as it is vSriously named. Is fairly plen-
tiful in Galveston bay. so the appear
ance Of four Of these sea monsters at
one time the other day did not excite
any special remark. But they were
seen by three boys. all under sixteen.
and they determined to get one and
sell it. So one OF the boys borrowed
Winchester rifle. while the other two
got rowboat and harpoon. and out
they went after their prey. The boys
rowed around awhile and soon saw
one Of the fishes and pulled up within
forty or fifty feet. One Of the boys
fired shot into the ray. which imme-
diately preached. scooting fully twen-
ty feet out and ahead, like flying
fish. Two more shots were fired. and
after beating the water furiously it
died. Then harpoon was thrown
into the creature, and 1t was towed to
the wharf. where it was slung and
hoisted out with windlass. This
fish measured fourteen feet from wing
tip to wing tip.

REsULTS GAINED BY THE DRAG.
LFrom Southern Good Roads Magazine. ]
fland wheel track or rut the full length
OF the portion to be dragged and the
return made over the other half of the
roadway.
The drag does the best work when
the soil is moist. but not sticky.
The advantages TO be gained from
the persistent use of a road drag may
be summarized as follows:
E1rst.-The maintenance Of a smooth.
sserriceable earth road, free from ruts
ana mudholes.
Second.-Obtaining such a road sur
face with the expenditure Of a little
money and labor in comparison with
the money and labor required for 9th
er methods.
Third.-The reduction Of mud in wet
weather and of dust in dry weather.
There are also several minor bene
fits gained from the use Of road drag
besides the great advantages which al
ways accrue from the formation of i'm
proved highways. of which may be
mentioned the punishment of weeds
and grass from the dragged portion OF

FOR THE CHILDREN
Colorado Snow Flea.

The observing Colorado miner can.
not furnish you scientific names. yet
he will tell you at once that red snow
is caused by the snow flea. The snow
flea is very small. 1t would require
about fifty of them to equal their
larger brother OF the east in size.
A person walking upright might
think the snow covered by very fine
dust. but II your eyes are good and
you place your face within eighteen or
twenty inches of the snow you can
easily discern the snow flea. Although
so small as to be almost imperceptible
to the naked eye. yet they are most
active. jumping from twelve to fifteen
inches.
To the naked eye they appear to be
dark brown in color. but under good
microscope they would be found to be
a reddish brown. During cold wealth
er they stay under the bark Of trees.
but when 1t Is Il nice. warm day and
the sun shines brightly you can find
them on the southern and eastern
slopes Of the mountains. where they
can get the direct rays Of the sun.
During the day they will ascend the
mountains, sometimes far above the
timber line. When the sun disappears
and it gets cold the snow flea freezes
to death. During the winter great
numbers will be thus frozen. and their
dead bodies color the snow.

name to any of his works -was COM
posed on an occasion when he had
been playing to some stranger folk
by chance. Walking with friend. he
overheard in humble house some
one playing with much feeling a bit
of one of his sonatas. He paused TO
listen. In a mament the music ceased.
and Il girl spoke longingly of her wish
to hear some really good concert. The
voice was 50 appealing that the COM
poser stepped without hesitation to
the door and knocked. Admitted to
the wondering host he said, Il will
play for YOU" and played wonder
fully till the lamp burned out. Then

willow are preferred to oak. hickory or

As ornamental trees and shrubs are
pruned to aid In the production of
flowers and foliage. the towering sea-
son necessarily controls the time OF
pruning.
Many Of the early blooming shrubs
develop their flowers the year before.
and with these heavy pruning should
be delayed until just after their flow

thia and many other popular shrubs
are Of this character. Soon after their
Towering season Is over they begin
to develop buds for the next year.
Shrubs needing heavy trimming
should be pruned in early winter. This
will result in larger blooms on the re-
naming buds. Such plants as the
hydrangea and the clematis. which
make their towering buds on shoots

give greater protusion ot shoots 81,
