Two of the ladies opposite were talk
ing of him. One, big thin woman
with beautiful real pearl earrings and
an exaggerated nose, the other rather
pretty young creature in red gown.
He was a vain man and weak one
but, like most of his fellow Hebrews
perfectly true to his wife.
He never fiirted, though he was ia
nous for the fowery grace of his COM
pliments.
The woman in red, the second wife
of an old jeweler, looked at him coyly.
He turned away.
His wife's fat back was turned to
him, a vast purple cushion in the
lamplght. The picture of her as she
had sat an hour before in front of her
glass in her corset and skirt came be-
fore him, and he shuddered.
She had never revolted him before
II had never occurred to him that her
lack of neatness was a defect. He was
very fond of her. He resumed his

NH ANY insects, birds, animals and
M even fish and crabs are wonder
fully clever imitators. They will
take upon themselves the color, shape
or position OF their surroundings so
perfectly that neither friend nor enemy
can discover their whereabouts.
There is a fish to be seen i'm the kelp
beds about the island of Santa Cata-
lima which has clever way of making
itself invisible The body is slender,
with pointed head and prominent
eyes. Along the back is a continuous
frill, which is the dorsal fin, while, OPP
posite, the annal fin is equally orna-
mented. The fish vary in color. Some
are amber others orange or vivid green,
while some have two hues combined,
dark and light green or olive and yell
low. These peculiarities of form and
color render the fish marVelously like
the kelp leaves among which it seeks
protection.
A number of these fish We're placed

exactly like rough stone. When it is
alarmed it draws up its legs and ap-
pears a bit of inanimate stone.
Several deep sea spiders which had
been found at a depth of 800 feet were
kept in a tank for several weeks. When
taken from the dredging net they were
dark brown, though presumably the
spot where they came from was so
dark that they could scarcely have been
seen. Yet even this type of apparently
sluggish life had sufficient intelligence
to realize that in the light of the tank
it was a conspicuous object, so 1t began
to add seaweed to its back. The sea-
weed was plucked, then passed TO the
mouth and finally attached, not to the
back, but to the point Of the shell above
the mouth so that it fell over the back
like a gorgeous plume, making the
crab very conspicuous. But when 1t
was startled the plume Of seaweed
would point upward and the crab would
become a rock with tuft of seaweed
growing upon it, well calculated to de-
ceive the most observing enemy.

nothing on earth more lovely than the
girl as she was at that moment, glow
ing and dimpling, thrown into relief
as 1t were, against the background OF
Clara, old, fat and ugly.
He moved uneasily in his chair. Yes,
Clara, poor thing, had grown old and
ugly. Suddenly, too. Nearly as sud-
denly as Rosie had expanded into
beautiful womanhood under his eyes.
He laughed as he realized that he had
hardly observed the working of time
on his good Clara. He had not
thought her pretty; he had simply
ceased to notice her looks.
In everything but looks she was un-
changed She was the same lazy,
good d-hearted. untidy, affectionate soul

rainy day. Above the counter a single

where they might be observed. They
showed great uneasiness, some of them
even leaping from the tank. Another
tank was prepared where the natural
surroundings of the fish were initiated
as nearly as possible. A branch of
macrocystis, with leaves hanging in
the water, was suspended over the
tank. The most uneasy of the fish
were placed in the new home and their
change of feeling was soon evident,
One swan at once to the kelp leaves

fish made no further effort to escape.
Another inhabitant of the kelp beds

the under side of the kelp tangles.

him ever since she was years old,
and he loved her. he thought, as if
she had been his own child. Clara
had always deeply regretted that they
had no children, but he had been quite
as well pleased as matters stood. The
girl was affectionate, clever and very
fond of both her uncle and her aunt.
Meantime time had flown by on the
unnoticed wings of weeks months and
years, and the child had become a
woman. He had not realized it. 1t
was the suddenness of the discovery,
he told himself as he sat in his shop
the day after the Lewis entertainment
which had so shocked and upset him.
When she had come into the room to
ask his wife to hook her gown she was
like another creature to him. And she
was beautiful. No. He could imagine

Only poor Clara had grown old. She
had left him behind in the race toward
old age which we all must run. He
was still young. He jerked up his
highly glazed collar and ran his broad,
white hand over his smooth hair. "Mr.

smile. He looked at his watch. 1t was

than it is here, although the United

Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Switz-

faction in the statistical evidence that
illiteracy is steadily being reduced.
In 1890 the number of illiterates per
