The Sea Cucumber.

If you grope about in the dark hooks and corners of a rock pool, quite close down to the waters edge, when the tide is out you may perhaps find curious little creature which looks rather like a greyish white cucumber, with an odd feathery tuft at one end of it's body. This is sea cucumber, or sea gherkin and is chiefly remark able because it seems to suffer very much at times from eating something which does not agree with it.
 It cures itself in a very odd way, indeed. It gets rid of almost all the inside of it's body. reducing itself to very little more than an empty bag of skin, with just little tuft at one end. It throws off it's teeth. the lining of it's throat and it's digestive organs. You would think that it would kill itself by doing this. wouldn't you? It does not. Before very long new teeth, new throat lining and new digestive organs grow in the place of the old ones so that in a few weeks time the creature is just as perfect as it was before.
 It seems rather hard to believe that a sea cucumber can treat itself in such a manner as this, and yet continue to live doesn't 1t? But remember that truth Is stranger than fiction" and

The Banana.

The banana is grown in Florida, South America, and all very warm countries. The banana plants have very large, long leaves and they must be grown on wet ground
 The fruit grows in punches with the bananas pointing upward. They are picked when nearly ripe and shipped north or sold here.
 After the bananas are picked the old stalk is cut down and new ones grow up in their places.
 The bananas grown in Florida are mostly a small variety and are sup posed to be better than the large ones.

 In the afternoon when he stopped to feed his horse, a stable boy came and told him that a shoe was missing from his horse; but the merchant said that the horse could go without shoe for the last two miles
 He rode forth. but before long the horse stumbled and broke a leg. He did not get home till night, all be- cause of nail.

 How Carlo Gave the Fire Alarm.
 A little boy named Morris Barclay had taught his dog some clever tricks, one of which was to talk at the tele- phone. When the telephone rang Car 10 would run into the nall, and if it friends he was allowed to "speak" to them. He would bark, just as if he were trying to say: How are you?''
 One day a call came to the tele- phone office and when the telephone girl said "Helloin the only reply was the excited. barking of dog. She knew at once that it was Carlo, but she could not understand why Morris did not answer her. She was so pug zled she called up MT. Barclay at his office.
 "A call came from your house." she told him, and I can get no reply but Carlo is at the phone, barking wildly and excitedly.''
 Carlo at the 'phone!" MT. Barclay exclaimed. "Why, that is strange, for there is no one at home. I cannot it. Something may be wrong, so I will go right up and see. Thank you for. telling me-"
 Mr Barclay hurried home as fast as he could, and when he opened the door rush of smoke greeted him. Carlo was on a chair in front of the scratching and barking ex- citedly. Then he knew that the dog had realized that something was smoke and he had gone to the tele- phone, where he had talked" with his In his excitement he had knocked the receiver down and in that way had given the alarm which led to the discovery Of the fire.
 w HSn lu0 1IIS was out anu lH0 eA- citement over MT. Barclay told how Carlo gave the fire alarm. Then Nor ris threw his arms around Carlos neck, exclaiming:
 You good old dog! If it had not been for you we might have been with out 8 home this cold winter right, in- stead of having only one room hurt with fire. think 1t is lucky that I taught you to talk over a phone"
 A week later MT. Barclay delighted Morris by bringing collar for Carlo with silver medal attached which said.
 A reward to Carlo because he saved the Barclay home from burning"
 He surely earned the medal said and Mir. and Mrs. Barclay agreed that he did.

