suuid of this kind weighs about 10000
pounds and has eyes as large as the
biggest dinner plate; in fact, has the
largest eyes of any known animal.
This huge mollusk is represented only
by small bottled species related to it.
When the moon is full the little
suuids of the common sort are apt to
be found stranded in great numbers,
and fishermen on the New England
coast collect them for bait. They have
a habit of staring at the light, swim
ming backward as they do so. This
results in their running upon the shore
opposite to the moon. Having got
aground they rarely get off again. be
cause they Immediately begin to pump
water out of the siphons which are
their locomotive apparatus thus driv-
ing themselves further up on the land.
There are many kinds of rays in
the jars of alcohol. A fish of this or
der is one of the most dangerous mon
sters of the deep. Measuring thirty
feet from tip to tip of its mighty
"Wings," it is enormously powerful,
and sometimes runs away with small
vessels, getting fouled in the anchor
lines. If attacked, it will not hesitate
to assail a boat. Stories are told of
it's swapping such small craft by ex-
tending n of it's great wings out of
water and dragging crew and bark
under the sea with a flap of the giant
fin. Accounts are given of it's attack

open jaws to gobble him up.

Preserving Eggs for Long Periods.
Numerous methods for preserving
eggs are in use. The idea of all of
this it to keep air out of the egg, as
by such absence of oxygen decay can
be arrested for a considerable length
of time, especially if the eggs are per
fectly fresh at the start and are kept
in a cool dark place. The standard
method, most used by spectators and
dealers. is to put the eggs in m wa
ter. The process is as follows, this
recipe having been widely sold at So
under pledge of secrecy:
Take twenty-four gallons of water,
twelve pounds of unslaked lime and
four pounds of salt, or in that proper
ton according to the quantity of eggs
to be preserved. Stir several times
daily and then let stand until the
LIQUOR has settled and is perfectly
clear. Draw or carefully dip off the
|, clear liquid, leaving the sediment at
the bottom. Take for the above
amount of liquid five unces each of
baking soda, cream of tartar, salt
peter and bOraX and an ounce of alum.
Pulverize and mix these and dissolve
in one gallon of boiling water and add
TO the mixture about twenty gallons
of pure limewater. This will about
fill a cider barrel. Put the eggs in
carefully sc as not to crack any Of
the shells, letting the water always
stand an inch above the eggs, which
can be lone by placing a barrel head
a little smaller upon them and weight
ing it. This amount of liquid will pre-
serve 80 dozen eggs. 1t is not neces-
sary to wait to get a full barrel OF
smaller package of eggs. but they can
he put in at any time that they can
be obtained fresh. The same liquid
should be used only once.

the scaly freaks. Here for example,
is the candlefish of Alaska, which is
so fat that the Esquimaux use it dried
for a candle, fixing it for h purpose
in a forked stick. In that other bot
tie is one of natures imitations-the
batfish-which is made to resemble a
piece of coral 10 artistically that it is
difficult to detect the cheat unless the
creature moves When it does move
it seems to walk on four legs, which
are in reality fins.
Another freak exhibited in an aqua
rum at the fish commission station is
the swe]lfsh. 1t has yellow stripes
from head to tail, which make it look
as if it were covered with fancy silk.
When pursued by an enemy in its ma
tive element it takes a big breath of
air that swells it up like a balloon,
and it goes skimming along or the top
of the waves before the wind.
The Smithsonian institution has a
cast of u giant squid made of papier-
mache and so beautifully painted as
to look like life. 1t is fifty feet long,
but the original was a small specimen.
This monstrous mollusk, more dreaded
in Eastern seas than any shark, at
tains a total length of $50 feet, having
two ~tentacles 100 feet long.
In the Indian ocean the fishermen
will sometimes see a monstrous Great
ure, with enormous goggling eyes, rise
out of the depths and fling across his
boat a gigantic tentacle, armed with
scores of powerful suckers. For such
an adventure the fisherman has al
ways ready a keen knife with which

