Kangaroos in the United States
J ust like puma and panthers being spotted in Australia and Europe, kangaroos have also been seen not within their original habitat. Kangaroos have often been seen in the United States since the Mid 1960s. A man had reported a kangaroo on his porch early one morning in Chicago on October 18, 1974. Patrolmen Byrne and Ciagi were astonished to find a 5-foot kangaroo in a dark alley around 3:30 a.m. Not knowing what else to do, Byrne tried to handcuff it. The animal was not going to go quietly as it started to scream, then Ciagi was kicked in the shins and the kangaroo escaped down the street.
That was not the only sighting in Illinois. A couple of weeks later on November 2, in Plano, Illinois, two separate groups of witnesses reported seeing a kangaroo almost at the exact time. Within another couple of weeks, sightings have occurred in Lansing, Illinois, and Rensselaer and Carmel, Indiana.
Then on November 15, back in Chicago, a kangaroo was seen in a vacant lot. The witness said it was 5-feet tall and black all over, except for the stomach and face, which were brown. The last known sighting took place on November 25 in Sheridan, Indiana, when a farmer, Donald Johnson, spotted a kangaroo on a deserted rural road. Johnson stated.It was running on all four feet down the middle of the road. When it noticed Johnson, it leaped over a barbwire fence and into the field.
In Wisconsin, 1978, a photograph was taken of a kangaroo. The picture was admittedly not very good, but clear enough to make out the creature. The kangaroo was first spotted in Waukesha on April 5, 1978. On April 24, there were other sightings at Pewaukee Township, Brookfield Township, and around Waukesha. Near Menomeonee Falls, two men had taken two pictures of a kangaroo and it was said that this creature could possibly have been an escapee from a private animal collections or zoo, living wild.
Out-of-place animals, such as kangaroos, are rarely captured and they seem to disappear as mysteriously as they appear. It seems only few citizens see them and it is usually from a distance. However, in May of 1979, a kangaroo seen in Nashua, New Hampshire was caught and found to be a wallaby (an Australian marsupial similar to a kangaroo, but smaller) that had escaped from a carnival that had recently left town.
Other sightings of kangaroos, outside of their habitat, were also seen in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Ontario, Canada; around Morange-Silverange in France, and on the northern border of Hungary. How did it happen? Its not known yet.

Desert Song
A t first sight a sandy beach on the rocky and desolate Isle of Eigg, off the west coast of Scotland, appears to be like any other. But nothing could be further from the truth. When these white sands are walked on or are touched, they produce a musical sound.
In fact, the sands sing, and not just on one note. When slowly sifted through the fingers, the sands emit musical tones that can range from high soprano to low bass.
The singing sands, their Gaelic name is c amas s giotaig, are a mystery that has frequently been investigated. Scientists believe that the music arises from the structure of the sands.
They are made up of tiny grains of the mineral quartz, which the sea has ground to a rounded shape. Each grain is surrounded by a minute pocket of air; the friction between
the grain and the air sets off a vibration that creates the musical note.
The note varies according to the amount of moisture in the atmosphere and the amount of pressure being applied. No dust or foreign matter can be present, however; in experiments in the laboratory, even a minute pinch of flour halts the vibrations.
The mystery of why the sands sing seems to have been
solved. But why the sands should be found on this remote Scottish island is a question to which there is still no satisfactory answer.

The Unusual Story of
Arthur Furguson
R etired Glasgow-born actor Arthur Furguson was a terrific salesperson. However, like many other such people, he was unaware of his talent until one inspiring day when the perfect opportunity presented itself to him. His moment happened in Trafalgar Square, one bright and sunny morning in 1923. The source of his revelation was a rich American from I owa, who he found staring reverently at Nelsons Column.
Furguson decided to appoint himself as the official guide to the Square. Speaking to the American, he explained that the statue atop the column was of Admiral Lord Nelson, one of Britains most famous seafarers and naval heroes. He had died during the Battle of Trafalgar, after which the square was named. Such a terrible shame, he sighed. The square wouldnt feel the same without it. However, it all had to go, lions and fountains included. Britains debts were sky-high, and the government had decided to sell off the landmark to the highest bidder.
