STUDYING SHARKS NERVES.
An Interesting investigations Going On
in Baltimore.

The geological department of the
Johns Hopkins university is conduct
ing several interesting Investigations
upon sea cucumber eggs and upon the
nervous system of the shark. The in
vestigators are Prof. G.. l.. Houser IF
the university of Iowa and r. p.
Cowles of Leland Stanford university,
California, who are undergoing the
course for the Doctors degree.
Professor Houser is professor of
animal morphology at the university of
Iowa, but he has been granted a leave
of absence of year in order to study
at the Johns Hopkins. Speaking Of
his work, Professor Houser said:
THE nervous system of the shark
is of particular interest. because it is a
simply organized animal and one Of
the lowest of veterbrates 1t is a very
graceful animal in swimming, as every
one knows, and this is a result of its
peculiar nervous system Another
interesting fact is chat the shark is
rather intelligent-much more so than
the bony ashland the mental pro-

structure of the nervous organization. -
Sea cucumbers belong to the family
of the star-fish and sea-urchin. and are
peculiar animals, varying from an
eighth of an inch to ten or twelve
inches. They derive their names from
the likeness of their shape to that of
cucumber, their usual form being cyl.
indrical, with corrugations upon the
surface. Those at the Johns Hopkins
which Mr.. Cowles is investigating are
of the smaller species and were OBJ
tanned on the coast of California.
They are from quarter of an inch TO
a half in length, by a quarter of on
inch in diameter. and are prettily
colored in brown and white, and have
a bunch of tentacles at one end which
are used for feeding.
With the species which Mr.. Cowles
is studying the female broods the
young-that is. lays the eggs and lies
upon them until they are hatche1
In other species the eggs float upon

SHE SHOT A CHUTE.
And Landed On the Neck of an limo

James B. Stone, a wellknown Oma-
ha citizen. lies at the Presbyterian
hospital in that city with a dislocated
neck. Miss Addie Tangney, young
Omaha girl, is responsible for his con-
dition. Stone happened to be passing
the mouth of the chute at the mo-

the great mountains of scrap paper

gathered from the newspaper offices,
printing offices and news stands. But
the greatest surprise of all remained
for her when she found herself hurt
ling down a stepless flight of stairs
and playing mcgee with a man to
whom she had never been introduced.
1t all happened so quickly that no
one seems to know exactly what set
the train of circumstances in motion.
This much, however, can be sworn to
by at least a score of witnesses:
Miss Tangney was told to stand at
the mouth of the chute and throw into
its hungry craw armfuls of waste pa

Twenty boys and girls looked lust in

The Clearer Self.

Before me grew the human soul,
And after am dead and gone,
Through grades of effort and control
The marvellous work shall still
go on.
Each mortal in his little span
Hath only lived, if he have shown
What greatness there can be in man
Above the measured and the known.
How through the ancient layers OF
night,
In gradual victory secure,
Grows ever with increasing light
The energy serene and pure.
The soul that from a monstrous past,
From age to age, from hour TO hour,
Feels upward to some height at last
OF unimagined grace and power.
Though yet the sacred fire be dull,
In folds of thwarting matter furled,
Ere death be night, while life is full,
o master spirit of the world.
Grant me to know, to seek, to ind,
In some small measure though it be.
Emerging from the waste and blind,
The clearer self, the grander me!
