patronage Of this particular line has

antiquated buggy to the rear axle Of
which WAS fastened q string on

they were the subject Of SO much

a WISE Eisli.

In Java they have u species Of fish
that carries a very useful gun with him
wherever he goes. This queer fish is
called the jaculator and his weapon is a
combination air and water gun, which
nature has provided him with. The jacu-
lator has the power of pickering the
mouth into small, round tube and
squirting water through it. He is such
an expert gunner that when he observes
"a beetle or a fly on q twig above the
water he invariably knocks the in
sect from his perch, even though the
distance be five or six feet. There are
seven other varieties of these water gun
fishes, which are known rs ''sportsmen"
and gunner" on account of their
queer habits.-St. Louis Republic.
