Ex-Judge Cothran is reported as hav'

effect that under Judge Simonton's recent
ruling, the individual who imports q
large number of bottles or jugs, etc., in
single box or crate, has the right to dis
pose of these bottles or jugs to different
individuals as original packages. 1t will
be remembered, however, that as to the

Mower is of Conservative affiliation but
has never been considered by either fac

assembly, and if he enters the race, the
probability is that he will prove himself
to be no mean antagonist.

ALARGE DEVIL FISH,
Brought from Bermuda for the New
YORK AQUARIUM.


Some time ago biological cXpedi-
ton was sent to Bermuda to obtain rare
specimens of fish for the New York
aquarium. The other day the first
consignment arrived. The chief at
traction is an octopus, or devil fish,
the only one in this country.
The captive octopus is young as
yet, but ugly as any older one could be.
Its short, pudgy body is Of a whitish
color, and about the size Of a cocoa
nut. The tentacles are a foot in
length. The fish was placed in one
of the balcony tanks. 1t is accus-
toned to deep water, and to make that
of its present habitation denscr a
quantity of Turks island salt was put
into the tank.
Thirty-fve different specimens
were in the lot. They were accom-
panied by Mr.. f. Laycock, a mem
Der of the expedition. The fish were
shipped in nine large tanks, which
were carried on the deck Of the 0rino-
co. The tanks were fitted with a
special contrivance so arranged as 10
permit of a constant flow of water.
The fish are of as many colors,
shapes and sizes as they arc of sorts.
There were fat-bellied trunk fish and
spiny-looking specimens from The
deep called hedgehog fish by their
captors. Peculiar in appearance as
any is one known as the four-eycd
fish. AS a matter of fact, it is
equipped with only the ordinary num-
Der of eyes, but it is marked on each
side of. the body near the tail with
small, black spot, circled by yellow
rim, and looking exactly like an eye.
In the consignment were ~ claw
less and notified members of the
crustacean family, which look
somewhat Ike Holsters, but which
would be more properly classcd with
the crayfsh. There were also thump-
crs, green, blue and gold OF color;
kinds, snappers, rockfish and SPUR
rel fish, the latter taking its name
from the resemblance of its eyes to
those of the squirrel.
One of the queerest fish Of the lot
is known as the yellow grunt. It's
sides are yellow, shading into olive
green. The head and body are marked
by a brilliant blue line. The fish
emits a sound like the grunt of pig. |
Several surgeon fish were in the
consignment. These brought their
lancets with them, fin as sharp as |
razor, which is worn near the tail and |
which may be depressed or extended |
at will Two kinds of coney fish, one
in gay polka-dot costume and the
other in garb like that worn by con-
viets, were in the consignment.-Cin-
cinnati Commercial Tribune.

! delicate task, for the bones split easily
| and, ordinarily, when once split they are

In the workrooms where the more del

sight is so odd that one really forgets its
grewsomenese. Here an anatomist is
engaged in putting together the various
bones which go to make UP the hand.

that matter that the London skeleton
factory is an offshoot of parent sstab-
lishment in Paris which has existed for
nearly a century. l also learned that a
similar institution was in full operation
in New York, and that both places were
as busy as they could possibly be filling
the orders. This is perhaps accounted
for by the statement to me by well-post-
ed men that ten thousand skeletons a
year are needed to supply the demand.
Personally, I think this is an exaggera-
ton. but the demand is certainly very
great.
