Being particularly fond of coconuts, he climbs the trees la search of them, and nips then off with his great pin- cer claws. Oysters are very nervous crea- tures; a sudden thunder -clap trill kill many hundreds of them. It has been calculated that an oyster produces about 400,000 eggs annually, M which only about 400 reach matur- ity. Limpets do not manufacture a.klnd of "glue" try which they stick; they adhere simply by the power of auc- tion. Allinpet measuring two inches, or,.even less, can iwithstand 0 pull of more than 56 pounds.

It is just a hundred years ago since platforms along bridges, quays and streets for the convenience of pedestrians began to appear in Parts, It was then that they began to pro- vide sidewalks for the boulevards which were the ehief arteries of the capital.

White children are brightaer than Indian children not so much because of then' racial heredity as because of more favorable home and aortal con- ditions, is the conclusion of Dr. T. R. Garth of the University- of Denver, says Science Service. Tho mixture of white blood In an Indian does little to raise, his intel- lectual standard, Dr. Garth has found. Contpuring the average intel- ligence of full -blood Indians, he found that the average for the In- Mau rthan child Is 70. The average for In- dians with one-quarter white blood mixed in their heredity is 74. Half bloods rate 76, and those with three- fourths white blood rate 77. The in- crease in int.'lligence attributable to iuvery admixture s th s alight. Education and opportunity, on the other hand, mean a great deal to the Indian, its they mean a great deal to the Negro, Dr. Garth pointed out. Disguised as an Arab. How a Frenchwoman spent many years in the desert disguised as an Arab is recalled by the erection of a monument to her In Paris a few weeks ago. She was Isabelle Eberhardt, an authoress who died a year ago. The daughter of a French soldier in Af- rlea, shee became enamored of the life of the Arab and, disgn)efng herself as one of them, lived for years udder the name of SI -Mohammed without her natfonallty or sox being sea- peeted.

An older slater with a rosycheeked baby strapped on her back and an English spelling book In her hand, appeared from a dark corner and smiled a pleasantly serious Invitation to enter, as she drew forward the red sweat stool, It developed later that 0110 was attend- ing a night class for girls about a mile distant and could understand slowly spoken simple English. The stranger learned all about the farm of tive acres owned by dila family. It was a large farm in that neighbor- hood, most of them being only two or three acres in extent, The taints aro divided by narrow strips of uncultl- rat.ed land a loot or two in width. About half of tlta produce of these tenant farmers goes to the owner for rent. Then Matsu, the girl with the baby, took her guest behind a screen and explained how the line rice flour was used in the thin little calces, and In the delicate "100011!,'' the ealte for birthdays and feetfn'als. 'shin child was evidently the housekeeper, ter the mother and another sister worlt- d In a silk factory, where she too would go as soon as the baby was a little older. Girls are more dexter- ous in this industry than boys, so are always in demand. Another and lees pleasant reason for their popularity is that they are paid less. Two other sisters were engaged in paper mill where the beautiful Hee paper, aa soft as silk, is made. The• rying process requires very careful andllog, it is made up into books and other thirgo; all the bindery work being done by girls. While western organizations are opening up other avenues of work, such as stenography, typewriting, clerkships In stores, etc., it is it the textile industries that the great 1110- jordty of girls and women in Japan are employed in silk reeling, cotton apinning and weaving, etc„ even though in these industries wages are lower and hours longer than in cler- ical positions. 13u1, as little Matsu explained, the 12 -hour day will soon be reduced to 11 or less. The big factories aro putting up fire escapes, providing lunches in some cases, and meeting the expenses of employes who aro injured. Also night work for girls and women 1s to be prohibit- ed. In 1925 there were 181,032 men and boys employed in the textile lt- dustny, and 781,590 women and girls. This preponderance of women and girls r:sat's 1u a ',^eat number of "recruiting a0rut0,..

The food, too, which' formerly was of poor quality, is now of higher grade and served 1n larger rations. - Since 500,000 women and girls It Japan live in factory dormitories, according to Harada's "Labor Condi- tions it Japan," these improvements aro Important. Particularly is thio true as this small country, with Via 60,000,000 inhabitants, increasing at the rate of approximately 900,000 a year, has a comparatively small amount of arable land and few min- eral deposits and is therefore rapidly turning to industrialization as 0 soln- tinn of he economic problem, Rut better than all the , ontmottll and industrial changes that h in• lath n plait^ In the last slaty yasIs 0 the new spiritual outlook of the puc- ple, The old philosophy of fatalism and cairn resignation to a life of hardship and toll is, ander a stere favorable environment, fust giving way as the possibilities of 0 brighter and happier mode of living appear.

While western organizations are opening up other avenues of work, such as stenography, typewriting, clerkships In stores, etc., it is it the textile industries that the great 1110- jordty of girls and women in Japan are employed in silk reeling, cotton apinning and weaving, etc„ even though in these industries wages are lower and hours longer than in cler- ical positions. 13u1, as little Matsu explained, the 12 -hour day will soon be reduced to 11 or less. The big factories aro putting up fire escapes, providing lunches in some cases, and meeting the expenses of employes who aro injured. Also night work for girls and women 1s to be prohibit- ed. In 1925 there were 181,032 men and boys employed in the textile lt- dustny, and 781,590 women and girls. This preponderance of women and girls r:sat's 1u a ',^eat number of "recruiting a0rut0,..

Particularly is thio true as this small country, with Via 60,000,000 inhabitants, increasing at the rate of approximately 900,000 a year, has a comparatively small amount of arable land and few min- eral deposits and is therefore rapidly turning to industrialization as 0 soln- tinn of he economic problem, Rut better than all the , ontmottll and industrial changes that h in• lath n plait^ In the last slaty yasIs 0 the new spiritual outlook of the puc- ple, The old philosophy of fatalism and cairn resignation to a life of hardship and toll is, ander a stere favorable environment, fust giving way as the possibilities of 0 brighter and happier mode of living appear.
