THE FUNNY PUFFER.
A Fish That blows Himself Up Into q
Round Ball.

a Fish That Blows Himself Up Into q
Round Ball.
The funniest little fellow in salt wa
ter is the puffer or swell fish. Fisher
men call him the blow fish.
When he is swimming around at ease
with nothing to alarm him he looks
queer enough, for the skin of his abdo-
men is all loose and wrinkled, and he
has such funny little tail and such
ridiculous little fms and such a big,
three cornered head that he looks en-
tirely absurd. His mouth, instead of
being big and gaping, as most fish
mouths are. is only tiny round hole
at the end of pointed, conical snout.
Out of this circular mouth protrude
his teeth, like those Of a rabbit.
He would be about as homely a ash
as could be made If it were not for
the beautiful orange and yellow and
silver colorings that play all over him.
But queer as he looks when he is at
case it is only when he is frightened
Or excited that he becomes really fun
ny. II he Is hooked, for instance, he

protruding teeth SO that the sound can
be heard good many feet away. And
then AZ soon as the hand touches him
he begins to grunt hoarsely. and with
each grunt he swells bit till within q
few moments he has pulled himself SO
full Of air that he is quite round and
drm like ball. So thoroughly does
he distend himself with air that when
the fishermen hurl him at the water
with all their force, as they often do.
he will bounce just like rubber ball.
II he Ia dropped into the water after
blowing himself full Of air he floats
on It as lightly as thistledown, and he
will stay that way until be has assured
himself that danger has gone by. He
does the same when he 10 pursued by
other fsh. And as he floats almost en-
trely out Of water. with only q little
bit Of his hard, spiny body sunk under

A THEATRICAL MUSEUM,
Treasures of the Property Room o
the Theatre Francais

Treasures of the Property Room of
the Theatre Francois.
Great passions will ever carry it over
great upholstery If you give them their
chance. To this day the only setting
of the chief scene of La Malade lima
ginaire" at the Francois Is an arm
chair. 1t is carried on by q couple Of
lackeys, as though it had just been re-
moved from furniture van, and is
planted right in the middle of the
stage. That chair is the very one in
which Moliere, playing the part Of Ar
gan in his own piece, suffered the first
shock of the illness that carried him
off. 1t is but one Of the treasures of a
house that is a perfect museum not
only of historic properties, but Of the
whole art of the stage.
In the greenrOom. as NJ. Delorme, its
historian, has told us. in the committee
room, in the Office Of the administra.
tor, in the archives. in every part of
the theater to which the public has nc
access. there Is prodigious mass OF
full length portraits. Of medallions, OF
genre pictures, Of engravings. draw.

These. with the works exhibited in the
public rooms, form unique collection
whereof every piece belongs in some
sort to the history Of the house Of Mo

