Ribbon EishIs Oddities

1.-THE ribbon fishes" said John T
Nichols. head of the department of re
cent fishes Mt the Museum of Natural
History. according to the New York
Times, ARE perhaps the least known
of the larger marine species. They
nre elOngate, flattened from side to
side with manellke fin on the back
Specimens are Is to 20 feet long, be,
ing from 10 to ~ inches deep, and
about an inch or two broad at their
thiCkest part. They have big eyes
and small mouths"
Very few specimens ever come to
light and these are usually washed up
on some shore or are found floating
al the surface in a dead or dying con.
dition. The larger ones are known TO
grow to he 20 feet or so in length and
very likely attain n considerably
greater size. but this is a matter of
pure conjecture. Young individuals
of some of the species but few
inches long are not rarely met with
near the surface.

FRENCH "BLUEBEARD"
NOT GUILTY, HE SAYS
(By The Associated Press.)

Versailles. Nov. IL (by the Asso-
ciated Press. )--Henri Landru, al
legged "bluebeard," on trial on
charges of having committed eleven
murders, ten of them women, to-
day entered stout denial of his
guilt. \
There is no blood on my hands;
they perhaps are not absolutely
clean, but they never shed a drop
of human blood" he said.
The trial judge today began di-
rect examination of the prisoner
concerning the disappearance of
] + . Guillin, born in Brazil, in
1869, Landru's alleged third victim.
The prisoner insisted on referring
to her as lone of the hundreds of
missing women who disappear
yearly in Paris"
The so-called bluebeard, whose
beard incidentally is partly red, APP
peared quite at ease during the ex-
