Cheetah Described at
Masterpiece of Nature
We call the cheetah the hunting
leopard, but lopurd he certainly If
not. The leopard is heavier, more
truly, catlike. The cheetah Is light
er In the body and mounted on ab
normally long legs. Tbe cbeetab
is a catlike greyhound. No other
animal so oddly combines sugges
tions of such totally unrelated
groups as the cats and dogs. With
a body about four and one-half feet
In length and a tail half as long, the
cheetah stands about thirty inches
high at the shoulder and with his
long forearm and hocks reaching al
most down to the foot be la built
exactly as man has tried to build
the greyhound during hundreds of
years.
So far as we know no records ex
ist to tell the speed of this won
derful beast, hut hunters agree that
for a short distance the cheetah is
beyond comparison the fleetest crea
ture that treads the earth. It Is
masterpiece of nature. To the Hon,
the tiger and the leopard It is what
the airplane is to the ocean liner,
the swift destroyer to the battle
ship. London My Magazine.
Dates From Pagan Timet
Halloween is a relic of pagan
times. In England the Influence
of Druldical ceremonies Is evi
denced in the ancient Halloween
fires. Certain of the customs
which used to prevail in England
wern survivals of Pomona, the god
dess of fruit. Halloween Is called
by this name because the festival
falls on the evening of October 31,
which is the eve of vigil of Ail
Hallows, the festival of All Saints,
which falls on November 1.
