l Strange But True

87 I". ll. MacArthur

The custom of celebrating birth- days Originated in Egypt. At rim, it WIS only the gods whose birthdays were observed. Then hlghoranking Persona come under the custom. Later. when Christianity swept the World. the observance of natal d-Iys became more or less common lmong all classes of society.

Pharaoh and Herod celebrated their birthdays but the early followers of Jesus did not observe the custom because they saw no reason for such festivities. To them birth was the beginning of a life of oppression and persecution. Death. which brought release from their struggles, was looked upon as the greater of the two events.

it used to be tho ciistnni in col- nmal days to issue invitations on little paper flags which were hand- painted and tied with 3 bli. of 'lbbOn. At a Colonial Ball. the little flags were delivcrrd person- ally by email boys dressed up in stunning costumes.

Canada has the grnn'.cst varia- tions of climate of any country, rlue to its peculiar topography. Northwest ant. northeast of Hudson Bay the climate is too severe for the growth of trees.

It is interesting to i.n'n that. only about. 10 perccnt of lll' plant.- hrought to the It-'(.v World from Iiuropc. can bc cla.-sod as "Wel- i-nmc”. On the nthcr hand. Europ- rans got from Amei'ic'i such high- priority things as: ptitulnfs. toma- toes. maize. and of flOll)Z-Tl, tohactto.

The plant. that wanrlrrrcl across

in its journey bears the name Helodea. Helodea made its first. European appearance in Ireland in 1838 and by 1888 it had almost disappeared everywhere. Why? The billions of water weeds which found their way from America to Europe and then multiplied at such incredible speed were all female flowers, pregnated in

their long journey.

In spite of embargoes, poisons, etc. the potato beetle has made its way to almost every section of the globe. and still marches on.

Incidentally. the name ”Colorado beetle,” came about in the following manner; somebody's note book contained the information that the beetle had been discovered in Colorado years before it got to the New England states.

Potato bugs will live under wat- er in a tightly corked bottle for as long as twenty-six days with- out air or food. .

. .

The eel is equipped with a

.speclal organ to breathe air tem-

porarily and since this organ seems to work rather well the fish is in the strange dilemma of needing both air and water to breathe. If it does not get water is will die after some time. like any other fish. But if it. cannot. get air it uill drown, strange but true.

The writing of the Blblf: ex- tended over a period of 4000 years and strange to say many differ- ent writing materials were used during those years.

To name but at fett: letters chislecl in stone. clay tablets with a uooclcn style. The Ten Com- niandrnents ucre written on "tab- lc.s' of stone". Later. pen and ink ucrc applied and the skins of animals. ponaces and parchment. The first complete Old Testament. books were written on tanned skins sowed together in large scrolls. All the New Testament books were written with pen and ink on papyrus. because merit and vellum were too ex- pensive. Papyrus has the same relation to vellum as a pulp mag- azine has to a slick.

. . ..

Civilization has robbed man of his full liberty. Once he jumped, shouted. danced. etc.. as his In- slinct. prompted him. He atc any old time that food came to hlni, and slept. at will. He didn't have to look through books of etiquette to see whether he was doing this or that the right way. he paid no taxes. handled no money, and lived as free as the birds.

the cradle to the grave. Today, life is cut up like a wed-

cling cake and handed to some on

St. gold platter. to others on a

wooden plate. ' The sold Plltttli

folks made the laws and the cun-
