JAWS OF VARIOUS BEASTS.

How Nature Enables the Animal World
to Live and Enjoy Existence.
Jaws are funny things. The croco-
dies lower jaw is not socketed in the
skull, as is the case with other ami
mails, but the skull Is socleted in the
jaw, SO that the animal can lift the
upper part Of its head as upon a hinge,
and so capture whatever prey may be
at hand without going to the trouble
of getting upon its legs. This is
great saving Of exertion to the saurian,
which delights in wooing soft repose
upon the voluptuous and buxom mud
bank. It was Herodotus, the father
of history, who first commented in re-
corded writing upon this surprising
circumstance respecting the crocodile"
So Osteologist Lucas, OF the Smithson-
ian Institution, was saying to Star
writer, and he added: you can Rnd
another example of natures adapta-
ton of the jaw to use in the case of
certain carnivores, like the otter-a big
weasel that has acquired aquatic hab-
its. The jaws of such beasts are SO
fixed in the sockets that dislocation is
impossible. In some instances you
cannot, even after the animal is dead,
separate the jaw from the head This
arrangement is evidently designed to
enable the beast to bite to the greatest
advantage without danger that the
chewing apparatus will come loose.
The elephants jaw, on the other
hand, not being intended for biting
but for grinding vegetable food, is an
appendage almost separate from the
rest of the skull Although enormous
ly heavy it has only small articula-
ton connecting it with the upper skull,
and it's whole weight is carried by the
muscles, in which it may be said to be
slung, SO that it can grind back and
forth. A snakes lower jaw is at
tached to sort of outrigger extending
back from it's skull. Also the two
halves of the jaw are connected by
elastic ligaments, SO that it finds no
difficulty in so stretching it's mouth
sideways and perpendicularly as to be
able to swallow animals much bigger
| than itself. Some deep-sea fishes are
similarly rugged. The human jaw is
| very loosely soczeted in the skull, SO
that it is often dislocated by the mere
act of yawning. Not being intended
for biting purposes, offensive or de-
| fensive, no attention seems to have
been paid by nature to making it fast
While we are speaking on this subject
1 may as well show you this little
stuffed fish, which has no more popular
name than 'autennarius' 1t angles for
smaller fishes with this appendage on
top of its head, which is designed tc
initiate a worm. The autennarius
keeps it's imitation worm wriggling just
above its mouth, and when victim
comes within reach it is gobbled
promptly, the jaw of the angler being
set vertically instead of horizontally, sc
that it can receive the game by simply
opening at the top, a gentle suction as
sisting the performance Washingtor

tooth and nail upon the trust, which
was declared too 'vague, shadowy and
indefinite to be executed" and the Din
gee million, It's roundness now sadly
shrunken, made its way across the
ocean to Mrs. John Winkletip, of Clap
ham Common, London.
She died last year, and with her the
wanderings of the Dingee million came
to an end. She willed it to trustees
for building and maintaining hospital
for stray dogs and homeless cats, and
those learned in the Law say that the
trust will stand.

Again AIRS. rimmins caught glimpse
o. the black coach of death in the dust
cloud ahead of her. The race became
every instant more exciting. 1t was a
strange sight and instinctively the
farmers in their returning vegetable
wagons drew aside to let them pass.
Once more the hcarse disappeared In
the dust clouds. This was the last Mrs.
Timmins saw of it until she drew up in
front of the crematorium. There it
stood with its black doors thrown wide
open. She had come too late! Her
fathers body had already been thrust
into the fiery furnace.
The antagonism of Winkletip's family
to his views concerning the cremation
of the dead was an open secret with
every attache of the society, and the
men in charge were determined that
the society should come out the winner.
They were on the lookout for the body.
Everything to the minutest detail was
in readiness. The furnace had been

