He is very fond of the clams or, more properly speaking, the mus- sels, that live on the bottom of the Smiling Pool and the Laughing Brook and the Big River. It isn't every one who can open one of these clams, but Jerry can. Often you will find in the water little piles of empty. shells, Then you know that Jerry Muskrat has had many a good meal right there. Bobby Coon sat watching him, and Bobby was fillled with a great long- ing. He would have liked some of those clams. It was most tantalizing to sit there and watch Jerry open and eat them. He had asked Jerry if he could spare one, and Jerry had promptly replied that he could not. N THE moonlight Jerry Muskrat sat on one of his favorite land- BOBBY COON SAT WATCHING HIM AND WAS FILLED WITH | GREAT LONGING. | He had suggested that Bobby go find the clams for himself. All the time| he knew that Bobby couldn't do that, for he knew that Bobby couldn't dive and stay under water long enough to dig up one of those clams from the bottom. | Bobby knew that he was foolish | to sit there and watch Jerry, for every time that Jerry brought up a clam, Bobby had an increase in long- ing. He considered trying to take one of those clams away from Jerry, but Jerry was on the edge of the water, and he knew that at the first move he should make Jerry would simply dive in and swim away under water. Two or three times Bobby Coon started to leave; each time he turned S FEATURES. it isn't far there, and I may as well have a look around.” So Hooty spread his great wings and silently flew over the treetops above the Laughing Brook down to the Smiling Pool. You know, Hooty makes no sound when he flies. He makes no sound at all. There are three things about Hooty the Owl that are quite wonderful. They are his ears, which can hear the faintest of sounds; his eyes, with which he can see when there is so little light that you and I wouldn't see at all, and his great wings, which make no sound, even though he passes close to you. As soon as he reached the Smiling Pool he saw Jerry Muskrat, and he saw that Jerry was so intent on his [feast of clams that he was paying no attention to anything else. At the same time Hooty saw Bobby Coon, but he paid no heed to Bobby, who| was too big and strong for Hooty to| dream of attacking. Jerry Muskrat, however, was another matter. Hooty swung around so as to come up behind Jerry just as he glimbed out of the water with a clam. What warned Jerry no one will ever know. Perhaps he caught sight of a moving shadow. Anyway, he dropped his clam and made a frantic plunge into 85 ©18 Ko P Sads. I, G Bt b - Muvver said ner naa some marti- vous pictures of us in here, but I can’t seem t’ see ‘em. Who Are You? The Romance of Your Name. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, Sonnysayings Nature’s D. C., THURSDAY, AUGUST 8, 1935 Children Dusky Gelada Baboon (Theropithecus Crocuta). BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. 8 YOU stand before his prison bars at the zoo, your first 1m- pression of this citizen of Africa is his resemblance to a black poodle dog, whos: mane has become luxuriant by brushing. Prom every angle, he presents a most unu- sual picture. And as you recall his family history, you cannot help think- ing what a long way from home this creature is. The dusky Gelada baboon is referred to as the dog-faced monkey, because of its long muzzle and the intelligent expression of the eyes. This fellow's home, or at least its ancestors’ home, was in the southern part of Abyssinia. It can be distinguished from the true baboons by the fact that its nostrils are placed some distance behind the edge of the snout. This places the Gelada as the connecting link between the true baboon and the black ape. The Gelada baboon is rather ldrge, and his heavy fur coat makes him ap- pear even larger. The shoulders, back, rump and forearms, as well as most of the naked spots, are a deep black. The head, neck and sides are clothed the water, and he was just in the very nick of time. The splash he made had hardly ended when Bobby Coon had that clam Jerry had dropped on his landing place. (Copyr! Psyjl(;lggy BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Reaction-Time. T 1795 an astronomer at the Green- wich Observatéry near London was dismissed. His superior officer had discovered that he continually made an error of 8-10 of a second in his chservations of the transit of stars across the meridian. This man's dismissal led to the dis- covery of the ‘personal equation,” now known as “reaction-time.” Indi- viduals differ considerably in the time it takes them to perform a simple act upon a given signal.

The heavy mane of long black hair, growing from his neck and flowing gracefully over his shoulders, is his chief charm and attraction. His chest is bare and brightly col- ored, and often betrays him from a distance. His fairly long tail is round and tipped with a long black tuft of hair. It is not prehensile. It is car- ried at a proud angle when the Gelada is galloping along. As with all baboons, the callous | patches on their buttocks are very | large and often are brightly colored. You will notice the arms and legs are of nearly equal length, and this accounts for their ability to get over ground s0 quickly. As a matter of | fact, all baboons are more at home on the ground than above it. The male is much larger than his mate and is armed with tusks. A | bite from one of these creatures is | as severe and dangerous as that of the leopard, and an old baboon will not tolerate any “monkey business” among his tribe. Several of the old baboons will form a scouting party, and clear their domain of a husky leopard, in one well-planned skirmish. Baboons walk on all fours and can gallop with ease, being overtaken only by a good horse. When cornered, they will stand on their hind legs and acquit themselves honorably. Any kind of food, growing near their home, is acceptable—seeds, roots, fruit, etc. They are especially fond |- of chewing gum that is exuded from the stems of the African acacias. Along the way they pause for such tid- bits as insects, birds’ eggs and lizards. In common with all baboons, the dusky Geladas are hot-tempered, and fly into & rage when everything does not go to suit them. Yet they may become tractable, and even learn a few tricks, if kindly treated. The visit to the zo0 a second time will be like calling on an old acquaintance. In their native haunts, also, they are very socially inclined, living in large troops where rocky regions are Contract BY P. HAL SIMS, Grand Coup.
