The biggest Of fresh water fishes, the
"arapaima" Of the Amazon, In South
America, which grows to six feet in
length, has teeth on its tongue, so that
the latter resembles the file and Is used
as such. Some kinds Of trout also have
the same popularity. Fishes that swal-
low their prey entire have their teeth
so supported on flexible bases as to
bend backward, but not forward, In
order that their victims shall not es-
cape after they have been once seized.
In ages gone by there were ferocious
sharks, such as would make mouth
ful Of you without blinking, 70 feet in
length.
Plenty Of their teeth have been found
which are five inches long. whereas the
biggest of the teeth belonging to sharks
that exist at the present day are ~
inches long. Speaking Of extinct crea-
lures reminds me to say that all of the
early birds-those Of early geological
times, that is-had teeth, with which
they captured the early worms of the
same period. Being descendant from
reptiles. 1t Is natural that they should
possess a dental equipment, but when
they ceased to be carnivorous they had
no teeth any longer.

Not Portable.

During one Of his expeditions In the
Philippines General Lawton came
across the trail Of party Of FilipinOs,
which he followed for several days
with small body of troops. One day
he and his staff reached the top Of
small eminence and saw river stretch
ing below them but short distance
ahead. Turning to one Of his aids, the
general said, Lieutenant ride ahead
and see II that river is fordable"
The lieutenant put spurs to his horse
and soon entered the river. A few feet
from the shore the bottom shelved of
suddenly, and the horse was soon floun-
dering In deep water. The lieutenant
disengaged himself and swan to the
shore, which the horse also reached in
q short time. After a brief chase, to
the amusement Of the general and the
staff, the horse was recaptured, and,
mounting him, the lieutenant rode back.
His khaki uniform was soaked and
bedraggled, and the water spurted
from the tops Of his military boots at
every jump Of his horse. Riding up to
the general. he gravely saluted and
said, II have the honor to report, sir,
that the river Is not fordable."
Lawton looked at him a moment try
ing to maintain the dignity Of his posi-
ton, but the situation was too ludi-
crous for him. He burst into a hearty
laugh, in which the staff joined at the
expense Of the young lieutenant. who,
however, tells the story on himself.

Stealing a Court Secret,

SteaAlnB ~ SOuES CCCECN
Once when Justice w. of the United
States supreme court reached Pitts
burg on circuit q Mr.. Wright enter
tanned him. There was case pending
then In the supreme court which in
volved the values of two stocks. The
decision was certain to make one Of
the stocks valueless and the other val
liable. It was considered an even
chance which way the decision would
go. The lawyers in the case had set
tied 1t in their minds that II Justice B.
were to write the decision 1t would be
In their favor. The justice was noted
for writing long decisions. The ma
jority of the men on the bench at that
time wrote briefly. Justice w. was en-
tertained at dinner at Mr.. Wright's
house. After the dinner Justice w. be-
came companionable and good natured.
In the midst Of conversation about
the court and its work Mr.. Wright
said to Justice W., mentioning the case
In which he was interested, II suppose
that the decision in that case will be
long one, there being so many points
involved" "As long as the moral law,
my boy" said the old Justice as he
smiled benevolently upon his host.
That was all that he said upon the sub
ject. Mr.. Wright, however, knew from
this remark that 1t was the particular
justice who wrote long decisions who
was preparing the one in this case.
This gave him the cue for the deci-
sion, and he bought stock based upon
this judgment. 1t proved correct, ard
he gained exactly 100000 from this
careless remark Of the too amiable JUS

A Joke That Failed.

Professor Rogers and DR.. Dale were
once lecturing in England, and at ev-
cry town which they visited DR.. Dale
noticed that his colleague, who always
spoke first, made the same speech. In
sact, 30 often did the professor give
tAat speech that the worthy doctor
hew 1t off by heart, and this fact led
the latter to think Of way of taking
the wind out Of his friends sails.
On their arrival at town In south
Lancashire DR.. Dale asked DR.. Rogers
to allow him to speak first, an arrange
ment to which the latter readily
agreed, so DR.. Dale rose and proceeded
to deliver the speech Of DR.. Rogers,
looking every now and then out Of the
corner of his eye to see how that wor-
thy gentleman was taking this practi-
cal joke. DR.. Rogers sat calm and COM
posed, and when at length his turn
came to speak he just as calmly rose
and delivered, to DR.. Dale's utter as-
tonishment, quite new speech.
At the conclusion Of the meeting DR..
Dale said to his colleague:
II thought had taken the wind out
of your sails tonight"
DR.. Rogers replied: "Oh, no. I de-
livered that speech when l was here
month ago."

Toolx Him Mt His Word.

