per cent in the salaries of employees.
These petitions have been given care
full conside atiGl. Wearing in mind
that the company could not discrimi-
nate in favor of a few offices but that
any action taken should be general
In this connection it has been neces
sary TO consider the enormously in.
creased cost Of all kinds of telegraph
material which in many cases has
been from fifty to a hundred per cent
while the tariff rates on messages
and other traffic are very low in view
of the demands Of the public for ever
increasing facilities and more rapid
service. In fact many of these rates
are relics Of former ruinous cOmpeti-
ton and are Improbable.
Notwithstanding these facts the
company has decided TO increase the
salaries Of operators at its principal
offices throughout the country ten
per cent from March I. 1907.

the watch back when he noticed the

that he had once had mother, boo

that the road is content to put the
lower fare into effect until such
time as it can determine losses or
gains under it and then, if necessary,
take recourse to the courts.
However, it seems TO be the gen
eral trend of opinion that two cents
a mile will come to be the establish
ed fare without any further discus
sion and it is certain that if the
present service of the railways is
maintained at that charge per mile
the travelling public will benefit as
it never has before at the hands of
the legislature.

THE SEA HEDGEHOG.
II viii Swallow Air Until Ii SweIis
into Invulnsrability


Of fishes a large number are pro.
tected from hostile attack by a Gov
ering of prickles BY far the most
curious examples are the globefshes
or ''sea hedgehogs' Of the Atlantic
and IndO-Paciic oceans. The extreme
length Of the glObefish is something
less than two feet. 1t has thick liDs
and google eyes. which give it the ap-
pearance OF a good natured country
man. Courage it seems to lack. and
one might suppose that such q sim
pleton would fall an easy prey to the
first shark or dogfish it encountered.
Yet the globefish is able to take care
Of itself 1t never under any circum-
stances attacks the enemy, yet is al
ways ready to receive him in d suit
able manner should he provoke hostil-
tiles.
Let US suppose that shoal Of globe
fishes is swimming TRANQUILITY in the
clear waters when it is suddenly sur.
prised by hungry shark. OF course
the little fellows scuttle hither and
thither in uncomfortable alarm. But
the shark, posing himself upon his
powerful tail, lesurely singles out one
Of the fleeing glObefishes and sets out
in pursuit. Now, although the globe
fish is good swimmer, 1t is no match
for the shark. The chase is in every
way unequal and can have but one
ending. Within few minutes of it's
commencement the shark must over
take the globefish. But the quarry is
well aware of It's danger. 1t makes Il
bee line for the surface and as soon as
It gets there begins to take in great
gulps Of air.
Then a strange thing happens. The
fish that only q moment before was
thin and small begins to grow stouter
and stouter until, like the frog in the
fable, 1t seems in danger of bursting
1t stops initiating itself, however, just
in time to avert this catastrophe. But
its skin has become as taut as drum
head, and the whole of It's body Is COW
cred with sharp, erect prickles. 1t has
become a sea hedgehog, and the hun
CRY shark which comes surging through
the water dares not touch 1t, but turns
tail In search Of something more eata-
BILE. OF course the globetish was COW
cred with prickles all the time, but In
periods Of tranquility these lie com
fortably along its sides, just as do
those OF the hedgehog Unlike its
land prototype, however, the sea
hedgehog is unprovided with a special
muscle for erecting It's prickles. so
when danger threatens 1t has recourse
to the mechanical method of initiating
the whole body with air or with wa
ter II it cannot reach the surface