COTJNTY TAX RA TIES
 FIXED BY THE BOARD

county which. with the levy to wipe out the deficiency, have increased the tax rate about ten cents. This county, having but one producing mine, has received no benefit from the increased taxes the mines of the state will pay this year. except as it has come through the lowering of the state tax rate, and that is very little Counties in which the great mines are located have ma terialIy reduced their tax rates because they can tax the mines for county pur- poses, but Maricopa county is called upon to pay one-fifth of the state ex- penses just as she did last year.
 The schools of the county asked for s99,115.32 more than last year. the total demanded this year being s390.164S2. This large increase comes through the expansion of the schools, thirteen dis tricts asking for manual training and domestic science this year, and the de mands of the different districts run from twenty per cent to ninety-twO per cent more than last years require- ments. The law has been amended of late years that the board of supervisors have no control over schools, the power lying with the boards of trustees of the different districts who make their de- mands through the county school su- perintendent and the supervisors are compelled to levy at least the minimum amount demanded. An increase of thir- ty-four per cent in the amount the schools demand this year shows a commendable spirit of progress even though it is expensive
 Taxes will be a little higher this year in this county, according to the valuations individuals placed upon their property last year. If they put their property in at fifty per cent of it's val ue they will pay only the increment fin addition to their last ears taxes, those who own property no doubt are willing to witness increasing values of their holdings and contribute to the expense of government accordingly. Those who were assessed at thirty and forty per cent of the value of their holdings will this year pay tribute to the full cash value plan now in full swing.

One of the hydra heads of the Mexi- ing to a message received yesterday by Senor Castillon, the Mexican federal consul at this point. It was transmit ted by NJ Diebold, inspector of cOnsuls at Fl Paso who under the date of Au- gust 23 wrote:
 ''I acknowledge yours with great sat- isfaction and state that yesterday was taken from Zapata his last stand after a bloody battle. This ends the cam paign in the stae of Moreles and peace has been restored in that state"
 This information is based on the fol- lowing to General Jesus Castro com manding the garrison at Juarez of the date of August 19: Bands of Zapa- tistas have been completely destroyed as properly speaking the campaign in the state of Moreles has reached a con- clusiOn. Munitions of war which have been in the possession of Zapata for two consecutive years and by which he has terrorized the state of Moreles and the whole country have taken by the federal army.
 This same glorious army has taken the last position of Zapata after a bloody battle which has given con clusion to the campaign in that state. The prisoners and the war implements have given proof of this great victory which this telegram now confirms"

DEADL|EST FOE
 IF TARANTULA
An Interesting Insect Which is Not Only Death to Big Spiders, But a Savior of the Grape Crop by Killing Other Pests

In the great number of tarantula hawks in Phoenix this year it is shown how nature eVenS things up for there are many more tara utulas than usual. Some will ask what a tarantula hawk is. It is not bird but an insect which might be mistaken for a gigantic mud wasp. It is more than twice as large as the wasp and is of a steel blue color. Its chief mission seems to be to keep down the tarantula population and the hawks are now in the midst of that work and are doing it thoroughly.
 The conflicts between the hawks and the big spiders are fierce but they all have the same ending, the quick death of the tarantula. It makes no differ ence how large the tarantula is or how small the hawk, one can bet on the issue of the battle before it is begun. The other day, the writer sitting on his front porch saw a hawk in conflict with a tarantula apparently as large as a saucer. They rolled over and over along the entire length of the porch into the grass beyond, where the tarantula lay quiet.
 The attack is usually begun in the nest of the spider. The hawk finds the hole and darts in and out finally bring ing the tarantula with him. The hawk hunts tarantulas not for the mere sake of killing. but for the propagation of the hawk family. In this connection, wherever the words him" or "her" in references to the hawk have appeared, in this naratrion, the words she and her should be substituted, for prob ably. only the females of the species have any business with the spiders. After the death of the tarantula. the hawk deposits her eggs in his head and buries the body of her victim. The body furnishes sustenance for the lar vac
 Now and then the tarantula hawk stings a human, inflicting a painful wound but not a serious one, about such a wound as a wasp is capable of infIicting. The hawk though does not hunt trouble with humans as wasps
 sometimes do but stings only when 1t is disturbed among shrubbery.
 The hawks this year are proving of great service to orchardists and owners of vineyards by their destruction of june bugs which work great havic among grapes, figs and other fruit They settle by hundreds upon the vines scores of them settling upon single bunch of ripe grapes. In half an hour there is nothing left but the skins.
 The june bugs appeared in great numbers this season, before the grapes were quite ripe but soon after their
