LANDS MONSTER OF THE SEA
New Jersey Pier Angler Finds ESQ
Pound sunfish Trapped in the
PiIing.


Wildwood, N. J.-When James G.
McQuiston of 6611 Lansdowne ave
nue., Philadelphia, decided to spend
Saturday fishing off the Crest pier he
suspected that the largest he would
land would be knghsh. but after a
half-day's sport he discovered what he
supposed to be a monster turtle caught
in the shallow breakers beneath the
pier and among the pilings. Hasten
ing to the spot he threw his weight
upon its rough back and found that
he had new specimen.
Calling for help, McQuiston soon had
a number of pier attaches with him
and together they stranded the mon
ster, after receiving some rough
usage from his two gigantic fins. Nc.
Quiston placed the fish on the pier and
a hundred names were given 1t be-
fore an interested pedagogue from the
Wildwood schools classified It as a
sunfsh. McQuiston shipped his catch
to his Philadelphia home. The sun
fish is seldom seen as far north as the
Jersey coast, its habitat being In the
southern waters, where 1t sometimes
grows 70 immense size.

SEEMS THAT INSTINCT ERRS
Deluded Rabbits That Make Homes
In OIL Pipes In California
Birds Grave Error.

That almost unerring instinct which
carries animals through grave dan
gers has led in many instances in the
Midway and Sunset oil fields of Call
fornia to their undoing, the Scientific
American remarks. Chief among such
victims are rabbits and water fowl.
A jackrabbit and a cottontail find a
nice round, smooth hole. There are
many such in the oil fields where oil
piping is a necessity for the transpor
tation of oil to the refineries. The rab
bits decide to set up housekeeping
there. The cottontail desires per
manent home, and the jackrabbit
wants refuge safe from malevolent
man.
Soon they discover their habitat is
being moved. No doubt they are
frightened, but they instinctiveIy stay
within their retreat. One end of the
hole is closed. Even then they do not
leave. Soon the other end Of the hole
is darkened. Then 1t is darkness
eternal for the furry pair.
Some time later 1t is discovered that
newly laid oil pipe is choked. After
great labor the line is disjointed and
the remains Of many rabbits removed
Thousands of rabbits have been thus
exterminated IN the oil fields.
The death rate among water fowl iH
even greater. Again, as with the rab
bits. instinct leads them to certain de-
struction. Every little lake Of oil in
the vicinity Of a gusher is a trap tor
the unthinking birds. At twilight and
dawn these tar-colored lakes appear az
bodies of water to the deluded fowl

19 years old, must die in the electric
chair here tomorrow, for the confess
ed murder Of three people at Ircnton,
Ohio, last spring. Ills appeal to the
state board Of pardons was refused.
Last May, Beard confessed to the

neard was employed on the farm, and
disappeared after the murder Accord
ing to Captain Coughlin of the Chica-

The evening before the day set for
their departure Mr.. Dacre discharged
all the servants. Just about dusk he
came hurrying into the house in
great state Of excitement.
why, what is the matter?" Ques-
toned Alma anxiously, as she noted
his colorless face and trembling frame.
Listen, my dear" said Mr.. Dacre
hurriedly. "You must leave here at
once if certain thing happens, and it
may happen quickly The war spirit
is abroad. They are suspicious of me
because of my business connections
with other countries. I was just secret
ly advised that l am listed as one of
the prescribed"
oh, uncle, they will do you no
harm, surely?"
They will hamper, perhaps arrest
me l was all ready to leave here in
the morning. fear they will not al
low me to do So"
"But why not?"
"Officious, and in some cases cor
rupt persons will try to prevent me
from taking my fortune out of the
country. See, Alma, and Dacre drew
q little chamois bag from secret
pocket, the diamonds in this repre-
sent the bulk Of my fortune Take 1t,
secrete it. If am arrested fly at once
mot into Germany, as we proposed,
for that course is blocked, but straight
for Paris"
'But, uncle"
"Quickl they are here already, as /
feared cried Mr. Dacre.
His worst apprehensions were con-
firmed There was loud summons
from the end Of musket at the street
door
DO not lose your nerve, dear child"
spoke Dacre. They dare not harm me
and will soon Join you in Paris.
Hurry away through the rear garden,
take the first train for the border. At
all hazards protect the fortune with
which have entrusted YOU"
Then he was gone to answer the i'm
perious summons at the street door.
Alma fingered only long enough to
learn that he was really taken in
charge as a suspect. Then she filed
her handbag, secured the jewels in a
safe pocket and hurried away through
the garden apparently unobserved.

