a broad, fat nearly oval head and body, and
tail something like that possessed by the ma
jority of wellknown fishes. It's mouth is on
the under side and it only feel the way to
it when feeding. But the real curiosity about
this fish is the fact that it carries it's own stor
age battery with it on all its wanderings and
that it has the power of recharging the thou
sands Of little cells when they become exhaust
ed, using its power over and over again. There
are really two batteries. They are located
where would naturally expect to find the
breathing apparatus of the fish, to the right
and the left of the beady black eyes and back.
They are kidney shaped, occupying perhaps
onethird of the upper part of the body.
When at peace with itself and the rest of
the world the torpedo fish swims around at
leisure or rests in shallow water, burroW1ng
in the sand at ease, but if attacked the battery
is discharged and the enemy is glad to call it a
drawn battle if it can swim away. 1t gets its
prey by using its batteries to supply the neces-
sary current to kill, but 1t must first complete
connection with the object of its attack. Men
have speared these torpedos in shallow waters
and have caught them in nets, but on handling
them have been very glad to let them go and
avoid further shock. Fishermen have been re-
peatedly knocked down by contact with them.
The species is common along the south At
lantic and gulf coast.

these she has succeeded in transplanting to
her own soil. For the appetizing apple at its
best, however, she must still come to the land
Of the Stars and Stripes.
There does not seem to be a very clear rec
ord of just when the American export trade in
apples had its beginnings, but probably it be-
gan a small scale almost as soon as the low
of the good things of earth discovered what
a precious boon is the mealy sphere with its
refreshing, thirst-quenching propensities. The
lands over seas have acquired their enthusiasm
for American apples partly because they have
already had the best grade of the fruit served
to them There are two explanations of this
On the one hand there is the consideration that
only a good grade of apple of certain varieties
has the keeping quality to permit of its ex-
portation,-a transfer that means that weeks
and more likely months must intervene be-
tween the time the apples picked in Amer

those huge red apples that have brought fame
to the Pacific Northwest, you have a new ex-
PLANTATION of the prices ranging from $4,000 to
$4,000 per acre which are demanded for
bearing orchards in this favored fruit land.
The chances are that in the eyes of the av-
erage foreign apple-eater, Niagara Falls does
not rank higher an American wonder than
the Hood River Valley in Oregon, the Wenat-
chez, the Yakima and other districts from the
five acre and ten acre fruit farms of which
come the winesaps and other varieties of ap-
pies that compel the most conservative Euro
pean epicure to cOncede that America must
be wonderful place after all.
But it would be a great mistake to convey
the impression that it is only the apples from
Oregon and Washington which are freighted
over land and to win praises in foreign
tongues. The greatest apple shipping port in
the world is jacksonville, California, and count
less apples have gone forth as silent mission
aries from the great orchards of the middle
west and particularly from the Ozarks which
long ago attained a proud position foun-
tain head of the stream of apples that annual
ly overspreads the world. The most famous
apple growing region in the east,-the pictur-
esque Albemarle highlands of old Virginia-is
likewise a heavy contributor to the larders of
moneyed foreigners. From this historic section
of the Old Dominion come tho famous Able
marie pippins which bring prices ranging up
to $40 a barrel and which are such favorites

EXPERT TESTIMONY.
a Case Where Two lnfaIIibIes Held
Conflicting Opinions.

Conflicting Opinions.
The fallibility of expert testimony,
which under stress of clever cross ex-
animation tends to the too decided
statement. Is amusingly revealed in
Science and the Criminal" book by
@. Ainsworth Mitchell, the head of the
inspection bureau of Scotland Yard.
Nethercliffe, who was the chief
handwriting expert in the days when
the witty Lord Brampton was at the
bar, had such faith in his methods
that finally he came to believe that he
could not make mistake.
In case in which he was under
cross examination by Lsrd Brampton,
then Mr.. Hawkins, Netherclifre had
claimed that his system gave infallible
results and had further stated that his
son. whom he had trained. made use
of the same system.

Nethercliffe tried to evade the ques-

unfair one. but on being pressed was
casion he had given evidence on one
side and his son upon the other.
Swift came the unanswerable retort:

that their borrowings might threaten

but he sent the representation to the

the rabbits and found they were wild.

water board opined that it was for the

decided that rabbits could not be

An ORDER issued by the Public Utilities
Commission allows railroad trains to stop
at the Ocean Grove station on Sundays,
but it is said the Ocean Grove authorities
will fight the matter. Why the station is
named Ocean Grove is not known as 1t is
not within the limits of that place but is
altogether in Asbury Park. The refusal
to allow trains to stop there on Sundays is
absolutely nonsensical. The gates OF
Ocean Grove are closed on Saturday night
and remain in that condition until Monday
morning so that no one may drive In or
out, but there Is no restriction on foot
travel across the bridge or boardwalk and
crowds pass to and fro through the place.
Many of these people get off the cars at
North Asbury, which is small station
and is greatly congested at train time.
The stopping of trains at the main station
will not Increase travel one particle and
there will be just as many people who will
cross the bridge or the boardwalk as here
tofore. The restriction has become merely
an obstruction that seems to be maintained
through spirit that is not commendable
on the part of the directors. AS long as
they cannot prevent trains from running
past the sacred precincts there does not
seem to be any justification for refusing
to allow them to accommodate passengers
who desire to alight from and take trains
at place where there are more accommo.
dations and less liability Of danger.
