Where does the sea serpent dwell?
Its appearances are only semi-occa-
sional. Somewhere 1t must have a
home. The question is, what region
is its normal habitat?
The creature is no longer a mere
joke. Science has indorsed it. No less
an authority than the late Prof. Agas-
sig expressed a belief that there was
such an animal as the sea serpent
at all event, IAN animal corresponding
more or less to the descriptions given"
The Smithsonian monograph on
Fishes of the Ocean Depths" by
Goode and Bean. says: 1T cannot be
doubted that somewhere in the depths
OF the seas are living certain animals
unknown to science. and of great size,
which come occasionally to the sur
face and give foundation to such
stories as those OF the sea serpent"
In short, we may fairly regard the
sea serpent as an accepted fact in ma
ture. But this does not imply that the
creature is a snake. The likelihood is
much greater that it is a monstrous
fish, or else a cephalopod, such as the
formidable giant squid. The latter.
which Is by far the largest animal in
the world. having a total length of
$50 feet. including its tentacles. Is at
least the possible original of what has
been so long esteemed a myth. As for
the fish theory, one should remember
than an eel-like or snake-like form is
rather commonly characteristic of the
fishes of the ocean depths.

Continued from last week.
AT that instant the automobile swept
over the hill top like cannon ball and
crashed into tie horse and wagon.
The happy song of the children was
changed into screams of fright. From
the men in the automobile came one
long concerted yell of terror The two
vehicles became one confused heap
from which emanated the pitiful cries
of the wounded and the means of the
dying. For few moments the old
horse struggled and kicked viciously,
then finding himself free from the
wreck, went hobbling with a broken
leg down through the brush, dragging
the shafts of the wagon after him
The driver of the machine shot
through the air and landed against the
trunk of a tree, where he lay in a semi.
conscious condition for sometime. One
of the men in the hind seat received
fractured skull. The other one was
pitched violently forward against the
front wheel of the spring wagon one of
the split spokes of which pierced his
throat, entering just above the collar
bone, ripping the windpipe in two and
coming out between the shoulder
blades. There he died in horrible
agony and was found by those who
came first to the rescue hanging limp
and dead. Little Phillip Castor, who
was driving the horse became en-
tangled in one of the front wheels of
the spring wagon and was kicked TO
death by the horse during its struggles
to get free. Nellie Thompson was pin
ned tightly to the ground by rear
corner of the wagon box which had
crushed her brest. Her sweet blue
eyes were still open. One of her little
white hands was clutching the edge of
the box while with the other she still
grasped a little bouquet of wild
flowers which she had plucked by the
way. 1t seemed that she had died
without struggle. The rest of the
children were badly bruised but none
of them was seriously hurt. | will

story as meant TO tell only enough to
show what monster reckless auto

Justice demands the enactment of
law to suspend the license to run an
automobile of any one whose careless

wholesome caution and ultimately ex
terminate the speed idiot.

Mr.. Barron.
We are all glad TO note that for
some time Mr.. Hearst has been devot-
ing a great deal of attention TO n
structing the public, along correct lines,
on financial matters. He has not hesi-
tated to speak the exact truth, defend
ing the stock exchange against abuse
when unmerited and crlticising when
criticism is called for
The country owes Mr.. Hearst a
debt Of gratitude for devoting gener-
GUS space in his newspa pers to the en-
lightenment of four million people daily
on financial questions. He has en-
gagged the best writer's and-I know
whereof l speak-has given them q
free hand in treating all financial mat
ters on sound lines. The Wall Street
Journal welcomes the education Of the
great body of the people thus carried
on by Mr.. Hearst, on the same ethical
standard that our organization set up
from the start"
He called upon B. c. Forbes business
