of an eagle or hawk. This beak is Of
bone and very hard. When extended
the jaws reach about sixteen inches,
and are provided with double rows of
teeth. The body, which is eighteen
inches in length, exclusive of the beak,
which is five inches long, is covered
with a tough skin, studded with short,
heavy horns. Near the center of the
body are the eyes-two green, blazing
specks. The fish also has a tail some
thing like that of beaver. The tail
is provided with a keel
The fish has eight arms, each about
five feet in length. Each arm is fitted
with tiny teeth, set in many cup-shaped
cavities. Unlike the octopus, or dew
ilfish, the Tillamook monsters arms
are not provided with suckers. The
teeth, doubtless, answer the same pur-
pose. The arms project four on each
side of the body. At the end of each
arm is a toothed mouth. The arms
can be drawn nearly the whole length
into the body. They are, perhaps, one
and one-half inches in diameter.

A Dogs Glass Eve.

John WINNER, an Indianapolis opti-
clan, owns full-blooded pug dog, ken
mel bred, 8 years old, fat and asth-
matte, with pedigree dating back
to the past century, which he claims
to be the only dog in the country wear
ing glass eye. Twelve months ago
his eye was torn out by another dog,
and after the wound had healed VIM
mer adjusted glass eye to the cavity.
Both eyes are now of the same shade
and expression. The dog, known as
Spex, suffers the eye to be taken out
for cleansing purposes, but he is never
contenteJ until it is replaced and he
raises cid Ned if there is an attempt
to deprive him Of it, even for one night.
Spex has a number of accomplishments
among which is that of smoking a,
pipe When given a pipe he assumes
six different attitudes, representing
young smoker beginning in a high state
and ending in utter detection and

Bull Against Rhinoceros.

When | was on the Zulu frontier
said a traveller recently, l stopped for
a week with a native, splendid fell
low, who had a fine farm. Among
other animals he had young bull
called Hulo which he and his children
fondly believed could vanquish any
beast on earth. Hulo was a great pet
and not in the least vicious, so 1 was
surprised on the second evening of my
stay to see Hulo shifting the air and
paving the ground in evident rage.
was about to ask what it meant when
out OF the forest came an ugly rhi-
noceros My host and l hurried for
our guns and Hulo dashed at the beast
with dauntless courage. A rush, a
crash and the bull was hurled twenty
feet. Fortunately the horn Of his enc
my had not caught him and the first
rush had taught him lesson. His
horns were like sharp swords, but the
hide of the rhinoceros is remarkably
thick and the young bull soon showed
signs of fatigue. So he resorted to
strategy and lodged behind his clumsy
foe, giving him vicious stabs in the
thighs. This. was rapidly weakening
the rhinoceros, and just at this time we
found some steel bullets. leaden bullets
having no effect on this animal, and
quickly completed the work Hulo be-
gan. Then the bull stood on the car
cass and beloved his joy.

A Marine "What-Is.Ity"

Of all the strange fishes or animals
or snakes Of the sea, the strangest

ago, says an Astoria dispatch. The
fish, if it can be termed fish, is the
only one of it's kind ever seen in the
and probably on the coast.
1t was found dying on the beach, hav-
ing been washed up by the recent
heavy storm. The cause Of its death
was not apparent from any wounds
on the body. Its death struggles at
tracted the attention of man walking
along the beach, and. he was thunder
struck to discover the cause of the
commotion.
The fish is not unlike the octopus in
general appearance, although it differs
materially in the long arms. The body
is the exact counterpart of an inter-
collegiate football, though much larg-
er. The strangest part OF this fish is
the mouth. Unlike anything in the
fish line ever heard OF, the mouth,
which takes up nearly one-half of the
body, is provided with beak, like that

Six Miles of Elk.

Wyoming's game warden is credited
with the statement that the number of
elk wintering in the Jackson Hole
country is greater than for many pre-
vious years. A conservative estimate
likes the number at 80, 600. They are on
every hill and in every valley, and
the nights sounds are most piteous
from the crying Of the calves lost from
their mothers. Every morning thous-
ands are seen travelling from the. great
swamps along the Snake river to the
Gros Ventre hills. The game warden
says: II recently gazed upon a sight
which far surpasses anything l had
ever seen, and it utterly astonished
and amazed me. For distance of six
miles a herd of elk was stretched out.
The animals had made a trail through
the snow which was packed as hard as
ainted ice. l know there were Is, 900
head of elk in that band."-From

The Dogs Made Too Much Noise.

Col. Burr of Virginia was a mighty
fox hunter and loved the sport beyond
words. He owned a fine pack of
hounds, and during the season thought
of nothing but his hunters, his dogs
and the weather. He was once enter
tanning an old army friend from Texas
whose ideas of hunting any animal in
volved the use of firearms, and who
had never seen a foXhOund He had
been with difficulty persuaded to go
forth one morning with the Colonel
and some friends to a meet, and they
were waiting impatiently for the
hounds to take the scent. Presently
there burst upon their listening ears
the din of thirty canine voices in full
cry. The Colonels eyes cleaned, and
as he settled his feet in the stirrups
and stretched his arm toward the yelp-
ing pack he cried: Major, listen to
that heavenly musicw The Major
pricked up his ears for a second or
two and then replied, 81 can't hear a
thing. Those - dogs are making
such a noise" The Colonel put his
spur savagely into his horses side and
dashed away, leaving his guest to his
own devices.

Tasmania's Zebra-Wolf.

A singular creature is The Tasmania
zebra wolf. 1t is not related to either
zebra. wolf or tiger, but belongs to
the same family as the kangaroo the
Wombat and the opOssum-thOse ami
mails which have pouches wherein to
carry their young. But the animal is
striped like the zebra, and is as raw
enous and fierce in its nature as wolf
or tiger. He is the most formidable
marsupial of the more than sixty va
rieties, and is the largest and most
dreaded of all the mammals in Aus
tralasia. The zebra wolf has a dog
like face, a VOLTS short and erect ears.
eyes like an owl, stripes like a zebra
and pouch like a kangaroo. He is a
night prowler. The light of day blinds
him as it blinds an owl, and, when
pressed by hunger, he emerges during
the daytime from his lair, his move
ments are slow and he is easily slain
The csas, which are large, are fur
nished with nictating membrane.
This is almost continually moving in
the day time, as the pupils are exposed
to the light The general color of the
short, woolly fur is grayish brown, in
cilued 20 yellowish. Across the ground
color the black bands show UP sharp
and clear. These stripes are usually
fourteen in number, beginning just
back of the shoulders, where they are
narrowest, and growing broader and
skins are in demand for laprobes and
rugs. 1t is not unlikely that in the
course of a few years the zebra wolf
will have become entirely extermin-
ated.
