Not Quite Finished.

The most embarrassing moment of my life was when a new stenOgrapher came to work for my boss. About noon of her first day with us I wrote to the old stenOgrapher and I left the note in the typewriter when my boss called me in. Just then the new ste nOgrapher came back from lunch and she read the note.
 When came out of my bOss's office she said, "There is a note of yours in the typewriter Do you want to finish it?'
 The note read: Dear Peggie-I am writing to let you know of our new stenOgrapher. She is dead from the neck up and as slow as mOlasses. She has a face like a-.'-Chicago Trib- une.

Parrot Is Park Policeman.

Chicago.-"Yokel," a parrot, whose former owner conducted a saloon in the Maxwell street district, and was turned adrift when the saloon went out of business, has found a new job. Policeman Peter Schaeffer found the bird asleep in a tree near Wilmette The policeman decided to take the bird to the police station. On the way to the station the policeman was treat ed to sundry original observations, such as:
 Tt is l o'clock, boys. Close the sa- lOon."
 Its morning now. Gotta get up."
 Such shocking conduct"
 After a consultation at the police station, it was decided to turn the birds talent to good use. So "Yokel" was given a job as park censor at Will mette.
 ''He makes the best kind of a spar row cop," says Policeman Schaeffer. He gets out on a limb in the park and starts shouting:
 "'Ten o'clock! Stop your spoOning now and go on home ? and most of the couples go without stopping to see who is doing the talking"

Bio Armament peIeuatIons.

Washington.-Wa Washington officials began to get an idea of the magnitude of the armament and far eastern con- ferences in point of number of partici- pants The British government, re- spending to informal inquiries, advised the State Department that its delega- tiOn and accompanying staff, would number about 100 persons. The Chi nese government, several days ago, in- formed officials here that it's represen- tatives and their attendants probably would total almost 100. The Japan ese party, originally fixed at 80 per sons, it was learned today now has grown to at least 150 persons. It is un- derstood here that special steamship and two special railroad trains will be used for the transportation of this Japanese delegation, which, at this time, promises to be the most numer- Ous of any taking part in the confer ence.

QUEER METHOD OF DEFENSE
Fishes That Have the Power of ln- flating Their Bodies, Brighten
 ing Their Enemies.

The swell fishes of tropic coast
 waters have the power of suddenly inhating the body with water or air until they assume an approximately globular form several times the normal diameter, which must be discOncert- ing to any enemy about to seize one. The porcupine fish, in addition to doing this, has the body everywhere covered with long, sharp spines which project in every direction like the quills of a hedgehog. The trunk fishes, in- stead of being protected in this way, have the body encased in a bOny shell, like turtle. In the East Indies there are rectangular species, but ours are three-cOrnered, beechnut shaped. They go by various names-cuckOld, she'll fish, and so forth, the cowfiSh being a species with two hOrnlike spines projecting from its forehead. They are excellent eating. cooked in the shell like a lobster. The back muscles of the swell fishes are sometimes eaten, but make a risky delicacy, as there are well-authenticated instances of severe poisoning from eating these fishes. The poison seems to be local ized in the viscera and to permeate the rest of the fish after death.
