FISH THAT SWALLOW STONES

Stones are commonly found in the

with certain amount of grit, are
scOOped up with the crustacea from the
bottom of the sea. The emperor pen
gum, on the other hand, shows an in

feeding which is. so to speak, forced

portion of Its food is scoOped up from

PRIZE FOR BRITISH MUSEUM
Institute Presented by Sir Rider Hao.
gard With Ring Taken From
Peruvian Mummy.

A ring with romantic history has
recently been presented to the British
museum by Sir Rider Haggard. He
first saw il 81 years ago. attached to
the watch chain of the headmnster of
his preparatory school, who had re-
ceived II from friend who had trav-
eled much in America. The friends
story was that while travelling In Peru
he had opened a gravemound in which
he found stone table with IL mummi-
fled figures seated round it. On the
finger of the principal figure was this
ring, which the discOverer withdrew /;
and the bodies, according to his story,
crumbled into dust.
II was the legend attached to this
ring which. according to Sir Rider
Haggard. first turned his imagination
toward the invention Of stories of ad-
venture and readers of "King Solo
mons Mines" will recognize in 1t the
origin Of striking episode in that
book. Fifty-fve years after he first
saw the ring II still remained wildly
in Sir Rider Haggard's memory. and
he described It's appearance in story
which Is now on the eve of publica-
ton. Shortly after he had done so. he
CHANGED to renew acquaintance with
his former SchOolmaster's family, and
made inquiries about uhe ring, of
which he eventually became the pos
SCISSOR and he has now given 1t to the
British museum.
