A Battle With One of These Repulsive Marine Monsters - Devilfish grow to great size in the Pacific ocean, and most uncanny are some of the stories told of them, The keeper of the Avalon zoological station says of an adventure he himself had: “I was fishing at the time with several partners out of San San Trancisco. Trancisco. It It was was our our custom custom i to go out to the banks around the ! Farallonea.and try place, for deep sea fish, j It was a rough ... nearly . always blowing half a gale, foggy and dan I gcrous, and often we had to let our lines go and run in to lie in the Ice the rocks. One morning I was I hauling in the trawl when it stop pud coming. I thought I was foul of a rock, so I pulled hard, and after , i awhile I felt it give and begin to come up, but very heavy. It’s slow work hauling in a trawl, taking off a fish and killing sharks that get hooked, and it was some time he fore I got what I supposed was about a i rock. I had just taken a turn ’ a rowlock with the line to rest when | it great sagged, mottled and, looking ball, out over, of which 1 saw j ! 11 shot long that took hold of a arm the gunwale and held on. I “We often caught devilfish, and : there was a demand for them in the i market, so I tried to pull it up. But | I another arm came up, as big us my own, while another crept over the near my partner, who started 1 I U P> shouting that it was coming aboard. I looked over and saw a great red, mottled mass hanging to ' tho ,)ottoni of t,ic 1>oat - Then I reached for a knife—a kind of cleaver—my partner doing the same. The devilfish was caught tried by seVCTtt ] 0 f ^j ie trawl hooks and t( > fas<f ' n io t,1C h ° >lt to F ct rid ° f them. Its arms shot out of the wa ter like fingers, and when I saw one the size of my arm and grow ing bigger near the base f didn’t wait, but slashed at them right and left, cutting them on the rail. “Some of the tentacles near the body looked as big around feeler) as my leg, and the whole arm, or was j nearly twice as long as a man. The I arms were probably twelve feet long and the body two or three times the size of a man's head. The whole mass was so big that we were glad to chop it to pieces punch as it it came aboard and then to nwav from the boat with oars to get rid of it. It was too heavy to take aboard, especially in a seaway.” Off the Beaten Track.

It continually ut ters in soft, rapid tones a peculiar note resembling “hoop, hoop, hoop,” whence its name hoopoe. It is really a harmless, useful bird, | but it is the subject of many super etitions, etitions, being being regarded regarded as as ominous of evil. It is about the size of a thrush, is very elegant in ance and is greatly admired of its handsome crown or This crown is composed of gold col ored feature of unequal j having a white bar and black | which it can expand and depress j pleasure. According to pretty legend, the t j a j hoopoe received its crown as a j ward for a kindly service. One very J hot day, the story runs, King Solo j mon was journeying from one part, | of his vast domain to another, lie j had no covering over his bead, and j the sun’s scorching rays became un bearable. At length he came up with a flock of vultures and said to them: “Vultures, do me a kindness. I’lv very close together above my head and shield me from the sun for a time as I journey.” refused outright to The vultures thus favor the king, and he then said to them: . '“Vultures, because of your selfish ness your heads and necks and the heads and necks of all your descend ants shall from this time to the end of time be bare of feathers, and thus you will be exposed to both heat and cold.” Solomon went a little ^ farther and overtook a flock of hoopoes, and thtlS ‘ l,!<jrCSScd thcm: “Little hoopoes, my head aches from having been exposed to the sun’s fierce rays for several hours, Won’t you hover above my head in a body to shield me from the end sun of and fly along with me to the my journey?” consented, The hoopoes readily und so they hovered almve the head, dovetailed themselves togeth er and made an admirable sun shield. Thus they flew along until the end of the journey was reached, and then the king said to them: “Little hoopoes, what favor may I confer upon you for your great kindness to me?” One hoopoe, acting as a spokes man for the others, answered: “If you wish to favor us, O King Solomon, ornament our necks with a circlet of beautiful golden feath ers.” “Would you not rather have heads ornamented with a beautiful golden crown?” the king asked. “Much rather, much rather!” ex claimed the hoopoes in chorus. “Then,” said King Solomon, “your heads and tin* heads of all your descendants shall to the end of time be ornamented with a crown of golden feathers that shall ever be remarkable for its beautv.” - 1 - Why l-lo Hesitated.

How Native Australians Mount Tress In Pursuit of Game. One of the old customs of the na tires of Australia is described by j the author of “The Coming of the j British to Australia.” It is one of their methods of hunting when in , j search of food and is practiced only | by " the Australian aborigines, j The _____. natives ... catch the opossum, , kangaroo rat, flying squirrel the other animals which live in j trunks of hollow trees by cutting notches in the trees and j after them. Most of these animals, i being nocturnal, sleep during the 1 day and therefore become an easy | prey to the hunter, who can tell by i the freshness of the scratches on | the stem of the tree when the ani ma l ascended it. j What expert climbers the aborig jnes are may he guessed by the height of the trees, the blue gum, j measuring sometimes over sixty feet in one smooth shaft. Unslinging his stone hatchet from his belt, the native to climb the tree, cutting notches as he ascends. The first and second notches arc cut as he stands on the ground, the first notch being level with the thigh on the left hand, the second opposite the right shoulder. The two cuts are made with the hatchet, J j to form each notch, one slanting, the other horizontal. Into these : the big toe of each foot is inserted. j while the climber, stretching hie j arm around the tree, makes the as cent" to the uppermost outlet, where he waits until the rest of his party have set fire to the dried grass or reeds which till the lower part of the trunk. Then the animal in its endeavor to escape from the smoke rushes up the hollow trunk through the hole at the top, to he promptly killed by the native watching for him. While the climber is cutting the notches he rests his whole weight j on the toe, and in moving he holds the hatchet between his teeth. j The hatchets used before the coining of the white men were of stone, but afterward steel ones took their places. — Nosebleed.

There were 10,000 persons present, and when the last half of the ninth inning be gan the score was tied. Kelly, who was the first, man at the bat, turned to the crowded grand stand before taking his plate and shouted: Jfg “Open all over!” the gates Kel and guyed go home! was un mercifully, but he merely laughed aa fi cracked out a safe hit.

It Poses as a Modern Oracle In the British Museum. Can an Egyptian mummy render first class service as an oracle ? Can tbe spirit of the dead return and answer yes or no to the questions of the faithful ? Some people in London believe these things are pos¬ sible, right and the they British have the mummy in museum to prove it. A writer in the London Mai 1 tells all about it: “This strange sibyl is the mummy of Katebet, a priestess in the temple Amen-Ra at Thebes. It lies on the top shelf of case P in the first Egyptian room. It is one of the most complete and interesting speei mens. The painted cartoonage head, with its gilded face, is inclined to one side, giving a look of life. On the breast is a hawk headed orna ment containing a scarab, the sacred beetle. On the wooden models of the hands are rings made of carne lian and precious stones, and an tempt had boon made to imitate bracelets by.pointing. The system of swathing is unusual. “In wall case No. 10 stands Kate bet’s painted wooden coffin. It again is singular. On the foot the feet and sandals of the deceased are painted in an unusual manner, and the face is evidently intended for a likeness. The Lady Katebet died in Thebes 2,700 years ago.
