Flying Fish.

Interesting are the habits Of the hy-

found principally in the region Of the
trade winds. "Does 1t rise from the
sea like a bird? you ask. No. 1t
shoots out Of the waves like an arrow
and with outspreading wings sails on
the wind in graceful curves, rising
sometimes, one might say. to the
height OF fifteen feet, but not often SO
high. and then, lowering, it again
touches the crest of a wave and re-
news its flight. This operation may be
repeated till 1t covers distance, say,
Of 800 yards in the case Of the stout

not half that distance is covered. A
ship sailing through the trade winds
win often be visited on dark nights by
flying fish, which hit the sails or rig
ging and fall on deck, where, Of course,
they soon give up life.-St- Nicholas.

PhlladeIphIa sunday RECORD.

In every home, where keeping abreast Of the
worlds progress day by day is regarded as an
educational duty as well as pleasure, the Sun-
day newspaper ought TO be a welcome visitor.
In discriminating homes, particularly where there
are young people whose tastes and opinions are
largely nodded by what they read, as much care
and Judgment should be exercised in the selec.
tion of Sunday newspaper as in the choice Of
books. We commend '.The Philadelphia sun
day Record" to our readers as paper that Is as
clean it is conscientious in the presentation of
the news; as varied In its appeal 10 every member
of the family as 1t Ii vigorous, and As indispen-
sable as II Is interesting.
The characteristics that have popularlzed the
daily issue OF ssThe Record" are the back bone OF
the Sunday issue. Its news pages cling to
s'Record" standards OF accuracy, conciseness and
reliability. The features that give the daily its
place OF preem inence in the household are en-.
larged and emplifed on Sunday. the columns de-
voted to woman's interests, fashions, science and
domestic arts grow into pages, and new depart
ments. covering the best Of current hnmor Qn
black and white and color the fiction, are added.
The illustrated Sunday Magazine alone, with its
weekly grst of hlgh-class stories and articles by
leading writer's, is worth more than the price Of
the papers
"The Sunday Record is bigger aud better
daily Record, built up on the sanest and a0undest
lines OF Sunday journalist with the idea that the
intelligent reader, having more leisure for liter
aly entertainment on sunday than any other days
looks 70 IL quality as we'll as It's quantity when
we say that daily Record quality is maintained

There is nothing which savors more
strongly of hypocrisy than the newspaper
whose editorial columns are filed with

IVORY NUT TREES.

How the Fruit Changes From Liquid
TO Solid Substance.
Once considered useless, the ivory
nut has become an important product
and now adds considerably to Ecua-

10000 tons are shipped from that
country each year, worth about ST.
100000, while Colombia and Panama
are both increasing their output.
The tree is stunted palm fern
with short thick trunk which grows
slowly to height Of ten to twenty
feet, marked by spiral lines or scars
left by fallen leaves and fruit stems.
The leaves resemble large gorgeous
green feathers and are like those OF
the cocoanut palm, while the blossoms
are of pure white and very fragrant
The seeds or kernels resulting from
these are first in the form Of sacks OF
sweet. refreshing liquid that changes
into soft, delicious, edible pulp and
finally becomes the hard nut Of COM
merce. The nuts mature very slowly,
requiring from blossom to ripeness
fully a year. The gathering Of green
or unripe tagua nuts is prohibited by
law in EcpadOr.
Hundreds Of natives, called taguaros,
make business OF gathering these
nuts from the wild trees of the in

RATS and fioat them down the rivers
to Esmera!das or other Pacific ports,
where they are sold In open markets

District Attorney Deuel. Rudy made a
confession said
The Offering Of a reward for the re-
turn of stolen automobiles is bait to
auto thieves 1t is a direct invitation to
such thieves TO go out and steal ma
chimes.
II do not believe that the police have
been negligent In their efforts to detect
thieves of this class A policeman is
not AN expert chauffeur and cannot tell
the make Of a car a block away, as
many expert chaufreurs can easily do.
The fact Is, we put too many burdens
on the police. immense as the city OF
New York Is, and with the various du-
ties which are imposed on them in the
line Of their duties.
Incidentally. and perhaps as might
be expected. all the men brought before
me charged with the theft of autos have
been chauffeurs. ] think that Is due, to
an extent, to the feeling of power be-
meath them which many OF those who
operate autos entertain. Dishonest
chauffeurs seem to think they have n
special privilege 10 do what they please
with an automobile which Is the prop
erty of some one else. 1t is peculiar
phase Of the nature Of such men,"

that Rudy was questioned in the Office

with no opportunity OF the police to be
present. thus shutting them out OF the
chance to Join in the sweating Of the
prisoner and participating in the credit
for prosecuting Rudy and arresting
other auto thieves whom he might im
plicate.
Following Ruddy's confession the
question has been raised II by Offering
what was practically u standing reward
for stolen automobiles the insurance
companies and their adjusters were not
violat ting the law. The act was viewed
in some quarters as compromising u
felony, while at the same time setting
a premium on crime, the money reward
being an incentive TO thieves to steal
cars so that they might obtain the re-
ward.
So serious a view OF the situation has
been taken by insurance companies that
issue policies on automobiles that "a
meeting Of representatives OF some of
the best known concerns in New York
was held last week for the purpose
Of discussing the advisability Of Offer
ing no rewards whatever in future and
