Electric Fish of the Nile.

The electric fish of the Nile, of
which the Egyptians made pic
lures thousands Of years ago and
which still inhabit the waters Of
that river, are provided with an
electrical organ that incloses the
whole body. 1t is situated in the
skin and when viewed with a
microscope is seen to be composed
of about 100000 beautifully
formed little disks superposed
upon connected rows Of minute
Compartments in which are the ter
minals of nerves. The shock is
produced by an intense current
which traverses the entire organ
from the head to the tail of the
fish, returning through the sur
roundings. 1t stuns small fish in
the neighborhood. A naturalist
likens its action to that Of a self
loading and self discharging gun.
The electromotive force of the or
gan in a fish only eight inches long
can, he asserts, attain the surpris-
ing maximum of. 200 volts. A sin
gle giant nerve cell at the head Of
the spinal column is the source of
the impulses which discharge the
organ.

SHOE BUCKLES.
Picturesque and Costly Craze of the
Eighteenth Century.

Once on a time your shoe was
nothing without the buckle In
deed, it was a case of the 'tail wag-
ging the dog" for the buckle was
the attraction and the shoe but the
accompaniment. Be it observed
that at first, however, it was not
the size, but the costliness of the
buckle, which was conspicuous.
Thus among royalties, people Of
high rank and those who were the
glass of fashion and the mold Of
form at court wore diamonds.
Needless to say that then, as now,
those who desired to initiate them
wore paste buckles, happy perhaps
in that self complacency which i'm
AGNES nobody else shrewd enough
to estimate possibilities.
In 1920 a leader of fashion would
wear a full flowing curled wig
reaching in ringlets halfway down
the back and arms, a laced coat cut
straight, with buttons put on in
every possible place-thereby, by
the way, affording a remarkable
similarity to the "pearlies" of the
popular and up to date costermon-
ger-and square toed black shoes,
with an enormous flap on the in
step, high heels and on the flap a
small but brilliant buckle. Next
to the buckle of brilliants came
that of gold. Rich landowners
and equally rich merchants, men
whose reputation for being warm"
or, in the then recent Alsatian
fashionable slang, "rhinocerial,"
quite obsolete synonym for mon
eyed - was universal, wore gold
buckles larger than the diamond
ones, but still small in proportion
to the flaps.
Your thriving shopkeepers wore
buckles of silver and your opulent
farmers those of shining steel, and
the poorer classes had buckles of
brass OF iron, but Of some material
every one wore buckles on the
shoes. Indeed, so wide reaching
was the depreciation in buckle
makers work when, at the epoch
of the French revolution, people in
general followed "Roland the
Just's" example and took to shoe
ribbons that the buckle makers ac-
tually, in their desperation, petit
toned George III. and parliament
that shoe ribbons should be forbid
den under penalties, clamoring for
a renewal Of the sumptuary laws
of Plantagenet and Tudor, with an
inability to read the signs
of the time. A spasmodic attempt
was made by the princes and their
encourage to benefit the buckle
makers by wearing buckles as os-
tentatiously as possible, but rib
bons, decidedly far more unpictur-
esque, though much more practical,
carried the day.-St. James Ca

A Story of Dr.. Mitchell.

The following anecdote is told of
DR.. Weir Mitchell: While on one
of his foreign trips he decided to
consult very eminent German spe-
cialist regarding a nervous disease
Of his own Of long standing. The
two men had never met before, so
he sent up his card as "Mr. Mitchell
of Philadelphia" and was received
by the German under this title.
The physician examined him very
carefully and then said, "My dear
sir, do you say you come from Phil
adelphia!"
The doctor was forced to admit
the iniquity.
"Well," said the physician, "have
you consulted DR.. S. Weir Mitchell
of that city,"
The doctor said that he had.
"And he couldn't help you"
No." was the answer.
"Then," said the doctor, remov-
ing his spectacles with an air Of
fnality, "1'm afraid can't do any
thing for you"

WALTZ OF THE OSTRICH.
The Big Bird Shows Its Good Spirits
by Strenuous Dancing.

