Practically Invisible Themselves. They
See, Hear and Breathe.
The crocodiles are thoroughly aquat-
ic in their habits, and their peculiar
conformation enables them to attack
and seize their prey unawares Their
uostrils, which lead by long canal to
the back part of their throats, their
eyes and their ears, are placed on the
upper part Of the head so that when In
the water they can Breathe, see and
hear, while they are themselves prac-
tically invisible. When they dive their
nostrils and ears are closed by lids or
valves. and their eyes are covered by
transparent nictitating membrane.
They are further furnished with an ar
rangement which prevents the water
from getting down their own throats
when they are holding large animals
under the water to drown them.
The dentition Of these reptiles is pc
culiar. The teeth are sharp and con-
ical and are hollow at the base. and
each tooth serves as the sheath of an,
other, which will in time replace 1t.
The tongue-for notwithstanding the
ancient belief the crocodile does pos
sess tongue--is fieshy and is attached
to the bottom of the mouth. And final
ly the lower jaw is hinged at the very
back of the skull. thus giving the ani-
NAL its extraordinary cape and also
the peculiar appearance which caused
the notion that 1t moved its upper jaw.

FEAsTED ON LOBSTER.
He DID u on the Sly and Rspsntcd
Sorely Afterward.

he Did u on the Sly and Hepanfcd
sorely Afterward.
Some years ago the government
fransplanted about 10000 eastern lob.
sters in Monterey bay. Before ship
ping wooden pegs had been put In
their claws SO that they couldn't fight
with each other en- route to this coast.
Before transplanting those In charge
neglected to remove the wooden pegs,
with the result that the lobsters all
died.
The government accordingly sent an-
other shipment and this time saw that
the pegs had been removed before
Planting the Holsters.
Some time thereafter the Albatross
steamed into Monterey bay, under tho
command of the United States fish
commission, looking for results of the
transplanting. Lobster traps were set
at different points, but nary lobster
was captured. The government then
posted notices offering $1,000 for a
specimen Of the transplanted Holsters,
Two years passed. A Santa Cruz
fisherman. out in his little smack,
caught one of the Holsters. Then.
thinking that there was law against
catching them, he sneaked the lobster
to his home, cooked 1t, ate 1t and de.
stroyed all evidence. Later he divulg-
ed the secret to some other fishermen.
II caught lobster sixteen inches
long," he said.
WHAT" they exclaimed.
"Yes, and was afraid to sell 1t, so
ate 1t myself"
"You ate it,"
"Yes"
And they broke to him the sad news
that there was reward Of $4,000 for
a sample lobster from the bay.
"And had a $4,000 meal" said the
fisherman and tainted, San Francisco
Chronicle.

WEBsTER's BLUE COATS.
His Liking For the Color Came From
His Early Homespun Suits.

His Liking For the Color Came From
His Early Homespun Suits.
Daniel Webster went to Dartmouth
college In a homespun suit of which
probably every thread was carded.
spun and woven by his mothers hand
from the wool of their own sheep. 1t
was dyed In the wool suit. and the
color was indigo blue.
In the south butternut was used; but,
though the Yankee danes knew all
about the uses of butternut bark and
the subtle power for slate color that
lay In the sumac berries and bark Of
white maple and were not unacquaint-
ed with the various dyes that root and
flower, bark and leaf could be made to
yield through the agency Of yitriol and
alum and copperas to "set' them fast.
the universal standby in New England
was the blue pot, par excellence the
tdye pot, = that stood in the chimney
corner Of every kitchen in that region.
So Webster was fitted out in indigo
blue from collar to ankle. Before
reaching Hanover there came on one
of those drenching rains that wet
man to the skin. The suit held its own.
but it parted with enough dye to tinge
Daniel blue from head to foot.
Webster had liberal stratum of
sentiment In his mental makeup. and
for some reason the color of his young
manhood remained his fayorite wear
through life. He wore blue coats to his
dying day. Ii any one ever saw him
in one of different color the fact has
not been made of record.-Exchange.

