Those conce.Ned In their pretended
learning are called ''pedants": and the
great schoolman, Duns ScOtus, has
given us the word Ounce, as q re-
minder of the vanity and worthless
ness of his impractical knowledge. The
word 'Tyrant" at first meant simply an
absolute ruler and was applied as well
to wise and liberal rulers as to despots.
Wizard" meant u wise man until wise
men so frequently turned out to be
charlatans that the designation ac-
quircd a suspicious significance.

"lndolence" originally signit,ed merely
a condition OF freedom from pain or
excitement: now Ii means laziness,
truly censurable habit. To be care

to be free from anxiety. not culpably

To "cenSure' was once merely to eX-

persons now seem to think that to
"crlticize" involves the duty of picking

the back would be something like .
flattened dome in outline. The under
side of the fish Is milk white; the back
is of gray and white, thickly peppered
with very small black or dark brown
spots. overlaid at irregular intervals
with larger patches CT brown. A strip
along the lower sides of the fish Is at
yellow, crossed by marks of black or
dark brown. A conspicuous feature of
the puffer is It's eyes, which are bright
blue, with yellow rims.
The colors and markings above de-
scribed may change, for the puffer, like
many other fishes, can change its colors
to suit it's surroundings. The yellow
stripes along the lower sides may
change to very pale pink, and then to
gray, and then fade away entirely; and
as the fish lies upon the gravel the
larger brown patches may grow lighter
or merge with the smaller spots, which
grow paler and grayer also, until the
whole back of the fish is SO like the sur
rounding gravel in color that six feet
away it's presence would not be discov-
cred. And the puffer can further hide

with It's fins, up over it's back, covering
itself so completely as to leave only its
eyes exposed.
The puffer distends itself by taking
In air or water through the mouth into
the abdominal cavity; it puffs itself up,
and very quickly, into almost the
shape of globe. This is another pro.
vision of nature to help the fish to esq
cape its enemies. Pursued by larger
fish of prey, it makes itself SO big that
It's pursuer can't swallow it. But if
the pursuer should be a fish big enough
to take In the puffer, even when dis
tended, the puffer suddenly expels the
air or water from itself and slips out
of its capturers mouth If it can. Often
when attacked and driven to the sur
face the puffer initiates itself there and
floats along, moved by current or by
the wind for considerable distance
on top of the water. The pursuing fish
is, perhaps, disturbed by seeing it's In

it doesn't like to hunt so near the SUR

pursuit, and then the puffer collapses
and swims away.
