A zulu Dainty.

Mealies are the chief food of the
hatfirs, but they rejoice at an occa-
sional opportunity of feasting off a
tough "trek" OK, no matter if it has
died from natural causes, albeit
their glimmering of religious super
stition fOrbids them the use of ami
NAL food. They loathe fish as We
should loathe eating a snake; but,
on the other hand, their fancies for
certain tidbits run in a curious di-
rection. One afternoon a spray Of
ghttering green foliage is brought
to me from whence are depending
the most enormous caterpillars I
have ever seen in my life, as thick
as my thumb and twice as long
fat, green fellows, studded With
small, sparkling scales.

they had been obtained wept be-
cause eve had taken away her food"

Why Some Fishes Die Easily

The reason that fishes and mol
lusks living even three miles under
water are able to bear the pressure
of the waves above them, which is
one ton to the square inch at the
depth of only mile, is because they
have exceedingly loose tissues, which
allow the water to flow through ev-
cry mterstice, as it would through
the pores of a sponge, thus equaliz-
ing the weight. Indeed it is as
serted the main cause of their dying
almost Immediately upon being
brought to the surface is because
the accustomed pressure has been re-
moved According to one natural
list, all species of sharks brought up
from a depth of over two miles are
dead before they reach the surface.

Inside q Whales Mouth.

The great Greenland whale has
no teeth, its baleen plates, or whale
bones, taking their place. Along the
center of the palate runs a strong
ridge, and ON each side of this there
Is a wide depression, along which
the plates are inserted. These are
long and flat, hanging free, and
are placed across the mouth, with
their sides parallel and near each
other. The base and outer edge of
the plates are of solid whalebone,
but the inner edges are fringed, fill
ing up the interior of the mouth and
acting as a strainer for the food,
which consists of small swimming
mollusks and medusae OF jellyfshes.