Old Time KISSING Customs.


The English distaste for kissing is O
thing OF comparatively recent growth
In the seventeenth century our habits
were the wonder Of the foreigner.
Nicolaus de Bethlen, d Hungarian. who
visited these shores in 1858, relates
that "my brother and | behaved very
rudely on one occasion, being unaware
that 1t was the custom In that country
to kiss the corner of the mouth of la
dies instead of shaking hands, MS we
do in Hungary. We were invited to
dine at the house of gentleman of
high rank and found bis wife and three
daughters. one of them married. ready
TO receive us. We kissed the girls, but
not the married ladies. and thereby
greatly offended the latter. Duval
apologized for our blunder and told
us that when saluting we must always
kiss the senior lady first and leave the
| girls to the last."-T4ondon Express.

PAPER BOXES.

One industry Alone Uses 1000 Differ
ent Sizes and Shapes.
A thousand machines of many types
and sizes and designed for many rur-
poses are used today in the manufac-
ture Of paper boxes. This assortment
Of machines Is absolutely necessary,
for the number Of styles Of cardboard
boxes used for packing all sorts OF
articles Is without limit.
According to the Edison Monthly, one
industry alone, the making OF pens,
pencils and erasers, requires boxes OF
1000 different sizes and shapes.
Paper box making, one of the new
but important industries Of this coun'
try, has made Its greatest progress
during the last half century and par
ticularly within the last twenty years
after modern machinery had been In
troduced. The business has assumed
wonderful proportions In New York
city, where the capital invested ex-
ceeds $5,0o0,000.
One hundred years ago there was nc
such thing as a paper box. The con
tainer of those days consisted Of moth
ing more than a heavy sheet of paper
wrapped around the article to be car
ried. In time some progressive person
conceived the idea Of cutting part way
through the paper In order to make II
fold more readily. With this four sid
ed wrapper 1t became the custom te
tuck the loose ends In to prevent the
contents slipping out
From this was evolved the idea Of
scoring the paper so both the sides
and ends folded up and then gluing thu
ends together. That was the way th'
first paper boxes were made, and |
was years before any marked improve
ment was made. In those days knife
pair of shears, d kettle Of paste an'
a straightedge. with supply OF bo'
board were sufficient equipment Z
start man in business.

ARCHAEOLOGY.
The Ancents Were Unconscious Aids
to the Modern Science.

The Ancents Were Unconscious Aids
to the Modern Science.
Arthur L. Frothingham. writing IN
the North American Review.on Where
Archaeology Comes In" notes that,
though 1t is customary to consider the
science as a modern study, dating
from the middle of the eighteenth CEN
tury, 'there has been at all times a
certain amount of unconscious archae-
ology." Illustrating this, he says:
"When the late Babylonian King
Nabonidus. about 800 B. c.. stated that
he was restoring In the original style
temple built more than 1000 years
before him by King Naramsin he
was, or thought he was. doing the
work of an archaeological scholar.
When the Roman priests. under the
Antoine emperors. continued TO use In
their sacrifices only the primitive
black earthen cups that Ind been In
use for nearly thousand years. since
before the founding Of Rome, they
were practical archaeologists
"When the Emperor Augustus In
sisted on having copies of the best
works of Greek sculpture OF different
ages and styles made In the exact
manner Of the originals, including ar
chaic works. he was ohliging bis sculp-
tors to be archaeologists. The Em.
peror Claudius. who wrote on antiqui-
ties and used archaicisms. was lam
pooned by scurrilous Romans as o
pedantic archaeologist. and Hadrian
the Philhellene. among his many eff
forts at resurrecting ancient Hellas,
can count the revival of the Perga-
meme and Alexandrian styles OF sculp-
ture."