In their tails-a catfish and an eel. The
electricity developed by these Great
ures is merely transformed v
energy.
The Smithsonian institution would
be glad to get some swordfish eggs
and to pay a big price for them. None
has ever been seen. 1t is not known
where this creature lays it's eggs, but
probably it spawns in the deep sea.
The funniest thing about the swOrdtish
is that it goes crazy sometimes. 1t is
on such occasions hat it attacks YES
sells, and in many instances it has
been known to pierce the sides of
wooden ships, %thrusting it's sword
through the copper sheathing and sew
eral inches of plank. Prof. Richard
Over once said, giving testimony in
court on this subject:
"At full speed the swordfsh strikes
with the force of fifteen sl~edge-ham-
mers swung with both hands. Its We
locity is equal to that of a swivel shot,
and the shock is as dangerous in its
effects as that of a heavy artillery pro-
jectile."
There are all sorts of cells in the bot
ties. The breeding of cells is another
mystery. Nobody eve saw any of
their eggs. The ancients used to have
a notion that cells were developed
from horse hairs. Another theory was
that they were the progeny of a kind
of beetle. 1t is not known that they
must spawn in the ocean.
The Smithsonian collection includes
several kinds OF fishes that build
nests. One of these is the paradise
fish of Japan. When the female is
about to lay the male makes a nest at
the surface of the water composed e
tirely of air bubbles. For this pur-
pose he swallows air and elects it in
the shape of bubbles, which are held
and made permanent by glutinous
capsules from a secretion in the mouth
of the fish. Thus a mass of them is
got together.
The female would devour her eggs
Immediately if permitted, but the male
will not let her do so. He takes them
in his mouth and going beneath the
nest, elects them, when they rise and
find a resting place amOug the bub
bles. He guards the nest until some
time after the eggs are Matched, max
ing fresh bubbles to take the place OF
those which burst. These interesting
fishes can be purchased from almost
any fancier, and they breed readily il
the aquarium.
The common fresh water sticklebacl
is a nest builder. The male construct
the nest of vegetable fibre, inclosinl
the eggs Of the female, and binds the

Jackson Two Notable Specimens.
The history of tie Scotch-lrish in
America Is unfamiliar even in out
line to some otherwise well-informed
people, says the New York World.
No one can know American history,
however, without knowing what the
Scotch-Irish are and what they stand
for. They were among the first to
cross the mountains into Kentucky,
Ohio, Indiana, and other states of the
old northwest territory presented to
the union by Virginia. They led the
advance to the Pacific, and in politics
as in pioneering they have known how
to push to the front and stay there.
Their stronghold has always beer in
the south. At first it was i'll the Vir-
ginia uplands and in North Carolina.
Then it was transferred to Kentucky
and Tennessee, where they had their
strongest development. The men OF
this strain are apt to be radical. II
they are religious at all they are al
most sure to be Puritans. If %fippancy
were not unbecoming in so serious a
connection it might be said of them
as of Longfellow's little girl-that
"when they are good they are very,
very good. and when they are bad they
! are hOrrid." When Andrew Jackson
bet on horse races, attended cock
fights and fought duels he represented
one extreme of the character, as
| Stonewall Jackson did the other when
he said a prayer before every act In
his life. and put off until Monday the
reading of his sweetheart's letters
which reached him on "the Lords
Day" Perhaps there could be no bet
ter illustration of what the Scotch
Irishman means when raised to his
| highest power than is afforded by the
two Jacksons. The Sc~otch-Irish OF
America are a breed that always has
in it the possibilities of greatness
But if you know one of the family

enemies of God and the human
race.

Our Share of Happiness.

Each human being from the mo-
ment consciousness awakens until
the day of his death, feels instinct
lively that he has a right to happiness.
When he is young he confidently ex-
poets it. Further along in life he be-
gins to have a baffied feeling that he
has somehow missed it. Later this
feeling sinks into a settled despair of
ever getting it, or else into a furious
protest against fate, that he of all
human beings vas appointed to lose
his inheritance.
But when we T. young we are ig-
norant of the fact, and when we get
older we perhaps forget it, that hap
piness is a spiritual quality and to be
obtained only according to spiritual
laws. We cannot purchase happiness
with money, as we may buy a yard
of cloth or an estate. We cannot take
it by force from another, as we may
steal his coat. Nor can we gain 1t by
wheedling or cheating another man
out of his rightful share, expecting to
make it Il own.
For happiness is but the delicate
perfume arising from the sum total
of all human delights. Each mans
share of it is the same, and can never
be greater than any other mans share.
AS it cannot be bought,s so it cannot be
paid for. But those who refuse to
add to the general stock of happiness,
while expecting still to claim their
share, will find themselves outwitte6
by nature. Their inner senses become
dull, and then closed entirely. They
become incapable of perceiving happi
ness. They never obtain it not be
cause it is not there, but because
they no longer see that it is there!
