was pressing the claims of a prominent

cerned the necessity of political inAu.

called upon statesmen who had been

them to go to the front. His last ng-

praise.
He knew that Postmaster General
Wilson and Secretary of the Navy Her.

least half score of years; and that
their personal and political relations
we're of the most cordial nature. He
knew that if the postmaster General
could be induced to make an earnest
plea TO the secretary of the navy, his
request would most likely be granted.
Therefore he sought the postmaster
general at the most opportunE time ana
solicited his interest in the case. DS
so doing he clinched his arguments and
appeals and achieved success in his un.
dertaking. You may well believe that
he was proud young man when he was
able to telegraph his paper at Wheel

AT THE AQUARIUM.
why the Sea Raven Did Not Swallow the
Scuipini

Why the Sea Raven Did Not swallow the
scaipin,
1t Is the common habit of fishes, in
swallowing other fishes as food, to swal-
low them head first; the fsh's spines
and fins smooth down toward the tail,
and if the fish were swallowed tail first
the spines and fms would spread out
and catch in the swallower's throat and
choke it, perhaps, to death, as has not
infrequently happened.
In tank at the aquarium is sea
raven IA or IS inches long. Like all
sea ravens, 1t has a big head and an
enormous mouth for fish of its size
In the same tank is sculpin perhaps a
foot long and little slenderer than the
sea raven. The two were lying on the
bottom of the tank the other day, the
sculpin just ahead of the sea raven,
and wagging it's tail idly in the sea
ravens face. Whether the sea raven
was incensed by this or the motion
simply suggested chance for a square
meal without hunting for it, 1t would
be impossible to determine; but the
next time the sculpin's tail came by,
the sea raven detained it, and then it
began to swallow the sculpn tail first.
The sen raven had taken in four-ffths
Of the sculpln, about all but its head.
The sculpin, too, has a great head for
a fish of its size, but the sea raven, with
Its capacious mouth, would have got it
down all right and swallowed the entire
fish but for the short, stout spines that
the sculpin has, one on each side of
its head. These now spread out and
settled in the corner of the sea ravens
jaws. 1t was like spreading a stick
across the mouth Of a pit. 1t was quite
impossible for the sea raven to swallow
the sculpin any further-in fact, its
only desire now was to get rid of it;
and, helping itself little with some
slight wrigglings, the sculpin was soon
free again and swimming about.-N. Y.

The invention of geometry Is at
Eibuted, by some, to the Assyrians of

Greece by Thales, in 600 B. C. The
study was greatly improved by Pythe-
goras and brought to perfection by
Euclid, 300 year d. C. The researches
Of Archimedes were made In the third
century before Christ.
Botany was scientifically discussed by
Aristotle about BAT 3. C. He is ac-
knowledged to be the father Of the
science. Works on botany appeared in
several European languages about the
dose Of the fifteenth century, general
attention being at that time directed to,
ward the study OF this science. The
first encyclopaedia of plants appeared
in 1929.
The first encyclopedias was compiled
by Abulpharagius In the thirteenth CEN

paedia, by Diderot, D'Alembert and
many other noted scientists, was com.
piled between 1881 and 1880. The
