Where Alligator Lies in Wait for Its Prey The rivers and estuaries of northern Australia spread out over the country in great mudflats intersected by shal low creeks, while everywhere as a waterside growth one finds the eternal mangrove. Along the banks of these creeks and across the mud-flats He the blackfel lows’ pads or paths, worn and kept bare by the constant passing of feet; and in some reedy bed or muddy pool beside these paths the cunning “alli gator” will lie waiting for its prey. It will remain thus, quite motion less, for days, but let some unwary creature happen along—a woman, a dog, a kangaroo—and Instantly it is on i he alert. With exquisite judgment the foul brute will await the exact second for action; then a great armored tail lashes up out of the mud, with one tremendous sweep, knocking the hapless victim into the water. Quicker than a terrier worrying a rat the terrible jaws follow up the blow, and before the luckless prey 1 uite realizes what has happened the treat teeth crush through flesh and tone and all is over. Many white men have been caught bat way, and no experienced bush nan will walk alongside or camp close o a creek or waterhole, no matter tow enticing the place may seem. At tight the hungry brutes are art to cave the water, and It would be a errtble awakening to feel the grip of hose savage jaws as they closed on >ne's body and dragged one off to a ildeous death.—Exchange. Widow of Italy’s War Hero Given Million Lire Naples.—The widow of Marshal Diaz, who led the Italian troops to victory in the World war, is to have a million lire from the country in addition to a special pension and whatever other pensions he enjoyed at the time of his death last winter. His will, written on bis deathbed, was pathetic in its simplicity. “I have nothing to leave my wife and children but the house in Naples, which the citizens gave me; my swords, my war decorations, and a few shares In an industrial concern.” The shares proved to be of little value and the war hero’s widow and three children found themselves in straits when the magnificent state fu neral was over and the household bills began to come in. His widow’s pension will now be equal to $5,000 a yeaT, but the million lire, about $50,000, will be given her at once. Diaz, who was created Duca della Vittoria, left two pretty young daugh ters and one son, who Is now working in a bank in Rome. Planetary Lore Including the earth, there are eight major planets revolving around the sun. They are—Mercury, Venus, the earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Mercury and Venus re volve around the sun within the orbit of the earth; namely, they are closer to the sun than the earth is. In addi tion to these, there are several hun dred minor planets which cannot be seen by the naked eye. The moon Is not called a planet. It is a satellite. Some of the other planets also have satellites.—Pathfinder Magazine. - - - * I N. W. WARE | b ATTORNEY-AT-LAW ❖ »% »:« *j* 1208 Dodge Street, Omaha, Nebraska %• X Phones Webster 6613—Atlantic 8192.
