CURIOUS PIPEFISH.
The Males Have Pockets In Which
They Carry Their Young.


They Carry Their Young.
The kangaroo has always seemed to
have the monopoly Of that convenient
way OF carrying its babies in a pouch,
but it has been discovered that a fish
has the same useful receptacle. which
it uses for the same purpose. The pipe
fish, as it is called from the length OF
its jaws, has pocket on the under
side Of its body nearly half its length.
1t is found In the male species only and
is the only part of its body which is
unprotected by large fat plates, which
take the place Of scales in its protective
armor.
II a pipefish is taken from the water
and It's little ones shaken out OF the
pouch back into the water they always
seem either unable or disinclined to
run away. But If the father is placed
in the water again ali the small fish
Immediately swim back into the pouch
These curious little creatures have pre-
hensile tails, which they use to hold on
to the seaweed to protect themselves
from being carried away by the tide.
The pipefish is similar to the small eel,
being about foot in length and an
inch in thickness. But, unlike the eel.
it has very long jaw and the peculiar
defensive armor already mentioned

almost starting out Of his head; he tells
me who he is and how ignorant he is
OF all that has happened In the world
OF science since he left.

sinks, and, covered with confusion,

The Supreme Court.

The supreme court Of the United
States is supposed to be strictly nom
political, free from all parties and
above all parties. 1t was designed by
the fathers Of the constitution to act
as the governor" or "fywheel," of
our system Of government, maintain
ing justice and right in the midst Of
the wrangling factions and clashing in
terests. According to the theory, the
supreme court is to know nothing but
the constitution and the laws that are
made in pursuance thereof and in ev-
cry matter that is brought up before it
TO hold the balance even, regardless of
everything else. New York American.

RoBBING THE COAL PILE.
Smoke That Goes Up the Chimney Is
Fuel Thrown Away.

Smoke That Goes Up the Chimney ls
Fuel Thrown Away.
For the benefit Of any one who may
not see the analogy between robbed
coal pile and smoking chimney It
may be briefly and simply explained.
The visible part in smoke is nearly
all carbon. either as SCOT or cinder, and
carbon is the principal combustible
part of coali. e.. the useful part, the
part capable Of yielding heat. Carbon
completely burned forms an invisible
gas, carbon dioxide; therefore when
ever the gases from stack show
black they contain carbon. which indi-
Gates that complete combustion has
not taken place in the boiler furnace.
In other words, all Of the available
heat in the coal has not been realized.
It is the same as though the CORE
spending part Of the coal fed into the
furnace had been thrown away, for,
although it has passed through the
furnace, it has been thrown away up
the stack beyond recovery. Is this,
then. so very different from robbing
the coal pile?
The owner who through ignorance
allows conditions to exist which are
not favorable to the most economical
operation Of his boiler furnaces, al
though he is unwittingiy robbing him
self, is nevertheless stealing from his
own coal pile. e.-Power.

The Earl Of Wemyss was on a Fife

got his ball on one occasion SO near the
hole that to play it was, as it appeared
to him, superfuous. So he simply tip
ped It in with the toe Of his boot.
The caddie revolted instanter, threw
down the clubs and looked horrifed.

Returning to the Office, he prepared q
memorandum, stating that he declined to
sign the permit, and setting forth his rea-

came back TO him, with this comment scrb-

with himself. At length he decided to stick

RAILROAD EARNINGS.

Railroad gross earnings continue to
show considerable falling off from
those of a year ago, the total of all
United States roads making weekly re-
ports to "Dun's Review" amounting
for the first two weeks in June to
Si6,918,225, a decrease as compared
with the same period last year of 81
per cent. The returns for the second
week of the month, however, exhibit
an improving tendency, the roads re-
porting showing loss of about 4 per
cent, as contrasted with 81 per cent
last week. In addition, comparison is
now being made with a period when
railroad earnings were larger than at
any previous corresponding date, which
in part was due to the movement of &C
cumulated freight that was caused by
the heavy spring foods that prevailed
in many sections last year.
In the following table are given
gross earnings of United States rail-
roads reporting for the first two weeks
OF June and the loss as compared with
earnings of the same roads for the
period year ago; also
for roads that reported for the same
weeks in the two preceding months,
together with the percentage Of loss
or gain as compared with last year:
