A Fish That Fishes.

Most remarkable of strange fishes Is
the angler fish, whose very name seems
a paradox. The fishing fish is never
thcless a reality and stern one to all
that approach those awful jaws of
his. With a body the color Of mud, he
generally lies in the shadow of some
rock on the bottom Of the sea waiting
motionless for the approach of his
prey. He is provided with an odd kind
of fin just over the mouth, and this is
held out in front of him to give warn
ing of the coming Of something to be
swallowed. One taken alive was eX-
perimented on, and it was found that
if this projecting fin was touched with
a stick. even though the stick did
not come near the mouth. the jaws
closed convulsively. This slows that
the fin by some provision Of nature
closes the Jaw as soon as it is touched.
I've mouth is tremendous, growing to
the width of foot when the whole
fish is only three feet long. One of
these anglers was caught not long
since, and although it was only %
inches long, a fish Is inches long was
found sticking in its throat. The an
gler is provided with peculiar set teeth
in double or treble rows along the
jaws and at the entrance of the throat
Some of these teeth are a foot long.
He Is not a pretty fish to look at, but he
attends strictly to business and will
swallow anything that touches his
warning fin whether it 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 al.
most as large as the angler itself.
This is without doubt one of the most
peculiar and interesting fish in the
whole ocean.

The making of shark oil is the i'm.
portant industry of McGarvin's Cove.
near Riverside. The process of manu-
facture is decidedly primitive. The
sharks are caught in every imaginable
way, by bait and hook, but principally
with the seine The livers, which con-
tain the oil, after being taken from the
fish, are rendered out in cans set over
a brush fire, reminding one somewhat
of the process Of obtaining the oil from
whale blubber The oil is then put
into casks and shipped to Los Angeles.
The coarser grades are used in the
making of tarpaulins and other oiled
cloths for use aboard ships, while the
finer grades are put into the so called
cod liver oil Of commerce. The sharks
average from 10 to % cents worth Of
oil apiece. and a days catch usually
nets about S40,-Riverside Press.

YOUTHS DEPARTMENT..
Characters Seen In Hats-A Fish
Tint Fishes-Burying u
Snake Alive.

Somebody has given us his idea that
! we nay know a good deal about men
characters by the sort of hats whlch
they wear and the way they put them
on. This Is very likely to be true. we
might also learn, ! dare say, about wo'
men S characters If we took note of the
bonnots which they select, but am not
going to inquire into these Again, !
an sure you can find out signs OF q
boys character if you notice how he ar
ranges his cap on his head and how he
treats it too. l have seen a boy kick
ing his cap along road as he might a
football, which did not make me think
highly of him.
Who is q person of method and or.
der? Certainly the man who has hat
which sits squarely on his head, not
fitting to the right or the left. Such
man you can trust. Yet there is
something to be said for the man
whose hat always seems too large for
him. He may be bit careless, per-
haps eccentric, yet several great men
have worn hats decidedly big. For
Instance, Mr. Gladstone's hat often
seemed inclined to come. over his ears.
He who tips his hat to one side or the
other is apt to le conceited or else
wishes to make himself remarkable.
Then 1t is supposed that those having
hats which seem always too small for
them are mean or narrow minded. He
who usually pulls his hat over his
eyes Is probably not truthful or he Is
suspicious. Such person seldom
takes a cheerful view of people and
things around. But the man who usual
ly has his hat pushed off his face
deserves the kindly regard Of his
friends. Often he is merry, cheerful,
ready to come out with snatches Of
song, though he whose hat leans to
far back over his shoulders Is less to
be admired. He Is eccentric.-Chat-
terbox.

Isolated peODIc Of the EnrfI,

The people who live in the northern
portion Of the peninsula of Kamchatka
are probably the most isolated in the
world. The people have practically no
communication with Others than their
own tribe, being seldom visited by
travellers.
The inhabitants Of the New Siberian
islands are also detached people. for
they can only communicate with the
mainland once year even If the
weather is favorable.
The pygmies of the great central AT.
rlcan forests, if they can be called q
tribe, have also been a people apart.
For ages their existence was little
more than legendary, and only two ex.
petitions commanded by white men
have ever penetrated into their abode.
