PIPE-FISH'S QUEER NEST.
Deposits Her Eggs in Pouch A tia ched

Deposits Her Eggsin Pouch tia ched to
the Male Eish's Body.
Did you ever see a dried or preserved
specimen of the creature which the fish
sharps call the ''pipefshW 1t doesn't
look any more like fish than it does like
a cylinder of macaroni, and not nearly
as much, providing it has been preserved
in the dry state in place of being picked
in alcohol or some other preservat ton.
The female fish lays but few eggs each
season, and each of these is deposited in
a nest hidden more carefully than was
ever the nest of bird. On each side of
the males body there is a curious little
pouch we'll hidden by the folds of the
skin and carefully covered over by q
membraneOus flap. In this living nest
the female deposits her eggs, and there
they stay until they are Matched and
the young pipes become large enough
to forage for themselves.
The sea horses, the bony caricature of
'man's best FRIEND belong to this same
family or group of deep-sea denizens
and their nesting habits are somewhat
different. In this case the male has but
a single incubating pouch, and it is stu
ated directly beneath the many-jointed
tail Twenty-four hours after the little
sea horses (sea colts) emerge from the
leathery envelope of the egg they are
sufficiently grown to leave the nest and
strike out to do for themselves.-St
Louis RepMblic.

CUT A WHALE IN TWO.
The Steamship Amrum's Striking Expe-
rience Off HatteraS.

rience Off Hatteras.
The little German steamship Amrum,
from Mexico, laden with hemp, arrived
here yesterday with a fish story slowed
away in her forecastle that almost
brought her down by the head.
The Amrum is three-masted steamer
of $50 tons and is engaged in the hemp
carrying trade between this port and
Progreso, Mex. She sailed from that
port on December /. When just north
east of Hatteras on December s the
man on the lookout reported a school
there was a great number of them in
sight, gamboling and spouting.
Suddenly the vessel stopped in her
course and took great list to port.
She trembled in every beam, and then,
with q great heave, her nose shot up in
the air and then came down with a
plunge.
From the sides of the Amrum rose a
cloud, not Of spray, but of blood 1t
made slippery the decks and rigging of
the vessel and covered the watch with a
crimson mantle.
The crew looked like butchers and the
Amrum like a slaughter house.
There was a panic, the first impress
sion being that the steamer had struck
a rock.
When the crew had recovered them
selves somewhat, one of them called at
tention to the mangled carcass Of a
, whale floating astern, and almost cut
, in two.
The ship left a trail of crimson in her
wake. The Prov of the Amrum was

monster were literally spattered over her
fore rigging.

of calling on a minister's family often,
and sometimes the calls heightened into
visits which were very wearisome. One

ously at work. Some hours afterward,
when his wife summoned him to lunch,
he called down stairs: "AIl right-and
