Never does one crowd ahead of another, never do they bunch. Is there any reason for this? Perhaps this little incident will in form us, writes C. A. Scheinert in Our Dumb Animals. Five White Runner ducks had a narrow runway leading into their house. Each night they filed in, one by one. Their owner wondered if they always came in the same or der, tagged them to find out, after observing one particular duck was- always third. And for 30 consecu tive nights of observation, they came up to the runway, entered the house, in exactly the same order. "The casual observer will say ‘in stinct.’ But why and what for? Isn’t the word ‘instinct’ just a name to cover up human ignorance, lack of understanding?” their owner said. He believes, after such a test, that ducks can count, to a limited num ber, at least. How else would they select their positions in line? He also believes, after years of expe rience with wild waterfowl, that they are able to communicate with one another and intelligently plan their course of action. Other observers tell us that ducks appear to select their own leader, and his aides, whom they follow loyally. The man quoted above also believes that ducks understand us, for he can call them and they come to him, put their necks into his hand—one by one—and again always in the same order, each awaiting his turn. O tte r Once H e ld Sacred Because H e K ille d Frogs The otter has a scheme of his own to fill his hours with happiness. He doesn’t care to walk on the ice. Instead, he throws himself on it and slides. He loves to slide down steep hills into the water. The banks are often thirty or forty feet long, and very slippery. And none of the neighbors throws ashes on them. The otter has a big place in his tory, asserts Lee Eubanks in Our Dumb Animals. Ancient Persians held him sacred because he killed frogs, which overran Persia. The man who killed an otter had to go out and kill 10,000 frogs. If he re fused, his punishment was severe, in deed. The otter goes back to pre- Biblical days. In old Sanskrit he was called an udra. Mid-European countries called him uder, odder, and finally otter. The rare sea otter is born in the ocean; born at sea in a bed of kelp. An otter can swim a quarter of a mile under the ice. He blows out air in a bubble directed against the ice. When the air strikes the ice its freshness is restored, and Mr. Otter draws it into his lungs again. Though the otter is a good swim mer. he acquires the art. His par ents must coax and coach him. more W A T E R w »just when you need it!

Only the children, the broth ers and sisters, the sisters or daughters-in-law, and the uncles and aunts of the king are entitled to be addressed as “Royal Highness.” In the past this title has passed on indefinitely to all direct descendants of a king’s son. But by the ruling of King George V in 1917, the title is confined to the children and grandchildren of the sovereign. The result will be that certain members of the royal house may in the future be plain Mr. or Miss Windsor. Cat the Gordian Knot Alexander Gordius, a peasant, be ing chosen king of Phrygia, dedi cated his wagon to Jupiter, and fastened the yoke to a beam with a rope of bark so ingeniously that nc one could untie it. Alexander was told that “whoever undid the knot would reign over the whole East.” “Well, then,’’ said the conqueror, “it is thus I perform the task,” and, so saying, he cut the knot in twain with his sword. Hence, to cut the Gordian knot is to get out of a diffi cult or awkward position by one decisive step, to solve a problem by a single brilliant stroke. Costliest Stage Production “The Miracle,” the play which opened at the Century theater in New York city on January 15, 1924, was the costliest production ever presented on the American stage, says Collier’s Weekly. Before a ticket was sold for this drama, re quiring eight principals and 700 supernumeraries, the entire interior of the gigantic theater, including the seats, was made to resemble the inside of a large Gothic cathe dral at a cost of $400.000. Porcupine Can Kill Bear Though it's unusual for a porcu pine to kill larger animals, it’s by no means rare. Bears have been laid low by the needle-like spines. A porcupine kills only in self- defense. When in danger, it erects its quids which are sometimes 10 inches long. The quills are not shot, but are so loosely attached they come free at the slightest touch, and barbed so that once imbedded in an enemy’s flesh they an hardly be removed. 3 DAY SALE-ADG. 5-6-3 Cream Style CORN Great Northern No. 303 tins 2 lbs.
