stead of being pearly jewels OF
beauty set in coral, are as pointed as
cat's-very useful in the assimila-
ton of porgies and whitefish, but
scarcely an asset for a Venus.
Below the waist she is plain fish, Of
enormous proportions as to the tail,
as might be expected of any fish
equipped with an upper body the size
of woman. If there is beauty to her
at ALL it Is to be found in the fish half,
which is all elegance and grace from
the piscatorial point of view, where
the human features above are those
of freak or monstrosity.
French scientists, for the time be-
ing, seem to have taken the specimen
seriously and are giving her an honest
consideration. The local public is d.
vided as to her genuineness, although
with the majority seeing is believing.
In the past mermaid fakes have
been worked in the United States as
well as in Europe, with appeals to
the credulity of all classes of people.
A few years ago the mermaid was a
common sideshow attraction with the
small circus-not a very difficult illu-
sion to produce under conditions of
Pickering artificial light and a stream
of spectators hustled along so fast
that they had only a hurried glimpse
of the blonde lady from Fourth
avenue, New York, wearing a scaly
tail more or less neatly attached to
her at the hips.
In an eastern medical" museum,
there was shown for many years the
mummy of a little mermaid which il
most particulars, corresponded to the
formation of the siren now on view
at Dion. But it stayed in the mu
scum window so long and it dried out
so completely that, after a while
passersby had no difficulty in discern
ing where and how the fishtail haC
formed and very small infant.
The siren from Boring sea- SHOULD
she by any wonderful chance prove tC
be the real thing, would leave the hu
man bellies of the seashore forever
free from mermaid rivalry. The only
word that can describe the appearance
of such a libel on womanhood i.
"hideous."
Anatomists have never been able t,
imagine how the mermaid could exist
for the whole economy of one struc
ture negatives that of the other.
Yet a modification of the siren y
tradition might possibly live under
modification of the conditions tina
have been attributed to her. Replac,

Every one of the policemen dis

a peace officer as ever worked in

TERRIBLE ACCUSATION

nunciation of the city authorities FOL

ordered the money 10 he paid out of
the treasury to these men for doing
absolutely nothing of any value" He
also asked: "Will not all of these
men vote tomorrow sOlidly against
the constitution"
The fact that he didn't know that
he had been watching the city chain
gang wouldn't have hurt Mr.. Taylor
if he had not rushed into print with
his criticism of the municipal Off
cials. AS il is. his ignorance has
made him a laughing stock.
Doubtless he thought that the city
was paying the members of the chain
gang $3.50 a day To loaf around and
do a little work. They got nothing
