Here's a Queer Fish,

Each one Of us has at some time
eaten too much, but we have surely
not gone to such .an excess as this fish
has. It is called the "black swallow
err and as q swallower takes first
place, for its stomach is much larger
than its body. 1t will seize by the tail
a fish eight or ten times its own size
and work its way over it by repeatedly
sliding forward one jaw and then the
other. Before taking meal the swal-
lower is very respectable looking
fish, except for a voracious cast of coun-
tenance, but afterward he certainly
has the appearance Of having eaten
too much. Then the walls Of his stom>
ach are 80 stretched as to be transpar-
ent. Later digestion begins and the
swallower is turned belly upward by
the imprisoned gas and his stomach
becomes balloon, which lifts him
from the depths of the ocean to the
surface, and in this helpless condition
he is thrown about by the waves, per
haps cast ashore and left high and dry
by the receding tide, in which case he
does not swallow any more, for the re
turning tide finds him dead fish.

The $50 mile trough of Lake Erie lies

In that part Of the country. Thus the
lake offers an excellent opportunity for

very interesting these effects some
times prove. Rhythmic gusts produce
rocking motion and great blows from
the west or southwest sweep the liquid
body Of the lake eastward and some

Carolus-Duran'sK Revenge on Sargent.
When John S. Sargent, the famous
portrait painter, studied in the atelier
of Carolus-D Duran in Paris, his teacher
showed his fondness for him by paino
ing in his head in the great ceiling OF
the Luxembourg palace. Even after
he branched out for himself his mas
ter often sent for him to come over to
his studio and pose, his hands having
especially won the admiration of Caro-
lus- Duran. The time came, however,
when Sargent could no longer answer
the beck and call of his teacher, for he
was getting work Of his own to do,
which would not allow him to leave his
studio at a moments notice. One day,
it is related, Carolus-Duran sent hur-
ry call for him, and when he received a
note saying that Sargent was compel
led to decline his request owing to
pressing work he was furious. A few
days later friend to whom he had
confided his anger ut his recalcitrant
pupil, asked him: "Well, how is it with
Sargent? Have you made up? How is
he" "Ah, no." said the painter, and
he looked sad and his shoulders went
up. How is it with Sargent? Oest
