FISHES t H A t ARE RACERS.'
The Tarpon, Slmrlc and .llaclcerel Are
tlie Speed Cliampions.
Study of the speed of fishes is embaiTjissed by unfavorable difficulties.
It is not pos.sihle, as with birds, to set
up tall poles at intervals of a quarter
of a mile "and, with the help of stop
w^atehes, time them as they go by.
Nevertheles-s investigation of the sub­
ject goes to show that the mackerel, if
not the e h a n ip ion racer of the briny
deep, comes pretty near to carrying off
the honors. I'^nquestionablj' it travels
sometimes as fast as an express train
at high speed—say, at the rate of sixty
or possibly seventy miles an hour.
Other things being equal, the larger
the fish the faster it swims, just as the
huge steamship is able to travel at a
speed much greater than the little har­
bor tug. Uudoubtedls' the energy em­
ployed by a fi.sh of great size, such as
a thirty foot shark when traveling at
its best gait, is something ti-cmendous.
An ordinary tug, which represents a
maximiun of enei'gj' in a minimum of
bulk, utilizes about 200 horsepower.
Of course It is only a guess, but it
would not seem to be over the mark
to .suppose that a seventj' fo<jt whale
make.'-, use of 500 horsepower when it
propels its huge hulk through the wa­
ter at a rate of thirty miles an hour.
'A whale, which i.s a mammal and not
a fish, might be compared to a freight
ti’ain if the shark is a cannon ball ex­
press, but it can beat the fastest ocean
greyhound in a speed contest.
If there is a fish that can travel fast­
er than a shark it must be tbe tarpon,
which can probably “hit her up” to the
tune of eighty miles an hour, if pressed
for time. Generally sijeaking, it may
be said that finny creatures which live
near the surface of the sea are swift
swimmers, as compared with those
that dwell in the depths. Thus the
cod, which is a deep water species, is
sluggish and would stand no show
at all in a race with the mackerel or
herring. These latter, which are dis­
tinctively pelagic, depend for their liv­
ing upon their activity in pursuing
agile prey, and they must be quick in
their movements in order to escape
their own enemies.
If the mackerel were as big as a good
sized shark it -would probably be the
speed champion of the ocean. No fish
Is better shafled for rapid going. Some
years ago a yacht builder in New
York constructed a sloop with a hull
patterned exactly after the underbody
of a Spanish mackerel. She was called
the Undine, and, if tradition does not
lie, she never was beaten. Like the
fish after which she was modeled, she
had her greatest breadth of beam for­
ward of amidships—a decidedly novel
Idea in boat building. One may say.
Indeed, that ail modern water craft
are more or less fishlike in their make­
up; yet, on the whole, it is surprising
that marine architects have not striven
more earnestly than they have done
to obtain hints from nature’s own il­
lustrations of aquatic speed making
principles.—Saturday E vening Post.
Wl,y He »l.ilikea the Man.
I once heard of a man -who, discuss­
ing a n a m e on tlie visiting list, said to
liis wife, “You know perfectly well
that I don’t like that man.” “Don’t
you think you are a little unreason­
able?” a.sked the wife. “Your dislike
arose because he did not answer a
letter you -nwote him, and you found
afterward that the letter was hung up
all summer in the pocket of your over­
coat and was never sent to him at all.”
“Yes, I know that,” was the rejoinder,
“but it was so long before I found it
out that I couldn’t overlook his rude­
ness, and I never forgave him, and I
don’t believe I ever shall.” There is
a good deal of ill feeling in this world
that Is without any firmer foundation.
—Printers’ Ink.
A little English girl wrote the fol­
lowing essay on a cat: “The cat is a
square quadruped, and, as is custom­
ary -with square quadrupeds, has its
legs at the four corners. If you want
to please this animal you must stroke
it on the back. If it is very much
pleased it sets up its tail quite stiff,
like a ruler, so that your hand cannot
»et any farther. The cat is said to
have nine lives, but in this country it
seldom needs them all because of
Christianity.”
Misforttmes Sometimes a Blesslns.
However others may think of it, yet
I take it as a mercy that now and then
Some clouds come between me and my
sun, and- many times some troubles do
conceal my comforts, for I perceive if
I should find too much friendship in
any inn in my pilgrimage I should
soon forget my fa th e r’s house and my
heritage.—Dr. Lucas.

OLD INDIAN PIPES.
Eacfe F eath er In a Stem Represented
a u E n e m y S la in .
It need scarcely be told that in the
pipes of long ago each feather append­
ed to the stem repre.senitod an enemy
slain. If one doubted the record of
the war eagle feathers, the warrior
then showed the scalps of the enemy,
which were kept as a sort of a sacred
proof Of his tvortl. Such pipes were
used only on occasions of peace and
war. Speaking roughly, the best pipes
of eastern tribes were in molded clay,
the best of the western tribes in slate
pipe stone taken from the famous quar­
ry w’est of the Miesissippl. Before the
great buffalo and antelope hunts, when
herds of game Avere driven info a pound
or au inclosed area of snares, It was
customai'y for the Indians to whiff the
incense of propitiation to the spirits of
the animals about to be slain, explain­
ing that only the desire for food com­
pelled the Indian to kill and that the
hunt was the Avill of the Master of Life,
or “Master of the Boaring Winds,” who
would compensate the animals in the
next Avox-ld. The pipes used for this
ceremony usually show the figure of a
man in conference -wfith the figure of
an animal. Others show the figures of
Indians with locked hands. This typi­
fies a vow of friendship to be termi­
nated only by death. It was usually
betw’eeu men, but sometimes between
a man and a AA-oman, In which case the
platonic bond not only precluded, but
for’oade, the A'ery possibility of mar­
riage. After that who shall say that
the stolid Indian has no A'ein of senti­
ment In^his nature?
One of the most curious pipes I have
seen I bought from a Cree on a reser­
vation east of the refugee Sioux. It is
In the shape of a Avar hatchet, of a
metal AV'hlch I do not know, though I
suspect it is galena mixed with clay,
the edge being sharp enough, but the
back of the ax being a bowl and the
handle a pipe stem. The odd lines in
Indian c.arvings and woven work are
not Avithout meaning. Fighting Mistah
■could read a legend where Ave saw
nothing hut bizai-re markings. There
were the circular linos, holloAv down,
meaning clouds; the cross, meaning the
coming of the priest; the tree, a type
of peace with its branches overshad­
owing the nations; the AA’avy line, sig­
nifying water; the arroAV, wmr. The
ordinary Indian can read a tribal song
or chronicle from obscure drawings on
the face of a rock or crazy colored
work on a scraped buffalo skin.—Out-

he gave his arm a sudden shove, and,

“I knew you were going to spill
that!” said mamma angrily.
“Well, if you knew,” queried Walter,
“why didn’t you tell me?”
