QUEER ORIENTAL SAIL FISH

One of the most interesting of fish
of Japanese waters is the oriental
sail fish (Histiophorus orientalis)
The generic name, given by DR.. Gun
ther, means the sail bearer, and re-
fers to the huge dorsal fin possessed
by the species.
The fin stands higher than the body
above it and is used as a sail before
the wind. 1t is a large fish ten feet
in length and weighing 164 pounds
They swim about usually in pairs in
rough and windy weather with the
huge fins above the water.
1t is favorite food fish and the
annual catch is nearly 100000
pounds. The sail fish is caught by
means of harpoon.
Another food fish known as a dol
phin or dorado is sometimes caught in
a curious way. The fishes congregate
under a decoy bush and raft made of
bamboos, and are then caught by
hooks baited with squids. Or the
decoy bush is surrounded by seine
net and the dolphins are driven by
beating the surface of the water with
sticks. This fish is eaten both fresh
and salt and is as great a favorite in
western Japan as the salmon is in the
northwest.

ELECTRICITY IN FISH.

Those finny things which secure
their food by means of the electric
batteries with which nature has fitted
them are somewhat remarkable. The
gympotus, or electric eel, of South
America is probably the best known
of these. 1t has four batteries, which
extend nearly the whole length of it's
body. The current passes from front
to back, and, remarkable to relate, eX-
tends through the animals own brain
Some large ones, from six to eight
feet in length, have been known to
kill horse or a mule outright with a
single discharge.
The thundertlsh. a species of Afri-
can catfish, was even in ancient times
highly recommended by doctors for
certain troubles, and the torpedo, or
electric ray, exhibits all the known
powers of electricity, rendering the
needle magnetic, decomposing chemi-
cal compounds and emitting the
spark.

SEISMOGRAPH is SENSITIVE.

Seismometers, or seismographs, as
they are more generally termed, are
instruments for detecting or measur-
ing the earthquake shock or wave.
Some of the modern ones are extreme
ly delicate and sensitive, SO sensi-
tive, in fact, according to Milne, that
if the solid column of masonry COM
municating with the rocky floor be
pressed with the hand, the seismo
graph which rests on the masonry
will be affected, and the horizontal
boom or pendulum will be set in rap
id vibration. If two Milne seismo-
graphs provided with horizontal pen
delums be put on high buildings op-
posite each other on one of London S
traffic streets when crowded with
heavy drays, they will show that the
tops of the buildings bend over slight
ly toward each other.

John street residents rather pride
themselves on their nearness to the
aristocratic square where the duke OF
Norfolk. Lord Avebury, better known
as Sir John Lubbock, and other lead
ing lights of the nobility live and
move and have their being.
The loss of John street will not be
greatly felt by the postoffice authori-
ties, considering the fact that there
still are 1872 John streets in the Lon
don directory. Nearly every district
has one or TWO John streets, and some
have four or five. This strange state
of affairs is due to the fact that Lon
don has grown up by the merging of
a lot of separate villages, and, in the
early days, each village. of course,
named its streets irrespective of other
nearby hamlets. Thus, you will find
scattered all over London number of
High streets, which simply means
that when that particular section COM
posed a village it had it's High" or
Main" street Where in America the
principal thoroughfare of a town is
called Main" street, the term High"
is used in England, as it is the prin-
cipal highway through the village.
This multiplication of street names
often leads to great confusion, espe-
cially for Americans and other tour
lists stopping in London for short
time Hence, it is most important
that street names should be addition
ally identified by the mention of their
proximity to larger thoroughfares.
Also the direction in which they lie
from the city of London proper u.s.
ually is apprehended, such as IS. W."
for southwest, "E. c." for east central,
and so forth. If one simply addresses
letter to High street, the chances
are that the missive literally will box
the compass" before it reaches it's
| proper destination.

by an Arkansas man. With his
chest there is no excuse for a person
not taking his medicine on time or for
getting the medicines mixed. The
cabinet consists of a stand with two
little drawers at the upper corners
and a desk portion on top. In front
of the desk portion is little door,

Our Domestic Animals
BY w. ;. HAMPTON. L

Our most domestic animal is the
cat. Some authorities contend that
the dog has first place, but their con-
tention is weak because a great many
dogs do not live in the house at all,
while cat that can't live in the house
quits the inhospitable place and goes
TO somebody's house that it can live
in. Will any faunal naturalist, from
Nairobe to the north pole, say that
dog will act thus? If he will, he is
nature faker, not to use shorter and
uglier word
The family line of the cat is feline,
and it is divided into two great class
es. the tom and the puss, the tom be-
ing masculine and the puss feminine.
They have equsI rights. There are no
suffragettes -mong cats, though there
may be CO IS among suffragettes, and
when ths y meet to discuss questions
of con3r Ion interest all have a voice
and al use it without stint Whiskers
also are worn by both sexes, but the
muEtache is tabooed. Race suicide is
frc yned up by the entire community.
