CURIOUS DEEP SEA FISHES
Captured In Depths of One to Two
Thousand Fathoms In At
!antic Ocean.

New York.-These fish were cap
tured In depths of from one to two
thousand fathoms in the Atlantic, and
brought to the surface by means of q
brawl. To preserve the extraordinary
shapes Of these strange dwellers of
the ocean floor, corps of artists
quickly made casts OF their bodies
and copied the colors. The majority
Of those living at great depths were
jet black.
Their luminous organs, which light
up the dark. regions which they in
habit, are marvellous. These fish plow
through the dark waters like flaming
torches. Some have elongated
shouts, on the tips of which are
luminous organs emitting great vol
umes of light. Others have rows Of
luminous cells on top and below their
bodies, with redectors and lenses

DREAMER WAKES UP IN RIVER
somnambulist Never Asks How or
Why, but SWims After
Game ls Won.

New York.-Several odd feats in
somnambulism have been performed
by Melville Haynes of Uniontown,
Westminster, but he never suffered
much through them until he got a
ducking In the Hudson river.
Haynes went to bed at his usual
hour Saturday night. He foated OF
into the land of dreams and into the
Polo grounds. "Big Chief Meyers
lifted the ball over the center field
fence with the bases full, three men
on and four runs needed to win.
Haynes leaped up and yowled in de-

Then he awokg to find himself
swimming in the Hudson river. : It
was shocking change from the warm
bleachers, but the wetness Of the
water was unmistakable, and Haynes
did not stop to ask Where am II"
and How did get here?" No; like
a man Of common sense, he simply
swan ashore.
There he was, at q. m, standing
on a pier at Hastings, clad only in
drenched pajamas, and Uniontown a
mile away. A kind policeman lent him
a suit OF clothes. Haynes and his
family are still trying to figure, out
how he walked the mile from house
to river, fast asleep, and In pajamas

or gun. With an outfit of guns and
revolyers and not too much clothing
he embarked, and by devious ways
finally reached San Domingo, in Costa
Rica.
Here he found revolution made to
order for him. General Zorro del
Rama was at the head of the move
ment and had with him about 100
native, ragged soldiers, armed with
machettes. revolvers and some shot
guns. The soldier Of fortune from
San francisco was gladly welcomed
into the ranks. The general made
him colonel right off the reel.
The army raided neighboring towns
and the natives offered no resistance.
Then the regular army appeared and
che reyolutionists were put to rout.
General Zorro del Rama named a rem
devious where they were all to meet
of a certain time and the army was
split up into squads Of twenties. Colo
mel Porter and his division fell Id with
. detachment of regulars. The colonel
made a brave showing, but his black
knights fed while the fleeing was
good. The colonel and a half dozen
of his soldiers were captured and con-
demned to be shot at sunrise.
The officer in charge of the firing
squad told his men they were to fire
when he dropped his sword. Porter
saw the signal and profited by his ad-
vance information. Just as the sword
dropped Colonel Porter dropped back
into his grave. He fingered just a
trifle too long, for, as he dropped, a
bullet skinned through his shirt and
scared his shoulder.
Then came firing from another quar-
ter. Some of Del Rama's men had
crept on the enemy unawares. During
the fighting Porter crawled out of his
grave, which he had been forced to
dig himself, and made for the jungle,

CITY BOY VERSUS
A COUNTRY CALF
Lad Loses in Skirmish, but Fl.
naIIy Wins Out.
RUBs SALT ON HIDE
Kansas Farmer Tells the Newly Hired
College Youth to "sait the Critter,"
and What Happened After That
Makes the Story.

Kansas City, Kan.-A farmer near
here recently hired city lad to help
him with chores on the farm. The
first morning he instructed the boy to
take some salt out to the pasture and
salt the calf
The boy took q quart OF salt in q
can, cought the "critter," pressed its
neck between his knees, and then be-
gan vigorously rubbing the salt into
the Calls shoulders. Mr.. Cowlet I'M
mediately let out a whoop, and with q
mighty center rush, landed the boy
on his head, kicked him, scattered the
salt in all directions and did
Marathon across the prairie, head up,
back arched and tail bristling with
rage.
But Mr.. City Lad was no weakling
he had not played on the freshman
team for nothing so he decided to salt
that calf Or die in the attempt. He
went to the house, got little cloth
bag and filled it with salt, swung it
over his shoulder and took after that
calf, which was silhouetted against
the sky, which meant a hill q half
mile away.
No sooner had the lad turned the
corner to leave the corral than the
calf saw him, and saw that he didn't
skid a particle as he came around the
corner, so he cleared a rod and half
at the first jump.
But pc was no match to the young
college youth who had been chasing
imaginary honors around padded
track for several hours each day all
winter, and after rs miles the calf
gave up-the triumphant boy took
him down and literally rubbed his soft
hide full Of salt.
the calf was perspiiritus, Of course,
and the salt was formed into a su-
penatural salt solution which, as 1t
began to cool, precipitated until the
poor calf looked like walking piece
of rock salt.
But the worst part of the story is
yet to come. A bunch of horses in
the same pasture scented the salt
and began to lick 1t of the charged

began to understand that the ring Of

Finally one day Miss schwarzloss
found her pet holding the telephone

would listen while and then begin
her chatter and half walls into the
telephone. Pleased at the show of
intelligence displayed by the cat.
Miss schwarzlose permitted her to
take down the telephone whenever the

whenever the telephone bell rings she

milk and cream that had been intrust-

In the pit thus created 20 feet down
lay the milk wagon. The horse was
sitting on top of it gasping helplessly

hundreds of bottles filled with milk in

Then came glass crash of more
than usual violence and from the up

the surprised face of the driver, drip