ny OhISnuOuS DdnSin9s
The so called Waiting perform
ance of the ostrich is familiar to
all in South Africa, but few out
siderS have ever heard Of it. 1t
consists of a rapid whirling move
ment, sometimes one way, some
times another, the wings spread out
and alternately elevated and de-
pressed. 1t is a fascinating sight
when INDUCED in by large flock.
First one bird will dart forward
and begin the circular movements.
Another will follow and then 9th
ers until the entire flock is careen-
ing around in the mad whirl. Some
will continue until they drop ex-
hausted or, apparently becoming
giddy, stumble and fall.
The dance is seen in all its glory
only when a considerable number
of birds are together. 1t often
takes place among only few, but
is never so intense or prolonged as
when the flock is large.
Chicks only a month or two old
engage in the amusement, though
they are rather clumsy and some
times stumble, particularly when
they are reversing. As they grow
older they perform several COM
plete turns with great facility,
though even adult birds sometimes
stumble and break their legs in
falling.
This gay behavior is no doubt
instructive, and, as with other in
stincts, it is perfected by expert
ence. Ostrich chicks begin the
whirl even when reared away from
other ostriches and without having
seen the performance. The South
Africans have the following theory
of the significance of this playful
activity:
The wild ostrich can protect it
self against lions and leopards in
no other way than by flight. When
chased by a beast Of prey the os-
trich, starting to run, twists and
turns in a curious fashion and
jerks SO quickly from side to side
that no beast would be likely to
have time to set himself for
spring in one direction before the
bird had changed its course.
Ostriches thus pursued have been
seen to stop at full speed, turn as
if pivoted and flee again in almost
the opposite direction. Probably
no other animal can do this.
The South Africans believe that
the instructive waltzing movement
of the ostrich is useful in perfect
ing the bird in the art of suddenly
twisting and turning, which is most
likely to assist it to elude its nat
ural enemies, the larger carnivora.

FACTORY READERS.
Cuban cisarmakers Are Entertained
While They Work.

Work in a Cuban cigar factory Of
the best class is agreeably spiced
with entertainment. According to
the Cuba Review and Bulletin, not
only does every cigarmaker have
plenty of light and air, leather
covered chair to sit on and the
privilege of keeping his hat on
while he works, but he is enter
tanned meanwhile with serial sto-
ries and newspapers, song and dis
cussion.
The factory reader sits at the
rear of the workroom, enthroned
upon an elevated stand. He is paid
from the private funds of the cigar
makers, the cost to each man rang
ing from 10 to Is cents a week.
This covers the cost Of the books,
novels and newspapers, as well as
salary of 500 which is paid the
president of the reading committee
to make up for the time he is sup
posed to lose from his work while
engaged in counting votes or max
ing the weekly collection.
The readers earn from $40 to
$50 a week, reading for a period Of
three or four hours a day. AS a
rule, each factory has two readers,
and newspapers are taken up in the
morning and books or serial stories
in the afternoon.
The selection of the book or serial
story to be read is an interesting
feature. II takes the character of
a political election, each man vot-
ing for the book he wants. The
president of the reading committee
counts the votes and announces the
winning book, which is forthwith
bought and placed in its turn to be
read.
Those who cannot read or write
are yet kept informed in this way
on public questions and are able to
discuss intelligently problems Of
national and municipal interest.
They seem to be well informed on
scientific discoveries and other mat

Warned by His Whiskers.

Of what use are a cats whiskers ?
Are they merely to give puss hand
some, martial appearance, or have
they a distinct use? The latter is
the case. They are organs Of touch,
each one being connected with the
nerves of the lip, says Answers. The
slightest contact of these whiskers
with any object is therefore felt by
the animal, although the hairs them
selves are insensible:~ When a lion
is stealing through the jungle his
whiskers warn him of any obstacle
which may retard his progress or of
any bush which might rustic If he
touched it in passing. So his whisk-
ers, in conjunction with his pad
ded feet, enable him to move
through the thickest growth with a
deadly silence.
