PEcULlARITlEs OF OCTOPUS
Vacuums Formed in Arms of Danger
GUS Water Animal Make Victims
Escape Almost Impossible.

Both the octopus and the cut.
fetish have arms that are clothed
with a formidable array of suck
ers, which are wonderful pieces Of
mechanism, says the Searchlight.
When the sucker comes into con
tact with an object, the central
piston, having previously been
raised so a to completely fill the
cavity of the sucker, is at once
withdrawn and a perfect vacuum
produced, explaining the great
tenacity with which the suckers
cling. They number upward Of
100 pairs to each arm of the octO
pus, and once they obtain a griF
on the victim unless the arm IL
actually torn away from the body
of the octopus, it is practically inn
possible for its prey to disentan
gle itself.
In addition to these suckers,
the octopus has a powerful pair
of jaws, shaped like the beak OF
a parrot, behind which is a for
midable armor-plated tongue
used as a rasping organ. The

POPULAR NOTION EXPLODED
Idea That Pastors Sons Usually Go
Ruinous Route Quickest Is
Scoffed At.

1t has long been a popular no
ton that clergymen's sons are less
likely to achieve distinction in life
than the children of laymen, says
the Detroit News. This is prob.
ably due to the fact that when a
clergyman's son goes to the dogs
in a fashion that attracts public
notice his fathers calling is al
ways logged into the story, but
when the son of a lawyer or of a
member of any other profession
d~isgraces himself in a similar way
no account is taken of the rela-
tiOnship. Bishop Weldon has
proved the popular notion to be a
fallacy. In an article which he
has just published in the Fort
nightly Review, in London, he
shows that against the $40 and
$40 children of lawyers and doc
tors, respectively, who have won
eminence in English history, 1850
sons of the parsonage have at
tanned fame. The list includes
among philosophers Cudworth,
Hartley, Hobbies, Reid, Dugald
Stewart, Thomas Hill Green and
Henry Sidgwick; in art, Sir
Joshua Reynolds and Sir Christie
pher Wren; among the poets, Ben
Jonson, Fletcher, MARVEL, Otway,
Thompson. Tickell, Comper and
Tennyson; among the historians,
Allison, Fuller, Hallam, Robert
son and Froude; among the novel,
lists, Charles Kingsley.

Farmers are generally conceded TO
be the best informed of all classes of
American citizens. This is not
because they read more than otbers,
but because their reading matter is
better selected, is read under conditions
les distracting and more favorable to
recollection, and therefore is better
digested and more firmly retained.
Even in the busiest seasons, farmers
keep up with current events and know
fully as we'll as town felix's what is
going on in the world. Their families,
too, are well posted OF current events.
To supply this high grade demand for
general information, The Farmer
and Stockman, Of Kansas City, Mo,
conducts a department OF "Current
events and Comments" which briefly
sets forth all the large events of the
times, emitting minor details. This
review Of the worlds news is prepared

value to farmers and their families,
