JAPANESE FISH is CURIOUS
interesting Specimen Uses Fin as Sail
Dorado Is Caught by Hook
and Squids.

One Of the most interesting Of fish
of Japanese waters is the Oriental sail
fish (Histiophorus Orientalisl. The
generic name means the sail bearer
and refers to the huge dorsal fin pos
.sessed By the species.
The I'm stands higher than the body
above 1t and Is used as a sail before
the wind. 1t is large fish, ten feet
in length and weighing 164 pounds,
says BIOLOGIST. They swim about usu-
ally in pairs in rough and windy
weather with their huge fms above the
water.
It is favorite food fish and the an
nual catch is nearly two million
pounds. The sail fish is caught by
means of harpoon.
Another food fish known as dol
fin or dorado is sometimes caught in
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
a 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 sal
mon Is in the northeast.

LIFE LENGTH AMONG ANIMALS
Record of Longevity Is Held by Tor
toise-Elephant Believed to
Come Next.

The maximum length of life Of
some of the best-known animals is as
follows: The horse lives to maxi
mum of 35 years and the donkey a
like period; the dog does not ex-
coed twenty-five years, the rabbit
from eight to ten, the goose 80, and
the duck, the hen, and the turkey a
dozen years.
Among the animals having the
best-established reputation for longev-
ity are the crow, which lives 100
years, and the parrot and the ele-
plant, which attain an age of $50
years. Carp, on the other hand, ap-
pear to have usurped their reputa-
ton, which was based on ill-under-
stood facts from Chantilly and Fon-
tainebleau. They rarely become CEN
tenarians.
The tortoise appears to be the ami
NAL that lives the longest, and the
record of longevity is surely held by
one weighing $50 kilograms, which
was presented in 1904 to the London
Geological gardens by Hon. Lionel
Rothschild, and which is said to have
been born in 1850.

One day Isaac Newton feeling chill
ly, ordered his servant to build
good roaring fire in the CRATE, and
when his orders had been obeyed he
drew his chair up and enjoyed the
cheerful warmth. In a short while
he dropped into deep thought and be-
came unmindful of the fire until it
grew SO warm that he was compelled
to notice it. He rang the bell vio-
lently, and when his servant came
he ordered him to move the CRATE.
The servant scratched his head in
puzzled silence, and Newton, becom-
ing thoroughly angry with the heat
and the servants disobedience. shout
ed: "Will you move that grate?"
The servant covered in terror at
first; then, finally growing calm, he
answered:
Would it not be better, sir, for
you to move your chair?"
We'll, well, welI!' said Newton.
Upon my word, never thought OF
that."

Dog pulls Boy.

Of this arrangement appeals most to
some small boys who have learned
the secret in the south part of the
great city of New York is not known,
but they are making the most of it.
Their plan is to harness the house
dog and induce him to pull them down
the slightly inclined hill On roller
skates. The clickety click Of the roll
ers on the granitoid walk behind is
sufficient stimulus to keep the dog 60
ing at the required pace. Psyche
logically it has the same effect as a
can tied to his tail.
AS for the boy he gets all the fun
of roller skating without the exertion,
and perhaps some Of the sensations
Of shooting the chutes, riding the
scenic railway and motoring COM
bined. Anyway it's popular sport
IN many parts of town where there
are hills, dogs and boys.
