Tomatoes are a risky diet.

"Ofthat there Isn't any question.
And If you eat them you will be
A prey to chronic Indigestion."
And though we like them when w

And eke for dinner and for luncheon.
We straightway gave tomatoes up.
Selecting oher things to munch on.
But though to find a lood we sought
That for oirr system would be safer.
We did not flourish a. we ought.
And shortly wasted to a wafer.
And then another piece we saw
(Of such things we are always
heedful)
Which said to eat tomatoes raw.
For vltamlnes Is very needful.
"A man who's lacking vltamlnes,"
This sclentiflo piece continued,
"Invariably droops and pines
And can't get stout and lusty
sinewed."
We eat tomatoes once again.
But on the brink of death we hover.
And as these fleeting words we pen
We fear that ws shall not recover.
But If we should buck up a bit

been compensating for the incom

formed an entente for mutual de

It has encouraged Czecho-Slovakia,

1. How does a bird breathe under
water when getting food?
A diving bird cannot Inhale under
water, but It can and doei exhale, let
tin? out the air stored In Its lims-
and hollow channels in Its hones. Hy
thus exhaling, the bird also makes
diving easlor. by changing the upeclflo
gravity of Its body. Usually birds are
not actually under water as Ions: as
appears, for they come to tha surraca
and let Juat the bill and noatrila up to
get air.
Where, and in what nh.tse nf d.
velopmcnt, do crickets spend the winter?
The crickets spend the winter In
galleries in the ground, which Istelf
may freeze, but the insects do not
appear to.- They are probshly pro
tected by some sort of arid whioh
their bodies secrete, though thla is
oniy a guess. They are In a dormant

A few of the hlcher animals are
monogamous, but by far the greater
number of species are polygamous or
promiscuous. There Is no mating or
pairing In the great bovine tribe, anl
none among the rodents, that w

or the cat family, or among seals.
Many birds probably do mate for life

Go up to the banquets of Pan,
There's always a place for a man;

Which the dreamer delights to behold;
There are books which the angels
have read.
With leaves that are popples pure.

There are wines from the grapes of
desire
Which the Angers of folly have
stirred.
And nectars distilled from the lyre
Which throbs in the throat of a
bird.
The manna of shadows far-thrown;
The honey of beauty'a pure smile;
The unseeded fruits which are grown
By the waterless lengthening mile;
The date palms of passion have sprend
Their sun-gendered clusters of
pain;
And regret heaps a mountainous
bread
From a mingled and maddening
grain.
The chalice of wisdom brims o'er.
Fresh plunged In a Platonic well.

For the hall of that feast is the heart.
