George Cross, fish- 'irig some, distance away, 'did not hear the shout. The others, being unable to swim, ran for the boat close by and on their return they located him lying at the bottom in about six feet of water. With great difficulty .they managed to get the body ashore but all efforts to restore life were in vain. .. An inquest was deemed ' unnecessary.

Visitors from all parts of the district turned out as they promised and there never was known to be such a crowd on hand for the last dance as on Friday evening last. ��� Attraction wordings of the advertisement, fine floor, .good supper, latest and best music more than justified the publication and everyone present went away feeling they had helped a Worthy cause and received in. addition a full evenings pleasure.'

"In his surprising method ' of obtaining coolness he is backed by science," comments.the Ponulur Science Monthly. "The hot bath cleanses and opens- the pores of the"skin,'.the warm drink induces perspiration wliich also cools off the body."

Blocks * Many Fish Merely Go to Sleep in Freezing Temperature 'J'he director of a new Chicago ���aquarium is investigating the possibilities of importing live Alaskan blacit- fisbh in blocks of ico with the Idea of thawing them out for exhibition in the show tanks.' Such a scheme has already been considered :by the aquarium authorities tit the London Zoo, for tliere are many fish which will stand being frozen" solid and still revive wheu carefully restored "to normal conditions. At the temperature of freezing water these fish go to sleep. . An ordinary goldfish which jumped out of it's tank lay for 18 hours on a conservatory floor dried up like a bloater, yet came to life when restored to the aquarium. ' It. was" freezing hard at the time and this fact saved its life; in warm weather it would have gasped outfits life in a few minutes, instead bf . becoming comatose. ' ��*' In Siberia, where thc streams freeze "solid, fish are actually quarried outnfor market. They are sold in their crystal casings, and come to life in the kitchen only to die in the frying pan. l .^ A pei trout In a Cumberland household, was frozen solid during one winter and could be seen for somo time in the middle of a block of ice. The thaw came, and it once more 'swam ifbout. �� - In the process whicli is being con- sidered in the Chicago case mentioned above the fish are slowly chilled in tanks until thoy become sleepy. .Then, in Jiighly aerated water, they are slipped inside a hollow in a blocn. of ice and frozen 'stiff. There they sleep until scientifically thawed.

Strange Story From India Says Stolen Hindu Children Crawl Like Wolf Abduclorc Fantastic tales of how/Hindu children, stolen by wolves, learn to crawl on air fours in imitation of their .abr cluctors until far past the age at which children usually walk, are contained in the reports from Lleut.-Coi. Faunthorpe, magistrate of .several provinces of India. xDuring the harvest, season, women leave their children' asleep on. ihc ridges separating the fields, finding later that the babies have disappeared. The women believe they arc carried away by gypsies and wild beasts. Faunthorpe, writing In a Calcutta newspaper, mentions the case or a boy of eight years, who was captured by wolves and later photographed by Faunthorpe crawling on his knees .and elbows .and behaving like a wolf. After his capture the child died from fright. The Hindu tale probably establishes the trut^ of the Roman' legend about Remus and llomulus. " Tlie wolves are considered a pest by the Hindus and the- government is making efforts toward their destruction. ' - ; Lieut.-Col.' Faunthorpe mentions the case of a packet wolves attacking an antelope in flank ��� formation.

I followed him down _ stream \ as far as Palm Beach where he stopped, raised his enormpus head aloft, took one long- 'ing glarffie and knowing wink at the ladies bathing tent and then disappeared. ::'��� I have not seen' him since but should be very glad to hear if any old- timer of sthis District has had a similar experience.
