...back to his Partner Henry Hurrell, now 78, by muleback, canoe and raft. Once a hostile Indian tribe led him into virgin orchid territory after he had cured a sick child with a dose of patent cough medicine. Another time, looking closely into a new orchid, he met the stare of a deadly little red coral snake. Once he camped on a little island in the great Orinoco River, his orchids all boxed on their rafts for the trip home. Flood, freshets boomed down the river, lifted Lager, rafts and orchids and set them on land 400 mi. downstream. Since...
...representing a cross-section of the University, chose such a dilapidated and absolutely worthless hat as rests upon its plush cushion in Boston as the Master Hat of Harvard, the result of a recent publicity stunt of a local humorous publication?

Promising to take care of Dolores Morris, the Allens took Edgar G. Allen...
...Then he hangs it on the wall or ceiling, classifies and labels it with the aid of pamphlets issued by Washington's University and State College. Mostly from the Middle West come some 30,000 visitors a year to brave a temperature of 10° above zero, stare at the fish. Retaining live form and color in their ice blocks, the fish stare back with more than living fishiness. Seattle pays almost nothing to maintain the exhibit, charges no admission. The collection ranges from a shrimp to an 831-lb. sea lion. Some are common denizens of the Puget...
