An Artist Fooled.

Irving Montagu writes in "Wander-
ings Of War Artist:' "One evening |
met two very fascinating Spanish girls
in quiet quarter of Irun, one of whom,
being blonde, was enveloped in white
mantilla. 1t being customary on meet
ing white mantilla to extend her some
what similar homage to that paid to
royalty, raised my hat, and stepped on
one side to allow the couple to pass,
when, in doing SO, saw to my horror,
by the light of the moon, that they were
followed closely by grim and grotesque
reptile, half lizard, half frog, which
with series of spasmodic bounds, was
making directly for their heels. Oh, the
horrid beast, the indescribable mon

on the uncanny thing was the work of a
moment.

heroism, far from, inducing the gratitude

roars Of laughter, the merry ring of
which reverberated on the still night
air. 'Unconscionable fool does not ex-

the Basque equivalent for the old English

How Shells Are Classified.
ISan francisco Chronicle.l

LSan FRANCISCO NuIOulcle'l
5neIis, as we popularity call them, are
grouped by naturalists under the head
of mollusks, and in the scale of life they
represent the sixth great branch of the
animal kingdom, following tine worms,
though some naturalists classify them
differently. The branch is divided into
classes. First we have the shells with
two valves, as the oyster, which is a
Lamellibranch, long word referring to
the folds in the animal.
Some Of these have siphons and some
have not. Then we come to the single
shelled mollusks, or gasteropods, 80
called because they are belly footed.
Then there are the shell-less forms, the
air breathing mollusks, as snails, and
finally the squids, or cephalopods, or
head footed, all of which have their pc
culiarities, and are well worth special
study if the reader is interested in shells.
The oysters are the lowest forms of the
group. the humblest yet the most valu-
able. A "blue point in deep shell
represents vast industry and q deli

be severe, but as a rule he made his SUI
