Of farmers, who are attendants at the

ity in the many machinery exhibits.
The second day record OF any previous
fair was shattered before noon today,
when the gates showed that more than
Is 900 paid admissions had been received
up to that time. Thousands more came
in during the afternoon. The day was
ideal and the big crowds were handled
with case. Several heat prostrations were

agricultural exhibit than you have here"

extra quality. 1 visited the Nebraska state
fair four years ago and to say that there
has ben great Improvement in that time
is putting 1t mildly"
The Washington visitors also was shown
around the state farm and of this he
also had naught but high words Of COM
mendation. you have a magnificent
school here 1t is decidedly something
worth while for an agricultural state like
Nebraska and you ought to see to It that
the people of the state better understand
and appreciate the advantages that are
offered here building at the state fair
wherein the products of the university farm
and the main schools work could be placed
would be great thing" said he.

The YOUNG Idea.

In a certain school a schoolboy Of
tender years is said to have produced
the following essay on the camel: 1.-THE
cannimal is sheep Of the desert. IT.
is called a backteria because it has a
hump on its back. The cannimal is
very patient and will lie down and die
without groan. but when it is angry
1t gets its back up, which is called the
hump. The shepherds of cannimals is
called Arabs. When they live in towns
they are called street Arabs When the
cannimal goes on a journey it drinks
as much as it can to last for many
days. Such animals are called acqui-
ducks. Those that cannot carry enough
are called inebriates."

THE BLANKET FISH.

This Dreaded Sea Monster Wraps Its
Body Around Its Prey.
The manta. or blanket fish. is CON-
mon to the warm parts Of the Pacific.
Around the Mexican penal colony on
Tres Marias islands, not very far from
Manzanillo, it is one Of the most eff
Client guards for the prisoners incar-
cerated there. Not man has ever been
known to escape from this dreaded
prison by swimming. No sooner does
human body strike the water than
school of these monsters appear, fyinc
like giant bats through the sea. They
throw themselves on the hapless swim
mer, crushing him to the bed of the
sea, and there suck the flesh from his
bones with their powerful mouths.
The manta grows to mammoth d.
mansions, though the one which l saw,
says a writer in the Wide World Mag
azlne. was comparatively small, not
weighing over two or three tons and
not being more than fifteen feet
across The fish is nearly square in
angles. which stretch out from the
body. giving it rectangular appear
ance. The fish swim by Tapping these
wings and are sometimes called "sea
BATS on this account.
Mantas swim with incredible rapid
1ty for what is apparently so ungainly
a hsh. and once they sight anything
IN the water, unless it be the speediest
fish or shark, they overhaul it and
simply close it, wrapping the entire
blanket-like body around the unfortu-
nate victim. Even with a sharp knife
1t Is almost impossible to reach a vital
point in the manta's body. For this
reason they are the most dreaded by
divers Of all the dwellers in the sea.
and the divers life is not without it's
perils. take my word for that.

THE SPIRAL NEBULAE..
Ono Of the Terrifying and Mysterious
Forces Of Space. "

One OF the Terrifying and Mysterious
Forces of Space. "
The most stupendous manifestations
OF force of which we have any knowl-
edge are presented by the spiral nebu-
Lac, whose mysterious and terrifying
forms were first clearly revealed nv
the Lick observatory photographs
made in lS9S-l900 by the late Pro
lessor James e. Keller. The heavens
are full Of them-they exist by thou-
sands-and as astronomical photogra-
ply is brought to greater perfection
their amazing shapes tend more and
more to upset all former ideas con-
corning the processes of creation and
destruction going on in the interstellar
spaces. They affect in an equal de-
gree all theories about the origin and
ultimate fate of our own solar sys-
tem
Who would imagine on looking up
at the starry heavens some quiet
night that the earth is like a person
lost in the midst of the whirring
wheels and spinning shafts of some
running bolts, whirling spindles,
champing pistons, grinding cogs, gy-
rating governors, dizzying fywheels
and leaping rods confuse the eye and
the mind and paralyze the limbs with
the terror of impending humiliation?
We are not aware of this startling
situation because, while we see the
stars, we do not see what is among
the stars. The spinning machinery Of
the universe is revealed only in pho
tographs, and as far as our senses are
concerned it performs it's functions
with a silence which to the imagina-
ton becomes a part of the horror Of
space.
These cosmic wheels spin with in
calculable velocity, but the span Of
human life is but a second of time in
comparison with their periods. If we
could magnify time so that a second
would become as a century, then an
hour would be equivalent to 100000
years, and the true aspect of the
spiral nebulae would burst upon our
astonished senses.-Garrett P. Serviss
