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

The funniest little fellow In salt wa
ter is the pufler OF swell fish, flsnei-
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 apuo-
men is all loose and wrinkled, and ne
has such a funny little tail and such
ridiculous little fins and such ols'
three cornered head that he looks en-
tirely absurd. His mouth, instead VI
being big and gaping, as most hsn
mouths are. is only tiny round hole
at the end of q pointed, conical shou''
Ont OF this circular mouth protrude
his teeth, like those Of a rabbit.
He would be about as homely nSh
as could be made II 1t were not Tor
the beautiful orange and yellow and
silver colorings that play all over MN.
Rut oueer as he looks when he Is at
case II is only when he Is frightened
or excited that he becomes really 1uh-
nv. If he is hooked, for instance ne
comes TO the surface grinding those

then as soon as the hand touches MN
he begins to grunt hoarsely, and WIN
each grunt he swells bit till within q
few moments he has pulled himself Sc
full of air that he Is quite round ana
firm like a 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 Dali.
II he is dropped into the water altel
blowing himself full of air he floats
on 1t as lightly as thistledown, and III
will stay that way until he has assured
himself that danger has gone by. III
does the same when he is pursued D.
other fish. And as he floats almost en-
tirely out Of water, with only httl
bit Of his hard, spiny body sunk unde
the surface, very few fish can hur

SHIPS ANCHORS.
The Change From short, straisn'
FIukcs TO Curved Arms.


FIukcs TO Curved Arms.
The ships anchors In general use up
TO the beginning Of the last century
consisted of long, round iron
shank, having two comparatively snort
straight arms or fiukes, inclined to the
shank at an angle OF about forty ue-
grees and meeting 1t In somewhat
sharp point ut the crown. In large an
chors the bulky wooden stock was built
IN of several pieces, hoped together
the whole tapering outward to the enus'
especially OH the aft or cable side.
About the beginning Of the last cen
tury clerk in the Plymouth navy
yard, Pering by name, suggested GER
tain improvements. the most hhpor-
tant OF which was making the arms
curved instead of straight. At frst
sight this simple change may seem OF
little value, but consideration VIII snow
this ia not the case. The holding power
OF an anchor depends on two principal
conditions namely, the extent or use
full holding surface and the amount OF
vertical penetration. The latter quar-
ity Ii necessary on account or the M
ture OF ordinary sea bottoms. the sur
| face layers OF which are generally less
tenacious and resisting than Is the
ground short distance below.
In the year 1881 chain cables Degai
TO supersede the hempen ones, with th'
result that the long shanked anchor
hitherto In vogue were no longer nee
essary and anchors with shorte
shanks and with heavier and stronger
crowns gradually came into use. ii
consequence Of these changes, a com
mission was appointed in the year le3'
TO inquire into t.c 10! ing power o
anchors and Il principal result OF IL
labors was the II option - the 80 calie'

up to the year 1850.
The invention Of the steam hamme
in 1912 made the welding OF heav
masses OF iron comparatively cas-
and reliable process, so that from TIL
time onward the strength OF anchor
fully kept pace with that OF the chai
cables. which had come into genera
use. A number OF patents for anchof
were taken out prior to the great exh
bition of 1851. and, public attento
having been called TO the models thei
shown in the following year, comml

Artificial SNOW.

A curious instance of the formation
of artificial snow was witnessed on one
occasion in the town of Agen, III
France. A fire broke out in sawmill

grees below freezing point. The water
thrown upon the fire was instantly
vaporized, and, rising in the cold, dry
air. was Immediately condensed and fell
as snow. With bright starlight and a
strong northwest wind blowing the

fire below, a brilliant spectacle was pre-
