...operate the country's railways. The public was an apt pupil. The New York Central Railway was so pleased to get its business back into its own hands that it engaged Mr. Logan to continue the good work, to write its advertising. The General Electric Co., the Anaconda Copper Co., the International Mercantile Marine, the Radio Corp. of America, and many another vast concern speedily sought Mr. Logan's services.

A pattern of shot felled a yellow-headed vulture, which had swooped upon a spectacled owl, which had clenched (and been hugged dead by) an anaconda, which had bolted a basha (torpedo-shaped fish), which had snapped up a pok-poke (smoky jungle frog), in whose food canal lived an opalina (irridescent protozoan covered with hairlike flagella).
