A Sharks Peculiarities.

A singular thing about the shark
tribe, and about skates and rays also, is
the number of the gill openings. A
sunfsh, salmon, catfish. founder, or.
any ordinary fish, has one gill opening,
guarded by an ingeniously contrived
bony door, or gill cover, inside which
may be seen the gills, usually five rows.
But all sharks have a gill opening To-
each row of gills and are entirely I'M
provided with a Gill cover D. The.
position of the mouth is another external
popularity that will strike any one who
looks even casually at a shark, belt only
a dogtish eighteen inches long. Ne
mouth can be seen from above. 1t is
not at the end, with gap reaching
along the side of the head, as in cod
or pike. 1t is below; turn the animal
over and it is plainly to be seen-a
broad, more or less curved slit, with
rows of cruel teeth inside. This position
of the mouth is due to the more or less
projecting nose or snout of the shark.
In the hammerheadthe front edge of the
hammer hides the mouth; some other
sharks have pointed snout, while most
OF the skates have quite large triangle
running out ahead of their 9masticatory
organs. Only the peculiarly ugly shark
something between shark and q
skate, known as the angel fish and also
as the monk fish, and the great bat-like
eagle rays-have terminal mouths.
Both of these, like the hammerhead,
inhabit alike the Atlantic and the
Pacific. 3D. Fl. ...l lnl..f......r
Sharks have no true bones. Back
bone, skull, laws and fin-ravs are all
cartilaginous-the bOniest things about
them are their teeth; but the hardest
things, harder than bone, for they are
enamel, are the small tubercles that
stud the skin. In most sharks these are
very small, simply causing the surface
to feel delicately rough, but in some of
the skates spines of considerable size
are scattered among the fine shagreen.
The hammerhead is decidedly not the
most graceful of his tribe. The white
shark and the smaller blue shark may
lay claim to grace of form, but the
hammerhead cannot; yet he is interest
ing from his very strangeness-one out
of many singular forms that inhabit the
vast ocean and are little known even by
sight, save to the fishermen whose ar
duous toll leads them to their haunts
Utterly without fear, blindly ravenous
slaughterers, without sense enough to
be scared, are all the shark tribe They
will snap right and left as long as they
live, and danger from them, if they
are large, is not over when they are
safely landed on the deck of a vessel
Axe and club are needed to keep them
quiet, or they might do mischief ere
they died, for they die hard. -PhilGdel-

three dollars a pound for Angola and
two dollars and half pound for Nj

sold at greatly advanced rates. The

She loved q young man, but she liked to daily.
The young man he loved her, but he came very

And his visits were always under the silver

All her other friends came, but felt weary;
For she made them 80 very, very dreary.
The easy, flowing style of these few lines;
their wealth of expression and the elegant
meter denote more than ordinary poetic

sumo his name is Orlando) first effort, and
he may therefore be pardoned for a little
too much sentiment, but this the girls like,
and it cannot be spread on too thick at
times. Yet we would advise Orlando in
his musings to follow closer after Byron,
and drop the Walt. Whitman and joaquin
Miller style. They scatter too much.
Byron's verses are concentrated and full Of
fire, and a spark from his genius would
kindle a flame in the heart Of any young
lady. Take, for instance, the introduce
tory lines to the "Bride of Abydos'-
Know you the land where the sagebrush and

More commonly grow than the olive and vine
Where horn-toads and Lizards in harmony
dwell,
And waters grow hot as the hinges Of hell.
Let Orlando study poetry like this. and
the divine affiatus will gradually inspire
him, 80 that he may be able not only to in

Allie, but write obituary lines TO express
his grief over the death Of some favorite
