The Strange Sea Spider.

One of the strangest creatures Of the
sea is certain species of sea spider
named Nymphon gracile, 1t has a
body about the size of bit of thread
a quarter of an inch long and tied into
four knots. The head looks like the
end of a thread split into two horns.
From each of the four knots start two
legs, one ON each side. making eight in
all. The legs are three or four times
longer than the body. but the odd
thing about them is that the alimen-
tary tube into which the food goes
runs down into every one of the legs.
so that whatever the spider eats circu-
lates through his legs. and. in fact.
the legs are like the body in internal
structure Another curious feature OF
this form Of life is that the baby sea
spider is not in the least like the
grownup of the same family. It is
much more like crab. but how 1t de-
velops from crabIike form is not yet
ained.-Exchange

Those who read the accounts OF the

have noticed that no mention is made
of its voice. Sportsmen, in fact. al

Nor so far as the records go has it
ever been heard in captivity. Up to
the present it appears that no one
could say whether the cry of a giraffe
was groan. a below. bleat or a
neigh; hence the record of the recent
experience of naturalist In east Afri-
ca. who has actually heard Its voice.
is of special interest.

over a waterhole where the wild ami
mails came to drink. He had at times

TRICKY ELEPHANTS.

The Cunning They Displayed In Pro-
curing Stolen Meal.
Singular as it may seem, elephants
which have associated with men enter
tain the notion that, under special cir
cumstances. they are not responsible II
they utilize another to commit an lille
gal act The following is an instance
OF this elephantine morality.
man in Rangoon bought three
young elephants to send to England.
They were tame and playful, but cum
ming. Knowing that 1t was wrong to
steal paddy tunhusked rice)-the idea
had doubtless been impressed upon
them by punishment for stealing they
would not touch it themselves. but IL
boy went to see them he would be
seized by one. the little trunk would
be coiled around his arm, and he would
be led to where the paddy was kept in
bags.
The elephant would make a cats paw
of the boys hand to take up handful
of paddy. Then, letting go. he would
turn up the end of his trunk, open It
and coaxing'y invite the boy to drop in
the paddy.
Should the boy. however, put 1t back
in the bag his arm would again be
seized by the trunk, and his hand
would be again inserted into the paddy
bag.
The boy. anxious to be released.
would usually drop the paddy into the
trunk, and the elephant would blow
the rice into his mouth. After repeat
ing the operation several times tho
elephant would scamper off, feeling
that he had got the paddy without
stealing it.-Harper's.

Il Tells Pretty Story Of the Origin Of

The Japanese have an interesting
legend in connection with the origin
OF the chrysanthemum. In a garden

god appeared before her and assured
her that her fiance loved her passion

added. .as many years as the flower
which will let you choose has petals.
With these words he disappeared.
The young girl hastened to search the
garden for flower which should have
an abundance of petals. but each one
appeared to promise but brief fH-
ture for her beloved
AT length she picked Persian car

pin taken from her hair, she separated

that Boss Kuhnle was made the goa"

he was the leader of the Atlantic City
Republican machine, which the Dem

that next Falls referendum will prove
the unpopularity of convicting this

BOSSES AND THE GERAN LAW.

The Newark News is probably the
ablest and most Independent of the
State press, and what it says of the
proposed changes in the election law
is worthy of serious thought. We
quote:
st is hardly possible to find more
damaging evidence of the blight that
the boss system has laid upon our
forefathers' would-be representative
government than the chronic attitude
of the only men whom the bosses will
consent to have represent US.
The very heart of representative
government is that the men elected
should be in complete and sincere
understanding sympathy with their
constituents
There is no way yet discovered to
secure such government except that
these representatives inform the citi-
zenss sincerely of their personal views
when candidates, and then submit to
the most Independent. most honest
and most discriminating form of vot-
ing that can be devised.
while the News is of the opinion
that there is much yet to be done
with our election system before we
can hope for government that will
be consistently representative, the Ge-
ran law in it's entirety has proved an
aid to two of the prime essentials
independent voting and honest elec-
tions. 1t is also decided aid to dis
criminative voting.
"And yat-the minute the Republi-
can Old Guard finds itself in power
again it starts out to undermine
everything the Geran law does.
"The Leavitt bill eliminates person
al registration in all but the largest
cities-What chance for the corrupt
fonist to register ghosts it leaves
out many of the identifying questions
~ tine chance for the bosses and the
trusts to vote their ghosts. 1t ar
ranges the candidates in party col
unns-a fine chance for the bosses to
see to it that the purchasable vote can
be purchased.
What does all this amount TO-

can Guardians do not want an hon

| 0tdle hOdu commissioner EQ WIN "A.
Stevens, claims that the new system
of improved highways proposed in the
series of bills introduced in the Sem
ate by Senator Gaunt, of Gloucester
County, would mean the expenditure
of about 100000 a year for mainten-
ance. Referring to Senate II, provid-
ing for an issue of $10,000,00 at 3 1-2
per cent bonds for road purposes, Col
Stevens said he supposed the purpose
of this bill was to cover the improve
ment of roads hitherto unimproved as
| well as the reconstruction of roads
already improved under previous laws
More definite legislation on this point
he thought, would be desirable This
bin provides for state highway sys-
tenn aggegating 1900 miles, AMI Com.
missioner Stevens showed that in ad.
dition to the 3 13 per cent. of sink.
ing fund charges called for in the act
some provision would have TO be made
for the maintenance of these 150(
miles of road. He figured that ths
proposition would bring the folloYif.s
charges on road account: Interest
$350000; Sinking Fund charge, $780,,
600; Maintenance, 100000, total O
81, ,583 ,000 Another of the Gaun
