Tuere was an old story, to which wo find constant reference la Elizabethan writers, thst crocodiles wept over their prey. No doubt the legend aroso bees use the crocodile possesses large? ly developed lachrymal glands, bat it appears In various arousing forma. Aa earlj aa the fourteenth century, in "Mandevllle'a Travel*," wo find: "In that contra ben great ptontee of Ooka d til tea Theise serpeute.* alen men, and the! eten hem wenynge." An odd turn la given tn the tale by the narrator of one of sir John Haw kins' voyages. Whether he waa a mar? ried man or not we do not know, but he writes: "His nature Is ever, when bo would have his prey, to cry and sob like a Christian body, to proeoko them to come to him. and then he snatched at them! And thereupon came this proverb, that Is applied onto women when they weep. T.achrrmae croeodill. the meaning whereof is that aa the crocodile when he crteth gneth them about most to deceive, so doth a women most commonly when she weepeth." In Fuller'* "Worthies'* there I* the added Information that "the crocodile's tear* are never true anre when he l?? forced where saffron grnweth " Shake aneare. Spenser and Dryden allude to this old world fancy. LOVELY LUCERNE. The Tourist Center of the "Playground of Europe " Lucerne, situated In the heart of Switzerland, stands, as it were, en? shrined amid the grandest and most picturesque features of Alpine seen ery and Is. of course, the tourist center par excellence of the "Playground of Europe," three main lines of railway converging on the famous town beside the lake. Nor could nature, indeed, have well done more for "Lovely Lu? cerne," as all the world acclaims It (declares a writer In London Sketch?

From the Rigl some fourteen lakes are visible on a clear day. among them Sempacb. by the shores of which waa fought the famous battle where the Swiss won heir freedom. Naming a Yacht. The naming of a book Is no holiday task, and authors particularly proud of a title are tolerably sure to discover that It ha* been already used. But the naming of a yacht 1* almost a greater perplexity. Plaglariam may In this case result in practical confusion car? rying the most awkward consequences, and not all titles to which, iu aearch of variety, recourae has already been had are satisfactory from all points of view. Not long ago. for instance, a very grave British cabinet minister, perhaps wishing for once to be spright? ly, called hi* yacht Flirt. He had not conauUed his family, who were, how? ever, quite sure, he thought, to delight in his outburst of gayety. However, his daughters naturally remarked how very disagreeable It would be to go ashore with that label around their bate. Where Ears Grow Sharp A French halloonlat has recorded the clearness with which sound* coming from the surface of the ground can be heard at a high altitude. At the height of B.OOO feet the ringing of horses' hoofs on a bard road waa clearly audible. At 4.000 feet the splashing Hound made by ducks In a pond was heard. The barking of dogs and the crowing of cocks could be beard at seven or eight thousand feet. These sounds penetrated through a white floor of cloud that hid the earth from aigbt. saya Harper's Weekly. In the perfect silence of the air the In? vestigator was startled by what seem? ed stealthy footsteps close at hand. It was ascertained that this noise was cauaed by the stretching of the ropes and the yielding of the silk as the bal? loon continued to expand. A Synonym. "Being a printer.
