THE PUFFER.
Remarkable Fish Can Make Itself Too
Big to Be Swallowed

From the New York Tribune.
A few days ago number of specimens
of the pufrer were taken to the aquarium.
The puffers are caught in the neighborhood
Of this city. They are so named because
of the elasticity of their skin and the facil
ity with which they can initiate themselves
by doubling their size. When in this con-
dftion they resemble in some respects a
ball. The nose and brilliant light green
eyes protrude from one part and on the
other side tail projects. Apparently
sense of danger close at hand is the signal
for putting up, and the success of the ef-
fort does not appear to be governed by
confinement to the water. Air seems to
serve equally WELL as was demonstrated
by Mr.. Spencer, the superintendent Of the
aquarium. the other day. He lifted one
from the tank and instantly its pumping
apparatus began to work. A very short
space of time-a second or thereabouts-
was required to give the fish rotundity.
It's skin is beautifully mottled. and when
lying on a gravel bottom 1t might easily
be mistaken by another fish swimming
above for part of the bed itself. Although
1T is not known positively why the puner
has this power to enlarge itself. 1t y
thought by some that this 10 a means OF
protection. The fish is not large. being
only six or eight inches long. Every one
knows how hard 1t would be to swallow q
ball six or eight inches in diameter, ana
that the number OF species OF flsh which
could do this successfully Is not large. The
puffer has the power, apparently, to mako
itself uncomfortable as a hshboper

Beginning Of the Navy Department,

The navy department began with
the institution of the Office Of secre-
tary in 1898, when, also, the first in
cumbent was appointed, and after va
rious experiences 1t reached its pres
ent constitution In 1912. Since then 1t
has remained fixed in fundamental
principles, but has been subject nee
essarily to occasional considerable
changes of detail and adjustment, as
the navy has grown with the nations
growth, and as naval science has be
come more complicated in its demands.
The gradual advance of the world In
the mechanical arts has brought with
1t corresponding application of those
arts to maritime development in gen.
eral, and to naval warfare in partic-
ular. The general system is as fol-
lows: The president being by The
Constitution, commander in chief of
the army and navy, congress has Gre
ated by law the office of secretary OF
the navy, single person, who relieves
the President of the burden of details.
These are Of two principal kinds
namely, those that concern the opera
tions OF the feet all over the world,

itary side of naval administration, and

A wcll-cut "runabout" is not awk-

SchWab's Ability.

A man who has been an intimate
friend of Charles M. Schwab for many
years says: "The world wonders why
Schwab is so strong with the steel
folk. Perhaps there are a score Of
men each of whom would make just as
good a president Of the Steel Trust
as Charlie, but 1t is not as a steel man,
pure and simple that he is in such re-
quest. Schwab's great power lies in
his ability to handle men. He Is the
ablest director of labor that the world
ever knew. The vast army Of steel.
workers trust him implicitly. But for
him there would be strike after strike.
Undoubtedly he has saved the corpora
ton many millions by his amazing in
fiuence over the men In the mills and

Among the new designs in jewelry
are the neck chains, with baroque
pearls and oddly fashioned pendants.
Tips are being used on stiff hats and

purposes. Rather inappropriate, the
artists of fashion say. But nevertheless
the mode is here.
II you want to achieve summery

tints. A touch Of ivory or yellow lace
adds to the charm Of the combination.

The Wedding Presents.

The tin wedding anniversary which
marks ten years of married life affords
great opportunity for fun makers, and
an endless variety Of gifts can be made
or bought at a trivial expense Some
stores keep a line of these articles in
a special department. OF course, on
such occasions, gifts naturally run to
extremes, the funnier or more gro
tesQue the more appreciated by the re-
cipients. The gorgeous tin bouquets,
for example. are in high favor. They
are facsimiles Of the natural flowers,
minus the coloring. Tin baby carts in
miniature, scrap baskets, bonbon
boxes, fern dishes and bric-a-brac are
among the array of wedding gifts.
The gifts that cause most merriment
are high collars with nnttonholes, tin
belts, tin watches and clocks, and to
cap the climax Of these nonsense pre-
sents are tall stiff hats and bright
tiaras for the hair.
This collection Of "valuables" affords
a temporary pleasure and amusement

lasting delight to the nursery tots and
