patients. The effect of the tea cigarette,
while stimulating to the brain and it's
flow of thoughts, acts as a pure sedative

after effects are bad if they have not been

FIVE TON DEVIL FISH.
Monster Cast Ashore That Could Reach
Over Space 200 Feet in Diameter.

The body of colossal octopus has been
found cast ashore on the beach about u
miles south of St. Augustine, Fla. 1t
had evidently been dead some days and
was much mutilated. Its head was
nearly destroyed and only the slumps of
two arm were visible. 1t gigantic pro-
portiunsuege, however, astounding.
The body as it lies somewhat embedded
in the sand is IS feet long and about
seven feet wide, while it rises 3 IL feet
boye the sand. This indicates that
when living It's diameter must have been
at least 1-2 feet.
The weight OF the body and head would
have been at least four or five tons. Ii
the eight arms held the proportions US
ually seen in smaller species OF the
octopus they would have been at least 70
to 100 fest in length ana ABOUT ID inches
in diameter at the base.
DR.. Webb of st. Augustine examined
the creature the next day after 1t Was
cast ashore. Examination of the SAND
disclosed portion of one OF the arms
So feet in length and 10 inches in dame

this was less than One-halc Oh the arln,
for they taper gradually to point.
This form of the body and its propor,,
lions show that lit is an eight armed
cuttlefsh, or octopus, and not a glanG
t0-armed squid like the devil fishes OF
other regions.
No such gigantic octopus has been
heretofore discovered.
The newfoundland devil fishes are all
gigantic squius, with an elongated body
tapering to point at the tail end, where
there ars two fins. The body may be- ~
to 10 feet long and three or four feet IN
diameter III the middle. They have ~
long arms of which two are much longer
and more slender than the rest and may
be 40 or 90 feet long.
Up to the present time, however, no
authentic instance OF Il gigantic octopus
has occurred. The largest octopus that
has been known is the common California
species, which is often sold as food in
the San Francisco markets. This kind
is said to sometimes weigh 30 pounds or
more, and to have five arms over III feet
long. But even if of that size the body
would not be more than 20 inches lin
length and less than foot in diameter.
The octopus. just found on the coast OF
Florida is therefore, quite unlike any
thing that had been previously discov-
cred, and far exceeds in size any of the
devil fishes hitherto reported. In fact
it goes far toward justifying some of the
ancient legends of the Scandinavian
krakep.-New York Herald.
