The Water CnrnivOra.

The nulnocr of carniyorous creatures found in the water seems out of all proportion to the usual order of nature, but this is perhaps because the minute, almost invisible creatures of which the rivers and ponds are full and which are the main food of the smaller water car nivOra, live mainly on decaying yege- table substance, which is practically converted and condensed into micro scopical animals before these become in turn the food of others
 1t is as if all the trees and grass on land were first eaten by lAcusts or white ants and the locustS and white ants were then eaten by semicarnivo- rous cows and sheep, which were in turn eaten by true carnivora The wa ter weeds, both when living and decay ing, are eaten by the entomostraca, the entomostraca are eaten by the larvae of insects, the perfect insects are eaten by the fish and the fish are eaten by men, otters and birds
 Thus We eat the products of the wa ter plants at four removes in fish, While We eat that of the grass or tur- nips only in the secondary form-beef or mutton.

The CostIfest Painting.

The Duke. of Marlborough is believed to be the possessor of the costIiest painting in the world, which was at one time the property of the first Duke of Marlborough The picture is known as the "Blenheim Madonna," painted by Raphael in 1907 and now valued at no less than f7O,00O. It is eight feet high and represents the Madonna and Child seated on a throne, with figure of St. John the Baptist on the left and that of St. Nicholas of Bari on the right. Its almost fabulous value is due to the fact that it is one of the best preserved of the artists works in existence

 Certainly you may speak, said the learned judge. Say what you please. You shall have every opportunity. I withdraw the sentence I have just passed until I hear what you have to urge. Take your time. Pray take your time"

Fish That Go Forty Miles nn Hors

Fish That Go Forty Miles an Hour.
 Few of us have an accurate idea o: the rate al which fish swim. When we say that d person is "as fast as DOT poise,' we hardly associate quick rate of swimming with that individual, yet he aud everybody else would like to be able to get through the water as rapidly. Porpoises have been seen to dart round and round steamer travel ing seventeen miles an hour, thus prov ing their capacity to swim at a greater. rate than that.
 The dolphin may be placed on q level with the porpoise, but the bonito has occasionally been known to approach forty miles for short distances.
 Herrings, ill shoals, move steadily at a rate between ten and twelve miles mackerel swim much faster and both trout and salmon go at d rapid pace when migrating up q stream for spawn ing.
 Whales are not fish in the scientific sense, but it is interesting to note that these monsters swim at rate of six teen miles an hour when excited. al- though their ordinary speed is estimat- ed at between four and five miles.

DivOrces Tn the District

The District of Columbia is rapidly becoming the most popular place in the United States for mismated couples to seek separation. Scarcely q day passes that the courts of Washington are not asked to grant anywhere from three to six divorccs. and in nine eases out of ten the applicants are accommodated. This is q rather sad commentary upon the morality of the nations capital. But it is fact. nevertheless.
