A QUEER SEA DENIZEN.
Fishes That Angle for the Food
They DeyOur.


Most remarkable OF strange fishes is the
angler fish whose very name seems a
paradox. The fishing fish is nevertheless
a reality, and stern one to all that APP
proach those awful jaws of his Win
a body the color Of mud, he generally
lies In the shadow of some rock on the
bottom Of the sea, waiting motionless Tor
the approach OF his prey.
He is provided with an odd Kind OF nm
just over the mouth. and this Is held out
in front of him to give warning of the
coming of something to be swallowed.
One taken alive was experimental on and
il was found that If this projecting lin
was touched with n stick, even though the
stick did not come near the mouth. the
jaws closed conUulsiTcy. This shows
that the fin, by some provision OF nature
closes the jaws as soon as it is touched.
The mouth is tremendous, growing 10
the width of a foot, while the whole nsh
is only three feet long one OF these an
glcrs was caught not long since and, al
though ii was only twenty-five inches long
fish fifteen inches long was FOUND STICK
ing in its throat. !, The tangler Is provided
with a peculiar set of teeth, in double or
trance Of the throat. Some of these teeth
are a foot long. ia
He is not pretty fish to look at, but he
attends strictly to business, and will swai-
low anything that touches his warning lin,
whether II be meant for food or not. All
kinds Of things have been found in the
stomach 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 interesting fish In the
whole ocean.

The steel securities generally were not
strong and they were dull in the extreme.
The mystery is out OF the Morgan con-
solicitation deal to certain extent and
holders Of the old stocks seems to have
decided to turn them In to the syndicate
and await results. This accounts for the
lack of transactions in them. Perhaps a
desire on the part of the syndicate to get
all the stocks possible for the deal may
account for the low range of prices es-
tablished. The outlook for the securities,
both old and new, is pronounced good
both by syndicate members and by ex-
perts not connected with the deal

the weight of evidence of all kinds APP
pears to be in the other direction. Stocks
have had big advance and there is
heavy selling, but with conditions as they
are the most conservative view should be
that prices may go much higher, that the
important liquidation is not indicative of
a desire on the part of the market lead
ers to sell out their holdings. The analy-
sis of the market made by some of the
best authorities in Wall Street is that

Atchison preferred few years ago sold
below 20 and It's advance in price has
been seventy points. But when Atchison
preferred was at it's low price the com
pany was just out of bankruptcy, and IL
REQUIRED the utmost faits to predict that
the company would be able to make any
disbursement on the stock for many years
to come. At the present time the COM
pany is earning considerably more than
double the full per cent dividend on the
stock. and this fun dividend is as much
an assured fact for the future as almost
any railway dividend is. The same story
of immense prosperity and excellent pros
poets could be told of the other granger
securities. and the Pacific stocks general
", and the Southern stocks and the
Southwestern issues.

1t is not a good point to make against
the present bun market either that prices
are higher Ian they were in the year
1896 or last year 1t is safe to estimate
that the advances in prices have not kept
up with the increases in railway earnings
According to any fair market standard,
Burlington is better worth $50 now, when
the company is earning per cent on its
stock and paying per cent. than 1t was
worth 60 five years ago, when the com
pany only paid per cent and had a DELI
cit at that The comparison is the more
striking when it is remembered that every
thing in the outlook now is for still greater
earnings in the coming few years, and
when it is considered that stockholders
are receiving almost every year some eX-
ira disbursements over their per cent
dividend.

1t has been long time since the people
of this community were worked up to such
a pitch Of excitement as at present, owing
to the fact that there are two cases of small
pox in town. Martin Lolo and wife came
home sick from Ravenwood, New York,
last week believing they had malaria, as
the doctor at that place had SO informed
them; but after being home few days DR..
Edwards became convinced that something
more serious was the matter. He then
called in DR.. Halsey and at the conclusion
of the consultation they pronounced it
smallpox. The news spread like wild-fire,
and since then the doctors have been doing
a rushing vaccination business. They are
stopping at Harry Morgan's, the father Of
Mrs. Lolo. The house is quarantined, but
as some people had been in the house to see
them, it is feared other cases may develop.
Mrs. Lashley and her small daughter
