Shaving in Public.

The most public barber shop in New
York has just been started in a room
in the Grand Central Station which
opens into the main passageway from
the elevated railroad platform to the
main waiting room.
1t is small, shallow room, and the
side toward the passageway is almost
entirely glass. The chairs are within
five or six feet Of the passersby and
every expression on the faces of the
men in them can be seen plainly.
Thousands of people pass this glass
fronted barber shop every day and
since the BARRIERS have begun work
not few of these people have stopped
to stare at the men being shaved as
If they had never seen a barber shop
before.-New York Sun.

cunningly hidden nests, but it is i'm
possible to pass beneath the waves to
watch the habits of ''all that dwell
therein" "The way of a fish in the
sea- is almost as much a mystery now
as in the days of Solomon, and what
is known but shows the extent of the
unknown.
Suppose that visitor from some
other planet were to come on an eX-
ploring expedition to our earth, but
that his vessel could come no nearer
than several miles, while our atmos-
phere was opaque to his vision and
untitled for his respiration. Under
such circumstances his position would
not be unlike our own in regard to the
sea, and 1t may be perceived that in
either case the knowledge to be gained
must be scant and fragmentary. The
astral explorer might capture few
of the lowest animals in his nets and
dredges; he would probably obtain
some worms, but he would be unlike
ly to take a bird, Quadruped, man or
any other thing that has the power of
locomotion. For the same reasons the
investigation of the sea has been slow
and unsatisfactory, and but little has
been made out of even the common
est fishes. Many species and some
genera are known by single specimens,

man seeing in an automobile merely a
kors9less carriage which is moved by
some unseen power. Now, however.
an automobile has been invented in
Massachusetts which differs widely
from those in use at present.
1t consists of an ordinary four
wheeled carriage, in front Of which
is traction motor. The latter is
mounted on separate wheels and is
connected by couplings with the axle
of the carriage. 1t is also provided
with reins, by means of which it can
be guided and controlled.
AS the accompanying picture shows.
this motor is driven very much in the
same manner as horse, and for this
reason it is claimed that it will COM
mend itself specially to women. The
reins are so adapted that when either
IL pulled the motor is at once guided
to that side and when both are pulled
brake is set in motion.
This arrangement is certainly more
simple and artistic than the ordinary
method of guiding and controlling an
automobile, but whether it will work
in practice remains to be seen.-Chl-

New Use For the Lamp.

Hot water bags have grown to be a
positive necessity in the household Of
late years, one great advantage of
this being that they retain the warmth
for an extended period of time. But
the heat will eventually diminish be-
yond the point, where the water bag
Is useful, when the water must be re-
newed. AS this cannot always be done
conveniently it has occurred to Sam
uel A. Gotcher that the water might
be constantly maintained at the re-
quired temperature by an arrangement
attached to an ordinary lamp. He
has applied the thought in the manner
shown, simply connecting two bags
with coil Of pipe in conjunction with
the flame. AS the latter can be readi-
ly regulated it is easy to vary the
temperature to suit requirements. The

been found by what appears to be the
purest chance.
Quite number of rare specimens
have been obtained from the stomachs
Of other aquatic animals. The greater
number of fishes are carnivorous and
most of them are voracious feeders,
greedily swallowing anything of a
suitable size that presents itself. A
sharks stomach sometimes contains q
remarkable assortment of objects, and
sometimes rarities are discovered, for
sharks are more intent on the guam
tity than the quality Of their food.
There is a genus of fish called the
Tarletonbeanea, in honor of DR.. Tarle-
ton II. Bean, a distinguished ichthy-
ologist, but Of it only three specimens
are known to exist. OF these, one was
taken from the stomach of an Albacon
off the coast Of California, one came
from Sebastodes miniatus, and the
third was blown on board of a boat
during storm.
A still stranger example is that of
the "scal fish," In making some in
veStlgatlonS into the life of the fur
seal few years ago, it was necessary
to determine the character of the food
on which it subssts. To do this, the
stomachs of numbers of seals were
opened and their contents examined
and in them the remains of new
kind of fish were found to very COM
mon. Nothing but the bones Gig. y
have been found, but these in such
numbers as to show that there must
be vast quantities of these little fish,
although up to the present time no
one has seen one in life.
The sea is the great home of aquatic
life, but the fresh waters well repay
research. The lung fishes" that can
breathe atmospheric air. and thus
avoid polluted waters, or the mud
fishes, that are captured by digging
them up, are interesting variations
from the general rule, but the subter-
ranean species are most wonderful.

Phya Charoon is about thirty seven
years old. Like most Siamese he is
below medium size, according to our
standards, but is Of fine physique,
deep chested, muscular and straight.
He will be a particularly gorgeous
Minister. In Siam his collection Of
jewelry is no finer than that of many
other men of high rank, but Siam has
been amassing gems for many genera
tions. He has emeralds, rubies, pearls
and sapphires sewed into some of his
ceremonial costumes. Besides these
he has his more personal jewelry; dia-
monds, pearls, in rings, pins, belts
and pendants. With all his decora-
tions on, chief among them blazing

Not always has Phya Charoon lived
thus. Siam is the home of the most
rigid Buddhism, and the envoy is a
pious Buddhist. By the precepts of
that religion as practiced in Siam,
every nobleman must serve in the
priesthood a certain time. The King
himself has been priest. Phya
Charoon spent his allotted time as a
novitiate in one of the monasteries,
where he became so imbued with the
religion that he donned the yellow
robe of the mendicant, renounced his
riches ana begged his food from door
to door.
After completing his priesthood he
studied diplomacy, and then travelled.
He speaks English. 1t is not likely
that he will bring any Of his wives

Fish Commission at San Marcos, Tex
as. An artesian well was bored, and
flow of 1900 gallons of water per min
ute obtained at a depth Of 1SS feet.
The boring was through almost solid
limestone, the ''log" of the well show
ing that one tunnel some two feet
in diameter was pierced, but the flow
has brought up numbers of living or
ganisms, all new to science. So far
four species of shrimps and sala-
mander have been described, but these
have been abundant. DR.. James q.
Benedict, Of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton, described and named the shrimps.
and DR.. L. Steiner, Of the same estab-
lishment, did the same for the sala-
mander. He gave it the name of Ty-
phlomolge Rathbuni. in honor Of
Mr.. Richard Rathtbun, the assistant
secretary Of the Smithsonian Institu-
tion.
The accompanying Illustration gives
an accurate conception of this strange
animal. Its head is large and pro-
longed forward into a tiattened snout
in which is the mouth. The eyes are
covered by the skin and are visible
only as two black specks. Behind the
head the external gills form festoons
about the neck. their vivid scarlet

dingy white skin. The four legs are
