pretty clothes, but allows herself only
one new gown annually. She never

she never piles on many wraps or

RATE At WHICH FISH SWIM.

Sharks Travel Fastest, with Tarpon
Second and Mackere1 Third.
Study of the speed OF fishes Is en-
barrassed by unavoidable difficulties.
1t is not possible, as with birds, to
set up tall poles at intervals Of quar-
ter Of mile, and, with the help OF
stop watches, time them as they go by.
Nevertheless, recent investigation Of
the subject goes to show that the
mackerel, If not the champion racer
Of the briny deep, comes pretty near
to carrying off the honors. Unques-
tonably it travels sometimes as fast
as an express train at high speed-say,
at the rate of sixty or possibly seventy
miles an hour.
Other things being equal, the larger
the fish the faster it swims-just as
the huge steamship is able to travel at
a speed much greater than the little
harbor tug. Undoubtedly the energy
employed by fish Of great size, such
as a thirty-foo shark, when travelling
at its best gait is something tremen-
dous. An ordinary tug, which repre-
sents a maximum Of energy in a min
imum Of bulk, utilizes about 200 horse
power. OF course, it Is only q guess.
but it would not seem to be over the
mark to suppose that a seventy-foot
whale makes use of 500 horse power
when It propels its huge bulk through
the water at rate Of thirty miles an
hour. A whale-which Is q mammal,
and not flsh-might be compared to
a freight train If the shark Is cannon
ball express, but it can beat the fast
est ocean greyhound" in a speed con-
test.
If there Is a fish that can travel fast
er than a shark 1t must be the tarpon,
which can probably Init her up" to
the tune Of eighty miles an hour, If
pressed for time. Generally speaking.
it may be said that fnny creatures
which live near the surface of the
sea are swift swimmers, as compared
with those that dwell in the depths.
Thus, the cod, which is deep-water
species, is sluggish, and would stand
mackerel or herring. These latter,
which are distinctly pelagic, depend Tor
their living upon their activity In pur-
suing agile prey, and they must be
quick in their movements In order to
escape their own enemies.
If the mackerel was as big as
good-sized shark it would probably be
the speed champion OF the ocean. No
fish is better shaped for rapid going.
Some years ago yacht builder In New
York constructed sloop with a hull
patterned exactly after the under body
Of q Spanish 'mackerel. She was called
the Undine, and, If tradition does not
lie, she never was beaten. Like the
fish after which she was modelled, she
had her greatest breadth Of beam for
ward Of amidships-a decidedly novel
idea in boat building. One may say,
indeed, that all modern water craft
are more or less fishlike In their make

that it was Anna who pointed at mann
mas new book, lying near the reading
lamp.
Let's" said Anna
Il can lift it." said Bobby.
They carried the book to the couch
and spread it open. For long time
they turned the leaves very carefully,
"just as mother would wish us to-"
Anna had said, and that made them
feel little guilty. II guess we ought
to put it away" said Bobby, at last
They each tried to be first in this noble
task, and the consequence was the
book slipped from their hands.
Crash! Bobby tried to save the fall,
and caught but one leaf. This tore
away and was left in his hand, and the
book fell to the floor.
Anna picked it up and laid 1t on the
table; then she took the leaf from Bob
by and placed it inside the cover.
1T does not look as If leaf were
gone" she said, looking at the book.
They went out into the garden and sat
down. They were sure the house was
very lonely without mother, and they
wished she would come.
You ought to know what to do"
said Anna, at last You buy your
own neckties sometimes, and you took
care Of the furnace that day papa was
gone"
"Well, you ought to know what to
do: You know mother better than 1
do-girls always do"
But supper time came, and they
were still undecided. When mother
came they did not run to meet her as
usual and they were very quiet all
the evening. When It was time to 60
to bed they did not ask to sit up q
minute longer.
They had been tucked away some
time when Bobby heard little noise
In the hall. He was out Of bed at
once, and there he found Anna already
on the stairs.
Lets put on our bed-socks- cause
we might want to stay down and talk
