Curious Ear of the Catfish.

The catfish uses his lungs as an or gan of hearing The needless lung be comes q closed sac filled with air and commonly known as the swim bladder. In the catfish. as in the suckers. chubs and most brook fish. the air bladder is large and is connected by slender tube. the remains of the trachead. to the esophagus. At its front it fits closely to the vertebraI column. The anterior vertebrie are much enlarged. twisted together. and through them passes chain of bones which con- nects with the hidden cavity of the air The bladder therefore assists the ear of the catfish as the tympanum and its bones assist the ear of the higher animals An ear of this sort can carry little range of variety in sound. It probably gives only the i'm pression of jars or disturbances in the water

A Sunset In Scotland.

It was sunset of strange tints that evening, background of clouds of deep violet tipped with crimson. The sky. of the very palest blue. had been turned by the brightness of the sun into lake of silver. in which doated small Heecy cio,dlets of brilliant rose pink. like islets floating in q crystal sea. The rays of the sun behind the purple clouds threw long shafts of dazzling brightness. which tipped the dark background with silver as the sun kisses the petals of daisy. Every peak in the long range of mountains on the west was rose tipped, but the highest of them all lowered clear and cone shaped in the distance, glistening in shimmering mantle of sikAer and pale blue. as if the sky had wrapped 1t round it's own cerulean color.-"A Gar, den of Spices" by A.

A Sinqer's Avarice.

We hear q great deal about the enor- nous salaries paid to famous prima donnas nowadays. and we also hear a great deal about their charity and good nature. In the reign of Queen Anne one of the most celebrated singers was Mrs. Tofts. who had a veritable craze for money making as well us great deal of personal con- ceit. Pope. who never spared any per sons or objects that he satirized. wrote an epigram that must have greatly an- noyed the avaricious singer: So bright is thy beauty. so charming thy
 song. As had drawn both the beasts and their
 Orpheus along. But such Is thy avarice and such Is thy
 pride
 That the beasts must have starved and
 the poet have died.

CUTTING THE BASES.
Mike Kelly Once Scored From Second
 Through the Pitchers Box.


 Through the Pitchers Box.
 Writing on "Take Chance Versus Play It Safe'' in baseball in tue Amer ican Magazine, Hugh s. Fullerton tells the following story about Mike Kelly, the great Chicago ball player of a generation ago:
 'The chances Kelly took were the marvels of his era. l have seen him again and again cut straight across the diamond from first to third base or from second to the home plate and land in safety because the umpire fail ed to see his reckless move
 "One day Kelly cut from first to third on slow infield bounder. He ran past the umpire, who was racing toward first. screaming at him to watch the play. and. swinging straight across. he tore for third. Gaffney called the runner out at first and whirled just in time to catch 'Kel go- ing into third. then called him out. Kelly walked to the umpire protested an instant: then. knowing Galfney had caught him in the act, he remarked, All right. MT Umpire; I've never been on these grounds before and didn't know which was second base
 Two innings later he scored from second base through the pitchers box and was not seen"

A TRIBE OF TRAMPS.
East African Outcasts That Won't
 Work and Will Steal.

While on hunting expedition to British East Africa in quest of pictures of wild horses Paul ]. Rainey discov- cred that even among savages there is a tribe which closely resembles our own knights of the road" They are the Wandorobo. They are found along the Guaso Nyiro and Guaso Narok riv CTS and are regarded as outcasts by the other native tribes.
 The Wandorobo most closely resem- bles his American brother. the tramp. in that he refuses to work. He Is q hunter and Is exceedingly expert with the poisoned arrow, which he uses ex- clusively. A large club he carries is used to ward off and to scare wild beasts that may come too near.
 Although the Wandorobo has settle. ments fin some places. he wanders far from home and usually makes his bed in the top of tree to be safe from wild animals. He Is a notorious thief. and whenever he approaches an en- campment the askari, or policeman. who is the only native permitted by the government to wear arms, watches the Wandorobo very carefully. for there is nothing too hot or too heavy for him to try to make off with.-Cl.- cago Inter Ocean.

SHOOK OFF DEATH.
Ordeal Through Which Archdeaeon
 Stuck Once Passed.


 Stuck Once Passed.
 Archdeacon Stuck. who climbed Mount Mckinley. the great American peak, once had his life saved in T most extraordinary way.
 Late one evening. while exploring in the arctic regions, he was unlucky enough to fall through the ice into the water on his way back to camp. He was accompanied by an Eskimo boy in charge of sledge and team of dogs. and the boy soon had him out again. but as the thermometer was then about 70 degrees below zero the possibility of saving his life seemed of course. and before q fire could have been got well alight the chances were that he would have frozen to death.
 The resourceful boy thought of a better plan than that. The explorer was already scarcely able to move, but the boy took one of the dogs out of the traces and forced the archdeacon to take It's place. Then he dashed the l unfortunate mans legs until he was compelled to run. applying his whip : mercilessly every time the archdeacon showed signs of 1agging.
 In this way the boy kept him mov- ing rapidly toward their camp. and by the time they reached it the terrible languor of death that had threatened to overcome the archdeacon had been shaken off.-Pearson's Weekly.

Do We Dodue Death?

Can we mortals always be trusted to do the right thing? The fear of death is general. Life is sacrificed every hour because the rules of health are not obeyed Death is the one great monster of dread and from whom all flee. Yet how many safeguard their living in such way as to avert his coming? The rules of health are vio lated because of the immunity we feel. but finally the penalty must be paid No argument Is needed to enforce the lesson Everybody knows 1t. The rules of right living are clear. explicit. Vic
