Of escape, so rapid is the action Of the
shark, the monster Of the deep. The
dolphin, another fast swimming fish,
near relative OF the tOothed whales,
is credited with a speed Of considerably
over twenty miles an hour. For short
distances the salmon can outstrip ev-
cry other fish, accomplishing its TWEEN
ty-five miles an hour with ease. The
Spanish mackerel is one Of the fastest
Of food fishes and cuts the water like
a yacht. Predatory fishes are generally
the fastest swimmers. A fast fish looks
trim and pointed. with its head conical
in shape and its fms fitting close to its
body like a knife blade into its handle
Fish. on the other hand. with large
heads, bigger than their bodies, and

MoNoToNY MADNESS.
A Fate That IL oftsn the Portion .
Lighthouse Keepers.


A Fate That IL oftsn the Portion Of
Lighthouse Keepers.
People who read books-and all do in
this day-will recall Kipling's story
of the lonely lightkeeper who became
mad from the monotony Of his situa-
ton, says the Indianapolis Sentinel.
While the story was fiction, It never
theless was in accordance with many
actual occurrences. A correspondent
submitted the question to the light
house board and found that, while
there had been no such cases as that OF
Kipling's character, Dowse, there had
been many which showed the madden
ing effect OF monotony and isolation
upon the human mind.
The madness of the lighthouse is
much like that Of the desert, for they
are traceable TO a like cause. In the
desert there is monotony Of silence; at
sea there is monotony OF sound. One
is as bad as the other since both derive
their entire pain from mental effect
II is a fearful disease, not yet fully un-
derstood, though many noted alienists
have made a study Of 1t.
This government maintains 1900
lighthouses, and about 100 Of them are
isolated, and communication with the
outside world may be interrupted some
times for months.
II man is taken from the ordinary
walks of life, where he mingles with
his fellow man, and sent to a light
house where no human face is seen ex.
cept that OF the ever present assistant
and no sound is heard save the roaring
Of the wind and wave, he has been
transferred from normal to most alb
normal conditions.
In a remarkably short time keeper
and assistant have talked out. Then
they begin to wear on each other, and
soon they fall to quarreling. Some
times melancholia attacks one OF them
and unless he is speedily relieved his
mental balance is disturbed. When
the disturbance becomes extreme II
takes either a homicidal or suicidal
turn. and the unfortunate has to be
watched closely and sometimes con
fined to keep him from doing violence
to himself or others.
II is well known that the Minot ledge
hight is noted for the number Of mer
who have gone crazy in it and for thai
reason is an object Of interest to stu
dents OF mental diseases. It is, as ev
erybody knows, a piece of engineering
OF the very highest order, being in thai
respect second only to the famous Ed
dystone light.
More than year was consumed II
getting a foundation for II, and so higl
are the tides and so terrific the storms
that the entrance to the light is NOR,
than forty feet above the water. Then
one above the other, come the ivi
rooms occupied by the keepers an(
used for storage purposes. then thu
watch room and finally the lantern.
The tower, being circular and spac,
greatly in demand, naturally every
thing is made to conform, so that nj

which the men sleep are curved. Ev

has done the best 1t could TO make lif

How a Mail Thi.f we. Di.cov.red.


YES, there are some pretty nice pick
ings in the mall service II the clerks
want to take chances" said one of the
postal inspectors. "Take the case of
just one fellow on whom we landed re-
Gently. In one year we traced S475 of
missing money to him, and there is no
telling how much he got away with
that couldn't be accounted for. or the
$40. he swiped as high as $50 in cash
from one letter, and as low as 60 cents.
And these were not registered letters,
which shows the foolishness Of sending
money through the mails without tax
ing proper precautions. In one instance
travelling man sent his wife "a in a
letter 1t never reached her, and her
kick brought SO more. That was swip-
ed too, and the circumstance OF two
thefts in one family. one following the
other so closely, was largely instru-
mental in casting suspicion on the cul-

For Young Women Who May go to the
EXPOSITION at ST. Louis.


At the time of the Centennial in Phiia-
delpala. in 1876, the Young Womens
Christian Association. then six years old
sent out circulars to warn girls against
coming to sec the exposition with the
idea OF getting work. Notwithstanding
this. there were hundreds Of girls strand
ed who exhausted their small savings IN
three or four days and found no work;
how 10 protect them was ap roblem
which is we'll remembered by those VINO
we're managers OF the association at that
time.
Desiring to meet these conditions We
make the fo.iowing suggestions:
See to it that you have money enough
for an emergency and for your return
home.
See to it that before leaving home
you learn from a reliable source that
your destination in st. Louis is a safe
one.
See to it that you accept no directions
from either men or women on trains, II