necessary to procure burial caSket; in
fact it would be a useless expense, any
way; and consequently John Winlkletip
began his last ride on earth lying in the
cool depths of the undertaxer's ice-box.
AS Mrs. Timmins' cab turned into
Washington street she met a hearse,
but not until she had reached the I'M
dertakcr's establishment was her sus-
picion transformed into certainty by
being told that her fathers body was
already on its way to the crematory.
Mrs. Timmins was a long-headed
woman. She knew the uncertainties of
cab transportation through the crowded
streets below Canal, and dismissing her
cab at the Chambers street station of
the Third avenue elevated, she was
soon speeding on her way to the Long
Island city ferry.
This she reached Just as boat was
leaving the slip. Misfortune number
one When she finally reached the
Long Island side, she threw herself into
the carriage nearest at hand, crying
out:
ITO the crcmatory! Five dollars
extra If you get me there in timer
1t was not many minutes before Mrs.
| Timmins became aware of the fact that
the horse was next to worthless and
could scarcely DC dashed into a respeeta-
ble trot. Mrs. Timmins was nearly
frantic Every minute her head was
thrust out of the window to urge the
hacliman to greater s! There was
but one consoling Thought, the hoarse
itself might get blocked or might have
missed boat.
AS again and again her head was
thrust out of the carriage window, her
hair became dishevelled, for she had
removed her hat, and the superstitious
Hibernian on the box was on the point
of abandoning his post at sight of the
wild and cra&cd look presented by Mrs.
Timmins. Was she not some ones ghost
making this wild and mysterious rider
But the promise of an extra Ave dol
lars kept the man on the box.
Suddenly cry of joy escaped Mrs
Timmins' lips. The hearse was just
ahead of them; but it's driver had the
better horses and half suspecting that
something was wrong, he whipped ur
vigorously and disappeared in a CLOUD
of dust. Mrs, Timmins' horse was nov
as wet as If he had been dipped into the
river, and she expected every minute
to see him give ont, but, strange to say
he had warmed up to his work and nov

forming them Of their extraordinary
luck reached the Winkletip Brothers,
they were down in the cellar of the old
tenement which served as their place of
business, with their long jean coats on,
busily engaged in sorting onions. As
the Winkletips were only little past
fifty, and as strong as hickory knots,
their families were quite satisfied to get
only life estate in the Dingee million,
for, barring accidents, the brothers had
twenty-five or thirty years to live yet.
True, Brother John had a son, Cyrus,
who would soon be of age, but he was a
worthless wight, whose normal condi-
ton was alcoholic stupor, barely char
acterizod with sufficient lucidity to en-
able him to distinguish rotten vegetables
from sound.
"IIe will die years before his father"
everyone remarked, land then the gam
blcr's money will go where it ought to

There had been n fire next door to the
Winkletips about the time the good
news had arrived from Paris; a huge
warehouse had burned down leav-
ing n brick wall towering sixty feet
above the old wooden tenement in
which the brothers did business. They
had given notice to the authorities, but
the inspectors had pronounced the wall
perfectly safe. So the two brothers
continued to come and 60, in their best
Sunday clothes, however, for they were
only engaged in settling up their old
business.
Suddenly, without the slightest warn
ing, the huge wall fell with terrific
crash upon the wooden tenement,
crushing it like an egg shell. When the
| two brothers were taken out from the
ruins John was pronounced dead and q
coroncr's permit was given to remove
him to ncighboring undcrtalSer's es-
Establishment. William lived six hours,
conscious to the last and grateful to an
ali-wisc Providence that his worthless
nephew would now be excluded from
any control over the Dingee million.
John WinlSletip was a grass widower,
his wife, an Englishwoman, having
abandoned him and returned to Eng
land, and for many years he had made
his home with his only other child, a
widowed daughter, Mrs. Timmins, who
was openly opposed to many of her
fathers peculiar notions, as she termed
them, one Of which was his strong ad-
vocacy of cremation, he being one OF
the original stockholders and at the
time of his death a director Of the Long
Island Cremation society.
Consequently Mrs. Timmins gave or
ders that Immediately after the cor,
oner's inquest her fathers body should
be removed to her residence in Harlem
but as the officers of the cremation so
ciety held the solemuly executed direc
ton and authorization Of their late
friend and associate to incinerate his
remains, they were advised by the
counsel of their corporation that suef

RECKONING TIME.

How 1t Is Done at the Observatory at
Washington.
The observatory does not reckon it's
time by the sun, but by the so-called
fixed" stars, which are so far off that
their position with relation to the earth
does not change appreciably within a
few months or years. Star time is the
only true time, therefore. The oper-
ator looks through a big telescope and
watches for given star that he knows
to cross the plane Of the meridian. AS
it crosses he records what moment it
does so, as shown by star time clock
with a twenty-four hour dial. Then
he consults a printed table that shows
him at just what number of hourS,
minutes and seconds the star in ques-
ton must actually have crossed the
meridian plane.
The table is right, and by as much as
the star time clock differs from It, the
latter is wrong. No attempt is made to
set the star clock right, allowance be-
ing simply made in subsequent ealcula-
ton for the error thus discovered,
which amounts only to fraction of
second in some days. Next the cor
rectcd time, as taken from the star
clock, is reduced to sun tilAe, which re-
| quires some figuring, inasmuch as the
star year is one day longer than the
sun year. A sun time or standard"
time clock stands close by, and the
amount that this varies from the truth
having been ascertained, allowance is
made for the error in sending the noon
stroke all over the country.
At the observatory all the chronon.
ctcrs made for the navy are tested and
regulated before they are sent ont on
vessels, each one of which is supplied
with three frst-class chronometers, as
we'll as one that is half used up, called
