Once Populous Citiet
Reclaimed by Jungle
The old question whether a thing
can be lost when you know where It
is applies In part to lost cities, be
cause the sites of many of them are
known and In some cases even the
buildings and statuary are almost In
tact. Now, however, their only Inhabit
ants are the beasts of the jungle, Hons
prowl through their echoing halls,
monkeys race across their fretted
arches and snakes lurk In their dark
dungeons or glide across their crum
bling pnvements.
For instance, the holy city of the
Buddhists Baraboedoer, In Java
had been forgotten for 600 years when
Sir Stamford Itaflles rediscovered it
and its wonderful temple, the eighth
wonder of the world, says a writer In
London Answers.
The jungle of Slam has hidden Its
ancient capital, Ayuthla, for four cen
turies. Its Inhabitants fled before the
conquering Burmese, and never re
turned. It Is now said to be the lurk
ing place of thousands of enormous
snakes.
Mystery surrounds the dead city of
Tibet, which Captain Rawllng discov
ered. It is a vast collection of pal
aces, monasteries and dwelling houses,
but 'Set Tibetans professed Ignorance
of fts existence and also of the rea
son of Its abandonment
Jflve centuries ago Angkor had a
population of three-quarters of a mil
lion. Today It Is the dead city of
Cambodia. The carved stone ele
phants, the Immense causeways, the
majestic temples, still remain, but
the Jungle has Invaded the streets
and squares.
Young Ducklings Early
at Home in the Water
The woodduck, unlike most other
ducks, usually builds his nest far from
his natural element, water, writes Ellis
Gllniore MacLeod In St Nicholas. But
no sooner are the eggs hatched and
the ducklings about the size of bumble
bees, than each parent bird takes a
little one In Its bill, wriggles through
the opening In the chestnut tree or
white oak which harbors the nest and,
with a quick glance lest some enemy
may lurk near, flies swiftly overland
to creek or water hole. Here the two
tiny burdens are dropped gently into
the water.
Without previous swimming lessons,
theso newly hutched mites dart over
the surface of the water for the cover
of marsh grass or lily pad where they
hide until the return of their parents
with more of their brothers and sis
ters. The flight of the old ducks continues
back and forth from the home nest to
the water until the family of from 12
to 18 are assembled, when, at a soft
call-note from the parents, every little
paddler darts from cover and starts
chasing wnter spiders, as if that were
an old game.
His Way Out of Dilemma
The commanding officer looked
down the charge sheet to see what
type of case he had to deal with that
morning.
Suddenly he started.
"Mutiny!" lie muttered. "Private
King charged with mutiny I" Then
aloud: "Where is the corporal who
made this arrest f
"Here, sir," answered a corporal,
stepping forward.
"Do you charge Private King with
mutiny V was the stern Inquiry.
"I do, sir," was the reply.
"On what grounds?"
The corporal hesitated for a mo
ment Then :
"Well, sir," he said, confidentially,
"It was really Insubordination, but I
didn't know bow to spell that, so I
put 'mutiny."'
Heat Kill Germ
Radiant (or visible) heat was em
phasized by Prof. Leonard Hill at a
recent meeting of tbe London Zoologi
cal society as "most useful In helping
caged animals to tight against infec
tion" from tuborculosis. Hot-water
pipes, lie pointed out, though an eco
nomical way of raising temperature In
the animal houses, do not provide all
the benefits of radiant heat such as we
know best In the form of gunllght and,
in another form, In the domestic coal
fire. In fact, central beating excel
lent In Its place Is not healthy heat
ing, as the prevalence of tuberculosis
in steam-heating countries such as
Sweden, Russia and the United States
goes far to prova
Pasted Over Bonanza
Although any '49er who made
good in the gold rush to California in
1849 had no bone to pick with his
fate, it Is a comment that many of
them and their brothers who were not
so succesnful walked right ovr a rich
bonansa In tbe southern part of Ilex
Ico, along tbe Isthmus of Panama,
over which many of them trekked.
Along tbe river of tbe Winding Snake
many 40ers walked on their way to
tt Pacific coast, little knowing that
later prospectors would find a rich
field of oil beneath their feet
Honor in installments
The officials of a certain church were
anxious to obtain a "D. D." fo their
pastor, and a letter was sent to a cer
tain "diploma mm" asking for terms.
As the price mentioned for the honor
was twice us great as the church was
prepared to pay, another letter was
.forwarded to the authorities stating
that they would purchase one "D" now
and the other when they had sufficient
funds for Hie purpose.
