A Submarine Monster
The Seattle (Washington) lress

The Seattle (Washington) ftess
Times contains the. following:
A singular marine monster that ;;
now attracting unusual attention as
'What is it?" is to be seen at the Den
yer Market. 1t was caught in the
northern waters of Queen Charlotte
Sound, and the scientists and others
yersed in such matters who have seen
it are unable to classify it among
aquatic specimens, though q conchy-
biologist would probably find it to be
sui generis; but whatever its scien-
tifc place may be, it is deeply interest
ing to examine this rare and myster-
sous monster of an unknown species
and age that so seldom leaves its sub
marine regions as to come within the
reach of man. Its length is fully six
feet and at a distance presents more
the appearance Of a gigantic eel OF
snake than fish. It is dark brown in
color and wedge shape in form, taper
ing gradually from the head to the
tail which is fat and evidently very
muscular. The head is short and mar
row, with widening jaws on the bull
dog order. It has long, sharp teeth,
or tusss, in the upper and lower front
jaw, evidently used to tear with, and
behind these, triple rows Of molars. OF
grinders, fixed, not on the sides of the
Jaws, but in the middle of the upper
and lower jaws, indicating that the
thing evidently lived on shell fish and
crunched shell and all between these
powerful looking molars.
It was caught by an Indian on g hal
ibut hook and made such a vicious
fight that it broke the sides of the
canoe before the frightened Indian
succeeded in hammering it to death.
The oldest of the Indian fishermen
.ould give no idea of the nature of the
fish, and none like it had ever been
seen or heard of by any of them and
it's capture aroused their superstitious
nature, and many were firm in the be-
lief that submarine god had been
sacrificed which would forever act as
hoodoo on their future fishing opera
tious.
The present specimen will be sent
to some Eastern museum.

It is reported that Car Nicholas II.
intends to remove the press censorship
that has made it impossible for Russian
newspapers to exist, or for foreign cor
respondents to make the truth concern
ing Russian affairs known to the world.
We shall believe this when 1t Is done,
not before. That the result Of freedom
Of the press in Russia would mean con-
stitutional government Is certain. That
the Gar has made up his mind against
such concession Is proved by his dec
laration that he will maintain the au-
tocracy. So far the persecution Of the
Jews and Stundists continues, and ex-
pectations Of radical changes still re.
main expectations.

Cent Pieces in the South.

A year or so ago when the average
Savannahian found himself in posses
sion of copper cent he felt tempted
to flip the little coin into the gutter as
q nuisance. Cents were unpopular; no
body wanted them; even a newsboy
or O bootblack disdained to waste time
in waiting for a cent In change. But
things are different oow. The little
copper coin cuts quite a figure in the
city's circulation, and 1t is as much re-
spected as the more pretenttous nickel.
Hardly a person fishes up handful Of
change in which there is not a plentiful
sprinkling Of bronze color. The re-
duced street car fares and the edd cent
prices in some Of the leading stores
have brought about the change. And
it is probably good thing. People
have come to understand the value Of
a cent better than they ever did before.

Guy Fawkes seems destined to I'm
mortality through the profound conser-
vatism of the English people. Dis
patches from London say that when the
fourth session Of the thirteenth parlia-
ment Of Queen Victoria opened at q
o'clock the Lord Chamberlain, Lord
Darlington, accompanied by ten yeo-
men and a number Of policemen, made
the customary Guy Fawkes search Of
the vaults Of the houses Of parliament
in order to see that no preparations had
been made to blow up the buildings.
James I. has slept with his ancestors
these many seasons. 1t was early in his
reign the Guy Fawkes plot was engas-
ed in. For more than 200 years upon
the assembling of any parliament the
first business has been that which is
gone through to-day as carefully as it
was when Guy Fawkes' performance
was fresh in the public mind. Conser-
vatism is a great potency In the English
mind, leading at times to absurdities.
1t remained for q curious Yankee to
abolish custom for which nobody
could give an account. Visiting Lon
don, he saw some Of the Horse guards
at particular place every day regular
ly relieved, and observing no partcu-
lar reason for their presence he pushed
his inquiries for Information to the
headquarters Of the army. The Horse
guards were unable to say why this
guard was kept but concluded to ascer-
tain wherein the origin was, and found
that some treasure was ordered to be
guarded at this particular point In the
reign Of Charles II. and the Horse
guards had been sending soldiers to
The same spot ever since. Even when
the New Zealander will have taken his
place upon a broken arch Of London
bridge to sketch the ruins Of st. PauPs
he will observe few dingy officials
looking through the ruins Of Westmins-
