Time was when this tribe was as pleasing in appearance as any other, the legend runs. The king in those far-off days greatly coveted the head of one of his enemies, as a decoration for a spear-point in the court. He offered his third daughter in marriage to the hero who would slay the enemy. The king of the dogs made up his mind to win a human bride, In due time he laid the coveted head at the feet of the human king. The princess, of course, was dis- mayed at the idea of marrying a dog, and her father was sympathetic. A sage came to the rescue, saying that if the dog were put in a box, and the box were hung over the wall of the city for 40 days, the dog would change into @ man, His directions were followed. But before the 40 days had elapsed, the all- too-human king opened the box to see how the transformation was progress- ing. Out stepped something that was 4 man except for the head, which was ‘still that of a dog, The princess was obliged to marry the dog king, anyway, and the race gradually came to bear the doglike facial and cranial features observable | today. The name of the tribe, Hak- kas, signifies “dog-headed.” WORTHY OF ITS NICKNAME English Parliament Known to Fame Chiefly for the Things it Failed to Accomplish. Addie parliament is x» name given to the English parliament which as- sembled in London on April 5, 1614— 107 years before the union of the par- Maments of England and Scotland. The parliament of King James I was dissolved on the 6th of the following June. It was called the addle pariia- ment because it remonstrated with the king on his levying “benevolence” or forced contributions from his subjects, which was illegal, but it passed no acts. This was due to the circum- stances that it was not given time to do so, the king dissolving it and so getting rid of troublesome and possi- bly dangerous critics. Addle is from the Saxon word, “adl,” sick, diseased. Addle as an adjective means having lost the power of development by be- coming diseased, as eggs. Hence, pro- ducing nothing, unfruitful or barren, as addle brains, As a verb it means to make addle; to make corrupt or morbid, as to addle eggs. Moon Thoroughly Mapped. The visible moon has been carefully mapped with drawings and photo- graphs. Sir Robert Ball has said, “astronomers know the surface of the moon better thun geographers know the interior of Africa, Every spot on the face of the moon which ts as large as an English parish has been mapped, and all the more important objects have been named.” This applies to only one-half of the moon's surface. Of the other we know nothing. The moon’s surface is richly eovered with markings, the largest of which are great dark spaces which may be seen with the naked eye. The shadows thrown by the mountains of the moon are very dense and sharp because the moon has no air. By means of the shadows thrown the height of the peaks on the moon have been measured, Some of the craters are more than 60 miles wide; some have walls 10,000 feet high, Escaped From a Shark. The distinction of having had his head in a shark’s mouth and got it out again belongs.to “Treadle,” a native of Thursday island, to the north of Aus- tralia. He is described in “The Cruise of the Dream-Ship” by .Mr. Ralph Stock, who says that his head looks as if it had been half cut off. The author tried to get nim to give an account of the adventure, but all “Treacle” would say was: “Me push; ‘im leave go.” He takes an extraordinary pride in his es- cape, and in return for sixpence will show visitors the shark’s teeth that are still embedded {n his skull, and for the same sum he allows himself to be pho tographed! He speaks English in an extraordinary way. For instance, he calls a gramophone “Bokkus belong noise,” and a saw is “Pull um come, | pullum go, brother belong tomahawk.” An envelope is “Trousers belong let- ter.” Hand Ball Game of Ancient Lineage. Hand ball, by which many business men now keep themselves in trim, is a game of ancient Mneage. Suetonius, for instance, tells of the Empéror Au- gustus Caesar playing the game, as well as @ variety of rennis. This emperor, who succeeded Julius Caesar, and in whose reign literature and the arts flourished, had other rec- reations, among them being the play- ing of marbles, and also fishing with | hook and line, according to Suetonius. All Worked Out. “My improved process for gather- ing rubber will save millions.” “How so?” “I have imported wood beetles. They bore into the rubber trees, be- come covered with the liquid gum, and bounce Into baskets provided for that purpose.”