Bowing in 1880 was quite cere-
mony, judging from the rules for do

''If you bow to any one passing by
do 1t In this manner: Raise the. right
hand to your hat gracefully.
"Put your forefinger as far as the
crown and your thumb under the
brim, and then raise it from your head
gracefully and easily.
Look at the person you bow to. and
hold your body gently forward.
Hold your left arm straight down
at your side, neither drawing 1t for.
ward or backward.
''Move the right leg. IL the persop

EUGENE GRAHAM
INSTANTLY KILLED
CONTACT WITH LIVE WIRE IN A
WESTON STORE BASEMENT.
Current Burned Body Until
Power Was Ordered Turned
Off at Athena Plant.

Eugene Graham one of the best
known young men Of Weston, was in
stantly killed Tuesday afternoon. by
coming in contao. with live wire in
the basement of D. B. Jarman's store,
where he was employed.
The young man. who was nephew
of Mrs. Fred Boyd Of this city. came
into the store from his delivery route
and going into the basement Of the
store. met his death. Mr.. Jarman
had previously received shock and
called attention of his clerks that
something was wrong with the cleo
trio wires and cautioned them to be
careful Young Graham, it is said
was likewise cautioned when be came
in off his delivery trip
At the time the young man met
his horrible death. the store was full
OF people. The body lay on the floor
OF the basement until telephone COM
munication could be bad with the
electric plaut in this city so that the
current could be turned off. All this
time the powerful current was pass
ing through the body. The boy was
hurled on his back to the cement
floor. his hands grasping the wire.
The breast and hands were terribly
burned.
All day Tuesday the Weston circuit
was overchsrged. Three doors up
| the street from Jarman's store, Chas.
Crawford placed his hand on the el-
eotrio scales in Taylor and LIE Grows

barled him back against the meat
block. Even the water pipes at the
home OF WIN. Mckenzie were charged
and wire on the hydrant pipe sput-
tered fire. Other Weston people re-
ported shocks received. and all day
Yesterday the Power company bad
two mel over there looking for the
trouble. Manager Watts says the
trouble is the result Of the telephone
company and the farmers lines string
ing wires to the electric power poles.
The trees icing wet. cause the current
to jump to the telephone lines which
are in some manner grounded to the
water pipes. thus electrifying a pnr-
tion Of the Weston water pipe line.
Eugene Graham. the victim OF
somebody's gross oarelessness,. was the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. W. A. Graham,
and was born In Weston. 2l years
ago. He was popular in his home

The funeral was held yesterday Of
ternoon. and was one of the largest

AN UNF0uGHT DUEL.
And the Reply southsy Prepared For
Byron,s Challenge.


Lord Byron once sent challenge to
Southey, the poet The quarrel which
led 10 the challenge had sprung from
a severe criticism of Byron's work by
the future poet laureate. 1t happened
that the friend to whom the challenge
was intrusted. Douglas Kinnaird, was
too sensible to deliver It, and so the
duel never got beyond the merest pre-
liminaries. Southey nevertheless, in
full expectation Of the challenge, had
prepared letter to send In reply.
This letter ]. Roger Rees quotes in
"The Pleasures Of Bookworm." 1t
follows
"Sir-I have the honor Of acknowl-
edging the receipt of your letter and
do myself the pleasure Of replying to
1t without delay.
'In affairs Of this kind the partners
ought to meet upon equal terms. But
to establish the equality between you
and ME there are three things which

also becomes necessary before I can

First. You must marry and have
four children. Please be particular
In having them all girls.
Second You must plove that the
greater part of the provision which
you make for them depends upon your
life, and you must be under a bond Of
$4,000 not to be hanged, not to com.

duel, which are the conditions upon
which have effected an insurance of
my own life for the benefit of my
wife and daughters.
"Third.--I must tell three direct false
hoods concerning you upon the hust.
ings or in some other not less public
assembly, and | shall neither be able
to do this nor to meet you afterwartl
in the manner you propose unless you
can perform the fourth thing, which
Is:
''That you must convert me from the
