It is a common sight in Borneo to see a large crocodile sunning himself on the muddy bank of a river. He takes no notice of the natives, even though they pass quite near him.

For month?, perhaps, the crocodiles in a river live at peace with mankind, and then suddenly one of these crea- tures will carry off fome lad bathing in the river, or even attack someone paddling along in his boat.

The grotesque mantis is a saintly- looking insect, yet his ohjpct is to prey rather than to pray. For hours together it will assume an attitude of innocence and quietness, its fore-legs raised as if in supplication, and not until some unwary fly or other insect approaches would a watcher realize th^ object of its quaint posture. Then *iih a dart the mantis seizes its vic- tim which is soon devoured. It is easily explained, for the mantis is carnivorous, requiring food such as grMsK uppers, flies and caterpillars, tut bc::-ig slow of foot has to depend iinun ciaft in capturing its quarry. Its saintly attitude while awaiting the ctiiiing of some victim has given rise t-; the common names of "praying in- ..'?' s," and "soothsayers." '"ven the Greeks endowed the I'.iantis with supernatural powers, and in Nubia the Hottentots regard these .'nsccts with the Kreateat reverence. Should one alight on a Hottentot the man is at once considered as selected of heaven and hecomes a saint; but woe unto the native who kills a mantis; he becomes no longer a skill- ed hunter and is ill-fated until the end of his days. Turks and Arabs contend that these insects are in constant prayer, with their faces ever turned toward Meccn. France, Por- tugal, America and many other coun- tries provide similar superstitions, all of which have doubtless arisen from tho quiet demeanor and devout attitude serving to diz^dise the high- ly ppedactous character of these insects. It is interesting to note that the Chinese have better realized their true character. In that ancient coun- try the mantids are kept in bamboo cages and matched like fighting cocks. Such a thing is quite possible, for should two female mantis meet a fight is tolerably certain. By means of their powerful fore-logs they are able to strike tremendout blows, and with these weapons they engage in fierce combat, the result often being that the weaker of the two has one or more of its limbs severed by one suc- cessful stroke of the enemy, or even its body may be cut through. The mule " mantis has a difficult task on hand when wooing his mate. She is both larger and stronger than he, and should his advances not prove favorable he rnrely has the op- portunity of retreating"; for while she will not' accept him as her lover, she takes cnre that he does not become tin- husband of another _? her sprcies by killing hi i, as a Snal act of refusal and then dining off his remains. Can- nibalism is a common feature with these insects, but this is practicing it in its worst form. A FREAK OF THE SEA. Fury of the Mighty Rollers That 8om times Attack Coast. Among the many dangers wblcb "those who go down to the sea la ships" bare to encounter must be reck- oned tbot strange phenomenon known as "the rollers," a succession of Im- mense wares wblcb In certain locali- ties set In npon a coast without the least previous Indication, rendering the use of boats Impossible or at tbe best highly dangerous. Tbe places wbere they chiefly occur are In tbe One weath- er trade wind regions of tbe south At- lantic and south Pacific, being marked, i.v felt at exposed Islands such as As- cension and Si- Helena In tbe former ocean and In the latter at tbe Chin- cbas, Lobos and other Islands off the coast of Peru. Tbe sa may be of perfect smooth- ness, tbe breeze for days previously the faintest zephyr, when suddenly a huge wave appears rolling landward, at first apparently quite leisurely, until It reaches any solid mass of reef, rock or shore, wben. as If roused to anger at the obstruction, tbe hitherto lazy un- duiation becomes a sharp ridge, flings ita crest blgb in tbe air, dashes for- ward with redoubled energy and hursts upon tbe shore with tremendous fury. This wave is quickly followed by oh- era, and the rollers set In. ever aug- menting In violence, until they attain an awful grandeur not to be exceeded In (be wildest storm. A visit of the rollers may last from Ore or six hours to two or three days, and a strange fea- ture Is that they come from leeward. In widely different direction from the usual wind of tbe locality. World Wide Magazine. Afraid of tho Noise.

The- noise was thunderous, and the actions of tbe cadets were, ns usual, most un- dignified and unwarlike. A few days later some excellent pho- tographs of the "yonng men afraid of a noise" were exhibited, and they did tbe work. Tbe next time tbe cannon- roared tbe cadets stood like statues carved from atone, petrifled by fear oi tbe truthful camera. St. Louis Globe- Democrat. Irresistible. A New York broker was praising Charles W. Morse's ability as a money raiser. "They tell a story about Morse," he chuckled. "Morse went to a million* alre one day and said: "Lend me three millions. I must have three millions for that new deal of mine.' "Sorry, Morse.' sn!d the mnilonaln, 'but I've got only two millions In ready money today.' -Is tbat all?' said Morse. 'Well. band it over then.

Beating of DeaJ Heartc Hearts of cold-blooded animals will teat for a comparatively long time after death or removal from the body (if kept cold and moist) because ot powerful internal collections of nerves known as ganglia, whose automatic impulses cause the regular contrac- tions of the muscles. Similar ganglia exist in man and other warm-blood- ed animals, hut their action is less prolonged. Scientists have ascertain- ed that a turtle's heart will beat after removal if put on a piece of glass, kept cool and moist and covered with a bell jar. 1 believe it has been known to beat thirty-six or even forty- eight hours. Twelve or fourteen hours is a common record. Boulevard and Esplanade. Both "esplanade" and "boulevard" are military terms by origin. The original "boulevard" was a bulwark or Tiori'/.ontal part of the rampart, and an "esplanade" was originally the glacis or slope of the counterscarp of a fortified place. A writer aOO years ago noted that the word boulevard was "now chiefly taken for the void space between the glaci* uf a citadel and the first houses of a town"; hence its extension to other "void spaces" suitable for promenading. The old French "esplanade" was defined by Cotflrave a "a planing, leveling, evening of ways," from Latin "expla- nare," to smooth ur flatten out. whence the English words "explain" and "explanation."