— Louisville Courier- Journal Ducks Are Enabled to Shed Water From Their Backs “Like water off a duck's back” is a phrase that we often use, for a duck’s back is the mést perfect waterproof in the world. Land birds are soon saturated by a heavy shower of rain, You may see them afterwards fiuffing out tueir feathers so that sun and wind may dry them. But no drop of water can penetrate the plumage of any aquatic bird. Gulls, ducks, grebes, and cormo- rants dive after food on the bleakest days without getting either wet or cold, These birds are provided with a nat- ural mackintosh In the shupe of a covering of feathers which fit Ughtly ene on top of the other. But their plumage wou!d not remain waterproof if they did not look after It carefully. Every feuther must be greased at leust once a day if it is to turn the water. Watch a duck after its bath and you will see the proc The beak is pushed bgrd into the roots of the feathers, and then brought up to thelr very tips. Diving birds are provided with special glands which supply the beak with all the grease it needs. SAYS ANIMALS DO REMEMBER Why Old Idea Is Wrong Is Proved by Incidents Related by English Writer, I have read an article in which a trapper denies that animals have a real memory, says a writer in the Lon- don Times. He admitted that most of them knew enough to a¥old # trap af- ter an experience or two witli it, but contended that this was merely a manifestation of the self-preserva- tion instinct. The same man cited an instance— not at all unfamiliar—of a dog’s re fusing to hunt with a man who had kicked him. He said that this too was only the Instinct of all living creatures to avoid Injury. Animals do have memory—at least some of them do, The trapper’s theory would not explain those many evi- dences of recollection wherein self- preservation plays no part. I once carried a fox-terrier into the house after he had been well-nigh killed by an automobile. His master had just moved into the apartment house, and I had never seen the dog before that day. We moved away two days later, and I did not see the terrier for over four months, Then one day I passed the house—or was about to do so— when out came that dog, wagging his stubby tail. He jumped all over me, In joyful recognition—and memory. An amusing story, signifteant on this subject, Is told by my father. As a boy he lived on a farm, and was al- ways a close student of animal nature. The mare he usually drove was old and fat, and would never go faster than a walk unless urged. There were two roads to town, one branching of from the other and a little shorter. It had been Old Maud’s custom to take this road, of her own volition, until on one occasion a vicious dog barked at her and snapped at her legs. After that the driver had to be on his guard; Maud would speed up when about 50 yards from the turn-off and try to get by it before she could be restrained. This showed not only memory, but a sense for planning, Why Mirrors Become Clouded. “These wintry and rulny days are sure tough for me,” said the elevator man in an office building. “How’s that?” asked the casual pas- senger. “Look at those mirrors on each side of the car,” directed the elevator man. “T have to wipe them off about every five minutes. On’ cold days the femi- nine nose géts red, and on rainy days —well, the rain washes the powder off their noses. What's the result? Every carload I take up crowds over near these mirrors, takes out the old powder puff and starts dollin’. There’s a bunch of them, you see, and by the time I reach the top floor the mirrors are so clouded with powder they don’t reflect a thing.” “Except possibly feminine vanity,” observed the casual passenger, Why Malamute Dogs Are Scarce. Malamute dogs, the half-wolf, half canine animals known as huskies, are selling In the North at $100 apiece and up, according to returned hunters and prospectors. When the North fs snow-bound and lakes and rivers are locked with ice against navigation, travel is almost exclusively by dog- sled. The lowest price at which dogs can be obtained ts $100 each, accord- ing to advices. First-class antmals, such as crack “mushers” pride them- selyes on keeping, are hard to get at any price, and when obtainable cost several hundred dollars, or as much as a good horse In the South. Scarcity of dogs, it Is said, ts due to the neglect of breeding stock by the Indians. Why the Turkey Died. Mr. Smart did net allow his debtors | much tlre to discharge thetr labfli- ties, and he had the effrontery to call on a customer for the collection of a bill on Christmas day. “I have called,” he began, “to ascertain when you in- tend to pay me the cash you owe?" “Well, sir,” replied the debtor, who was enjoying his Christmas dinner, “] am at the end of my resources; In fact, I have nothing to pay anyone, and I can see grim poverty staring me in the face.” “That being so, I fatl to see why you should be enjoying the luxury of a turkey,” added the creditor angrily, “Alas,” sald the debtor mournfully, “I couldn't afford its keep.” COTTONWOOD CHRONICLE GEORGE MEDVED | Issued Every Friday and entered at) Postoffice in Cottonwood, Idaho as) second-class mail matter. | Subscription one year Six months —...........
