CLANS THAT TRAP PEOPLE.
Some Curious Biva1ves That Live in
the South Pacific Waters.

From abe San Francisco Examiner.
In South Pacific water are found some
of the largest shellish known. One is a
clam-llSe shell, with huge ribs, the tri-
dacna. one-half of which has been known
to weigh $50 pounds. The fish itself
weighed twenty-five or more pounds. and
single fish. if served on the half-shell,
would afford a good meal for fifty per-
sors.
The tridacna has the habit of lying with
its shells partly open, as though to trap
scmc unwary traveller.
Attention was first attracted to this trap
when a party of men were rowing over
the reef in search of rare corals They
saw a large fish beating the surface vio-
lently with les head out OF the water.
AS they drew near they saw that the
fish was a large shark, which had been
caught ir a living trap. Its tail, or the
lower lobe, was held securely by a giant
she'll the trldacna, the strong and power
ful mollusk clinging to IL with n viselilSe
grip.
There is a case on record Of man hav-
ing been entrapped in a similar way. He
was unfamiliar with the reef and its
strange inhabitants. and, seeing what
he supposed to be a great green sea ane-
meme, he attempted to grasp 1t. But the
snemone disappeared and like a wise the
edge Of the shell cramped the wrist OF
the unfortunate collector, who, to his
horror. found himself grpped in a stoop-
ing position by his hand and he had
about determined upon cutting off his
hand to save his life when the she'll
vieiblv relaxed its hold and with a quick
ier4; he pulled out the MANNED and help
less member and quickly got ashore.

Government for high treason Before he

Expectation Sits

London. Feb, 2l.-Thc Morning
Leader says:
The crossing OF the Tugela river was
scarcely opposed but that Is not to say
fierce resistance may not be looked
for before the Onderbrook works are
negotiated.
A high authority agreed yesterday
with the opinion expressed In these
columns that two-thirds or three
fourths of General Whites force will
be available for active operations any
time within week.
I'VE cannot see how an advance
through Natal can be made before
Charleston and Van Reenans pass are
secured. As for the question of Cen
eral Buffers invading the Transvaal
a practical difficulty exists. Our in
formation is that his transport is ut
terly insufficient unless the Beers
oblige him by fighting along the rail-
way.
I'VE look for one fight about Peters
station and then the departure of the
commands of Free Staters for ORA
kensburg and the Transvaalers for
Majuba.
Nothing is doing in North Cape
Colony and the greater part of the
Beers apparently have retired to fight
in their own state.
Expectation sits in the gate to know
the result of the chase after General
Cronje."

JACK TAR,s GRoWL.
A story Illustrating the Sailors
Habit Of Grumbling.

A Story Illustrating the Sailors
Habit Of Grumbling.
The author Of From Edinburgh to
the Antarctic" writing Of the sailors
habit Of grumbling, says: 'The dinners
are all the same-that is to say, Mon
days dinners are all alike, and what
we have today we shall have this day
six months hence. Jacks forefather
this day 100 years ago had the same
menu and made the same uncompli-
mentary remarks about the dishes, and
100 years hence on this day Jacks chill
dren will growl over their salt horse
and plumless duff" The author also
tells this yarn" to illustrate that
Jacks habit Of grumbling can't be
cured and must be endured:
Once upon q time there lived a skip
per whose wife said to him that If she
went to sea the poor men would never
find fault with their food. Her hus-
band took her with him on a voyage,
and the. good woman attended to the
cooking in the galley herself.
The scouse was thick with fresh veg.
etables, the bread was whste and with
out weevils, the meat was good, and
the duff was almost half plums, but
still the men growled.
Then the shippers wife thought of
the hens she had brought on board to
lay eggs for her husbands breakfast.
She took them out Of the coop, wrung
their necks with her own fair hands,
plucked them, roasted them and sent
them to the forecastle on the cabin
china.
Nov the men," she said to herself,
! will know how much we think of their
comfort
At eight bells she stole forward to
the forecastle to listen to the praise of
her skill as cook. She looked down
the hatch and saw a big black fist
plunge fork into the hen and heard q
hoarse voice growl, II say, Bill, what
dye think this ere bloody fowl died
off"

The Neglected voice.

The voice is the most common and al
the same time the most complex Of hu.
man faculties. When we listen to it,
we realize nothing of the many infiu.
ences at work in It's use. Yet it repre-.
sents the character, the mood, the TEN.
permanent and the health Of the individ.
ual when left to run in its own way.
II uncontrolled, it will develop much as
flower garden will develop; the rank
and weedy nature will come to the
front and the tones Of exquisite beau
ty will be obscured. Bad daily habits
in the use of the voice will give It
many disagreeable qualities. If con-
trolled, the voice will keep its weeds in
the background and permit only its
beauties to be known. If cultivated.
the weeds will be taken out and the
flowers developed - ittsburg Press.
