with this there is the set OF eight tentacles,
which possess grips of iron and are lined under
meath with suckers" which, when in working
order, form a vacuum over the OBJECT gfasped
and thus insure a firm hold.
So firm is this grasp that story tellers of sever
al decades ago were fond of dropping the treas
ure-hunting hero into the hold of the sunken
galleon and there bump him up against the ter
rible devil-fsh which had thwarted all human
wiles and for umpty hundred years been the
guardian of the dons loot" The hero always
won and captured the coin, being dragged to the
surface unconscious.
There have been one or two cases where the
outtlefish has made its home within the cabins
Of sunken ships. In in particular off
the northern coast of South America it is told
that dev-fsh killed three divers who descend
ed to lay plans for raising the ship. AS each
man was brought to the surface dead from
which none of his mates could guess, an
other was sent to take his place. Finally the
trouble was suspected and the last sent
down gave explicit instructions about being
brought to the surface upon the faintest tug at
the guide line. After numerous trips up and
back he succeeded in dislodgng the creature
by cutting off its one by one Deprived of
it's arms, it fled and no further trouble was ex-
perienced.
Perhaps the most uncanny sight which ever
befalls the devil-ish hunters is when, on clear
day, the denizens of the deep may be the
bottom walking along with the aid of their
tentacles, which used as feet. On land, it is
recorded, this is a physical impossibty for the
fish, but buoyed up by the water of many faith
oms, it's easy.
Though absolutely the most dangerous of crea-
lures of the sea, it is said the devilfsh displays
greater fear of human attack than any of the
other species The first when assailed is
to try to grab the hunters with two more of
the long arms that stretch out occasion de-
mands. Failing in this the fish will attempt to
get away under of the nky "sepia" but
when caught with the harpoon and it finds there
is no apparent escape the real tug of
and the struggles are never ended until
the quarry ceases quivering in death Then the
cables which hold the harpoons lashed to the
stern of the craft and the sailors turn the
sells towards home, the most welcome part
of the voyage.
Study the habits and origin of the cuttlefsh
is one of the most interesting which any scen-
tist attempted. The fish propagated
by means of eggs. The tiny creature at first has
only tentacle, which, when it grows older
gradually divides into two and then into four

upon investigation find that devl-fsh cuttle-
fish was trying to bite off a corner of the rudder
Numerous cases of the fish attempting and sue
ceeding in towing ten-ton sloops for miles have
been recorded in the annals Of the industry. The
devfishers always compelled to put up hot
fight against this animal of the sea. The intend
ed quarry will pull them far out of their course
after the first harpoon has stung his hide and
it takes two and sometimes three of them be-
fore the catch be brought close enough to
the sloop to allow the gunner to place shot in
vital spot.
The fish must be continually worried it
will descend to the bottom to rest, in which
it usually takes the boat, and apparatus
with it.
A story is told of boat crew which had not
had devil-fish strike for two days until finally
the harpoon expert on the bowsprit mbedded
his instrument of torture within the vitals of
of the monsters. The creature, of course, went
through the formality of turning the water there
ab0uts into delicate black this being one of the
traits of the species when attacked. This done
the devil-fsh started for home, which was the bot
tom of the gulf The harpoon expert hated to
let CO. on account of strikes being few and the
boat crew and harpoonist also began the descent
in inky darkness. The craft being provided with
air tanks at each end, the harpooned had some
job on his hands, and when down in the sea
about 20 feet, near as the mariners could
figure, the eightarmed namesake of the American
trust gingerly climbed into the boat with the
who we're seeking his life-blood. 1t being
dark the fishermen did not perceive his presence
Once more at the surface, however and there
miniature fire panic. Regaining his pres
ence of mind however, the harpoonist put an out
drop on his second throw and put an end to the
pranks of the fish. That tale has been called
"just fish story" but there are three deep sea
fishermen to-day who vouch for the truth of
portion of it and they still ply that trade on the
coast of the gulf. But when the devil-fsh
starts for home, they let him go.
The manta, the creature is called by sci
ence, is to be found as far north on the Atlantic
coast as the Carolinas and in those waters some
of the largest of this class of sea creatures have
been One caught on the Atlantic coast
several years ago required three yoke of oxen to
drag it from the and it's weight was estimated
at four tons.
Usually the devil-hsh measures from 20 to %
feet across its back when full grown and one
mariner the Pacific coast reported that he had
estimated to be 40 feet which eye measure
ment of course is within the realm of possibility.
The creature has two well defined plans Of de-

