The puffer fish affords a novel exam

more than two feet.
The peculiar characteristic common
TO all OF them is their ability to initiate
themselves with air or water until thew
become almost spherical In shape. The
air or water that fills the abdomen or
the esophageal sac is retained by a
valve In the throat and can be dis.
charged almost instantly.

A Remarkable Shawl.

The empress of Russia was once pre-.
sented with a shawl of remarkable
kind. 1t is contained in a box only a
few inches square, in which 1t fits cas-
lily, yet when 1t is shaken out it is ten
yards square. This notable gift was
the work of some women weavers in
orenberg, southern Russia, by whom ii
was presented. The box containing 1t
is of wood, with hinges, hoops and
fastenings of beaten silver.

FAMOUS BRIDGES.
The Highest, Largest and Most Ornate
Structures of Their Kind.


Structures of Their Kind.
The biggest bridge in the world is the
Forth bridge. The British navy can
pass under it, and its biggest dread
naught looks like pygmy In compari.
son.
The highest bridge in the world is
the wonderful single span which
crosses the gorge discovered by Liv-
ingstone, into which the mighty Fam.
bezi leaps in fall only matched nv
Niagara. This light, airy looking struc.
ture Is 400 feet above the river bed. so
that the dome Of St Paurs could com.
fortably stand beneath it.
The longest single span In the world
Is the span of Brooklyn bridge. 1t is
suspension bridge. and its supporting
towers are 1.6O0 feet apart. Imagine
the strength of the cables capable of
supporting such terrific dead weight.
to which add the surging traffic of two
vast cities
Inc two longest bridges In the world
are the Tay bridge in Scotland and the
great bridge which carries the railway
across the st. Lawrence at Montreal.
The most ornate bridge in the world
Is the Tower bridge across the Thames.
In fact 1t is perhaps the most beautiful
bridge in existence. 1t is unique, too.
IN that 1t is both a girder bridge and a
suspension bridge and is also like the
ancient drawbridges of romance.
Its cost was f1,5O0,0O0, which is Just
about half the amount the Forth bridge
cost.-London Chronicle.

will not be committed by the people,"
 "The next generation will be an cd ucated people," said Judge Sorrells, later on. Gentlemen, the schools of the county would surprise you, if you were to visit them. All over Jeffer- son county today, the boys and girls are able to get even a high school education, free. They're getting a better education than many of us re- ceiVed when we started out in life. They will be educated they will un- darstand things better and more clearly. and as result they will be more law-abiding, they will be bet ter citizens. Upon the growing gen. eration, I base strong hopes. fo. the future of the county, the state and the country
 At the conclusion of the charge, the grand jury retired to it's room, where it adjourned, to meet again March 21
 When court adjourned at the noon hour. Judge Sorrells was warmly congratulated by members of the bar and many other friends, on his ex- cellent and strong charge.

THE BAWDY HOUSE PROBLEM PASSED
 TO GRAND JURY
tContinued from Page. l.)

man. when 1 was in the city council ! stuoled the problem, long and yare- lully l reached no decision. I do not know whether segregatiou is wise. or whether the bawdy house should be abolished entirely. To run them out, would be comparatiyely easy. But I pass the matter up to you. l do know that it is a viola tion of the law to maintain or oner- ate bawdy house."
 Judge Sorrells asked the members of the grand jury to excuse him for charging them at such length, but this was his first opportunity to charge a grand jury, and he wanted to be sure he was doing his full duty, as that is his sole ambition. He stated that he had been careful to select jury commissioners who would select good veniremen, and he felt sure good juries will be the result.
 T want to say this, however, and that without intending it in boast ing way" he said. "If I get jury that appears not disposed to enforce the law, will discharge that jury, and get one that will enforce the law. know that this is good jury, and that it will do justice to all who have business before it. intend to have petty juries of the same char acter"
 Judge Sorrells remarked that there has been great improvement all over the district, in the matter of disturb ances of religious worship, but that such disturbances still continue.
 fn11 -@D oI, full of booze" he said, "and feel they must disturb something or somebody, hence they disturb religious worship This gentlemen, must stop. Condi- tions are better than they have been, but they are not yet satisfactory"
 Concerning the prohibition laws, Judge Sorrells said that undoubtedly the statewide law was the most inn portant passed in Arkansas in many years. There will be sporadic cases of bootlegging, in all likelihood. he said, but the strict enforcement of the law will prevent any general vio- lation of the statute
 Too Much Law
 "We have too much law" said | Judge Sorrells. "I believe that a strict enforcement of the laws will mean the death of laws that are un- popular in the state. Wise men have stated that the best way to kill an law is to enforce it vigor- ously. want to see all the laws en- forced. Then it may be many of the ! minor laws will be wiped off the books, because the conscience of the people will be. awakened and the things prohibited by these statutes

OPERATORS
 MEET HERE TOMORROW
Chief Operators of Exchanges in South and Southeast Arkansas Will
 Talk "ShOp" and Other Things,

Chief operators of all telephone ex- changes in south and southeast Ar kansas will gather at the Hotel Pines tomorrow, to open an annual confer enec, and it is expected there will be from 50 to 75 men, women and girls, who hold such positions, in attend ance at the two-day sessions.
 Telephone officials of prominence in this section, and in several large cit ies adjacent hereto, are expected to be present, to make talks. and while the business of the conference will be of a semi-technical nature, it is ex- pected to be of unusual interest to the participants.
 An interesting program of entertain ment has been provided for the visit OTIS by the local officials of the South western company, the final event of which will be a banquet at the Ho- tel Pines Thursday evening.
 It is stated that not only will Southwestern exchange chief operat- ors be present at the meeting. but also chief operators of independent exchanges, and a number of officials of Southwestern and independent companies. The meeting was to have been held early last month, but post ponement was necessary because of the flood conditions in large section of the territory

MUSICAL REVUE
 IS ATTRACTION
 FOR TONIGHT
Local and Visiting Talent Prepare Program of Con-
 siderable Merit.

The big musical revue-Pine Bluff society's big show-will be given this evening, at the new picture show, at West Second avenue and Pine street, under direction of Miss Victoria Har- rell.
 The entertainment will undoubted- ly be the most suspicious affair or it's kind ever attempted in Pins Bluff, and competent critics who have watched the rehearsals are of the opinion that it will be "classy" the term in clear understanding of it's meaning when used concerning big "road show by professional people. Pine Bluffs large coterie of talented people has loaned freely of it's talent for the occasion, and in addition, there will be artists from Hot Springs and Argenta, for this affair only. The musical revue will be given for the benefit of the fund being raised to defray the expenses of the forth coming track and field meet, and on this account, if on no other. there should be a large audience. because the more money raised in this man. ner, the less there will have to be raised by personal subscription later. Outside of this however, and judged strictly as an entertainment, the show should be we'll patronized.
 The program in full is as follows:

Only one trial was held yesterday, that being the case of Essex Mason, heard on appeal from a justice of the peace court where the defendant was convicted of selling liquor.

All of these were appeals from jus tice of the peace courts which have been pending for many months Those dismissed were the cases of Henry Cogsbill, disturbing the peace; John Wesley, illegal cohabitation; Goldena Humphrey, illegal cohabitatiOn; Nora Hill, selling liquor; Charlie Edwards, assault and battery; Jack Scott, as- sault and battery; John Alexander, yagrancy.
