muscular member of much strength
1t has two siphon tubes, n to TAXI
in food and another to eject waste
swimmer, the busy teredo attaches
itself to whatever wood it may en-.
counter and then gets busy on its
life work of destruction.
1t might be mentioned that this
dangerous and queerly conceived
ment is no larger than a pins head,
Later it grows and the hols it makes
in the wood is correspondingly large.
incidentally, as the animal spends
the rest of its life in the wood, it dis
penses with its eyes, they being use
less to it. To show that it is malic-
iously destructive, Mr.. Potter says
it does not eat the wood it bores,
but feeds or more minute forms of
animal life. In waters ~hereabouts
the developed teredo is three and
four inches in size as a rule, but in
the tropics it reaches a length of ten
inches, and even grows in some cases
to three feet in size. With all its
terrible attributes, however, a three
footer is gentle enough and will not
attack human beings, but he is not
desirable as a hous pet. Taken seri-
ously, however, the scarcity of the
teredo ~hereabouts is one of decided
importance to the engineering fra
ternity as hitherto in many con-
crete piers have been built at great
only because of the short
life of wooden piers in these waters
and because of the danger of their
becoming undermined and causing
accidents. officials at the New York
aquarium confirm the statement that
the teredo is fast disappearing from
these waters, where, a few years ago,
they were plentiful enough to salts
fly the requirements of the most ar
dent naturalist who wished to study
them.
Pier and dock owners along the
Passaic river confess to Ignorance
concerning the teredo. They most
of them never heard of him by that
name although they know full well
that there are forms of marine life
that destroy woodwork under water.
No one could be found last week who
had observed any change in the life
of piling along the river since the
introduction of large quantities of
sewage. One man whose business
keeps him close to the riverside SAID
he was of the opinion that piling last
ed longer than it used to, but he had
no definite facts on which to base his
statement. He was tsrongly in
clined to believe all underwater
construction in these waters must be
free from any and all ravages of ma
rine life since he could not believe
that anything could live in water so
polluted.

NovELLI SCORES
IN THIS CUNTR

Ermete Novelli, the great Italian
actor, under Shubert management,
appeared at the Majestic theatre,
Boston, on March 4. The New York
engagement opened March IS.
1t was Novelli's special wish that
he should make his American debut
in Boston, considering it an omen Of
good luck that his first appearance
should occur at the home of the great
American bean.
This may appear to be in the nat
ure of a joke, but in point of fact it is
a serious reality. A pot of beans
borV an important part in Novelli's
early days. In 1866 Novelli and his
father were acting together, and ar
ring at a little village in Italy named
Agostino Ferrarese, found themselves
stranded. An engagement was offer
ed them at a little place named Via
dana. AS father and son We're with
out funds it was necessary that they
should reach the next town on foot.
Young Novelli suggested that his
father, being an old man, should re-
main behind and he should go on
ahead and secure sufficient advance
from the manager at Viadana to
bring him on. Arriving at Viadana,
he discovered an old gentleman with
a faded yellow hat, and. with The
voice of the blood OWNED that this
ancient parsonage was a son of Thes-
pts.
He approached him and found that
he was correct in his augury. He
found that the old gentleman was
Gordoni who happened TO be the faith
er of Silvia Gordoni, the coincidence
of the theatre where he expected an
engagement. Gordoni politely con-
scented to take young Novelli to the
playhouse and introduce him to the
management. When he arrived at
the playhouse it was discovered that
the two families, the Mazzaroni and
de Sanctis, who made up the conf
pany, were engaged in a violent quar-
rel ocasioned by professional jeal-
ousy.
Young Novelli was introduced into
their midst, but not desiring to carry
on their alteration before him, went
into another room. When they had
gone he discovered in the centre of
the table a large dish of steaming
beans, which happened TO be the eve
ming repast for both families. With
''eyes on beans and ears on quarrel
Novelli stood between hunger and
honesty for several minutes. Hunger
got the upper hand, and so he de-
voured the entire pot of beans. The
effect on him was very disastrous. 1t
made him very i'll. He could not
escape, for to do so he must pass
through the room where the quarrel
was going on. Finally the two fam
lilies returned and discovered that
young Novelli had entirely consumed

FREAKS OF THE SEA.

"The fact that over o million II a
half persons passed through its doors
during the past year, nearly five
thousand daily. stamps it as easily
the most popular show place in the
world" writes Lillian e. Zeh, de-
scribing the New York aquarium in
the March number of the Technical
World Magazine. "It was turned
over to the management of the New
York Geological Society two years
ago. Through the courtesy of Mr..
Townsend, the director, and Mr.. w.

their evening repast. Were it not
that he was painfully i'll, he after
ward said, he feared that he would
have forfeited his life in consequence
OF eating the beans. There was some
acting and a good deal of truth in the
horrible groans which he let forth.
The fame of the Boston bean has
reached Italy, and 1t was with joy
that the great Italian actor learned
that his season would open at the
headquarters of the bean in America.

PLAYING GOLF IN THE SOUTH

PLAYING GOLF IN THE SOUTH,
Probably to most northern golfers
such a phrase as "golf in the SOUTH
conveys the idea merely of winter
golf. 1t has in the past been general
ly assumed that such golf as exists
below Mason and Dixon's line is pro-
vided by the peripatetic golfer of the
north and ives. When snow and ice
put the northern courses out of COM
mission the ardent golfer is still de-
termined to play his favorite game.
He loses no time in packing his grip,
and with his well used clubs he seeks
the winter resort courses of the south,
where he knows that golf of a certain
kind can still be had. In South Caro-
lima, in Georgia, and in Florida, are
numbers of courses which are thrown
open to, or perhaps, 10 speak more
accurately, exist because of. the pat
ronage of the winter visitor. Courses
of this kind with a hotel attached to
them, were the first to be made in the
south, after the golf mania had been
carried thither from the north ten
years ago. But what were called
golf courses then were in many cases
only styled SO by courtesy. From
the first tee to the last green, some
of them were one vast continuous
hazard, but the easily satisfied golf
ers of those days bravely used their
niblicks from tee to tee, and thanked
the man who invented that forcible
but necessary club.
1t was not long before a complete
change took place. All the large
cities of the south saw the game and
were captivated by its allurements-
so that in a few years golf courses
sprang up in every southern state.
They were not hotel or winter resort
clubs, but permanent, all the year
round organizations with handsome
club houses such as northern and
western golfers are accustomed
