TEE BOTTLE FISH.
IT Has nm Almost Lfmitfess stomach
and N Vornciaus APP
petite.

There is q strange deep-sea fish which
it has puzzled amateur naturalists to
find a name for, but which by some is
called the bottle fish. and by unscien-
! tific observers named the whip tail. In
the Smithsonian institution specimen
of it is labeled ''sacco-pharynx," which
means ''throat sack"
This fish is rare, and when any are
found they are sent to one or another
museum of the world. 1t is not related
to any other and yet there are other
fishes that resemble it. 1t has the same
habits of feeding as the black swallower
they both swallow their prey head
first, and are not particular as to its
size.
The bottle fish has slender, curved
teeth, set wide apart, and its fins are
few and poor. The long filament which
1t carries is continuation of the verte-
brae, In which some fins are lost, accord
ing to some authorities, and to others
that 1t is simply en- attenuated bit of
flesh and skin.
These fishes vary. One that was
caught in 1924 far out in the ocean was
afioat in helpless condition, having
swallowed fish ten inches long. The
body was IA and the tail So inches long.
In 1927 one was discovered in helpless
condition, almost worn out by unavail-
ing efforts george fish of about seven
inches in circumference. This was the
largest ever secured, its body being 20
and the tail 80 inches long.
Still another was taken off Medeira in
1869. twas floating on the surface, and
was found to have swallowed deep.sea
fish about nine inches long, the stomach
of which was forced up into the mouth
by the distended air bladder.
The body of this specimen is sH
inches and the tail 20 inches long. II is
preserved in the British museum.-Phil-
adelphia Press.

DowDY EVENING DRESS.
Chiffon or Lace Tint Are Not
Perfectly Fresh.

OF all unsightly sights the sight of
q woman in dowdyish evening gown
Is the worst. The chief characteristic
of the evening gown should be fresh
ness, for therein lies Its primary
charm. At most fashionable concert
given In town during the week scarcely
ten women wore evening gowns that
were dainty and unrumpled, says the
New York Sun. Most of them had on
dresses that looked as II they might
have been brought out of the ragbag
for the occasion or have been packed
away in q clothesbag all summer. They
were crushed and crumpled, and for the
most part soiled, and many of them
needed a stitch here and there, and some
"a good many. The men in the audience
commented on the frumpy appearance
of the women, as they expressed il.
They were evidently much impressed,
but not in the direction which makes
a woman feel that even if clothes do
not proclaim the man they go long
way toward making the woman.
If woman doesn't happen to have
a fresh, immaculate evening gown in
her wardrobe, and for some reason or
another can't get one to wear on an
occasion when most women appear in
full Dress let her go evening gownless
She will look far better in light street
gown or dark one, and she is sure
always to find plenty of company.
lSoiled satin, crushed chiffon, messy
:mousseline de sole, battered bows, faded
flowers, artificial though they be, and
.rumpled ribbons are not attractive sep
arately or combined. Woman is queer
in this matter of dress; she'll wear an
evening gown that is wreck when she
wouldn't dream of appearing on the
street in costume that is not fresh
in every detail. This is most mysteri-
ious, inasmuch as there is so much to
lbe said in favor of the evening gown,
sumptuous or simple. In it many a
woman has found a panacea for advanc-
ing years. for If becoming and fresh
Chat cannot be emphasized too much)
she looks her best in 1t.

Robert G. Dayton, of Bridgeport, who
lost his sight in an incident three years
ago while he was student in the

In church at Birmingham, England,
1t is the custom to dispense the choir
among the congregation, and to ar
range as far as possible that the congre-
cation shall be grouped together ac-
cording to the parts they sing.
In only nine states of the union does
the reading of the Bible as a part of
school exercises rest on legal basis,
plainly written in the state constitution
or in the school law. These states are
Massachusetts,, New Jersey, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Georgia, Mississippi and
North and South Dakota.
The Japanese papers give the follow
ing statistics of Christian schools in
that country: Protestant boarding
schools for boys, Is, with 1920 schol-
ars; for girls, schools, At, containing
2,527 scholars; Protestant day schools,
105, pupils, 6,031; Protestant Sunday
schools, s37, with 30,624 pupils.
Last year the London school board
began the experiment of free admission
II 10
The result, now officially made known,
strikingly confirms the wisdom of the
step, for there was a vast increase in
schools and scholars, the former num-
bering 321 and the latter 100000. In
other words, the roll of pupils nearly
doubled.
The great leisure for research which
is made in German universities can be

hours week, and 81 per cent. from
seven to twelve hours. OF the associate
professors 60 per cent. are engaged

A GOOD Raln.

