The Giant Suuid.

1sz Those who have taken it upOn them
selves to Investigate the numerous sea
serpent stories which are related from
time to time have arrived at the almost
basis for all such tales, and that basis
is furnished by the glimpses of the giant
squid. This gigantic denizen of the
deep inhabits all oceans and seas, but
appears to be partial to tropical and sub
tropical waters; at least it is in such
localities that it is most numerously
the giant squid is the octopus or
devil fish, and that it is monstrous
brute, both in size and bodily outline.
A full-grown squid of this species often
weighs from 5000 to 10000 pounds, and
has a body fully fifty feet in length 1t
has, besides it's eight smaller tentaces,
two immense arms, each fully 100 feet
in length, covered from end to end with

great syphon-like tube in the squid's
body, which is discharged rearward. Its
favoritc mode of hunting food seems to
be in Swimming along the ocean surface
always backward. relnember-with its
great tcntacles floating Imply. beneath
around high above the waves. This
habit of skimming the surface with first
one and then the other long arm held
aloft is believed to be the basis for all
the sea serpent stories ever related.
Bad Results of a Surveyors Error.
Philadelphia conveyancers have a rep

years old and which blocked Il sale for
long while. Yet it had been passed by
about forty conveyancers in that time.
1t was an error originally made by city
