THEY TUMBLE UPWARD.
Deep Sea Fish Face Danger Unknown

Deep sea Fish Face Danger Unknown
to Other Living Things.
1t is only reasonable to suppose
that the ability to sustain an enor-
nous pressure can only be acquired
by animals after generations of grad
ual migrations from shallow water.
says writer in the Popular Science
Monthly. Those forms that are
brought up by the dredge from the
depth OF the ocean are usually killed
and distorted by the enormous and
rapid uiminution of pressure in their
journey to the surface, and it is eX-
tremely probable that shallow water
forms would be similarly killed and
crushed out of shape were they sud-
denly plunged into very deep water.
The fish that live at these enormous
depths are, in consequence of the
enormous pressure, liable to Curl
Gus form of accident II. in chasing
their prey or for any other reason,
they rise to Il considerable distance
above the floor of the ocean, the
gases OF their swimming bladder be-
come considerably expanded and
their specific gravity very greatly
reduced. Up to certain limit the
muscles Of their bodies can counter
act the tendency to float upward and
enable the fish to regain their proper
sphere of life at the bottom; but be-
You'd that limit the muscles are not
strong enough TO drive the body
downward, and the fish, becoming
more and more distended as it goes,
is gradually killed on it's long in
voluntary journey to the surface OF
the sea. The 2eep sea fish, then,
are exposed to a danger that no other
animals ir the world are subject to
namely, that OF tumbling upward.
THAI such accidents do occasionally
occur is evidenced by the fact thai
some fish, which are now known tc
be deep sea forms, were discovered
dead and floating on the surface o
the ocean long before our modern
Investigations were commenced.

A Sad Picture.

The next time you are IN a melancholy
mood, as you are almost certain to be il
you become bilious or dyspeptic, picture to
yourself the condition of poor man Who
without resources and with family on
his hands, finds himself on a sick bed
Gloom obscures his narrow horizon in every
direction. Unable to do any work, with
out means or friends capable of assisting
him, with the possible prospect of contin-
ued ill health; with rent perhaps unpaid
and unpayable, the outlook for him is
gloomy indeed. How shortsighted, then,
is the man of humble means who percelv-
ing that his health and strength are failing
takes no precaution to avert the oncoming
evil. HoStetter's Stomach Btters is a re-
liable, professionally recommended restor-
alive of health and vigor, and sure means
of preventing the many disabling com
plants which exposure, overwork, neglect
and insufficient food produce. Malaria
rheumatism, kidney and liver complaint,
dyspepsia and nervous disease always yield
to it.

Gus or recherche. They were six in

spotted capacity, but came in handy
! during the war dance at the evening
| performance. The show was drawing
| full houses, and the cards informing
the public of the educational nature
of the collection always drew the
members of the ladies' schools in such
large numbers that it was found nee
essary to change part of the collec-
ton of horrors" into kings and
| queens to please the scholastic tastes
of these patrons.
The tent was pitched near the end
of town-the town of Galilee, one of
| those wild California places where all
| is one vast wilderness of innocence.
| Never had Daniel in his den, which
was the chief moving tableaux. worked
/ to better advantage; and the lions re-
| sponded to the cloclIwork as if it had
| just been placed inside them. The
Tichborne Claimant-and what a lot
| of wax that figure absorbed, to be
sure!-was an object of much atten-
i ton, and with the working-class audi
ence was almost as popular as Daniel.
But all this is neither here nor
there. The troupe had been at Cali

supper after the close of the exhibit

| mean the tattooed man (whose appe-
tite was not affected by his singular
marking), myself Henry Jameson,
the sole propric tori, Mrs. Jameson and
Miss Ethel Jane Jameson, our only
child. Well, we were sitting out in
front of the wagons-for it was sum

and onions, when suddenly | noticed
form approaching in the dim twi-
light. 1t was that of "a young man.
When he stepped out into the glow
of the lamp he stood hesitating, APP
parently wondering whether or not
he should advance any further, and |
could see in the faint light of the
lamp that he was not the most hand
some or intellectual young man in the
world. His forehead came bullying
out under his hat, and his eyes were
large and watery, and there was a
vacant look in his face. Still he
seemed harmless, so | beckoned to
him and said:
Good evening, sir. What can we
do for you?"
Before he could answer my wife
broke in:
why, that's the young man who
has been in every time the tent was
open to-day, and wanted to know if
he could havn season ticket"
BY that time he had come closer,
and. smelling the supper, he said:
There, I'm disturbing you; but if
YOU please. will the wax works be
opened up to-night?'
The tattooed man who had been Ell
c0rcd frequently toward the end of
the evening looked savage at the
thought. but winlled at him to say
nothing. Then | said to the young
man:
We'll. as the tattOoed man and
Daniel and the lions are sleepy, and

The bravest man under the sun is the one
who has the courage to say no to the devil
when he offers him the whole earth.
There isn't much sense in residing bad
books and praying to God to make you
pure minded.

generally are not.
The man who serves the devil will soon
find out that he has to do so at his own
expense.
To believe is to be strong. Doubt cramps
energy. Belief is power.-F. W. Robertson.
