GOLDWATER, Publisher Sight of Cat and Owlt Tht belief that catt and owl can tee in the dark Ii a popular fallacy.

According to one version of an ancient legend It was a gorgeous, garment given to the wife of Hercules by a centaur who hated him. Wlih It he gave the advice that If ever the found her husband's aif ec-tl-waiting the should persuade him to don the shirt, when hrs love for her would return. Year prnwed, and llercnlea, attar the Befcle fashion of mythical heroes, grew tired of his wife. She thereupon be-thought herself of the centaur's gift, which she begged her husband to wear, says London TltBlts. He put It on, only to And Hint It burned and tortured him, and finally caused his death, "for he built a great funeral pyre, laid himself tiKn It and bribed a friend to tire It rather than endure the torments of the shirt, which clung to his body ond could not be removed.

Ingenuity Displayed by Spider Repairing Web On the porch of a mountain cottage in Pennsylvania a- - tiny spider was aeen to repair her web In a very In-teresting manner. . The web, except for the threads tbat spread radially from the center, wat torn and weath-erbeate- n ; the spokes, to to speak, were 'Intact "and tightly stretched. Starting at the center, the spider ran outward along a radial thread, sweep-ing It clear of the cross threads, breaking them and collecting the frag-ments until sho had a tiny bundle. That she would roll .up with her claws and tosa out Into the air to drop to the ground as waste material. Appar-ently the gummed points of Intersec-tion of threads she softened quickly by fluid from the mouth, for she stripped the spoke perfectly clean. (The observer found later that he could not strip a ipoke of cross threads by sliding a split twig along It) Returning to the center along the stripped spoke, the spider would free the adjoining spoke, pausing now anil then to throw away her tiny bull of waste. Having reduced her web to spokes only, she proceeded to replace the part of the web that she had cleared away, -- spinning anew the threads that were to stretch from spoke to spoke. ... Such a striking example of economy of time, material and labor was a de-light to see. Youth's Companion. SPRING Who does not delight in watching the calendar for the time when spring is officially arrived. For spring means much to all of us. It is symbolic of life, of action, and of newness; a time when the sap begins to flow and the blood begins to thin. - Youth waxes jubilant, for its essential element is the springtime of life; while for age, spring energizes, and hopes are rc- - ncwed. The traditional "Spring Poet" is at least excusable, if not always excused. His effusion is but a natural outlet. j Welcome Spring! The world takes a new grasp on itself witli your every coming. Uncomplimentary The county Inspector was paying his monthly visit to the village school. He examined the children In reading and general knowledge, at was his custom and was very pleased with the he received. After the last question he roue to his feet and, look-ing slowly around on the upturned fuces, remarked genially: "I wish I was a little hoy at school again." He allowed a few moments for this to sink In nnd then added ; "Do you know why I wish that?" For a moment' or two there was silence, and then a childish voice from the back of the room was heard to say: "Caa you've forgot all you ever knowed." Atlanta Journal. ; MORE POSTAGE Congress at last has recognized the underpaid postal employees, and the president approves. Thousands of persons in Uncle Sain's mail service arc rejoicing. Better pay makes lighter hearts and greater efficiency. At least it is hoped that such results will follow. If so, all may benefit for nearly every person uses every class of mail service either directly or indirectly. Apparently, the distribution of the increased rates is fairly well made among the four general classes of mail, including parcel post, excepting let-ters of the first class which are not to be affected. Hut any scale of rates that goes upward when it affects all of the people should be cautiously tam-pered with and carefully adjusted; for once up it is hard to bring down.

Storm Cloud' Vuibility The weather bureau says that the distance at which storm clouds are visible to the naked eye varies great-ly with one's poult Ion and the kind of clouds. If a person Is In an open flat country and the clouds are of the broad stratus or layer type, he may not see them more than 30 or 40 miles away, and even not half so far If the air tends to he misty or haxy. On the other hand, when the air is quite clear a well developed cumulo-nimbu- or thunderstorm, cloud may, In favorable circumstances, be seen when more than 100 miles away. Labor That Calle for Much Phytical Effort A well-know- n writer once said that oyster dredging on the American coast was the hardest work In the world. The two dredges were wound In by hsnd, and that everlasting wind-ing, balanced on a swaying deck, wat wicked work. The moment one dredge was aboard the oysters had to be "culled," and the whole eight men of the crew were working against time from dawn till dark. The dock laborer's Job Is another which entullt tremendous physical ef-fort A steamer's time Is money, and when cargo Is being discharged not one moment must be wasted by any of those engaged. The amount of work that can be done In one day Is almost Incredible.

It was in the third session that the Apex players made their class mani-fest by piling up a total of 16 points, while the Magna team seemed content with 7. In the last quarter the Apex men continued its onslaught and made IS while Magna trailed behind with 6, the Bingham guards showing con-siderable prowess i. keeping the vis-itors awa yfrom the goals.

The Utah Apex basketball team of the Copper League won its last game of the scheduled season Monday eve-ning at the high school gym, when they walloped the Magna five 50 to j 31 in a game featured by the snappy j passing ofathc winners. Although pressed a trifle at the out-set of the game, the Miners exper-ienced but little difficulty during the second half in letting the fans know they were the bosses of the situation. Lolo Spencer again led the assault for the Apex lads with a total of 16 points, but the real feature of the game was the stellar work on the guard line by Bill Larsen and Ken Anderson. These two lads showed a world of stuff during the game, and in' the second half Anderson uncork-ed some real floor work which netted him 4 field goals. Sid Spencer registered 4 field goals with Theron Jones blazing along with a total of 14 points. Jones has shown a world of improvement in the last three games. For Magna Chuck Archibald proved to be the scintillating light with a to-tal of 12 points and an extra clever j floor game. Collett also gathered 12 j points, four of them coining via the . free throw route. The first quarter ended with the Apex men leading 11 to 7, while Magna braced in the second quarter Auitraliane Know Snout Snow falls In southeastern Australia during the winter months, and occa-sionally lies on the ground as far north at Melbourne and Sydney. On the mountains and in northeastern Vic-toria and southern New South Wales, the snowfall is very heavy. Forests are practically burled In snow and on the plateaus of northeastern Victoria the ground la sometimes covered to the depth of several feet ftotn May to Sep-tember. This also occurs on the high-lands of Tasmania, although there are no mountains bearing perpetual snow-cap- s In either Australia or Tasmania. Another Good Way "That's a fine car.