In its way as the museum of painting
and statuary. Here we may find the

GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT,

The condition of all crops in the
northwest, with the exception of corn
and rye, is better than it was a year
ago, according to the July reports to
the agriculture departemnt. The acre.
age in some cases, however, is con-
siderably smaller than last years, and
unless the yield this season is phe-
nomenally large, these crops will be
smaller than those of 1903. The
wheat situation is wholly favorable,
according to these reports.
The North Dakota wheat acreage,
is estimated as 5 per cent larger than
that of last year. On the other hand,
the total wheat area in South Dakota
this year is said to be per cent
smaller than it was last year. The
indicated yields in North Dakota for
this year is 5S,O02,609 bushels, and in
South Dakota 45,362,S75 bushels: but
this estimate cannot be relied on for
the reason that the important factor of
acreage yield is unknown, the last
years yield being taken as a basis,
this rough estimate gives total CROP
of 173,311,55s bushels for the three
states, as against an actual yield of
173, 146,171 bushels in 1903.
There is unusually large acreage
of corn in Minnesota this year, al
though it is smaller than usual in the
two Dahotas. In Minnesota it is esti-
mated to be 8 per cent larger than
the 1908 acreage; in North Dakota it
is believed to be 20 per cent less than
last year, and in South Dakota 10 per
cent less.
Vastly larger areas were devoted to
fax last year than this year, in Mime
sofa and the Dakotas. The acreage in
Minnesota is only II per cent, in North
Dakota only 60 per cent, and in South
Dakota only SO per cent as large as
it was last year. This will mean, of
course, tremendous reduction in the
total crop of these three great fax
producing states.
The potato acreage in Minnesota is
estimated to be SO per cent as large
as it was last year; in North Dakota
103 per cent, and in South Dakota 102
per cent. The total potato crop Of the
three states should be larger than it
was last year, provided the average
yield per acre is not smaller than it
was in 1903.
The condition of crops at the begin
ming of this month-indicated by per-
centages-was higher in Minnesota
than it was at the same time last year,
with the exception of corn and rye,
and higher than the average for the
last ten years. In the case Of nearly
every crop, this years superiority in
condition is very striking Corn alone
shows a lower condition in North Da-
kota this year, every other crop being
above last years record and the record
for ten years. In South Dakota, a
higher condition is indicated for every
crop than last year; and all except
corn were in better shape than the
average at any corresponding period
for ten years.

Mexican Loan Placed in the
 United States.

The $4O,OOO,OOO loan of the Mexican government has been awarded to an American syndi- cate, of which Speyer & Go. are managers, and which has been competing for the loan with a foreign syndicate composed prin- cipally ofthe leading Paris banks. The syndicate which has taken the new loan includes the Mutual Life Insurance Company and the Equitable Life Assurance Society, the Guaranty, Union and Central Trust Companies, the National City Bank, Harvey Fisk & Sons, Lazard Freres, and some of the other leading financial institu- tions and private banking houses of New York, as well as the First National Bank of Chicago, the Girard Trust Company of Phila- delphia, and the Old Colony Trust Company of Boston. And Spcyer Bros. of London, L. Spey- er-Ellissen, of Frankfurt, the Deutche Bank of Berlin, and Te- ixeira de Mattos Brothers of Am sterdam, through whom the bonds will be placed in Europe, are also interested.
 The loan amounts to $4O,OOO,- 900 United States Gold. The bonds run for fifty years and car ry interest at 4per cent annually. They are in denominations of S1 1000, principal and interest payable in New York, and also payable in pounds sterling, rel chsmarks and franc. The sink ing fund provides that during the first five years certain pro- portion must be drawn at par and interest. After that time the purchases must be made annual ly in the open market untll the bonds sell above par and interest.
 The operation is noteworthy m that this is the first loan plac- i'll this country by any of the southern republics, and is nota- ble in that for the first time an important foreign loan is made payable in dollars, the custom heretofore having been to make the bonds payable primarily in pounds sterling Bureau of the American Republics.

Otto LudIoff'S Home
Goes Up In Smoke

Otto Ludloff's house at Kalihi. near
Wilcox's poi factory, burned to the
ground Saturday night at about 0
o'clock. The members Of the family
barely escaped with their lives. Mr..
and Mrs. Ludloff and the children all
jumped from windows to save them.
selves.
The owner OF the house believes the
fire caught In the bedroom from a
lamp which he thinks was overturned
by a cat. He heard crash and
breaking of glass and in the next mo-
ment flames and smoke were issuing
from the bedroom door to the dining
room, where Mr.. Ludloff sat reading.
He called to Mrs. Ludlof to hurry out
OF the house. The family were scarce.
ly In the street before the house was a
mass of flames. Beides the house, the
barn and outhouses were all burned to
the ground. A good stock of poultry
and pigeons were incinerated by the
blaze.
The fire alarm was sent In at $3.50
and after the long drive the Palama
engine arrived TO find the fires work
done.
The loss, according to Mr.. Ludloff,
will be considerable more than the
face of the insurance policies. which
are 81, 500 and $500.
