Natures Children

OF the eyeballs And this fish does
not possess a dorsal fin, either.
We find that all telescope goldfish
have one point in common. During
the first few weeks of life their eyes
appear to be absolutely normal. You
never know, experts will assure you,
whether the young goldfish will de-
velop telescope eyes or not. When
they are about two months old, and
until they reach the age of two
years. it is not possible to find out
this vital fact. Usually the strange
appearing eyes will develop when
the fish is from three to five months
old. If the fish reach the age of 10
months, still having normal eyes,
they are known as japanese fringe
tails. And many of these have been
used to breed to telescopes. produc-
Ing telescope young. While this is
successful for the first generation, if
persisted in the pure breed is spoiled
and the eyes are much smaller.
Even today, the telescope fish do
not have eyes that are so large as
when they were first bred, which
was during the present century. It
is believed that this is due to the
fact that these fish have been bred
too exclusively for their long fins
and short body.
We read about the "scaleless"
telescope goldfish, then see the fish
and are puzzled. There are scales,
but they are transparent. Fish of
this type are separated into two
color groups or classes-the calico
and the plain scaleless. The plain,
so-called Scaleless may be white,
red, or combination of the two
colors. The calico telescope fish is
the most valuable. It's colors are red.
yellow, brown, gray, black, blue and
lavender, arranged in strange and
fantastic dots and spots over the
body and fins. Since the plain red,
more an oxblood color, is more read
lily obtained, the calico fish with
telescope eyes is the one the fancier
hopes to see among the younger
generation as they begin to de.
velop the priced characteristics.

On account OF the steady progress and

to take on a few additional men from time
to time; the requirements for these open
inss are quite reasonable, so that the
average man of good habits and clean
cut appearance will stand a fair chance
OF being selected.
This company has been uniquely sue
cesSful. In line with our steady gains in
business. the earnings of our men are
higher. not only are more men earning
$4,000 and $500 week, but in, recent
months We have issued many weekly COM
missions running between $4,000 and
SIS 90, throughout the entire country
These earnings, of course. are generally
made by more experienced men but there
are exceptions where new men have quick
ly advanced themselves TO the higher in

Similar openings are available locally TO
few more men who are qualified to learn

The Magic Knife AnnearS.

Inc Magic hHiIe appears.
Then Eric turned his horse back
toward the place where he had left
Santa Claus. He smiled as he rode
along, because all the silent people
were gone from the sides of the
roads. They were busy again in
their gardens and fields.
Santa sat where Eric had left him.
He had a hammer and some nails
and he was putting together the
finest doll house.
He looked up with a chuckle as
Eric returned 1T looks" he said,
"as though you have taken one giant
prisoner. I see some of the people
have returned to their homes"
Eric felt pleased. He sat down
next to Santa
Look" said Santa, this doll
house is very special He pressed
his finger on the step just outside
the front door, and the door few
open. Santa chuckled.
But Eric was worried about the
next giant. The one who wanted to
build wall as high as the sky.
How shall I take this next giant
prisoner?" he asked Santa.
Turns to the Locket.
That is for young wits" said
Santa. But, you see, he really
couldn't help Eric, because Eric had
to prove by himself that he was
worthy Of being king. At last Eric
decided to ask help of his magic
locket for the second time He
snapped 1t open and whispered to
it, Now, little friend. how shall
[ take prisoner the giant who wishes
| to build wall as high as the skye"
There in the locket lay a tiny
knife. So tiny that it looked no
bigger than a pencil point From
the locket came voice which said,
This is magic knife. Take it
out and it will be just the right
size for you. Go to the giant who
wishes to build wall as high as
the sky and promise him that you
can carve anything in the world he
wants"
Eric took the tiny knife and in
a twinkling it was the size of a
hunting knife
Hmm" said Santa. that looks
very interesting. I wish I had a
knife like that. I believe I'll go
along and watch He blew his
silver whistle and suddenly there
stood on the right hand the Fairy
Queen. She smiled.
Santa chuckled at her. YES.
I'm going adventuring. I need a
dark suit so the giant won't rec
ognize me. And we both would
like some cakes to chew on the
way"
The tiny Fairy Queen waved her
wand and Santa's red suit was
gone. He had on brown breeches
and a short brown fur jerkin.
Nov look in your pockets" said
the Fairy Queen. Eric and Santa
stuck their hands in their pockets
and grinned. They pulled out the
finest chocolate cookies. In flash
of light the Fairy Queen was gone.
Eric and Santa mounted the
winged horse with Santa riding in
back and holding onto Eric's coat

air to hill where the giant sat

So we decide to investigate. Tele-
scope eyes among goldfish vary great

size, but the majority of them are
either conical or spherical. Tubular
eyes are very rare The fish having
them are highly priced. So long as
the eyes are large, standing promi-
nently out from the head, the fish
are more valuable than those with
normal shaped and sized eyes. ac-
cording to the fancier's notion Most
of the telescope eyes point in the

though some point forward-this is
unusual. The most peculiar eye for
