FISH AND THEIR FOOD.
oueer Ways by Which Some Of the
ToothIess Species Get Meal.

Queer Ways by Which Some Of the
ToothIess Species Get Meal.
The curious ways in which fishes
eat form quite study. Some fishes
have teeth and some have none at all.
In some the teeth are found upon the
some in the stomach. Some draw in
their food by suction; the sturgeon is
one of this class. The jellyfish alb
serbs Its food by wrapping it's body
around the prey it covets. The star
fish fastcns itself to its victim, turns
Its stomach wrong side out and en-
CULTS its dinner without the formal
ity Of swallowing it through a mouth
first.
So there are all sorts of methods for
those regularly toothless, and the
fishes which have teeth show almost
as great a diversity in the number.
style and arrangement of them. The
ray or skate has a mouth set trans.
versely across its head, the jaws work
ing with a rolling motion like two
hands set back to back In the jaws
are three rows of fat teeth, set like a
mosaic pavement, and between these
rolling jaws the fish brushes oysters
and other mollusks like so many nuts"
The carp's teeth are set back in the
pharynx, so that it actually masti-
Gates its food in its throat, while the
sea urchin has five teeth surrounding
its stomach and working with a Pc
culiar centralized motion. WHICH makes
them do as good service as IL they

They Are Kept In Cages Like Canary
Birds In Japan.
Selling crickets is a lucrative bust
ness in Japan, where the insects are
valued for their songs and kept in
cages like canary birds. In Tokyo
there are two wholesale merchants who
send their agents into the streets of the
large cities. The insects are carried IN
little bamboo cages. A good seller
clears approximately from so cents to
dollar day. An insect valued for its
music brings from to cents. The
Kusa hibari is the most valuable Of all
the songsters, but the common cricket
and the grasshopper are considered ex-
cellent singers.
The singers are collected from the
fields in September, before laying time.
They are taken from the grass and
shut up in glass jars. Soon after they
are imprisoned the females lay their
eggs and die almost Immediately after

kept in temperature of 80 degrees G.
The young come forth in March.
The loss of eggs is about 10 per cent.

EXPLAINING THE PITT S B U R G

While surprize is an element con-
ceded to be absent from the suspen-
sion of the First-Second National bank
of Pittsburg and it's allied interests,
there is no lack of the dramatic in the
situation, according to press reports,
which describe it as "one of the larg-
est, if not the very largest failure for
a national bank" An amount totaling
between $155,OO0,0OO and $175,OOO,OOO
in bank resources, bonds, and stocks
of over forty public utility companies
and the finances Of private banking
house, the New York Sun relates, are
involved in the collapse of the firm of
brothers, j. S. and w. S. Kuhn. The
closing of the First-Second National
bank effected the closing also of two
smaller banks, one in McKeesport, Pa,
and one in Amherst, Ohio, which were
controlled by the same owners; and it
threw another Kuhn enterprise, the
immense American Water-works and

saying further that the First-Second
bank was handed down from the last
administration, that for some time it

"a sporadic case of unsound banking
that has no other Significance" The

The attitude of this government in
the Mexican situation seems hard to
understand. Just why the question of
armed intervention has been dallied
with by the president and the secre-
tary of state will probably be reveal
ed at some future time and may be a
good substantial reason. But for the
most part red-blooded Americans are
beginning to boil over the indignities
shown to American citizens by the
ugly Greasers. Perhaps with full I'M
derstanding of the Japanese connec-
ton with Mexico the people will APP
plaud President Wilson's calmness in
holding back to avoid plunging into a
much larger war than appears on the

prestige is being given good strong
