Strange Facts

The ‘Soul Window*
Who's a Hog?
Army Aboard!
I
In Switzerland, the bedrooms of
many houses still contain a ‘‘soul
window,” or a miniature window
near the ceiling, which is sup
posed to serve as a special exit
for the soul at the time of death.
Unlike such animals as dogs,
monkeys and horses, hogs do not
overeat when having access to
large quantities of food.
When oysters are shucked, or
removed from their shells, on a
large scale, the opening operation
is made easier by first dipping
them in a harmless, anesthetizing
solution, which relaxes their shell
closing muscles.
The largest number of persons
ever carried on a ship were the
14,426 American army officers,
men, nurses and crew members
who arrived in New York from
Brest on April 2, 1919, aboard the
Leviathan. On the trip 320 cooks
working in three eight-hour shifts
managed to prepare only two
meals a day.—Collier’s.
Abe’s Firstborn
A first child, a sen, was bom to
tall Abe Lincoln and his small
wife, Mary, and congratulations
poured in on them. A friend met
the proud father on the street
one day and added his congratula
tions to the rest.
“Thanks,” grinned Abe—then
continued, “but I was scared.”
“Why?” asked his friend in
surprise. “Scared about what?”
“Well,” Lincoln explained, “I
was afraid Jt might have one leg
like Mary’s and one like mine!”
