After a while. he slowly opened his eyes. . His words told me the crisis was past. I can remember when I was afraid to talk to Richard about some things, for fear he‘d think me silly or juvenile.

When the guests went home, he was a‘little hurt but I smoothed things over by tellâ€" ing him, "I didn‘t ask you to sing, because I was afraid you‘d show the others up." _ You may have heard he didn‘t want me fp pull a switch and play the meany in The Shrike. It‘s true, he advised against making up my mind, until comâ€" pletion of the script. When he read that, he said the part was too good to pass up. We agreed I should accept it.

Whether or not life similar to man‘s exists on the planets within our own solar, system the fact remains that of the inâ€" numerable millions of planets that â€" presumably exist within the universe as a whole, a great number . would have physical conditions very similar to those prevailing on earth. â€"â€" From "Our _ Plundered _ Planet," by Fairfield Osborn. f Actually there are only ‘two other planets within our own solar system that have been found to be eligible, nemely Venus and Mars. Venus would be well adapted tor life similar to ours. _ It is about the same size as the earth, nearer the sun, but probably not much warmer and possesses an atmoâ€" sphere of satisfactory density. Spectroscopic observation â€" has unexpectedly failed to give any indication of free oxygen in the upper atmosphere and this sugâ€" gests a doubt as to whether free exygen exists on that planet. Consequently, it is not yet defâ€" initely known whether or not there is free oxygen there. There is, however. much carbon dioxide present. Venus is comâ€" pletely covered with cloud or mist and ‘therefore studies ot its surface cannot be made, The possibility that other worlds are inhabited has been an irresistible subject of conjecâ€" ture for many centuries. In reâ€" cent decades, aided by giant telescopes, scientists have enâ€" deavored by direct observation of planets without our own small solar system to determine whether or not there was such life. In these explorations it is generally assumed that if conâ€" ditions of habitability were found to be not unlike those on the earth, life would automatiâ€" cally make its appearance.

As the cat hestitated on the edge of the pavement, the inspector stepped out and stopped the traffic. The cat then crossed the street and entered a shop opposite. A few seconds later it was back, crossed the street and fetched another kitâ€" ten. "FIRST thing to remember in this business of winning friends," a teacher told his class, "is that most people aren‘t particular how you treat them â€" just as long as you do." From Canberra comes anâ€" other very odd story which nearly takes the prize for the past year. Mrs. Verna Walcott, of Bentley, Victoria, was late in rising and she rushed to the kitchen to put some bread in the toaster. The bread was beginning to char when she remembered that she had put her husband‘s weekly pay, $75, in the toaster the previous night for safeâ€" keeping. The banknotes had been burnt to a cinder! For twentyâ€"five minutes the inspector piled up the traffic until the cat had carried her four kittens from her hideâ€"away to the shop. Then the grumblâ€" ing drivers were allowed to carry on. The only taxi in history that can boast that it was sunk by a North Sea gale was Raymond Sowerby‘s cab. Sowbery was taking three passengers home in Teesport during a gale when a gust of wind whipped the cab clean off the road into the River Tees, where it sank in deep water. Sowbery and his passenâ€" gers escaped. After thirty minutes‘ struggle he got it to the water‘s edge. Then the wire trace snapped and the fish began to get away. McGuire dashed into the sea, grabbed his fish and, after a grim _ struggle, dragged _ it ashore. It was a sixâ€"foot manâ€" eating shark! The most unfortunate angler of the past year was Mahmoud, who was angling in East Pakisâ€" tan when he caught a 3lb. fish. He was holding the fish in his mouth while arranging â€" his tackle when the fish slipped down his throat and choked him to death. That was enough for it. Turnâ€" ing tail, it raced off. Some stranger things than cuffing a lion have happened, however. While fishing off the beach at Byron Bay, New South Wales, John McGuire, aged twentyâ€"three, hooked what he thought was a pretty big fish. Burger thought fast. Then she shinned up a tree. She expected the lion would eventually go away, but it just sat there waitâ€" ing, despite her shouts.

The great Kipling collector of that time was a man named Wilâ€" liamson. He got a bargain when he paid me $750 for the galleys. As Kipling became better known, copyright protection on his works grew important. Until recently it was necessary in such cases, under American copyright law, to make separate printings. . . .

One day I was in his office, and noticed some galley proofs just within my reach in his wasteâ€" basket. "What are those, Effendi?" I asked. "Oh, those are the galleys of Kim. We‘ve gone into pages, and we don‘t need the galleys." I fished the proofs out. There seemed to be two or three hunâ€" dred corrections in Kipling‘s quite lost count, I had an open bookshop across the street from Wanamaker‘s. A woman I knew slightly came in one day, and Rudyard Kipling. "Who is Rudyard Kipling?" I asked, or words to that affect. _ She gave me a copy of John Lovell‘s edition of Barrack Room Ballads.
