tions and would threaten to shoot him-
self, in fact, was very sensitive on the
subject. This morning when he awoke
in his room and realized that he had
been transgressing again, he apparently
got out OF bed and taking his pistol

dress. Az a story teller his fame had

Dark Lanterns.

Really, the dark" or bullseye lan- tern, which perhaps is most generally associated in the mind with the stealthy burglar wearing half mask before his eyes, is put to various peace full and legitimate uses and sometimes gleams upon scenes of hilarity. The dark" lantern is a common stock arti- cle of trade, which may be bought in any store where tinware is sold, and all manufacturers of tin goods make it.
 The lanterns are made in three sizes, and there has been very little change in them in many years except in minor details of operation and in the use of better lenses. The dark lantern will throw bright light about twenty feet, covering at that distance circle with a radius of four to six feet.
 Dark lanterns are sometimes used in the country for carriage lamps and for lighting ones way afoot across country roads. Lanterns of the same style, without slides and red and green lenses instead of white. are to some extent used on small yachts for side lights, but with all these uses it is said that the sale of the historic bullseye is decreas- ing-NeW York Herald.

THE DESTRUCTIVE TEREDo.
A Curious and Fragile Worm That
 Digs Tunnels In Timber.

A Curious and Fragile Worm That
 Digs Tunnels In Timber.
 It was in 1731 that Holland narrow ly escaped inundation along its coast because the timbers of the sea dikes In many parts were discovered to be quite unsound. The timely discovery of the real condition of the dikes saved the country from an awful catastrophe, the full extent of which was com prehended by only few Dutchmen.
 The timbers had been honeycombed by the teredo, or shipworm. This creature burrows into any wood im- mersed in sea water. It makes an en- trance when young and digs channels along the grain of the wood, living and often dying in the timber. The worm grows in some localities to a length of twelve inches, it's girth be- ing one and a half inches, and the curious thing about it's whiplike body is it's exceeding tenderness. It cannot bear its own weight. 1t will break if subjected to any strain.
 It will burrow straight along the grain of the wood unless turned aside by knot or nail, and, no matter how many of these worms may be burrow- ing In the same piece of wood, they never run their channels into one an- other. By some marvellous instinct they keep clear of each others pre- serves. We have recently seen a cross section of a log eighteen inches in diameter, and we counted no fewer than 800 distinct burrows.

The Hermit Crab.

Gently crack the shell of the whelks
 for you will find it almost impossible to
 extract the occupant alive otherwise,
 and you will see what you may be par
 doned for supposing miniature lob
 ster. but which in reality belongs to an-
 other distinct species-namely, the her. init crab, Pagurus bernhardus. Wheth- CT he has obtained occupancy by force of arms or merely through dececse of the original tenant is a moot point, but the first supposition is highly probable. as he is a most belligerent little cus- toner.
 An amusing scene may be witnessed by placing several hermit crabs depriv- ed of their shells in an ordinary soup plate, with little sea water and some empty shells-fewer shells than crabs
 The fighting and struggling to secure houses is ludicrous in the extreme. One may be seen almost successful in moor l ing himself within shell, which, by the way, is effected by means of the shelly plates at the extremity of his soft and twisted tail, when another ! seizes him by the nape of the neck, as
 it were, and he is dragged reluctantly forth. The evicter still holds him strug-
 gling at claws length, and not until he himself is safely ensconced does he re- linquish his grasp.-Chambers' Journal
