American Fishing Rights
Should Be Defined.

; Press dispatches from Vera Cruz
] convey the information that American
fishing vessels have been noticed in
Mexican waters and that Mexican war
vessels have the smacks under sur
VIGILANCE and will probably make other
seizures in the near future.
The question Of the right to fish
in waters Of the Gulf Of Mexico is
vitality important to the cities on the
Gulf coast Of the United States and
the Jurisdiction OF Mexico should be
settled without unnecessary delay.
. Pensacola alone has thousands Of dol
lars invested in the industry and if
the smacks sailing from this port are
not allowed TO fish in the waters Of
Campeche bay, as they have done IN
the past, It will result in serious loss
TO the business Of this port, to say
nothing Of the loss to the individual
owners Of the vessels.
From the statements Of the men on
board the smacks from Pensacola, Mo
bile and Galveston which were cap
tured and taken to Vera Cruz, it would
seem that the Mexican government has
acted in a rather high handed man.
ner, and under the circumstances the
United States would be justified in at
least demanding that the government
Of Mexico ajudicate the cases imme-
diately in order that its citizens who
are interested in the fishing business
may know exactly what their rights
are in the premises.
Ii has been stated that the cases
would hang fire in the Mexican courts
for several years before being finally
disposed of, and it has even been in
timated that the decision in the cases
had already been settled upon. If this
Is true 1t represents a form Of Justice
that is anything but acceptable to a
citizen of this enlightened country.
and it should form the basis for dipIo-
matte representations to the Mexican
government The matter should not
be allowed 10 drop just because the
Mexican government evidences a dis
position to be a little bull-headed.

LIVING SKELETONS.
INTERESTING WONDERS OF NATURE

that he is slowly starving to death.
OF phantom shrimps and skeleton deep
sea spiders we have not space to write
in detail. A glance at a shrimp will
give the reader some Idea of the appear
ance Of one of the most remarkable ami
mails ever produced IN Natures workshop.
1t looks for all the world Ike a few
sharp pointed bones strung together on
a string, and It's edible qualities seem
even at first glance absolutely non
existent. Many other Instances might be
cited. Certain kinds OF star fishes look
like five small backbones tied together.
and they are far more ike skeletons than
living. moving things which eat and re-
produce their kind. Yet It is just this
very lifeless aspect that Is OF advantage
to the sea stars, for they frequent sea
weed, and when crawling about among
it they look like fronds OF algae swaying
with the movements Of the water. Space
allows US to examine only two OF many
living skeletons which dwell upon the
land. The first of these IS q big stick"
insect from rhe tropics.
In appearance It is as much a skele-
ton as the dead branch Of tree; yet Il
has within it all powers Of life It
eats. it moves, It reposes and It brings
young stick Insects into the world
When we inquire into the reason Of Its
skeleton aspect we find that the answer
is once more protection" These Insects
are vegetable feeders. well suited TO be-
come the food OF birds and reptiles More
over their habits are slow. while their
exposed position among the rwigs OF
trees when feeding upon the leaves ren-
ders them very liable to attack. Thus
their extraordinary skeleton aspece Is o.
real value to them IN making them look
exactly ike the dead sticks with which
they are surrounded. Finally, we may
glance at one Of those curious creatures
the harvest spiders. It's small body and
long legs insure that It will be az in
conspicuous as possible where spider-est-
ing birds are concerned: but the reason
for the special shape OF its two back
pairs Of legs IS not obvious at first We
see first pair of long arms with grasp
ing claws at the ends Then another
pair of arms with long flexible streamers.
These arrangements. probably. have q
direct bearing upon the spiders method
OF obtaining a meal. It sits waving ita
streamers in the air Small nies won

The storehouse Of Nature is full OF
wonders and not the least remarkable
of these are her living skeletons. We all
know that In the majority Of instances
it Is very desirable that an animal should
be and appear to be plump. strong and
healthy. But there are exceptions which
prove this rule. Just occasionally an
animal is better equipped for the battle
of life II its aspect is gaunt and phantom
ike Some Of the most interesting skele-
tons are found in the sea. Veritable ef-
hgies of death, for instance. are some Of
those quaint fishes known as the sea
horses. Sea horses are found IN many
seas. but by far the most amazing repre-
sentative of this very remarkable group
Is the Australian sea horse.
We ind that it spends its time among
floating seaweed. anchoring itself TO
stalk by means OF Its flexible tail. which
It can use in the able fashion SO char
acterIstic of monkeys. In this position
it lies in wait for any scraps or small
fry which the current may, to speak in
nautical terms, wash across It's bows
And its appearance IS so exactly calcu-
lated to harmonic with its surroundings
that the big ocean fishes, which would
eat It up did they but catch sight of It
pass by without ever suspecting its pres
ence. It is so spiny and bony. and the
long streamers trailing IN the water aud
swayiEg gently IN the current appears
to be so many living froDds of seaweed-
Thus we see that the Australian sea
horse is most admirably dressed for the
part it has to play. and that its skeleton
like aspect is really its chief protection.
great many ocean jewellers gain pro
lection in exactly the same manner as
that described above. There Is the
skeleton crab which Is not infrequentiy
brought up by British fishermen in their
nets The skeleton crab is useless for
marketing, so back he is tumbled into
the briny deep. and thus very few iands-
men have any notion that he exists at
all. His complexion is pale and wan
as BELTS his extreme aspect Of emacia-
ton. His body is only the size of a
nickel. yet he requires a great deal OF
standing room. for his thin legs. of which
he has eight besides his pair Of pincers,
are amazingly long. He frequents the
sea bottom in deeplsh water. and likes
to Turk in weedy spots where his long
legs look like stalks and his small body
is hidden from prying eyes Here he
waits for his dinner to float to him with
the tide, and as we know that all things
come to him who waits we may be
sured that the skeleton crab gets his
dinner albeit his appearance suggests