MEN on newspapers often have
peculiar experiences" said w. A. Fair
child of Chicago, "and such a one be-
fell a friend of mine some time ago.
The friend In question was city editor
of q great daily, and in the course OF
his manifold duties 1t fell to his lot to
take to task one of his reporters. The
reporter In question was an English
man, slow Of thought and action and
miserly Of speech. Through the TRADE
to which he was subjected he said
nothing, and when it finally ended he
left the presence of his superior with
out any comment.
"But, as the result proved, he did
some tall thinking. City editors when
'riled,' as is we'll known, are not par
ticularly choice or economical in the
language they bestow on their unfor.
tunate reporters, and among other
things the Englishman had been told
was-a crazy man and that his proper
habitat was a lunatic asylum and not
the hall bedroom Of Chicago board
ing house which he occupied.
"The Englishman took this part OF
the city editors remarks as his text and
acted upon them. He promptly went
to an asylum, had himself thoroughly
examined by three or four alienists
and secured from them an official GER
tificate to the fact that he was sane.
With this he appeared at the office OF
his paper the next day, and, entering
the editors sanctum, he slapped 1t
down before his astonished and dis
mayed superior. Now, you go and get
one,' was his only comment and for
once that city editor capitulated."-

He Who BraGs About How Many
Times He Has "CrOssed."
The ocean scorcher, the woman or
man who was forever Dragging about
how many times he had crossed Is,
thank heaven, on the decrease. Fash
ion has at last set the seal Of her dis
approval on him, and he Is rapidly be-
coming obsolete. The fashion Is now
never to mention the number Of times
one has been to Europe. 1.-The last time
l was over" Is the way to refer to an
over the water experience II you wish
to be in the vogue. OF course you may,
If you truthfully can, say "the time be-
fore last was over' or "the tenth time
| crossed" or during my seventh trip
through Europe" but great majority,
you will find, say "the last time was
over" 1t is safer--when one has been
over but once.
Pin many Of these travellers SO fond
Of relating their European experiences
down to the figures, and you will find
that 1.-THE last time was over bears
close relation to the little boy who said
he was next to the head Of his class,
to have 1t transplre later that the class
consisted of himself and a little girl.
1.-THE last time was over" may, like
as not, have been the first. Still any
thing Is better than the ocean acorcher
and his Dragging. TO him 1t didn't
matter where he hadn't been or what
he hadn't seen or anything, but simply
how many times he had crossed.
The one time on record that any one
was known to get ahead Of shese
scorchcrs was when a lot Of them were
sitting swapping lies on n certain
steamship deck and nonscorchcr, hav-
ing learned that the star scorcher's rec
ord was 1873 runs, remarked, "There's a
man on board who has crossed 5GG
times" Then, rs the excitement caused
by the news somewhat subsidcd: Hes

anything, but just cross the ocean 5G6

BunkOed.


"His name was Alexander, and his
weakness was the horses" said the re-
porter. Surprising as 1t may appear,
he won sometimes and enjoyed brief
nodding acquaintance with fortune.
When the bookmakers got 1t back
again, he took to drink and in the end
went about trying to pick out good
place In which to kill himself.
"He bought drink In cheap hotel,
and the quality Of the liquor led him
to believe be had found the place. He
wished to do no man injury, but any
one who sold that sort deserved to find
a dead man on the premises. He hired
a room, small, bleak, well calculated to
make a man willing to blow out the
gas, even If he had an aversion to 1t,
which Alexander had not.
"He plugged the apertures, closed
the transom, hung his coat over the
keyhole, turned out the gas and lay
down. Then he lighted 1t again and
wrote few foolish letters Of farewell,
30 hard is it for even tired mortal to
quit with no word. Then he put out
the light, saw.that the gas was flowing
freely and lay down.
"He noticed that 1t was ten minutes
to / o'clock In the morning. He fell
asleep, certain it was all over. (Obliv-
ion)
"He woke. The sun was streaming
in. 1t was high noon. Yes; he was
alive. He could not understand 1t.
There was no gas in the room, yet 1t
was still turned on. He finally discov-
cred that In hotels Of that sort they
turn the gas off at a. m. 'Bunkoed!
he said and went cheerily on bis way"

He Hacked OF His Leg.

Caught in a bear trap on the banks
Of the Athabasca, near Milford, Me-,
John Mcleod, lumber scaler, was
obliged to take out his jackknife and
cut off his leg. The trap was too heavy
to move and was sprung In such way
that he could not reach over and re-
lease It. He was far from any human
being, and the only way out Of 1t SEEM
ed to be to cut off the leg.
That was done easily, because the leg
upon which he operated was Of wood.
But when he stumped back to camp It
made him mad to hear the jeers Of the
French Canadian cook Of the lumber
crew.
"Why you no take off you whole
wood laig, ah? You get out um thrap
and no spile you wood laig tall, ahT
Such way out Of his difficulty had
not occurred to Mcleod before.

most instructive laboratories that SCI
