The rays and skates are the Jokes of

look upward. and they have tails as
slender and tapering as the whip of
a ringmaster of a circus.
In the United States the most com
mon rays are called skates" The
whip tailed rays because of their long,
slender tails with their erectile spines
at the end. capable of infiicting severe
and dangerous wounds. are frequently
called sting rays. The common sting
ray feeds on oysters. CLAIMS and other
valuable mollusks and in the Atlantic
waters is known as the "clam cracker"
OF the skates the commonest as well
as the smallest species on the Atlantic
coast is known as the tobacco box;
the largest is aptly called the barn
door. On the western coast of the
United States is found the big skate.
which reaches length of six feet,
two feet larger than its eastern rela-
tive.
Because of its habit OF rolling itself
up when caught the common skate has
been called bonnet skate" 1t Is also
known as the hedgehog ray"

Proceedings Instituted to Compel

Proceedings have been begun
against the Pennsylvania Railroad

road. Inasmuch as the land for

which the road passes get no ser.

Its forms of life must be not only ter

embrace them. but that further point

The struggle for existence in the

circumstances growing momentarily

breadth of understanding sufficient to

SPECIMEN ALL READY FOR
THE PRISONERS.

The present price of turkey will not
interfere with the Christmas dinner

that the national bird was purchased
some time ago by Jailer Harmon and
has been slowly fattening pending the
day of execution. The fowl is a hand
some specimen, robust and corpulent.
Once roasted to a turn, Drowned and
sliced, he will furnish an epicurean
feast for the greedy mouths OF the
prisoners. There is plenty to eat at
the county jail all the year round.
and the occupants of the bastile reflect
this in their appearance. The negro
prisoners. especially, look fat. sleek
and prosperous. and two weeks in jail
IS sufficient to drive that ashy hue
