A Curious Ear.


The catfish uses his lungs rs an or
gan of hearing. The needless lung be-
comes a closed sac filled with air and
commonly known as the swim blad-
der In the catfish, as in the suckers,
clubs and most brook fish, the air
bladder is large and is connected by a
slender tube, the remains of the ira
chea, to the esophagus At its front
it fits closely to the vertebral column.
The anterior vertebrate are much en-
larged, twisted together, and through
them passes a chain of bones, which
connects with the hidden cavity of the
air The bladder therefore assists the
ear of the catfish as the tympanum,
and its bones assist the ear of the
higher animals. An ear of this sort
can curry little range Of variety in
sound. 1t probably gives only the i'm
preston of jars or disturbances in the

Cnanued His Mind.

A gentleman who once served OH IN
irish jury tells an amusing story of his
experiences. When the hearing was
over and the jury retired to their room
to consider their verdict they found
that they stood eleven to one In favor
of an acquittal, but the one happened
to be IL very complaccnt old gentleman
who rested his chin upon the head of n
thick bamboo cane and announced de-
family that he was ready to stay there
us long as any of them.
The hours dragged ON, evening ar
rived. and the old gentleman obstinate
~ held out. The other Jurors YEARLY
arranged themselves to make night of
1t. From time to time the old gentle
man would contemplatively suck the
head of the cane.
Fina!y he fell asleep, and the cane
dropped heavily to the floor. Then one
of the 1urymen picked 1t up and found,
to his surprise that 1t was nearly full
of Irish whisky. The eleven passed
the cane round, relieved it of its con-
tents and then awakened Its sumber-
ing owner. Slowly he lifted the cane
to his mouth, looked at his watch and
then arose with the announcement,
Boys, I'm afther changin' me moind."
