds Long Popular

- The early regard of man for the great birds of prey is reflected in the mythology of many lands. The legend of the roc, or rukh, is widely spread in ancient tales of Arabia, Persia and India. The best known of these tales i 8: found in the story of “Sinbad the Sailor,” says the Mentor, Another incident taken from the “Arabian Nights” relates to the size of the roc’s eggs, which voyagers mistook for a dome, “white, shining glistening, more than 100 cubits high.” . Though the roc mow appears to be purely a myth, Marco Polo reported that Madagascar was the home of the roc, and in his account of his Thir-teenth-century journeyings he states that the great khan of the Tatars dispatched two messengers to the island, who brought back with them a large feather, nine spans long.and two spans wide. In form, Marco Polo sald, the roc resembled the eagle, though “in: comparably greater in size, being so strong as to seize an elephant with its talons and to lift it into the air, from whence it lets it fall to the ground, in order that when dead it may prey upon the carcass.” - In 1851 two gigantic eggs and some fragments of bird bones were found on the island of Madagascar, and for a time the accounts of monster birds of other days seemed to have verification. Unfortunately, investigation showed that while the remains were undoubted!y those of colossal birds, these birds were related to the ostriches and were incapable of flight.

Death Lurks in Bite ' of Tropical Spider The “black widow” is a coal-black spider with a scarlet or yellow dot on its stomach, which lurks under stones and sticks and in hollow stumps. According -to Alexander Petrunkevitch, professor of -zoology at Yale, recognized as onejof the leading authorities on spiders, the bite of this particular species of insect is deadly to man. Reports at the Museum of Natural History show that the Indians were aware of the deadly nature of these spiders and used the mashed spiders as poison for their arrows. The “black widow,” known to scientists as the Latrodectus Mactens, is found chiefly in the South and in the West Indies and other tropical countries, although it occurs as far north as Pennsylvania, ‘and specimens have been found in New Hampshire.—Detroit News. .

~ Perfect Tribute In the old days newspaper reporters covering metropolitan local assignments all wore firemen’s badges with a special Inscription, “Admit within fire lines only.” The understanding was ‘that they entered burning buildings at their own risk. - A veteran police and fire reporter, much beloved by all the fraternity, died suddenly in one of the big cities. A -cub reporter, delegated to pick out an appropriate floral tribute, decided to make it a masterpiece. At the funeral the most conspicuous thing was his enormous floral piece of white roses which covered the. casket. It was made in the shape of a fireman’s badge and attracted somewhat startled attention. For spelled across it in vivid red roses was the warning: “Admit twifhin fire lines only.”— Everybody's Magazine. Nature’s Limitations A whale can “get away” with an fimmense body, because the- water buoys up most of it. The indefinite increase in whale meat that one whale can accumulate is, however, stopped by’ another thing, the limitations of his digestive tract. He simply can’t catch and digest enough food to fill up the ocean with one animal. Insects meet their Waterloo in the growth competition because thelm breathing apparatus is faulty. They, have no system of forced draft breath: ing, like vertebrates, but must depen on the diffusion or drifting of air int the simple tubes that open into thei bodies. Hence even the gigantic insects. of past geological ages, ~with wings a foot long, could not grow bodies thicker than a lead pencil.

Rich Fishing Ground The bureau of fisheries says that the ﬁsé fauna off the New Kngland coast one of the richest and most varied in American waters. About 180 species have been recorded from this area and the host of commercial species includes representatives of the most important world fishes; such as the cod, haddock, hake, pollock and related species; the sea herring, mackerel, swordfish, halibut, flounders, salmon, ete. The outlying bank fisheries extending to the northeast rep‘resent the most important fishing area in the Americas. American fishing vessels alone annually catch about 200,000,000 pounds of sea foods from this area. : Definition of Building “Building,” like many commo. nouns, is incapable of specific definition. It is hard to tell when a struc ture is a building and when it isn't In coraumon law anything erected by art, festened to the soil and designed for permanent use was a building Even a post, by that definition, wa: a building. Thus the great mosque & Mecca, which is really only a larg inclosure, would be a building in the eyes of the common law. In com mopn parlance, however, a building i presumed to have a roof, ynless it i: incomplete.—Pathfinder Magazine. ‘CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SOCIETY Services in Weir Block. Sunday school 9:45 A.
