BIG FISHES OF THE DEEP SEA.
Prof. Charles Frederick Holder Writes from Pasadena, Cal, of Several, Some of Which He Has Seen.

Boston Christian Register.
 The animals of the deep sea which live ha.bitually in water just above the freez- ing point in darkness that is profound. are among the most grotesque ana sing- ular. of living beings The fishes. so Tar Tar does not prove that here are no large animals in the deep sea- The method of taking deep-sea forms precludes the capture of any except the small ana very sluggish ones which lie in the deep ooz6 but the time will come when a large dredge will be invented in which the monsters of the deep will be taken. as there are few naturalists who have given the subject any attention but be- Meve that there are in the greater depths some gigantic animal which IS occasion ally seen by those who go down to the sea in ships. The many and oft-recurr. ing stories of the sea sexpent cannot all be visions, pictures of the fancy. Many of the supposed sea serpents are whales, lines of birds. or patches of seaweed. but 1t is the consensus of opinion among conservative naturalists that there is some gigantic animal in the deep sea yet unknown to science winch occasionally comes to the surface, showing portions of its form. to the amazement of the mariner who may chance to be in the vicinity.
 As to the nature of these unknown an- imais we have several suggestions; some years ago a fisherman on the Georges Banks of the Maine Coast, or in that vicinity, brought up a remarkable fish twenty feet in length which was en- tirely new to him. Considering 1t a mere encumbrance. 1t was thrown overheard. but the catch was reported. and aroused great interest among naturalists. so much that a large sum was offered to the fishermen to fish 1t up again. which they tried to do without success. The fish was a veritable young sea serpent and. if such a fish attained the length of fifty feet. it would well compare with rh a reported so often. Since this occurrence several eel-like sharks have been taken long, serpentine-lke creatures that, when large, must be the sea serpents of the deep sea, and have convinced observ- CTS that the tales which have aroused the credulity of people are not without foundation. and that this mysterious realm conceals strange and gigantic

HIS LITE RUINED BY A WOMAN
Death of . Leading Member of thu
 Philadelphia Bar.
Philadelphia Evening Telegram

EulducfpLuA 'GVeHitI8 tSfcSfd".t
 The death of James H. Shakespeare at the Friends, Asylum. Frankford. on Sun day morning, ma-ked the sad close of a life that, at one time gave promise of exceeding briliancy and promise. Less was recognized as one of the abIest and most successful members of the Phil adelphia bar.
 Born in Delaware on November 30, 1850, he was early destined for the law. and after his graduation, with high honors, from Dickinson College, he came to Phil adelphia and began the study of law in the ofiice of the late James H. Heverin, with whom he afterwards formed a part nership. MT. Shakespeare devoted him. self to the civil business, while MT. Heverin attended to the criminal cases. As civil lawyer MT. Shakespeare soon attained prominence. and was the repre- commercial corporations. In 1880 he married Miss Annie Heverin. sister of his law partner. and for time lived happily with her. Ten years later, how lock, who was generally known as Nellie Rheinhart. her maiden name. J4j Shakespeare's troubles date from that time. He became madly infatuated with from his wife, married her. in the face of the most violent opposition on the part of his family and friends. The mar riage ostracized MT. shakespeare from
 
 Her extravagant habits ruined her hus- band financially, and his practice, large and lucrative as it was, proved made Quate to the strain.
 In 1898 Mrs. Shakespeare eloped with a man known as Evans Wheeler, alias Sir Henry Murgrave onequi." from New York; where she had been living in an expensive flat. paid for by her husband The couple went to Europe, and later onequi was arrested in Londont for swindling. He is said to be in an Eng lsh. jail at the present time. Mrs. Shakespeare found herself stranded, but her husband learned of her condition and sent her money with which to return home. Upon the arrival of the woman in this country she effected a reconciliation with MT. Shakespeare, who. declarine that he believed she had been under a hypnotic spell. forgave her all. a 4 AS an instance of the woman's extr#V agant habits. 1t is said that Mir ShaH@ speare gave her an allowance of $1O0u a month, but even this princely sum was not sufficient to meet her expenses, so recklessly did she squander money It was thought that the woman's ex- perience with Onequi would have a saiu- tary effect upon her, but, on the con- trary, it is stated she indulged in even wilder escapaces after her reconciliation. Mir. Shakespeares mind gradually gave way beneath the strain. and about three years ago he developed softening of the brain. He knew that his life had been misspent, after an unusually successful legal career. and this is what brought on the disease which caused his death

GERMAN POLICEMEN.
They Carry Lances and Blow Whis- ties When They Have Teeth.

tAcS WASA AhSy GaNS 1Octh-
 London Telegraph.
 Villages in all parts of Germany still maintain night watchmen." who act as guardians of the community, and carry when on duty long lance, something of the nature of halbred, in their hand, as they perambulate their beats during the long. dark hours of the night. They also have a whistle with them. with which they proclaim to the housekeeping inhab- itants and to proving men and beasts what o'clock it is. It is only a very few years ago that the large cities dropped their night watchmen,' but many of the smaller towns in the provinces still employ their services. At a townlet in Posen, near the Silesian frontier, one of these old worthies had ceased to blow his whistle when the clock sounded the hour. The Burgomaster could not com prehend the negligence. and the delin- quent was summoned to his presence to account for it. At first he was at loss what excuse to make but on being pressed he declared that a few days be- fore his last remaining tooth had dropped out, and that consequently he could pro duce no sound from his beloved whistle.
 The Burgomaster could think of no rem edy: nor could he punish the watchman. A council was called to deliberate, and the meeting. At first profound silence reigned. Finally, one ofS the members Of the council rose and said he had heard of the possibility of replacing human teeth Dy dTunSadt ones, duuiHS' ttdt III the best of his belief there was a man In Breslau who undertook to do this He said he could not vouch for the truth of what he had heard; but he really had been told that this was the case! A long discussion ensned, with the result that the watchman was told to go to Breslau to get a new set of teeth. In due course the old man returned to the scene of his duties provided with the needful. The following night the Burger meister sat up to hear the result. To his astonishment there was no sound of the whistle at 10 o'clock. nor at II, nor even at midnight! The mex. morning he sum Inoned the watchman, to whom he ex- your teeth now" he said. "why do you not whistle as before?" In a tone of hr- mility the old chap replied: Yes! have got a new set of teeth; but the doctor night"

Jordan's Epigrammatic Sayings.

Some of the platform utterances of President Jordan of Lelard Stanford Uni versity have been treasured up by many Western educators. Here are a few of them: You can't fasten a 5000 educa- tion on a 50 cent boy The football field is safer for young men than the ballroom" When Collis P. Huntington declared that college men were poor bus mess men and that the masses were over educated Jordan replied: If an edu- cated man is unfitted to take practical hold on life he is not worth educating, or the education Is a misfit.'
