•nt, Tho first, found In Ceylon, ...
shaped and colored like a withered I
leaf. A certain naturalist, Dr. A. |
Willey, describes Ills experience of
this curious fish. He was walking
along the reef with a fisherman, when
the latter attempted to catch a fish
for him. The naturalist could not see
Rt first what. It was. The fish dodged
about, and the fisherman failed to get
It. Seizing the net himself, he Saw
what seemed to he a yellow onk-leaf
gently and Inertly sinking to the bot
tom. Tills being a common occurrence,
he was about to turn away, when the
supposed leaf righted itself, nnd dart
ed off. It was finally secured, and
was found to he one*of those fishes
commonly known as sen-hats. The sec
ond example Is furnished by the very
curious fishes called sea-horses. Many
long, Irregular filaments proceed from
their bodies, and give them a striking
resemblance to hunches of s'-aweed.
When the fish anchors Itself—as It
frequently does—bv the fail to a plant
of seaweed It ms like a part of It,
and Is not easily delected.
ndstorms
buildings
our cities or the forms of streets,
which will repuy careful study. Od
a hot day even, when the air is per
fectly quiet, the atmosphere, as It be
comes heated tends to rise against the
sides of rocks or buildings, and If It
travels far enough will develop in a
strong wind, which descends on the
opposite side nnd plays queer pranks.
A small whirlwind is often produced
by the action of wind against a cor
ner formed by several buildings. As
the wind travels down a street, espe
cially a narrow one, it rapidly in
creases in velocity. A little will spill
Into the side streets, but the main
stream will flow on, gathering mo
mentum.
Watch the wind strike against the
side of a high building and notice
how It mushrooms out on all sides,
splitting into many air currents and
trace these till they come to rest, but
he sure to hold tightly to your hut in
the meantime.—Boys’ Life.
A Successor.
No, Tom Sawyer Is not dead. Or at
least he has a worthy successor in
eight-year-old Joseph McKee, one of
whose duties is to keep the home lawn
clean.
Several of the children In his neigh
borhood had been anxious to have a
Halloween party, and Joseph’s moth
er told him that he might have one.
“You can have them mask and we’ll
have jack-o’-lanterns and witches, and
dance and—” she began.
But Joseph Interrupted her. “Moth
er,” lie spoke earnestly, “I’d rather
have a wiener roast. They can rake
up all the leaves on the lawn and the
trash in the garden and burn them In
a bonfire and roast wieners. They’d
be helping me while they had fun.

"Now 1-l-buik here, my 1-1-lad,” he

Men Who Render the Verdict Said to
Have a Distinct Influence
Over the Counsel.
Juries differ widely. Charles Rus
sell used to say, for Instance, that
there was all the difference in the
world between English and Irish
Juries, remarks the Manchester (Eng.)
Guardian. Irish Juries enjoyed the
fun and the drama of a trial; they
entered Into it all and appreciated the
cut and thrust; whereas English
Juries were concerned more with won
dering how soon they would he re
leased.
But there Is' a characteristic com
mon to all juries. They have quite as
much Influence, though in a different
way, over counsel as counsel have
over them. One of the greatest of
advocates, Scarlett, Lord Ablnger, de
duced that his success was due chiefly
to the rule he mude of selecting one
particular Juryman, not. necessarily the
foreman, and addressing tin* argument
as if to him personally. He would
then work away till ho felt that he
had convinced this man and could re
ly on him when the verdict was being
considered.
Joke Over Food Scarcity.
Food Is still scarce In Hanover, Ger
many. The food .administration of
Klausthal, Harz, announced recently
that herrings were on sale at the mu
nicipal food distributing station and
that the share of each person was one j
half of a herring. That situation was i
reflected In these advertisements in
the Ivlausthaler Anzelger. “Single per- j
son wants a partner to obtain a her
ring. Address ‘Ehrllche Tellung’
(Honest Division), business office of
this paper, and state whether head or
tail part.” “Young blond girl wants
to make the acquaintance of a refined
gentleman as a herring partner. Sub
sequent marriage not excluded. Ad
dress ‘Liebesgott Hering’ (God of Love
Herring), business office of this pa
per.”

"Why did you shake him, Virginia?”
her teacher asked after they were in

“Because if I hadn’t shook him his
teacher would,” she retorted.
The questioning teacher smiled.
“But I can’t see why if lie had to be
fhaken what difference it made wheth
er you or ills teacher did it.”
“I can,” Virginia was positive. “I

A Non-Literary Lady.
Gamaliel Bradford said at a dinner
Is Boston:
“It’s no use complaining about the
quality of American fiction, for this
fiction Is the kind the public wants.
“A novelist told me the other day
that he once toured our city in a ‘See-
tnf Boston’ automobile. The automo
bile rolled through the Back Bay dis
trict, nml the guide pointed out the
ptetely mansions of the aristocracy.
“Then a lady touched Ills arm.
“‘Say, guide,’ she said, 'I’ve heard
M lot about the great Oliver Wendell
homes of Boston. Show us a few,
Will you?’”
African Seeds.
Sixteen hundred or seeds and plants
of African fruits, vegetables, grains
ami flowers not common to iliis coun
try have been sent to the United
States Department of Agriculture for
a test ns to their adaptability to Amer
ican soil as a result of a trip made by
l)r. H. E. Sliantz, ns agricultural ex
plorer. Dr. Slmntz accompanied the
Smithsoniim-African expedition which
made a tour of Interior Africa from
Cape Town to Cairo, penetrating the
Orunge Free State, the Transvaal, the
Kongo, East Africa, the Sudan and
Egypt, with side trips to other parts
of the continent and adjacent islands.
Among the many new crops, one
that is viewed with Interest Is a
gourd two feet long, which contains
two gallons of succulent seed about
the size of an almond. The meat of
these seeds resembles that of the but
ternut in taste, and, in addition to
their possibilities as a nut substitute,
they are rich In oil. Many new kaffir
corns and sorghums, us well as grasses,
suitable for the seiniarid West, us well
ns the pine lands of the South, some
excellent new ntungoes, a number of
oil plants, some dry-land rice, and a
large number of grains and grasses
ore among the specimens. The depart
ment has found that several crops
which flourish in central Africa are
adapted to the southern parts of the
southwestern United States. The
Ameriean-Egyptian cotton and Sudan
grass are among the noteworthy ac
quisitions as a result of previous ex
peditions.
