Rapid City, S. D, Dec. so.-Geerge
v. Warren, a ranchrnan on Spring

trees growing on his place near the

grove and noticed that a colony of
beavers had felled one of the largest

on to the butt of the tree and dragged
1t far back from the stream, thinking
latter to use the tree for fence posts.
A day or two later he again passed,
through the cottonwood grove on the,
opposite side OF the stream and found
several more fine trees cut by the
beavers. These trees! Warren hauled
back from the stream as he thought,
out of the way of the beavers.
A few days later he had need of
several posts to mend a break in his
fencing. Going to where he had
hauled the beaver cut trees he found
hat those Industrious little animals

Deep sea fishes, as a rule, have either
very large eyes or no eyes at all. The
large eyes are fitted to make most
of the little light that is present at
great depths and this Is amplified by
the phosphorescence of certain deep
water denizens themselves. A bunch
of poiyps o a flexible stem was
brought UP from a depth of 2,175
fathoms, between Madeira and the
Spanish coast. AS 1t came to the sur
face It gave ont a brilliant phosphor-
escence, as did many allied forms
dredged In deep water. No doubt these
creatures, like their congeners In shall

tered over the bottom.
