 pr. Ray Ferguson, who as super intendent of the Arizona Territori- al Insane Asylum, so narrowly es- capped death at the hands of a vio- lent patient, has fully recovered from his dangerous injuries and has been discharged from the sani- tarium. The doctor was attacked by patient some months ago, re- ceiving a blow on the head with an ax, suffering an injury that almost resulted fatally. He was taken to sanitarium at Kansas City for treatment, and this week his broth er-in-law, Postmaster Milton Bohall, received word that he had been discharged from the sanitarium fully recovered. Dr. Ferguson has not yet decided whether he will re- turn to Arizona or continue to re- side at his former home, Kansas City, for the present.

La Compania Zarzuela.

The Mexican Opera Company of Jesus Bueno y Diaz entertained two large audiences at the Ramirez Theater Tuesday night and Thurs day night. Tuesday night that splendid opera, "Traviata," was sung and was vociferously ap- plauded by the pleased audience. Thursday night the company rendered the musical drama, La Cara de Dios," during which it was shown that besides having nun
 Der of high class opera singers the company has among it's members actors and actresses of exceptional ability. Tuesday night Sehora Calvo as Margarita, Sefior Santa Maria as Armondo and Seior Herrera as the Marques drew round after round of applause. During the sad passages that formed part of the role of Marga- rita, Senora Calvo many times moved to tears some of the women in the audience. In the dramatic line, however, Sonora Rousselli and Sefior Herrera, may be placed be- fore the others, with the lady right fully in the lead. Their team work Thursday night as Soledad and Ramon in La Cara de Dios," was simply immense. Though the gentleman won many rounds of the demonstrations drawn by the lady were greater and every handclap was merited.
 Tonight the company will stage the beautiful opera "Caballeria Rusticana," to be followed by the short comic opera, "La Trapera."

RAYS AND SKATES.
They Arc Known 10 Fishermen az the
Jokes of the Sea,

They Arc Known TO Fishermen as tho
Jokes Of the Sea.
The rays and skates are the Jokes of
the sea. Their bodies are as fiat as
the pancakes made by the man in
white on a griddle In the window OF a
beef and" restaurant. Their eyes
look upward, and they have tails rs
slender n tapering as the whip of
a ringmaster of n circus.
In the United States the most com
mon rays nre called Skates" The
whip tailed rays because of their long.
slender tails with their erectile spines
at the end, capable of inaicting severe
and dangerous wounds, are frequently
called sting rays. The common sting
ray feeds OH oysters, clans and other
valuable mollusks and in the Atlantic
waters is known as the "clam cracker"
or the skates the commonest as well
ms the smallest species on the Atlantic
coast Is known as the tobacco box;
the largest Is aptly called the barn
door. On the western coast of the
United States is found the big skate,
which reaches Il length of six feet,
two feet larger thar its eastern rela.
tive.
Because of its habit Of rolling itself
up when caught the common skate has
been called bonnet skate" 1t Is also
know as the hedgehog ray"
On the New Jersey coast the trawl
fishermen cut off the broad, Geshy
wings" and they are sold for sad
dies" sometimes bringing X md even
10 cents n pound. These men call the
fish "possum." "sea possum" and dob.
tailed skate" AS a rule. anglers throw
the fish back into the water as being
of no value.
