MARINE LEAPERS.
The Tuna Is the Most Graceful of the
Jumpers of the Sea.

The Tuna Is the Most Graceful of the
Jumpers of the Sea.
Many of the inhabitants of the sea
are good jumpers and some have be-
come famous. Among them should be
mentioned the tarpon or silver king, a
huge fish with scales that CLEAN like
silver, which constitutes the famous
game fish of Florida. The leaps of this
beautiful creature are often astonish-
ing. Several years ago a steamer was
rushing down the st. Johns river. The
captain was sitting on the fore deck,
leaning against the pilot house, when
suddenly there rose in the air beauti-
full shining fish four feet in length. 1t
came on like an arrow and landed in
the lap Of the captain as neatly as
though it had been placed there.
In the Pacific waters the tuna, an
ally Of the horse mackerel, is noted
for its leaps. Sometimes a school
sweeps up the coast and the powerful
fish, often weighing 800 pounds, are
seen in the air in every direction. They
are like an arrow, turn gracefully five
or six feet in the air and come down,
keeping the water for acres in foam,
and If not the greatest jumpers they
are certainly the most graceful of the
leapers of the sea-

STARS FOR voYAGERs.
Mine Used by NavigatOrs to Place &
Ships Location.

SmAp'S AOcatAOhs
There are nine eminent nautical
stars considered by navigatOrs. They
are important as determining the po-
sition Of the ship at the time the OBJ
servat1on is taken calculated by their
distance from the moon. The stars are
Alpha, Arietis, the principal star Of
Aries, but of the second grade; Aide
barar, first magnitude, in the rich as
terision Of Taurue, easily distinguished
by its red color; Pollux, second magni-
tude, in Gemini, readily known by its
companionship with the brighter Cas-
tor; Regulus, first class star in the
breast Of Leo (hence often called Cor
Leonis, the Lions Heart; Spica Vir-
ginis, q first class star in Virgo, re-
markably conspicuous from being in
sulated in a dark surrounding field:
Alpha AQuilae, generally known as
Affair, first magnitude; Alpha Pegasi,
second class, usually termed Narkab;
Antares, first magnitude, in Scorpi0,
distinguished by its fiery red color;
Fomalhaut, first class, in Piscis Aus
trails. These stars are conveniently
situated with reference to the moons
path and are used for taking tables OF
lunar distances by makers Of nautical
almanacs in order to enable vessel
masters to deduct their longitude. The
distances of the center of the moon
from some of the nine conspicuous
stars near the ecliptic are computed
with the utmost care for every three
hours during the year at Greenwich.

A Humble Archbishop.

Willegis, a famous archbishop Of
Mentz, rose to that elevated position
from the very lowest ranks. He was
the son of poor carter, but was never
ashamed of his parentage. He not only
caused the following inscription to be
placed conspicuously in his palace,
''Willegis, remember thy parentage,"
but had the wheels of a cart hung up
in the Cathedral Of Mentz. From that
time to this the arms Of the see have
borne the figure Of cart wheel.

An act of parliament, passed In the
reign Of George III. and which is still
In force, exempts members of the ye0-
many from the ballot for the militia.
allows them to ride through toll bar
when in uniform without paying and
also relieves them from the tax on
powder for the hair. Such privileges
were highly valued in 1904, when the
act was passed; but, as yeomen are
not now liable for the militia ballot.
as toll bars have been abolished and as
hair powder is no longer in request,
these favors have ceased to have any
practical value. Nevertheless, they still
exist.-LOndon Mail.

It was made at dinner at Benedetti's

poleon was present, from whom Olli-

remark made by the prince, Bismarck
exclaimed: "They are always talking
of England! What does England
amount to, anyway? A nation exists
only by the number Of soldiers it can
furnish. How many soldiers has Eng
land? Perhaps 10000, or at most 1OO,-

A READING ROOM NECESSARY

Throughout the various towns of
the county there are periodic, and more
or less violent agitat'ons for the abo-
lition of saloons and other public re-
sorts. There is one phase of the ques-

sight, and that is the making of pro-
vision for some sort of substitute for
these public places.
A solution of the problem is offered
the citizens of Pullman by some of
the young men of the college, who
propose the establishment of a place
where young men can find profitable
entertainment. The college Young
