Wad of Chewing Gum
Discovered in Eel

Royalton, Pa.-John Penning-
ton, who has an eel camp along
the Junlata river, has discOv-
cred the original chewing-gum
eel. While cleaning cells he
found a substance adhering to
the inside walls of a large eerS
stomach. Investigation proved
this to be a well-masticated wad
of chewing gum.
The cud probably had been in
the mouth of fair damsel who
canoed on the moonlit waters Of
the river, listening to a lovers
croonings, and in fit of rare
ecstasy dropped the gum from
her lips, it being gobbled up by
the eel who happened that way.
The wad of gum plainly
showed the marks of human
teeth.

Deer In Fish Trap.

Boston, Mass.-Mr. e. N. Paine tells
Of a remarkable catch made in his fish
weir. It was a young deer. He was
found swimming around in the trap.
He was pursued and finally captured
and taken ashore to fish house,
where he created great din in his
efforts to escape. 1t was finally decided
to let him go, but he had to be cap
tured again and his legs tied, which
was quite task. Then he was taken
to the woods and allowed to escape.

Monaco Has War Charity Stamps.
Monaco has just put forth a some
what belated set Of war charity
stamps intended, so the inscription in
caises de 10 guerre. A view of the bay
and rock of Monte Carlo from the sea
constitutes the main feature of the de-
sign, inset with picture of widow
and child, and each stamp is sold at
a premium upon its postal value, which
goes to the French national fund. AS
usual, the printing of the stamps has
been carried out by the French gov
eminent printing establishment in Par
is, the designer and engraver being
Messrs. Eurand & Jarraud.
Italy has issued new fifteen cen

fore, but in the type of five centesimi
and ten centesimi In place of the MI
chetti design previously employed for
this value.
Presumably the instruction issued
last month respecting the discontinue