The rain this morning has dcne
an incalculable amount Of good in
town and country. The hot. dry
winds and dust which have pre-
vailed for several days haye been
injurious to everything from crops
to stocks of merchandise.
The indications are that the
downponr was general and that
effects will be widespread. While
it will make receipts of grain and
cotton on the local market rather
light for few days, it will be OF
great benefit ultimately and viii
put money in the pockets of the
farmers.

TRANSsIeERIAN RAILWAY.

Faults In It's COnstruction-Cau Car.
~ Only 1000 Troops N Day.
1t Is said that great delay has taken
place in the conveying Of ammunition
and guns to the Russian troops In the
far east owing to the faulty construc-
ton of the Transsiberian railway.
Frequent mention of the defects In
the building of the Transsiberian has
OF late been made In the British press.
Although the matter has been some
what exaggerated, the fact remains
that the construction of the road is de-
fective, the rails are of insufficient size.
the embankments are badly shored up,
and the number of stations is made
Quate, writes the St Petersburg CORE
spondent of the New York Times.
Hence the delay In the transportation
OF troops as well as of ammunition to
China.
1t Is stated on good authority that
not more than 1000 soldiers a day
could be conveyed over the Transsibe-
rian.. The government at st. Peters
burg has become seriously alarmed at
this state Of affairs and has decided tJ
take steps Immediately to rebuild the
railway In certain places. Those rails
which are Of insufficient size will be re-
placed by larger ones, and several
wooden bridges will be rebuilt of iron
or of stone. For this purpose NJ. de
Witte. the minister Of finance, has
granted to the engineers of the railroad
the sum Of S.50O,000 rubles.

GRAIN.
Chicago, Aug. 2s.-Lower Liver
pool cables this morning had little
effect on the market. However, the
tide soon turned and buying orders
proved greatly in excess of the sell
ing ones, setting in 5-sc tadvsnce
from the low point.
The buying was principally on re-
ports of continued excessive rains
in the northwest, which are greatly
hindering threshing and incidentally
running much of the wheat in shock,
while threshing returns from Kan
sas are being received by well known
machinery houses, which goes to
show that the crop in that state was
considerably overestimsted. The
Liverpool market recovered 3.Sd and
closed 1-Sd higher for the day, but
there is little improvement so far,
and this, taken in connection with
the holding up of receipts at market
centers, divided the speculative sem
timent pretty evenly.
There was no session of the Chi
cago board today because of the G..
A. r. encampment. The New York
September option opened Mt 70 Is,
sold OF 70 1-s, then advanced to
70 3-4 and closed at 70 1-2.
CoRN-Also developed considerable
strength and held firm at the ad-
vance until the close.
Liverpool corn opened 1-Sd higher
and closed unchanged, while the
foreign demands for this cereal were
much better than for the snail grain.
There is no apparent enlargement
Of country offerings, and card bids
receive scant attention.
Stocks of old corn are 80 much
smaller than they were q year ago,
the farmer holds out what little that
remains Of last years crop, pending
the outcome of this seasons yield.

The New Ruling .

The new ruling Of the depart
ment regarding the size of town
lots has been a subject of general
discussion on the streets today.
Sentiment seems divided on the
subject, some condemning the rul-
ing as unjust and necessitating q
tedious delay in the requirement
of titles, while others say it is
equitable and should be enforced
even if it does require delay. II
is evident that our people will
never be of one nInd on the sub
iect of the present plat of the
