FISH THAT CARRIES WEAPONS.
Species That Has Skin Like Sand-Pa-
per and Armed with Three
COrnered Files.

Two of the fish at the aquarium wear
armor and carry concealed weapons.
AS the police seldom visit the aquari-
am and no complaints have been filed,
the fish have not been disturbed in the
possession of their ornaments, says the
New York Tribune. They are the Or
ange filefsh, which are coated with a
skin that resembles sandpaper in the
latter's most striking characteristic, and
in a hollow on the top of the back they
carry sharp three-cornered files. When
o in use these lie along the back.
When a grudge is to be settled the file
FISH literally gets his back up and VI
ciously tickles the object OF his hatred
in the ribs.
The two specimens at the aquarium
were secured a short time ago IN
Gravesend bay. The fishermen in the
neighborhood Of the bay have other
names for them. 'Old SOW old maid
and foolish are some of the designa-
lions which they apply to them when
they sit over the fire and spin yarns.
The shape Of the head and mouth is
responsible for these The
mouth opens upward, the lower jaw pro-
truding beyond the upper. Crustaceans
are the diet of this fish. and the shape
of the mouth and the sharp teeth with
in are for catching and destroying this
kind of food. One would say, judging
from their appearance, that their diet
was not well suited to their needs, for
they have a starved look. The other
day a party OF sightseers observed this
look.
Here's a fish trying the starvation
cure" remarked one, turning to his
companions. There's something the
matter with him. Don't you see how

Three weeks ago the Controller declared that
Mr.. Low was an excellent nOn-partisan Mayor,
who ought TO be reelected. At the Tammany
notification meeting on Saturday Mr. Grout
said: seth Low eau no longer pretend 10 be
anything but a partisan Republican. Why!
Merely because Mr.. Low agreed with all the
other anti-Tammany leaders that Mr.. Grout
must be put off the ticket which he was pre-
pared 10 betray.
Mr. Grout also said on Saturday that he had
found 1.-THE organization which professed the
bipartisan principle 10 be "squarely and ex-
clusively allied with the Republican party"
How did Mr. Grout find out this fact: He did
not find it out at all. There IS no such fact.
Mr.. Grout has simply imagined a condition
which does not exist. If the Republican party
had desired to take possession of the fusion
movement the detection Of Messrs GrOut and
Fornes would have afforded a perfect oppOr-
tunity for such an attempt. But who have re
placed GrOut and Fornes on the fusion ticket:

MOROCCO.

There mas Of late been a surfeit Of Morocco
bound tales There has been peace and there
has been war in the Shereefian realm. Great
Britain has assented 10 lis annexation by
France and Great Britain has done no such
thing France has prepared an army of con
quest and she has never even contemplated
so doing All Of which is a trife confusing

mind. However. few facts seem 10 stand out
pretty clearly amid the general obfuscation.
and from them the judicious observer may
draw a conclusion or two with some possibility
Of correctness.
For one thing, the Sultan has dismissed al
European officers from his military establish
ment IL may be that he could not trust them
in case OF a conflict with European power.
Il NAV be that he thinks he has need of
them longer. 1t may be that he feels toward
them as Martial toward Sabidius and Busy
toward Hylas and Tom Brown toward Dr.
Fell Who knows: What is the use in being a
sultan 81 one cannot dismiss servants without
telling the reason why? But in any ease il
looks somewhat suggestive. il not ominous
that The Sultan OF Morocco has decided in what
ever conflict may be impending 10 have no alien
near the throne.
Then. again. we know that France j. pushing
one Of her Algerian railroads from Gran tow
ard Oudjda. and means To push il clear 10 the
latter place. Now Oudjda is on the Moroccan
side OF the line So with without Moroccan
permission-thouGh probably with i-there will
10 a French railroad running into Morocco. We
all know what a Russian railroad running
into China means Why should not a French
railroad mean as much? Moreover there is the
example Of Siam At first France drew her
Anamese boundary at the eastern edge of the
Mekong Valley. Then she advanced it 10 the
Mekong River. taking the eastern half OF the
valley. Then she contended that the line should
be drawn at the western side OF the valley, Civ
ing her the whole Mekong basin. There is
a Muuya River in Morocco. France is now
camping upon the eastern edge of its valley
If she pushes her railroad 10 Oudjda, she will
be We'll toward the river itself. Then II would
not be far TO the western side OF the valley
In any such undertakings the only power 10
be seriously reckoned with is England. There
is little fear OF resistance from Spain. Accord
ing TO tradition, England would not want an
alien and potentially hostile power seated at
the other side Of the Strait OF Gibraltar Yet
