Sailors hnvc a Miylng that wlioro the fllmrk Is the pilot flsli will he found. The accompanying Illustra tion allows u pilot fish, or shark-sucker, ns It li often culled, attached to the side of u snuh-nosed shark, Tho sucker fish Is so small thnt It appears to he un udilltlonnl flu on the sldu of tho deep-sea monster. It attaches Itself to the mirfnco of other llsh by means of a Micklng disk. The pilot llsh, however, dcm? no "piloting," though It rertnlnly dors suggest to the nautical mind a brink little pilot hont bringing a big ship to port. Ap parently It merely desires to have a comfortable resting place or at most to get u fiee ride, like the small boy "hanging behind." The pilot fish, explains a writer In the Illustrated V'orld, seems especial ly fond of attaching Itself to sharks and tut ties, but when these are not at hand It hnugs to any convenient object. This characteristic lms led to the curious custom among some primitive tribes of employing a sucker fish us a live fish-hook not halt for catching I U l-'l ' ' vim. ' NOT EASY TO CRIPPLE CRAB Nature Has Provided That Lost Leg or Claw May Be Replaced In a Short Time. 'Tor you yourself, air, should bo ns old as I urn, If like n crob jon rould go bnckwnrd." True, llnmlet, true, but a crab can also walk for ward and sideways. At the bottom of warm salt water, where he likes to take his leisure, the crab walks slowly about on the tips of the sec ond, third and fourth pair of legs, and then as you may see, he walks back ward, fonvnrd and sldewnys, though he seems to prefer the sldewlse gait. Generally ho folds his heavy claws, or pincers, and works his paddles with a Inzy sculling motion to ussist him on his walk. One of the many remurknble things about the crab Is his ability to throw off or drop his legs and claws and grow them again. Tho scientists call this "autototny," or "tho uUtomatlc throwing off of appendages of the body and then renewing them." If n crab Is seized by a leg or claw In the water, It often throws It olT and escapes, and at the place where ho breaks off his own leg nature has fur nished nn arrangement which pre vents excessive bleeding. This phe nomenon Is common among crustu ceaiif, of which the crab Is one. As nu example of "autotomy" tho United States bureau of fisheries has the record of n crab which was kept tinder 'observation In a small cago beneath salt water. When put In the cage the crab hud lost Its left claw. Day by day a new chiw grew and the rate of growth can be had from the fisheries bureau. At the end of 01 days the left clnw had been restored and was the some slsie ns the right. The Scrap Book LEGAL NOTICES First Pub. Nov. 17, 1021 Iw.

The fish is then thrown over and at once durts away to the nearest refuge, which is apt to be a large tur tle that has been sighted by the fish intuitu. When the turtle Is reached the sucker llsh attaches Its disk against the side of the animal, which Is then drawn In by means of the line. As soon as the turtle or shark Is drawn above the waterllne, the sucker tlsh drops back Into the water und seeks another host. Philadelphia Ledger. ' Austria Scraps Its Tracks.

GOOD AND BAD WEDDING DAYS Many and'Varled Are the Superstitions That Have to Do With the Marriage lAltar. The superstitions that cluster round the altar are as ninny nnd as mys terious as the ways of a maid with a man. Muy has always had a had name as a wedding month since far-away Roman days, and Lent has been in equal bad odor. But why should ,Tune be considered the luckiest month of all the your for a tilp to the altar, with October a good bccnud? And why should special happiness await those who wed when the moon is at the full, or when the sun and moon arc in con Junction? Friday Is the most unlucky day of nil the week to set the wedding-bells n-rluglng, except, curiously enough, In Scotlnnd, where It seems to- ho held In special favor. On the other- hand, for some obscure reason, Sunday has been a day of good omen for wedding couples, ever since (and no doubt long befoie) Shakespeare made Petruchlo say to Katheilne, "Kiss me, Kate; we will be married o' Sunday." Statesman Just a Little Bit Too Offi cious In Wrapping Up That Mar rlage Present. A local celebrity whose meanness was a by-word felt obliged to make n present to one of Ids lady friends on the occasion of her mnrrlage. lie entered n crock ery shop for the purpo of making a purchase. See ing a valuable statuette broken Into a dozen pieces on the. counter, lie asked the Thf salesman said It was worthless, but he could have It for the cost of packing It In a box. The mean one directed It to be sent with his enrd to tho lady, congratu lating himself Unit she would imuglne It was b'roken while on Its way to her. Ife was at her house when the box arrhod, but the effect was hardly what he had expected. The tradesman had carefully wrapped each piece In a separate sheet of paper! London Tit MW l. lug price. WOULD SOLVE BIG PROBLEM Successful Idea for the Employment of a Vacuum Is the Dream of All Balloonlsts. In the opinion ot n French expert In neronnutlcs, th'e future of dirigible balloons lies In successfully solving the employment of vncuum ns a float ing power. "Lighter than air" practical experimenting has been for years along the line of using gases lighter than the atmosphere. If, however, (as has been long known, of course) n light envelope. Incasing a partial vacuum could be arrived at, strong enough so that the terrific outside pressure of the atmosphere were re sisted, the balloon would then possess an excess of buoyancy, and the pres ent cost of lnllatlvc material would he largely eliminated. At the present moment two Itnllan englneeis are conducting negotiations and experi ments with the French government on the br.sls of new Inventions on the vacuum theory. The perfection of dellatlon, as ove against Inflation, would Indeed revolutionize Hying: the world awaits with Interest the result of the experiments in France. . Insured His Wedding Day. An Insurance policy for $500 against unfavorable weather on his wedding day was Issued to a Boston man by a Hartford (Conn.) Insurance company recently. Tho bildegroom had declared he wished to avoid extra exKuse should rain alter the carrying out of arrange incuts. Tho company found the risk a good one, as the sun shone on the bridal couple and tho stars twinkled as they left on their honeymoon. Gratitude In Strange Garb. Bishop W. It. Lnmhuth In his Inter esting book, "Medlenl Missions," tells of a nntlve of India whose wife went for treatment to a mission hospltnl. On her return he wrote as follows to the woman physician In charge of the hospital: "Dear She: My wife has returned from your hospital cured. Provided males are allowed In your bungalow, I would like to do you the honor of presenting myself theie this nfternoon. But I will not try to repay you; vengeance belongoth to, God." Another, whoso wife did not sur vive, expressed himself thus: "Dear and Fair Madam: I have much pleasure to Infnini yon that my dearly unfortunate wife will he no Ioniser under your kind treatment, she having left this vvoild for the other on the night of the l!7th ultimo. For your own help In this matter I shall ever remain grateful. Yours reverently." The Artillery Fern. There Is a curious and wonderful little plant, so rare that few peoplu hove ever seen It outside of botanists' collections, which is called the "artil lery fein." This flower behaves In n very strange fashion when It Is dipped In water. The branch of fern, cov ered with Its small red seed when held up to the light after being illpjieil In water, resists the action of the wu ter upon It In a funny way. First one tiny bud will explode suddenly with a sharp crack, scattering Its jellow dust Into the air. Then another hud will burst in the same way, until the entire branch will be coveted with ex ploding buds, like miniature cannon. A sharp "crack" ! followed by a wee puff of smoke! This always occurs after the plant Is watered. Hawaiian Itlande. A Spnnlsh navigator first discovered the Ilnwnlian Islands In I.'.m but his country laid no clnlm to them and they were practically forgotten.
