BLACKBIRD

Horses are Selling Low at Farm Sales
But Cows Bring Fancy Prices
Blackbird, Nov. 23.-Horses are
selling very cheap at the public sales
in this section, largely due to their
poor condition, and the winter. At
the sale of w. A. Watson, Jr., at
Blackbird, on Saturday good work
horses could be bought at prices rang
ing from $40 up. Cows, however
are selling better due. to the demand
for milk. Fresh cows are selling from
$125 to SITS a head. Young heifers
and steers are selling cheap, largely
due to local farmers not wanting tt
feed them during the winter.

JONAH MERELY A MOUTHFUL
Monster Fish Recently Caught at Mi.
ami, Fla. Could Have Accommo-
dated Twenty Prophets.

Was Jonah swallowed by a whale!
According to the biblical story IT was
a fish of this nature that entertained
the prophet in its iaterior for three
days and nights, but the limited size OF
the whales throat precludes the posi-
bilfty of IFS swallowing man.
However, there was caught at MI
ami, Fla. recently. fish that could
nave lunched on 90 JOnahs withou'
suffering the slightest pang of indiges-
ton, and among the many persons who
have seen the fish are clergymen VINO
have formulated the theory that 1t was
really a fish of this species that swai-
lowed Jonah
Here is the way this deniZen OF the
deep shapes up in the way of dlmeh-
SIGNAL figures: The net weight OF the
fish. when caught. not including 1ts
last meal, was 10000 pounds. It's liver
alone touched the beam at 1.7OO
pounds which is about the weight OF
a hefty bullock. From end to end 1t
measures A. feet, which is equal to the
combined length of eight normal men,
AT the thickest part the circumfer-
ence is % feet inches.
One of the most impressive features
of the fish is its month. which is 5O
inches wide and 43 inches deep. IN
side of the mouth is tongue 40 inches
and it has multitude Of teeth much
smaller than baby's. Nobody has
ever attempted to count these molars
The tail resembles the caudal append
age of an airplane and measures III
feet from tip to tip.
But big as the fish is. It died in In
fancy. Scientists who have measured
its cartiaginous formations say they
are far from developed and that had
this monster attained full growth II
would have been two and half times
as large as 1t is now.
According to the scientists of the
Smithsonian institution the animal is
whae-shark, and Is the first speci-
men of it's kind that has been captured.
They state further that it is an inhabi-
tant of water of 1900 feet depth It's
hide of sufficient thickness to with
stand the most enormous water pres
sure, and its eyes, which have no lids
and consequently were never closed,
Indicating that it dwelt as a depth
where eyes are of no avail.
The Smithsonian scientists believe
that it was thrown up by some subter-
ranean volcanic disturbance, which in
turSl IFS diving APPARATUS SO Mat 1t
was unable to return to its patural
levels and that thus disabled 1t strayed
beyond confines fixed for the mon
sters of the deep.
Capt. Charles H. Thompson of MI
ami, caught the fish while cruising for
tarpon off Knights key, Florida
