Such fierce earnivorous fishes as ex.
ist in the depths of the ocean are un-
known At the surface There is the
''black swalicwer," which devours
other fnny creatures ten times as big
as itself, literally climbing over It's
victim, first with one jaw and then
with the other. Another species Is
nearly all mouth, and, having no
power of locomotion, 1t lies buried in
the soft ooze At the bottom, its head
along protruding, ready to engulf any
prey that may wander into its cavern
Ous jaws. There is a ferocious kind Of
shark, resembling a huge eel. All O.
these monsters are as black as ink.
Some Of them are perfectly blind. while
others have enormous goggling eyes.

dark. unfathomed caves in which they
dwell Each species is gobbled by the
species next bigger, for there is no
vegetable life to feed on.

is TO be removed from the old Polk home
stead in Nashville, Tenn. to the capitol

his will directed that the Polk place

changed hands it should go to the most

A TOLERATION MEETING.

The congress of religions at the worlds
most unique and most influential in its
results in certain directions. perhaps. of
any of the congresses held this summer
The mere fact that Jew and gentle,
catholic and protestant, Hindoo and
Greek could meet under one roof and
discuss religion is much gained. even if
the results of that NEE ting seem to be
somewhat vague. 1t isn't always the
meeting which shows immediate results
that is the most beneficial.
What the world has needed is toler-
world that hasn't something in it bene-
fetal to humanity. There isn't a creed
that isn't elevating and productive of
good TO man. 1t is only the narrow ap-
plication of these creeds that consti-
tutes the dogmatic religion and creates
the lack of liberation. The moderation
of the past has caused bloodshed, heart
aches. arrangements and political
enmity. The fact that these represent
atives of the most diverse religions could
meet under one roof and mingle in dis
cussion is enough to mark the dawnIng
OF better day.
Those who look beneath the surface
will not agree with the idea that be-
cause the discussion of the merits of
different creeds was ruled out of any
debate which might arise the benefits
of the meeting were lost. 1t means
much that the representatives would
meet at all. Too much must not be ex-
pected at first. and this was the first
time in the history of the world that
such a meeting has occurred. Could
it be reasonably expected that there
could be an impartial discussion of the
merits of diverse creeds? Human
nature. even in religious discussion, Is
much the same the world over and there
is every reason to think that had such a
discussion been undertaken there would
have been breakup Of the congress
with no benefit at all. Minsling and

A Musical Dog.

A wonderful story of a French musical
critic is related by persons who profess to
have been acquainted with him and to
nave seen him in attendance on musical
performances. He was a dog. and his
name in public was Parade. Whether he
had different name at home was never
known. At the beginning of the French
revolution he went every day to the mill
tary parade in front of the Tuileries pal
ace. He marched with the musicians,
halted with them, listened knowingly to
their performances, and after the parade
disappeared to return promptly at pa
rade time the next day.
Gradually the musicians became at
tached to this devoted listener. They
nCmed him parade. and one or another of
them always invited him to dinner. He
accepted the invitations and was a pleas
ant guest 1t was discovered that after
dinner he always attended the theater.
where he seated himself calmly in a cor
ner Of the orchestra and listened critic
ally to the music.
If a new piece was Played he noticed it
instantly and paid the strictest attention.
If the piece had fine, melodious passages
he showed his JOY to the best of his dog
gish ability, but if the piece was ordinary
and undressing he yawned, stared about
the theater and Enthusiastically expressed
his diSapprOval.
