Quiet About the Affair.

A young man walked into DR.. Mil

he wanted his neck fixed. Certainly
his neck needed fixing. His head was

about the injury at all. DR.. Miller
dressed his wound and he went away.
saying he would return to have the
dressing looked after.
The wound was about four inches
long, running from a point just under
the left ear with an upward sweep and
downward again to a point almost I'M
der his right ear. In the middle of
the sweeping cash the bone was ex-
posed. The boy had lost a gallon OF
blood and was weak from the loss Of
it. His light hair was all matted and
Mrs. Miller used almost a barrel of
water in washing out the blood and

wound had been temporarily dressed.

The boy agreed with her in that.

1t has TRANSFERRED that the young
mans name is r. J. Alexandria. He
has been employed by the Markell HI
tel company IN the eating house at
Medicine Bow. He had been there on
IL about three weeks when the affair,
whatever it was. took place. No in,
formation has been given by the young
man on this affair, except that he re.
marked something about having taken
the wrong end of an argument. Medi.
cine Bow is a pretty lively place, in
spots and at intervals, and a blonde
young man who takes the wrong end
OF the argument is running great
danger of losing his head, not merely
fguratively but literally.

The PecnIinr Tnncnn

The most amusing thing about that
peculiar bird the toucan was to see
him preparing to roost, and he began
quite early, while other birds were still
wide awake. The first thing was to
carefully cock up-for it was a slow
and cautious proceeding-his absurd
little scut of a tail, which was only
about three or four inches long. This
must in some way have affected his
balance for he never moved on the
perch after the tail had been laid care
fully back. Then, later in the even
ing, he gently turned the huge, I'M
wieldy bill around by degrees until it,
too, was laid along his back and buried
in feathers in the usual bird fashion.
BY the way, have always wonder
ed how and why the myth arose that
birds sleep with their heads under their
wings. A moments thought or obser-
walton would show that it is quite as
impossible a feat for a bird as for a
human being.
However, the toucan's sleeping ar
rangements resulted in producing an
oval mass of feathers supported ON one
leg, looking as unlike bird as 1t Is
possible to imagine. When he was
ruthlessly awakened by sudden poke
or noise, which, grieve to state, was
often done--in my absence, needless to
say--I heard that he invariably tun-
bled down in a sprawling heap, being
unable to adjust the balance required
by the ponderous bill all in moment

A FiSH-CATcHlNG FISH.
He Has Mouth One-third the Size
of His Body.

of His Body.
Most remarkable of strange fishes is
the angler fish, whose very name seems
a paradox. The fishing fish Is never
theless a reality and stern one to all
that approach those awful jaws of his.
With a body the color Of mud he gem
orally lies in the shadow of some rock
on the bottom of the sea, waiting mo-
tionless for the approach of his prey.
He is provided with an odd kind of fin
just over the mouth, and this is held
out in front of him to give warning Of
the coming of something to be swal-
lowed. One taken alive was expert
mented ON, and 1t was found that If
this projecting fin was touched with a
stick, even though the stick did not
come near the mouth the jaws closed
convulsiyely. This shows that the fin,
by some provision of nature, closes the
jaws as soon as it is touched.
The mouth is tremendous, growing
to the width of foot when the whole
fish is only three feet long. One of
these anglers was caught not long
since, and, though it was only 25 inches
long, fish Is inches long was found
sticking in its throat. The angler is
provided with peculiar teeth set in
double or treble rows along the jaws
and at the entrance of the throat.
Some of these teeth are a foot long.
He is not a pretty fish to look at, but
he attends strictly to business and will
swallow anything that touches his
warning fin, whether it is meant for
food or not.
All kinds of things have been found
in the stomachs of anglers, from bits
of lead and stone to fish almost as large
as the angler itself This is without
doubt one of the most peculiar and in
teresting fish in the whole ocean. st.
