" HERE is in the American MI
scum Of Natural History, near
a window in Darwin Hail. a won
derfuny life-like and beautiful glass
model Of one Of the queerest animals
in the world. a Portuguese man-of-
war" It is an inhabitant Of the ocean,
a sailor, loving especially the warm
waters Of the Gulf Stream, with their
CLEANS Of tropical sunshine. and their
little MONDAY breezes- Here is

appears in the museum, but without
the flower-like coloring which makes
il as beautiful as some strange, dell

The translucent tentacIes that
hang like shimmering strings Of
pearls from the Floating form,

two yards in length, but in some spe-
cimens they attain a length Of twenty
feet They are armed with rows Of
nettle-cells, which sting like electric
sparks and are fatal in their effects
upon small fishes.
The name comes, as may be guessed.
from the striking resemblance to the
outline Of a ship under sail, and this
name is further justified by the fact
that as the strange hull is driven along
by the wind il tacks and veers in
most surprising way when struck by
little flaws or tossed in the troughs
Of little wavelets. whipping the broad
smooth swells Of a midsummer sea 1
remember once seeing a Portuguese
man-of- war from the deck OF an At
lantic liner, which was so magically
BEAUTIFUL with its rainbow hues, and so
fascinating with its apparently
studied evolutions, that people dropped
their books on all sides and rushed to
the rails to lean over and watch:
the ship Of pearl which, poets feign,
Sails the unshadOwed main,
The veuturous bark that filings
On the sweet Summer winds its pur-
pied wings
In CULTS enchanted
But this captivatingly beautiful or
ganism is as much a marvel TO science
as II is an inspiration to poets 1t is
not a single creature, as IL seems TO be,
but multiplex-a very Briareus in the
multiplicity Of the inrividual eXisten-

A JTTNE DRIVER REPLIES.

Editor EI Paso Herald;
No one likes to be misunderstood. In
an editorial of March II. in discussing
the knotty 'jitne" problem YOU stated
that il was the view Of ut least one
'jitne' driver. and probably OF a con-
siderable section OF the public, that all
the money collected in fares by the To-
cal street car company goes to Bos-
ton, that nothing is spent for wages. or
OF oil. or water. machinery. furniture,
telephone service, street paving, etc.
Perhaps my former letter was not
clear on that point such an idea would
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1915-03-19

be silly in the extreme, and we believe
no one holds such childish ideas.
Our point is this: According to an
item in The Herald last fan the local
street car company declared q dividend
Of p percent This was before the adj
vent Of the "iitnes." We do not be
lieve the street car company is operat-
ing at the present time NJ a loss. We
now a dividend Of or ne percent, and
the 'jitnes" are simply getting and
spending in FL Paso the difference be
tween p percent dividend and the
present dividend whatever il may be.
and we had an idea that dividend was
a surplus above all expenses and that
this all did 50 to Boston,

The Portuguese Thing Beauty

1t goes seeking its prey like a ship
fun Of pirates, but dressed out on a
holiday show Of pearly flags and
cleaning pennOns- For all its beauty
and grace, it is a polyp, a "siphOnOpho-
IA" many polyps are fast to rocks and
remain fixed all their lives; this one
has received the gift Of free-swimming,
and, as We have seen. il has developed
into a floating Siren. or rather a COM
pany disguised as one. The siphOnO-
phora are all composed Of colonies OF
pOlyps like this. They are all beauu-
fully colOred, delicate in appearance,
Transparent or translucent In them
the principle Of the devotion Of the
individual to the service Of the COM
munity has been carried so far that
the community itself has taken on the
form and aspect OF an individual
One of these beautiful organisms is
full of zooids-that is, undeveloped
individuals, or individuals developed
only in one direction, and that for the
benefit OF the colony. For instance,
the balloon-like sail of the Portu-
guese man-of-War. which serves il
also for a float when il rises to the
surface Of the water. is a zoOid, or
mass Of zooids, whose sole function is
to be useful to the colony In the ways
just mentioned. The singing ten
tacles are composed Of zOoids whose
entire active existence IS summed up
IN singing for the colony. Some Of

bells whose purpose is to prOpel the
organism through the water. These
swimming bells are composed OF zooids,
chained to their work like galley
slaves Others have zoOids whose
sole function is to feed the colony, and
so on.
o It would be interesting to know the
full history and all the internal econ
omy Of a Portuguese man-Of-war.
The members OF the organism which
are grouped just under the balloon
sail look, from their position, as II
they might be oligarchs Of the strange
community. One may be sure that
there are oligarchs there, for no COM
munity was ever formed in which en-
tire equality reigned throughout

WHEN STORMS COME

What is the stormiest month of the
school year for teacher and pupils?
Some will say the month of May. be-
cause the children are so eager then to
get out of doors after their long winter
Imprisonment. Others will sav Febru-
airy is the hardest month because ma
ture is so unkind at that time that
every one feels irritable. But IL you
will ask a thoughtful teacher this ques-
tion, she will say: The month of Sep
tember is the most difficult of all, be-
cause then the pupils are restless, un-
controlled. and mischievous. 1t is al
most impossible to make them do any
good work this month
The best way to solve the problem is
to bring pupils slowly to the full
school day within doors. None of them
ought to spend more than two hours a
day in the school house during the first
week They may add a half hour to
this each succeeding week until the
regulation program is attained. The
very young tots should spend not more
than an hour and a half in school each
day of the first week, and they should
be brought more gradually than older
pupils to the full school day within
doors. Taking the school year as a
whole, more work will be accomplished
by following this program than IL
pupils are plunged the first day into q
complete schedule of studies.-Profes-

NEXT WINTERS GERANIUMs

Geraniums that have blossomed all
winter in our windows will be dor
mant during the summer months and
usually rather unsightly. If you care
to increase your stock of this variety
you can cut up the old plants into
cuttings, which, II planted in indiWdu-
al plots and kept in a sunny place all
summer, will develop into strong,
blooming plants for next winter. If,
as you have space and time to care
for, then cut back the plants (say
about one-half of their size) and set
them out In the open ground. They
will at once commence to grow and
by Fall will have developed much new
wood. which will produce flowers dur
ing the SQmtng winter months.

DISCUSS AMERICAN EXCHANGE

London, Aug. 1.-THE financial
newspapers devote much space this
morning to a discussion of the Amer
lean Exchange. They generally re-
gard a loan in New York as inevitable.
The only difficulty they see is that a
higher rate of interest must be paid
in New York than would be necessary
here and therefore steps must be
taken to prevent British investors
from taking up the new securities.
