THUREDAY, MAY 1ZTH, 1938 In a recent letter, Mrs. Kay Bailey, of Blackpool, England, whose poems have appeared in The Advance, speaks abow. three books which she has read recently. All of these are books that have been published not long ago, and are new to the public. This is what Mrs., Bailey says about "Rice" by Miln. "Rice is beautifully cescriptive in parts and the auchoress certainly knows her China. The story is much after the theme of ‘"The Good Earth," and to my mind some of the passages are without doubt masterpieces of the fertiie brain of a pcetic endeavour, as 2 If You Like instance "He gave his best of artistry Phone 890 Timmins LYNGCH Westinchouse Refrigerators Priced From â€"â€"â€" $189 LYNCH ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE CO.

No other animal has played so important a pars in the developâ€" ment of civilization, and nearly all the leading countriecs of the world have pictured him at some time or ciher on their postage _ So many and excellent ar> the postal reâ€" presentation of horses that it is difâ€" ficult to choose one ravkher than anâ€" cther but perhaps the best general view is the Kahti horse shownâ€"â€"one of th2 famous Arab ‘breeds that is found in the Indian native siate of Soruth. Sscientists tell us that all the horses of toâ€"day are descended from an inâ€" significant, 14â€"tced animal about the size of a dog called the eohippus. The eohippus roamed the western plains of the United States over 50,000,000 years ago, but most of the members of the family died cut in the terrible glacial period. No more horses were found in the western hemisphere until the Spanish conquest, but somewhere in Central Asia a larger breed, having only four soes, was gradually evolved throughout the centuries. It was about 7000 years ago in Cenâ€" tral Asia, according to the general opinion, that horses were first tamed by man, although ancieont rock carâ€" ings found in India and Ceylon might place the locality farther to the south. In Europe the horse as a draft animal was long preceded by the ox and the ass; and the first civilized psople 0 use horses were the Babylonians, who received them from the Asiatics noâ€" mads about 2000 B.C. A few centuries later the wealthy Hyksos, or Shepherd Kings of Eaypt brought chem still farâ€" ther west, and soon they were common throuhgout Furope. Toâ€"day there are some 25 widely different breeds of horses throughâ€" out the world, ranging from the shagâ€" gy Mongolian pony chat enabled Gonghis Khan to conquer half the civilized world to the fleetâ€"limbed Kentucky thoroughbreds of American racing paddocks. Intimately comnnectâ€" ed with the development of man, cthey all have a long and interecsting story, and oven the pondercus and unromanâ€" tic cartâ€"horse that draws a junk wagâ€" on may be the descendant of a proud "destrier" that bore some armsored knight to the tourney or the Cruâ€" sades. The â€" Dragon Of all the fabulous monsters that stalked the sarth in the supersiitious imagination of â€" primitive peoples, there was none more frightful than the huge scaly serpent with fire spoutâ€" ing out of his nostrils that was called the dragon. Curiously enough, howâ€" ever, the Chinese have always ven*râ€" ated this grotesque beast and it plays an often part in their anâ€" cient folkâ€"lore. According to one old cradition it was a Gragon who first taught man the great secrets of writâ€" ing and philosophy. and possibly this explains why the dragon has always been the national symbol of China and. as the badge of the imperial family, incorporated in all of the posâ€" tal issues of the Chinese Empire. In European mythology, on the othâ€" er hand, the dragon was always reâ€" garded as the incarnation of evil. ‘"‘The devil," sald the grees cearly Christian writer, St. Augustinge, "is a lion and a dragon; a lion because of his rage and a dragon because of his wiles." The church maintained an open season on dragons and several famous saints, notably St. George and St. Michael, distinguished themsclves as dragonâ€"slayers. Later, in the Middle Ages, dragonâ€" hunting became the favorit» pastime of ambitious young knighis, and it played a prominent part in the deeds of Eigurd, Arthur, Tristram, Lancelo and other members of the Table Round. And since beautiful maiden or a vast hoard of gold was always the reward of the successful hero, it is not surprising that all the dragons in Europe were very soon excerminatâ€" ea! The Okapi This strangs, giraffeâ€"like animal inâ€" habits the dense jungleland of Central Africa. The okapi is the least known of the larger mammals. For years hunters had heard from the natives vague reports of its existence, no white man ever actually saw an okapi until 1900, when Sir Harry Johnston succeeded in shooting one after an inâ€" sixâ€"year searchn. in fGOnoOt oi his discovery the animal has been g1vâ€" en the Latin name of "ocapia johnâ€" ce t it «AzaunfA shrout Â¥*+vec {cot â€"fi-’wvâ€"- ILLUSTRATION I L 4 CO.,.

Several live specimens have been brought to Europe, but all died rapidly m captivity, and the okapi still remains something of a zoological myscery. He is somewhat rare in the philatelic sense too, and fortunate is the collector who has in his album this fine specimen on a stamp from Belgian ConSo. The Kookaburra Stamp collectors are herewith inâ€" vited to step up and take a good look at the kookaburraâ€"the only thing of its kind in postal captivity. The kooâ€" hails from farâ€"off Australia, where it is better known by the poetic name of ‘"‘The Laughing Jackass." It belongs to the kingfisher family and possesses the startling habit of letâ€" ting out loud peals of raucous, idiotic laughbserâ€"a wild blast of sound which is said to be all out of proportion to its rather diminutive size. But after seeâ€" ing the kangaroo, the duckâ€"billed plaâ€" tyrlus, and the wingless, cailless kiwi bird, nothing from "down under" surâ€" prises the stamp collector any more, and a kookaburra in the collection may be taken for granted.
