PRETTY BUT DANGEROUS.

G. f. Holder gives an interesting ac-
count of his experience with the ply
salia, the nautilus-l!ke depizen OF
southern waters, which Heats on the
surface with its trailing fishing lines
extending far below. The balloon, or
float, is from two 10 five on SIX inches
in length; a delicate sack fiped with
air, and tinted with many beautiful
hues, among which purple, pearl and
pink predominant. One end is elon-
gated like a finger, ard along the dor
sal surface extends a ru7le which can be
raised at will, and becomes perfect
sail, richly tinted in red, yellow, pink
and silver. When the animal is at rest
the membrane is furled, at other times
it is raised two or three inches, and
catching the wind, drags the tentacles
at an angle of forty degrees to the sur
face of the water. These are purple,
hair-like objects, which look very beau
tiful, as, crinkled and curly, they drift
through the water. But woe to the I'M
fortunate fish which, attracted by their
bright appearance, touches them. He is
instantly enclosed by the tentacles and
stung to death with thousand darts.
The tentacles are covered with minute
bombs, resembling an elongated cap
sule, in the interior of which is the
dart, a thread with branching points on

But this is not the entire armament
of the physalia. The coiled dart OF
lasso floats in liquid poison of great
power, of the effect Of which Mr.. HOl-
der speaks from personal experience
He was swimming N five feet of water
when he passed over the tentacles of a
large physaIia. The sensation, as the
purple threads wound around the abdo-
men and thigh was Of molten metal be
ing thrown upon the flesh, and the
shock was so great that he had to be
assisted from the water They tried
vainly to rub off the blue mass with
cloths, and then with knives, and final
ly razor was used. The flesh was
raised as in a burn, The mass of darts

case became alarming, and a fatal ter
mination might have resulted had aid
not been at hand. One singular symp-
tom of the shock was an obstinate asth-
matte condition, which made breathing

AWHEEL IN SIBERIA.
The Village Boys Had Never Before Seen
a Bicycle

During a bicycle journey through ST.
IBERIA one summer 1 had occasion to travel
several hundred miles along what is called
the Great Siberian highway. You will
see by glancing at the map that this road
connects the Siberian capital, Irkutsk,
with European Russia. The distance is
some three thousand miles and along its
Icourse have been built nearly all thetowna
and villages of old Siberia.
Through these towns and villages | made
my daily runs, and usually with a ciamof
ing multitude of shouting boys and yelp-
ing dogs as my escort; for a bicycle was
as yet a novelty in that part of the world,
and in some of the more remote districts
even a thing unknown. | remember, on
entering certain village just at dusk,
when the streets were quite deserted,
came suddenly upon two village boys
walking in the street. They did not see
me until [ flashed abruptly past them.
They threw up their hands in bewilder-
ment and shrieked out, "Ohort eediottr'

post station, ordered a frugal supper and

In the meantime the news of the

through the village, and the POSTCARD was
soon swarming with village boys poster

peep at the marvellous devils carriage

on, but he did not exactly know how it
was propelled.

BY the way, the man that does the
most work in a basket ball game is
always the official. Whether the game
is a creditable or disgraeeful contest,
whether it is clean played or full of
dirty tactics rests with him. The old
story about giving an inch holds with
basket ball players, and as soon as they
see that the official is winking at slug
ging then it begins aid people get dis
gusted On the other hand basket
ball crowd especially in the towns, is
always rabidly partisan. 1t does not
like to see fouls called on its own play
ers and does not hesitate to hiss the
official in consequence. However, when
the game is over, they see wherein the
referee was in the right. That is why
men like Dadmun are so much in de-
mand as officials. Dadmun's popular
ity was web attested a. Hudson for he
received almost as much applause as
any of the players wien ne came upon
the floor. Dadman never caters for the
crowd. his only desire apparently being
to keep the game clean, but at the same
time fast BY so loing he wins in the
end.

Problems for Lumber Carriers.

In all probability a meeting of the
owners of lumber carrying vessels
of the lakes will be called sometime
during the winter and some pretty
knotty problems discussed, al
though the matter of forming an as
ISOLATION to control freights is, of
course, doubtful in view OF past ex-
perience. One OF the points on
which the lumber carriers are de,
termined to secure redress is in
what they term. the abuse OF the
transfer privilege. Under existing
conditions boats are frequently re-
quired to go to six or eight different
docks to receive their full cargo, and
an effort will be made to establish a
a rule requiring extra payment for
more than two transfers. The
owners who talked some time ago of
having the cargoes of lumber vessels
loaded and unloaded by the crew
have about abandoned that idea, as
the lumber dealers have pointed out
to them that an attempt to adopt
any policy would result in a strug-
gle with the lumber showers union
that would certainly be OF long
duration. The question OF rates
will, of course, come up at any
meeting that may be held during
the winter. An interesting in
fluence in the consideration OF this
question is the evident disposition
on the part of many OF the largest
firms to purchase or charter their
own vessels Several have already |
announced that they will take such |
action next year, owing to the diff !
ficulty they have experienced of late
in getting sufficient boats. This /
will prove still more serious prob
lem next year, on account OF the re-
moval to the Atlantic coast of con-
siderable tonnage heretofore en-
gagged in the lumber carrying trade,
with the probability that there will
be still further loss of this class Of |
vessels on account OF more coast
charters next season Marine Re-
