SA’ RARE BIRD OF THE ARCTIC Penguin of the South Polar Regions Weighs Seventy Pounds and \ . Has Great Strength. The largest, as well ag the rarest, of the penguins, those queer birds of the South Polar regions, was first seen by Captain Cook, . the noted navigator. ‘ ‘These strange creatures some- times weigh as much as: séventy- five or eighty pounds, and the mus- cles covering their breast’ ¢on- tribute more than one-third of thelr entire weight. A very large specinjen war cap tured “and taken on board s > in an expedition to the Ant: stie. Standing erect, in the sheen of its plumage, it seemed @lothed with gpld_ and purple, and white and iduck, Presently it gave en exhibition of its extraordinary strength. One blow of its flipper-like fore limb sent an impertinent dog howling off to nurse his head, Five mefi 5 Tequired to secure the pen- uin, and they succeeded only with great difficulty, one holding to each leg, one to each fipper and one grasping its neck. After being strongly bound, thg muscular bird succeeded in breakIng loose, Another indication of the im- mense strength of the fore limbs, or filppers, of the penguins is the fact that with their afd the birds are able to leap perpendicularly out vf the water to a height of three feet or more, landing upright on a cake of ice. to the edge of the ice before mak- ing the leap, and jump directly up- ward.—Boys’ Life Magazine. JONSON WAS A WAR HERO England’s First Poet Laureate Killed His Opponent in View of Two Armies, Ben Jonson, England's first poet laureate, canie from a noble family, his grandfather having been a man of rank and fortune in the service ot Henry III. His father, however, suffered persecui.on in the reign of Bloody Mary, and it was only at her death that he was liberated from prison. Death: came to him just a month before the birth of his mous gon. f Phe youth of the poet was full of vicissitude. The trade of bricklay- ing had been thrust upon him by a stepfather, but disdaining to be- come a bricklayer, he entered Cam- bridge at the age of sixteen. Be- + cause of lack of funds to carry on his studies he efitered the army and rformed many heroic deeds in the ow Countries. Once he engaged in single combat and slew his op- ponent, seized his arms and carried them, agygy in full view of both orm. When he left the army he be- came an actor. At the outset of his career on the stage a quarrel } with a fellow actor resulted in a duel, in which Ben Jonson killed his opponent, He was oyercome with remorse and the deed Is sald to have colored all his future life. He was thrown into prison and was brought near to the gallows.—De- troit News. ‘ Safety Ahead. “If the majority of young Amert- cans are like little Robert, this na- tion need have no fear for its fu- ture,” said Senator Ledge at a ban- quet recently, and when asked who Uttle Robert was, told of meeting the Lttle chap at the house of a close friend. “He was busy trying to make a boat and finally his father asked him, ‘Why don’t you sit down quiet- ly and try to read one of your hooks, apatead of trying to make at?” ‘ause I don’t like to keep reading other people’s finks when I want to make my own hands do a fink of their own.’” ‘ < Buried Talents. ‘An old negro, who had since man’s memory been a charge on public charity, died the other day in Americus. When a search was made amoug his belongings in the decrepit old cabin his brother found a deed to some valuable prop- erty and #@number of currency bills amounting to $1,000. The bills were in $2 and $5 denomination, But ‘they were so badly worn and frayed that they had to be sent to the mint to De redeemed.

Without this ice of fish so close. at hand, it is doubtful if the Japanese empire would have at- ; tained the high state of develop- ment that it has reached today, since its limited-trea does not per- aoe raising of meat animals suf- je mt to feed even a fraction of the ee ulation, says a report fo the ent of Commerce. Japan's tish catch during 1921 amounted to 1,755,965 long tons, 1,124,877 tons of which were for ta- ble, whilé.the. remainder was taken for the oil content and for fertl- ; lizer, During the last few years meat has become quite popular among the wealthier Japanese, many of whom eat two or three “European” meals a week, but the cost of im- ported meat places it in the luxury class and restricts its use to a cot- paratively small number. The in- creased earning power of the peo- ple, howeyer,.is making it possible for them to indulge in more and more luzuties and, in time, meat may be regarded as a necessary part of the diet, WANTED TO BE ACCURATE Tennyson Corrects Error He Made While on First Train From Liverpoe! to Manch: It was Jack Kemble who in 1833 warned Alfred Tennyson that “he had a touch of mathematics in him”; and readers of the Eversley edition of hig works realize from the copious notes what was the laureate's obsession for accuracy. Harold Nicholson in bis brilliant book on “Tennyson,” records one Geliclous jnatance of Mr. Tenny- son's habit. “In the first Locksley il,” he writes, “he hag indulged in the following simile: Let the great world spin forever down The ringing grooves of change, “Most, people would have left It at-that. Not so Tennyson. The inspiration of the verse had been drawa from a railway engine and had been rendered inaccurately; for it appears that rajlway engines do not, as he had at first supposed, run in grooves. So he confesses. his mistake in a note: “When I went by the first train from Liverpool to Manchester (1880) I thought that the wheels | ram in a groove. It was. a black night and there was such a vast | crowd round the train at the sta- tion that we could not see the wheels. Then I-made this line.’ "— Detroit News. Force of Habit. An Angeleno recently returned from\ Europe laughingly ‘tells of meeting an old friend of his in Venice, Italy, who has a studio in \Calffornia at Carmgl-by-the-Sea, He asked the artist which of the two places he. liked- the best. +. “Well,” replied the artist, “I like them both, but Venice !s aw- fully tough on my cat.” “I don’t get you,” said the An- geleno, “what difference does it make to the cat whetheryit’s in Carmel or Venice?” “Well, it’s this way,” explained the artist. “I’ve got the habit of tossing the cat out the window inte the back yatd évery night, and, of course, here.in. Venice there isn’t any back yard.” How's This? Near San Diego are some quaint | towns and one of them has 2 unique garage.