How the Humbua First Buzzsd.

1t Is not generally known that the
word 'humbug," long so much in
vogue, is of Scottish origin There was
in olden time a family called Bogue
or Boag, of that ilk in Berwickshire. A
daughter Of the family married son
OF Hume OF Hume. In process Of time,
by default Of male issue, the Bogue
estate deyolyed on one Gordie Hume,
who was called popularly Hume o.
the Bogue, or, rather Hum o the
Bug"
He was inclined to the marvellous,
and had a vast inclination to exalt
himself, his wife, family, brother and
all his ancestors on both sides. His
tales, however, did not pass current
and at last, when anyone made an ex
traordinary statement in the Nearns
the hearer would shrug up his shoul
ders, and style it just "a hum O. the
bug" This was shortened into hum
bug and the word soon spread over
the whole kingdom.

And the Mystery Of 1t All Is, Who
Cut the Good Bovine's
Tail off?
WEARS A KIMONO NOW
Poor Beast Had Nothing With Which
to Fight OF the TroubIesome Files,
So owner Made It Nice Covering
Of yellow.

Chicago Mrs. Emma Mylie, who
owns several lots at North Sixty-sec-
ond and West North avenues, recently
pitched her tent on one of them, plant
ed vegetable and rose garden about
it, tethered Tom, her horse. and Bes-
sic, her COW, near by, and settled her
self to spend happy summer in the
open. Bessie grazed away stolidiy
and seemed to be perfectly contented
with life until few nights ago, when
something dreadful happened.
That is why George A. H. Scott Of
the Illinois Humane society received
an anonymous telephone call to the ef-
feet that it would be well to investi-
gate case OF cruelty to animals in the
vicinity of the Westward Ho Golf club.
Charles H. Brayne, an officer Of the
society, was dispatched to investigate.
Near Mrs. Mylie's tent he came full
upon vision of flaming yellow. At
first he thought it was brilliantly
painted sign. Then he saw that it was
alive. He approached feRrfully From
one end Of the yellow mass pair OF
horns protruded, from the other, alas!
there emerged all of what was left OF
Bessie's once long and bushy tail.

pointing to the yellow object.

Il had to make yellow kimono for

manner that made old Tom over there
envious. But the other night some
body slipped up and cut half her tai

Brayne wondered against whom the
cruelty charge should be placed.

FIRST USED FOR AMUSEMENT
Inventors Of cunpowder Apparently
Had No Idea Of Its De-
structlve Qualities.

That gunpowder was well known for
a century or so before it was used in
guns appears probable from inyestiga-
tions in connection with celebration
at Oxford of the anniversary of the
birth Of Roger Bacon, the Literary d.
gest states. Bacon's claims to the in
vention Of gunpowder are often pressed
by English writer's in opposition to
those OF Berthold Schwartz, who is
generally said to have invented 1t
about 1344--a century after Bacon's
time. It seems certain from the lat
ter's writings that he was familiar
with the composition, not as its inYen-
tor, but because Of its use In various
countries OF the world. Apparently,
however, it was regarded merely as 8
flrework. q means Of producing sud
den and brilliant fame, and its users
were far from suspecting that in a
confined space the expansive power
OF its gases could be put to use in
hurting projectiles. Says an editorial
writer in the Revue des Questions
Scientiflque; THE text that we have
studied allows no further doubt that
Bacon knew of gunpowder. On page
21S, under the title OF the Power OF
the Lombards, he restates what he
has already said in his Opus Majus
of the explosive properties Of this
powder. but he also informs us that
1t is known in various parts Of the
world, and that it is composed Of
saltpeter, sulphur and willow char
coal"

SAVED The Jewels

In the most critical situation Of her

Adrian Bond would have been speedily
coming to the rescue Of his lady love
in distress, but that grim visaged war
had presented its ugly menace and
rude clamors shook the common
wealth.
Her father and mother were at
Paris. There, too, were tho Bonds,
making the European trip with their
closest friends. It was strange cir
cumstanCe that had taken Alma away
from them 1t appeared that a half
brother Of Mrs. Waite lived in a little
town in Belgium, near the German
border. He had invited the family to
pay him visit, but their plans would
not admit Of 1t. Then he expressed a
wish to see Alma, who had been named
after his dead wife. He was fervent
in his appeal and half-minded to give
up his business and return to America
he said. The result was that Alma
took quick trip from Paris and found
herself an honored guest in the splen

a declaration Of war. Mr.. Dacre has
