However, there is a slight bulge in the middle and its thickness at the equator is 7,927 miles. The distance around the earth, at its surface, is 24,900 miles.

Bulldog Mothers Kittens mm For five years, Twig, a buU-te|rier, and Katharine, just a cat of 40ubtful parentage, have been boon companions around the home of their owner, Mrs. Leo DeMarsh, of Glendale, Calif. Last week, ^Katharine became the mother of four little kittens causing Twig to go on a hunger Strike and begin to fret--A veterinary was called and diagnosed the trouble as "longing for a family of her own." Twig solved the problem by moving in on Katharine's family, starting to nurse and care for the little kittens. Katharine didn't think so much of this arrangement so now Twig has two of the kittens to feed and the mother cat nurses the tyro others. Photo shows the four kittens nursing Twig, the bull-terrier, phile Katharine, the mother®cat, lopks on.

One point in the mongoose's favor is that it kills snakes. In India, it is a terror to cobras. It isn't immune to the snake's terrible poison, but is so lightning-like in movement the snake can rarely strike it. Another reason the mongoose is occasionally lauded is because it preys on rats. To rid Jamaica of those pests mongooses were introduced years ago. They destroy«ed the rats all right, but then started on the birds. That's why a mongoose is rarely admitted to any land where it is not native. "Did the shark stick anyone with his worthless stock?" "Yes, the poor sucker." Between Girls .:;;;;'i^Has. Mag been away?"
