SERPENT OF THE SEA
MONSTER so OFTEN DESCRIBED
IS THE eARFlsH.
Exceedingly Rare Specimen Of This
penlzen Of the Deep Recently Sc
eured-lt Remarkable Resemblance
TO a Snake.

Through the intelligent interest oil
Mr.. Robert S Meyer keeper OF the
light station at Anclote Keys, Florida,
the Bureau Of Fisheries has received
an account Of the capture at that
place OF a specimen Of a remarkable
FISH not previously known from any
point on the Atlantic coast OF America
says Forest and Stream.
Mr. Myers says: u inclose a rough
sketch Of q part Of fish which was
killed by shark Sunday, the 18th OF
February, and which drifted upon the
beach on west side Of the light. The
part which came on shore was I feet
long, about 3 inches wide, and 4 inch
es thick. The skin was like bright
silver, with no scales, with black
marks, as shown in the sketch. Eight
blood red plumes which come on. at
the top Of the head were each about
2S inches long. One long plume 80
inches long, came out Of the under
jaw. All the plumes or fms were blood
red. The plumes could open at the
ends and look like small fans as shown
in the sketch. Could you kindly tel
me the name Of the fish described?'
This description, together with the
very good sketch accompanying IT,
leaves no room for doubt that the
strange fish was a specimen Of tho
garfsh Regalecus glesne, described
originally in 1883 by Ascanius frcT a
specimen which came ashore at Giles.
vaer, Norway.
These fishes are very remarkable
not only on account Of their peculiar
appearance and structure, but because
OF their enormous size. They have
been known to attain a length OF 20
feet, and II Is not at all improbable
that they reach even much greater
length. Many Of the creatures popu.
larry identified as sea serpents" were
doubtless large individuals Of this fish.
lndeed, as Goode and Bean remark, II
is quite safe to assign to this group
all the so.called sea serpents," which
have bean described as swimming ra.
pidly at or near the surface, with a
hcrselike head raised above the water,
surmounted by a manelike crest OF
red or brown.
These fishes are true deep.sea fishes
likely to be met with in any or all
parts Of the oceans They are gener
ally found when floating dead en- the
surface or thrown ashore by the
waves. Their body Is like a band

BILLIONS USED EACH YEAR.
Enormous Number Of Shoe Lace Eyes
Annually Called For

Some Of the apparently most tri'
vial things in this world are the most
necessary things and fortunes are
made in manufacturing them" said
Ralph L. jenkins.
Take the lace eyes Of shoes, for
instance. The average person neve.
gives them a thought, but they are In
dispensable TO our footwear, and there
are factories that devote themselves
exclusively to making them. Did you
ever stop to think how many Of those
little things are used every year?
On the basis Of the population OF
the United States being S0,OOO,00O,
this country uses more than 100000
OF lace eyes and hooks a year. Every
man, woman and child will wear out
on an average two pairs Of shoes in
twelve months. The majority Of PEG.

Nose Poked Into Other Businesses
The man with a good olfactory or.
gan can earn big pay outside the
dairy business. The whisky testers
rely upon the sense Of smell more
than upon that Of taste to Judge goods
and some whisky smellers draw large
salaries. These men both smell and
taste in judging the goods. They pour
a small amount Of the liquor into a
glass, whirl the glass sharply and
sniff the vapor.
Alcoholic cOrdials. especially such
os creme de menthe, chartreuse and
absinthe, are tested almost entirely by
the sense Of smell, and big buyers
would rather have the judgment OF a
smeller than Of the best chemist upon
the quality Of the goods.
