LAWYER THOMPSON
 SUCCUMBS AFTER
 EXTENDED ILLNESS
Son of Late Curtis C.Thomp- son, Who Was Once City
 Attorney of Bridgeport
The Deceased Had Been Ail- ing for Some Months with
 Diabetes and Kindred Ail- ments-Served as Alder man From First District.

Attorney James w. Thompson, son of the late Curtis Thompson, who was city attorney when Carlos Curtis was Mayor, and again when John L. Vessels was Mayor, died this aft ernoon at the residence of his mother in Park avenue. Death was not unexpected as the deceased had been in failing health for some months, being afflicted with dia- betes and other ailments of a kindred nature. Since last Saturday he had been unconscious and every effort of the attending physicians to rouse him proved unavailing. Surviving him be- sides his mother is one sister, formerly Miss Kate Thompson, now the wife of Herman Lanzetel1e, a prominent rail- road man of Chicago.
 Friends of Attorney Thompson have remarked the changed appearance in his condition of late. He was until i'll health forced him to forego an ac- tive career prominent in legal circles and devoted most of his attention to title searching task for which he displayed great aptitude. His associate in the practice of law is Attorney M. J. Flanagan.
 The deceased was a member of the board of Aldermen from 1897 to 1902. During the first year of former Mayor Thomas F. Taylor's administration. MT. Thompson was president of the Common Council. His first official position was in the office of secretary Of state where he was a clerk under the administration of Hon. John J. Phelan. He was member of the special committee that had in charge the erection of the police and charities building.
 MT. Thompson was a bachelor and a member of several local clubs. Those who knew him intimately enjoyed his companionship very much as he was an interesting conversationalist and most considerate of the shortcomings of others He was of a bookish turn and spent many hours perusing of rare worth though little sought outside of literary circles. As 8 lawyer he was rated among the gen. tlemen of the profession and no breath of scandal ever attached to any of his legal transactions.

THE SEA HEDGEHOG.
k VIII Swallow Air Until lt SweIis

t Will Swallow Air Until lt SweIis
 Into lnvulnsrabiIity.
 Of fishes a large number are pro tected from hostile attack by a GOV ering of prickIes. By far the most curious examples are the globefshes or '-sea hedgehogs" of the Atlanfdc and Indo-Paciflc oceans. The extreme length of the globefish Is something less than two feet It has thick lips and goggle eyes, which give it the ap- pearance of a good natured country man. Courage it seems to lack, and one might suppose that such sim pleton would fall an easy prey to the. first shark or dogfsh it encountered. Yet the globefish is able to take care of itself. It never under any circum- stances attacks the enemy, yet is al- ways ready to receive him in suit able manner should he provoke hostil- ities.
 Let us suppose that shoal of globe fishes is swimming trnnquil1y, in the clear waters when 1t, is suddenly sur prised by a hungry shark. Of course the little fellows scuttle hither and thlther in uncomfortable alarm. But the shark, poising himself upon his powerful tail, leisurely singles out one of the fleeing giobenshes and sets out in pursuit Now, although the globe fish is good swimmer, it is no match for the shark. The chase is in every way unequal and can have but one ending. Within a few minutes of it's commencement the shark must over take the globehsh. But the quarry is well aware of its danger. 1t makes bee line for the surface and as soon as 1t gets there begins to take in great gulps of air.
 Then a strange thing happens. The fish that only a moment before was thin and small begins to grow stouter and stouter until, like the frog in the fable, it seems in danger of bursting. It stops infiattng itself, however, just in time to avert this catastrophe. But its skin has become as taut as a drum head, and the whole of its body Is cov- cred with sharp, erect prickles. 1t has become a sea hedgehog, and the hum gry shark which comes surging through the water dares not touch it, but turns tail in search of something more eata- ble. Of course the globeflsh was COW cred with prickles all the time, but in periods of tranquility these lie com fortably along it's sides, just as do those of the hedgehog. Unlike it's land prototype, however, the sea is unprovided with a special for erecting its prickles, so when danger threatens it has recourse to the mechanical method of inf1atfng the whole body with air or with wa ter if it cannot reach the surface quickly Scientific American.

The Muskellunoe.

The Indian name of this great fighter Of the fresh water lakes and tributa- r1es is ''esoxmasquinongy." Our nat uralists have the word translated into about eight or nine different styles, but the correct way of spelling it in our language is undoubtedly "muskel- lunge." Most fishermen, however, pronounce and spell it to suit them selves, and no man seems to be an ac- cepted authority. It is one thing in Canada, another in the St. Lawrence and another in the great lakes. The favorite among New Workers is mus callonge." The fish reaches a length of seven and a half feet, and the big gest ever taken is said to have weighed ninety-two pounds.
