A fox will enter a human's body—

To thus he controlled by a fox—or

that “the person possessed hears and

Sophocles makes Electra describe
Clytemnestra as "laughing trinm-
phaotly" over the murder of Aga
memnon; but Electra was a preju
diced witness.
Killing an undesired
husband Is no laughing matter, though
triumph over Its accomplishment—
when failure means death—Is a legiti
mate emotion. Clytemnestra was a
singularly august and composed sin
ner.
Not from her did Orestes and
Electra Inherit their nervous systems;
and not on their testimony should we
credit her with an excess of humor
alike Ill-timed and unbecoming.—Ag
nes Reppller in the Yale Review.
A cougar, out of its invironment and
thoroughly frightened at the prospect
of no trees to climb nor underbrush
to hide in, utilized the manger of an
old barn near Wasco as a place o f '
refuge and was killed with a shotgun.

“One of the most simple and beauti
ful crystals Is the diamond. It con
sists," says Dr. William Uragg, “only of
carbon atoms arranged In a very sym
metrical way. Every carbon atom
has four others spaced round It. The
symmetry of the structure is such that
the atoms are most difficult to dis
place, for which reason a diamond
can be used as a tool to cut any oth
er substance, because the ntoms of the
other substance give way before the
rigidly set atoms of the diamond. In
the diamond can be found the rings
of benzene, the fundamental structural
unit of all the substances Included

Birthmarks
A birthmark Is merely the result of
excessive development of fibrous tis
sue hair, blood vessels, or pigment In
a circumscribed area. Surgical treat
ment Is generally prescribed for the
rtronval of birthmarks. Among the
methods employed are electrolysis, X-
reys snd the use of chemical caustics,
such as nitric acid or the acid nitrate
of mercury. The removal of a birth
mark Is a delicate operation and
should only be performed by a com
petent physician.

In Indo-Chlna rice is grown under

In Cochin-China there
Is no Irrigation; the rice Is planted at
the beginning of the rainy season,
and all the necessary water is supplied
1 by the rains that fall continuously
1 during the growing period. The use
of seeders and drills Is Impossible,
as the ground Is entirely covered wtth

planted in little patches and then
transplanted when a sufficient ma
