A TERRlELE PENANCE.
Tfbefan Monks Who suffer Life Im-
prfsonmenf In Dark Cells.

prfsonme In Dark Cells.
Perhaps the most terrible penance
suffered for religious reasons anywhere
In the world is that of the monks OF
Nyen-de-kyi-buk as described by Per-
cival Landon in The Opening of
Tibet These monks live in the ordi-
nary manner during the novitiate; then
they go into cells for a period of six
months; then, after an interval, for
three years and ninety three days; la
ter for life.
And such a cell. Almost on a level
with the ground says AR Landon,
there was an opening closed with
fat stone from behind. In front Of this
window was a ledge eighteen inches in
width, with two basins beside it. one
at each end. The abbot was attended
by an aeolyte who, by his masters or
ders, tapped three times sharply on
the stone slab. We stood IN the little
courtyard in the sun and. watched that
wicket with cold apprehension
think, on the whole, it was the most
uncanny thing saw in all Tibet. Aft
er half minutes pause the stone NOV
ed or tried to move, but it came to rest
again. Then very slowly and uncer-
tainly it was pushed back, and black
chasm was revealed There was again
a pause of thirty seconds, during which
Imagination ran riot but do not think
that any other thing could have been
ais intensely pathetic as that we actu-
ally saw.
"A hand, muff1ed in a tightly wound
| piece of dirty cloth, for all the world
| like a stump Of an arm, was painfully
thrust up and very weakly it felt
along the slab. After fruitless fun
bling the hand slowly quiyered back
again into the darkness A few mo-
ments later there was again an inef-
fectual effort, and then the stone slab
moved noiselessly across the opening.
"Once day water and an unleav-
ened cake of -four is placed for the
1 prisoner upon that slab, the signal is
/ given, and he may take 1t in. His
diversion is over for the day, and in
the darkness of his CELL where night
and day, moon, sunset and the dawn
are all alike, he--poor soul!-had
thought that another day of his long
penance was over"

A DEEP SEA GLLrTTON.

rhf. Marine Wizard Can swallow =
Fish Twice Its Own Size.
..That one animal can devour another
twice its own size at a single swallow
is a statement that may seem as In
credible as any fish story ever invent
ed writes Dr. Sanderson Christison
Nevertheless it is true Of certain fish
es. SO far as known such fishes are in
habitants of the deep seas, where utter
darkness perpetllally prevails, with an

as ice and pressure ranging, accord.

four tons upon every square inch OF

than 1000 feet below the surface, and
may extend to twenty times that dis
lance or even much more, down to the
bottom of the ocean. Fishes have been
dredged from below 10000 feet.
a deep sea fish, the Chiasmodus nj
ger, six and fve-eighths of an inch
long, has been found to have swal-
lowed another fish ten and a half inch
es long The stomach of the devourer
is stretched as thin as gold beater's
skin 1t has sharp, hooked teeth, which
cross each other from opposite sides Of
the mouth and usually point backward.
According to Gunther, the fish after
having seized its victim with its eapa-
cious and very movable jaws partly
presses 1T down as a snake would do
| and partly draws itself over it. The
prey is received into an esopha gus and
| stomach the membranes of which are
as eXtensible as an india rubber pouch,
The stomach when empty is contracted
| and folded up and projects but little
| below the abdomen.
| when a deep sea fish is brought to
| the surface, how gradually and careful
soever, its bones are often like SO much
touchWood and its muscles like rotten
pulp, while it's eyes are burst from It's
sockets and its yiscera are often blown
out Of the body cavity by the expan-
i sion of the air bladder. 1t frequently
happens that deep sea fishes are found
q + @ - Z q
/ floating helplessly on the surface OF
i the ocean with large prey in their
stomachs. Their appearance under
these circumstances is accounted fol
by the efforts of their struggling vic
tins to escape from their jaws, caus
i ing them to ascend beyond the horizon
tai zone which they usually inhabit.
Il 'DeeD sea fishes are commonly hlacI
or dark brown. But, although it Il
claimed that light Is essential to thu

fishes are scarlet in parts or uniform

of work he did.
His mistress was giving dinner party OF
twelve covers on certain evening. One of the
courses consisted of scaIloped oysters in silver
shells. The set of silver shells was broken
there were only eleven. The MISTRESS therefore
told the butler that she would not eat any
oysters and thus there would be just enough to
go around.

horror she did not decline it Calmly she let Il

L. r. ldso and w. j. Irvine Become

W. J. Irvine has purchased ONE
half Interest In the L. r. Idso general
store at the corner of State street and
North First avenue. The new firm,
which will be known as Idso & 1r-
vine, expects to make a number OF
important changes in the bust
ness in the near future, practically
converting the store into a department
store, making new arrangement In
the building to conform with the new
order of things and making it the most
up-to-date business house in the city
where all the wants of the household
can be supplied. These gentlemen
have had this move In view for some
time; believing that such store can
be conducted with profit to themselves
and to their customers. AS their scope
will be enlarged they will be able to
purchase cheaper In many Instances
and will thus be able to give their GUS
toners an advantage in variety to Sc
lect from and in price not enjoyed by
customers of other stores.
Mr.. Idso and Mr.. Irvine are both
we'll known in Marshalltown. Mr.. Idso
