THE ANGLER FISH.
1t Secures Its Prey Like an Artist, With
Regular Strategy.

1t Secures Its Prey Like an Artist, With
Regular Strategy.
There is n fish that secures it's prey
like an artist, with regular strategy,
and, strange to relate, nature has fur
nished it with Il full equipment for the
purpose, rod, line and bait The an
gler, as it is called, is by no means
beauty. 1t is about Il yard long and
has huge, toadlike head, an enor-
nous, gaping mouth and formidable
array of teeth. The first dorsal, or back
fin. is almost wholly wanting. its place
being occupied by two or three long
Slender, movable spiics which are fas-
tened to tho body by means of joints.
One is attached by n hinge, which per-
mits of only backward and forward mo-
ton.
The first spine is connected by reg
ular ring and staple and admits of
movement in all directions, as it is pull
ed this way or that by the muscles.
This is the anglers pole, which contin-
ues into Il fine flament or line, and at
the end there is loose, shining slip of
membrane, which plays the part Of a
bait.
Tho angler fish is IA slow swimmer, and
it would have but little success if it had
to chase the swift, active fishes upon
which it feeds, SO it SHARES them. Par
TALLY hiding itself in the mud or sand,
it waves its long filaments with their
glitteriDg tips. Asis we'll known, fishes
are attracted by glistening objects
moved about in the water. The neigh
boring fishes, following the Instincts of
their inquisitivc nature, come to exam
inc the curious object, and suddenly
they find themselves snapped up in the
wide jaws of their hidden foe.
The angler is very voracious crea-
turc and on several occasions it has
been known to seize Il fish that had been
hooked and was being drawn to the
surface. In one such case tho angler
seized Il Goldfish and would not loosen
its grip until it was struck on the head
with Il boathook. On another occasion
the fish fell victim to its own glut-
tony, for having dashed at Il conger eel
that had just been hooked, and having
taken it into its mouth, tho eel con-
trivcd to escape through one of the gill
apcrtures, and thus it was the uncon-
scious means of involving its captor in
its own fate.
Even tho cork floats on lines and nets
have been swallowed by tho greedy
fish, and when taken in Il net it de-
yours its fellow prisoners with perfect
uncOncern. Mary NJ. Friend in Phila-
delphia Times.

A species of woodpecker inhabits the
driest parts of Mexico, where during
the droughts it must die Of starvation
unless it made store. To prevent this
1t selects tho hollow stem Of q species of
aloe, the bore of which is just large
enough to hold nut. The woodpecker
drills holes at interval in the stem, and
fills it from bottom to top with the
nuts, the separate holes being apparent
ly made for convenience of access to the
column of nuts within.
The intelligence which not only con-
structs special storehouse, but teaches
the woodpecker to lay by only the nuts,
which will keep, and not the insects,
which would decay, is perhaps the high
est form of bird reasoning which has
yet been observed. -London Spectator.

n Stag Stcnm Generator.

A Stag steam generator, for utilizing
tho waste heat contained in the furnace
Stag for the production of steam for mo-
tive power purposes has been designed
by an Australian inventor. The ma
chine consists of Il steel shell in the
form of strong egg ended receiver,
having fiattened faces on tho top and
bottom, and through these fiat portions
number of Galloway tubes arranged
in two rows and tapercd from inches
at the top to 10 inches at the bottom
are passed, secured to the she'll by
fanges. The lower or larger end of each
tube is closed by means of a cast iron
door manipulated by means of con-
venient lever, and the upper end of each
tube is provided with funnel for con-
veying the Stag into the tubes, u pair OF
iron rails also passing across the upper
face of the boiler and all the tunnels,
thus serving as a track for the Stag
pots. At each end of the boiler bin
is provided, into which the skin of the
Stag is dumped, which always sets OH
the cast iron pots from which it is pour
ed, and this redhot material lying
against the ends of the boiler plates
serves to conserve the heat New York

Pigott has done what he could for them by voting for the Wilson bin. He and Mir. Wilson would have done much more for them If they could.
 Does anybody in this district think that Mir Sperry would vote to tax the deposits in savings banks in order to carry out theory? Does anybody In this district think that he would vote to help foreign countries at the ex- pense of his own? Not much. He isn't made that way. Mir. sperry believes as Abraham Lincoln did. who thought he knew enough to know that when an American paid twenty dollars for steel to an English manufacturer Amer lea had the steel and England had the twenty dollars. But when he paid twenty dollars for the steel to an American manufacturer America had both the steel and the twenty dollars.

Dr. NTaher's Visit.


 From the Baltimore Sun the following dispatch Is copied as of interest to the many friends of Dr. Maher in this city, his old home.
 Washington. Oct. 20.-Rev. Dr. Will liam Maher, pastor of St. Mary's Cath olic church, Milford. Conn.,, has been a guest for few days at the papal lega- ton in this city. His host is Monsg- nor Sharretti, in the absence of Archbishop Satolli, the papal ablegate, who is in Canada. Dr. Maher was a favorite pupil of the archbishop when the latter taught at the Propaganda college in Rome. eight years ago. On a recent vist of the ablegate to New England Rev. Dr. Maher gave recep- tion at Milford in his honor. Dr. Maher attended the celebration of the golden jubilee of Rev. P. P. Denis, president emeritus of St. Charles up to that date. Dr. Maher is considered one of the brightest of the younger priests in the country. During his stay in Washing ton he will visit the Catholic and Georgetown universities.