often told of the battles which they have seen IN
clear water between these warriors of the brlny
deem but accounts telling of the victors are scarce.
Along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico the sharks
show their delight at the plight of the deVil-hsh
when caught by following in its bloody wake and
with wide-open jaws, seeking bite here OF tnere
from the carcass At night along the coast they
fight in the water for the opportunity to consume
the dead devilfsh after the fishermen have fin
ished with him.
All in all devilfshing is the most thrilling, most
hazardous most enhancing method of angling
which has ever been discovered for the creature Is
doubtless the craftest of the inhabitants of the
tropical waters. And the man who goes after the
scalp of the dev-fsh while he is not armed with
modern accoutrements is taking his own life in
his hand. The plain hardware store hatchet with
the short handle is declared to be the best weapon
of defense in close quarters and dozens of lives
have been saved simply because the parties at
tackled were equipped with hatchets and knew
how when and where to use them upon the an
atomy of the dangerous fish.

UNCLE SAM SEEKS STAMP vENDER.

Will the time come when Uncle Sam can
dispense with letter carriers? The increasing use
of the automobile. the pneumatic tube and me-
chanical devices in the postal service would indi
cate that eventually some method of delivering
mail will be found which will, in a large measure
do away with the present system of distribution
The postofice department has an annual appro
priaton which is used to experiment with mechan
cal devices, and every year the officials are called
upon to investigate the practicability and utility
of inventions. There have been hundreds of differ
ent styles of mail boxes submitted, and there is
no end of devices designed for picking up mail
bags by fast-moving express trains There is no
doubt, experts say, that the stamp-fxng
chine will come into general use and they are
equally certain that the government will adopt
slot machines for the automatic sale of postage
stamps, Germany and numerous other foreign
countries have. The department has made off,
cial trial of such machines.
A little more than year ago the postmaster
general appointed special committee of officials
to make thorough investigation of the stamp
vending machines. Washington is now having it's
extended public demonstration of these machines
and other cities also will have a chance to try
them for long period under the direct supervi
sion of the postoffice authorities.
When the postmaster general decided to make
experiments with stamp-seing machines, he in
Vited all persons with inventive tendencies to sub
init models. He did not confne the invitation to
America. The result that some rs machines
were offered for experiment and the postofice
committee had long and tedious task in selecting
those that appeared to be practical
After much Investigation the committee selected
a halfdozen machines for further test. To the
owners inventors of these six makes was given
the opportunity to make public tests of the ven
ders under the direction of the department, but at
their own expense Finally three different models
were picked out for extended public test al
government expense.
Two of these machines are foreign Inventions
one German machine and the other the invention
of an Australian.

of Mexico there are lots and lots of
men who eke out their livings doing
Just this thing. For the man who
doesn't have to fish for the devil-fsh,
It's fun, but to the man or crews of
men who do it for their daily bread;
well, they content themselves with
single catch a day.
Aristotle of old is recorded in his
tory as the first writer on the sub
Iect of devil-fishing, but as he was
exceedingly fond of Mr.. Aristotles
health he left lots unsaid because he
didn't investigate
Every Gulf of Mexico sailor who
fishes for this creature carries
Ratchet close by, for that is the only
means of getting away from the fish's
tentacles-simply cutting them off as
they are about to grasp the intended
victim.
In the gulf the devil-fish is har-
pooned and seldom after one of these
great prongs has been imbedded in
the body of the victim are the fisher
men able to land their quarry within
TWO hours. Usually II taxes from
three to four hours of good, hard mus
cle-grinding work and then lots of
times the crew of the hunting craft
must cut the cable and lose the har-
poon simply because the brute fights
TOO hard to allow the occupation to
be carried on safely. 1t is little
wonder that one fish a day Of this
variety is considered sufficient.
Many wild, weird tales are told of
the devil-fish. One class of stories
deals with the creatures addiction to
towing ocean-going steamers out of
their courses. So strong is the deep
sea monster that captains of vessels
have been known to wonder what
was carrying them to windward, and

stronger as the age of the fish in
creases. Some adult specimens have
been caught. the tentacles of which
were over 20 feet in length. Jets of
water squirted by means of fins con-
stitute the method of locomotion of
the cuttlefish.
The devil-fishs choicest occupation
is that of feeding upon shoals Of

and when interrupted in this pursuit

creature will toss several of its ten
tacles to the surface, still continuing
to feed with the rest of them; and If
this bluff fails to scare the intruder
away, the devil-fsh will come to the
surface personally to see about it.
While next to human beings,
sharks are the greatest enemies of
the cuttlefish, the scavengers of the
sea are just about as frightened by
the tentacled monsters as the latter
are by the sharks. Mariners have
