Monster CLAIMS.

Those whose acquaintance with
clans extends only to little necks on
the half SHELF will be slow to think
evil of any members of so delightful Il
family. But the shy and peaceful
"little neck" has some big brothers
who vigorously resent any attempt to
pry into their personal affairs. Men
have accidentally stepped into the
open jaws of these huge clans at low
tide, and the CLANS, closing their jaws,
have held them fast until the tide
rose, when the men were drowned.
Other men have reached for lure in
the form of n luminous spot. The in
slant they touched it the shells of a
clam closed on their arms and In a
few minutes the men were drowned.
Some of these clans that trap men are
found in the coral reefs of the Pacific
and Indian oceans, and the men cap
tured are pearl divers. The flesh of
one of the huge CLAIMS sometimes
weighs twenty pounds. and added to
that are the 500 pounds or more of
she'll The shell is sometimes five feet
long by two and three-quarters feet
wide.

YayyninE Fishes.

1t is not generally known that fish
yawn. The writer saw turbot yawn
twice and q cod once, the latter being
one of the widest yawns accomplished
by any animal of it's size. The yawn
of a tJIrbot, being something not COM
monty seen, deserves particular de-
scription. 4 turbot's mouth is twisted
on one side, rather. as if 1T had be-
ionged to round fish which some one
had accidentally trod on and squashed
half fiat. The yawn begins at the lips,
which open as IL to suck in water.
Then the jaws become distended, and
it is seen that this is going TO be
real. genuine submarine fish's yawn.
But the yawn goes on, works through
the back of its head, distending the
plates of the skull, and comes out at
the gills. which open, show the red IN
side, are inflated for a moment, and
then. with a kind of stretching sh1ver
OF it's back. the fish fattens out again,
until. If unusually bored, 1t relieves
itself by another yawn.-Pearson' 8

oReVenue.v

The tendency to throw the accent on
English words as far back as possible
has gradually established the practice
of pronouncing revenue with the
stress on the first syllable. Till quite
recently, however, it was not uncom-
mon to hear the earlier revenue" and
it would be interesting to have late
instances of its literary recognition. 1t
must have been used in the house of
commons in the last generation, and it
is not yet many years since heard it
from n Scottish representative when
addressing his constituents. The prac-
tice of the eighteenth century is thus
illustrated by Young in his Love of
Fame j., 21:
When men grow great from their revenue
spent
And fly from bailiffs into parliament.
In the following stanza of his
''Ocean-An ODE" the poet gives Il
further instance of the same thing, be-
sides furnishing one of his numerous
examples of the old value assigned to
the diphthong ca:
My hours my owni
My faults unknown!
My chief revenue in contenti
Then leave one beam
OF honest flannel
And scorn the Iabored monument

Writer in Trade Paper Pays CompB-
mentary Reference to Local
Concern.

| A writer in the current issue of the
Southern Carbonator and Bother, in al
article devoted to the importance oil
preparing bottled beverages. made the
following complimentary reference to
la Rock Island concern:
Il had the pleasure of visiting a bot
| Ting shop in Rock Island, ILL., Mr..
Carse of Carse & Ohlweiler took pleas
ure in showing me the manner in which
they handle their goods The place
was as clean as a parlor. They get
their water from spring and it ap-
peared to me to be as clear as crystal,
but with all of that they forced it
through a stone filter. Then they made
their syrup with this apparently pure
crystal water, in cold process, and
then filtered the syrup into a large
tank They usually mix their syrup in
patches of 10 to 20 gallons, and after
all the different ingredients are put
into this syrup, they filter it again be-
fore it goes to the bottling table. The
average bother would have said that
any one of these filtrations would be
unnecessary ON account of the beauti- |
full, pure crystal water they first got
from the spring, and L even said the
same, but Mr.. Carse was able to con-
vince me of the improvement after each |
They have a very large
trade on pure carbonated water. Their
ginger ale trade is large, and they sell
a great deal of soda water in half-pint
bottles in towns where other bottlers
are doing business. They get the high /
est prices for their goods, and they ex-
planned to me that they could only do 1
it on account of the purity and quality
that they maintain.
Il only mention this for the benefit
Of my readers. 1t is my desire to as
sist the bother in the country who
