HOW TH"V TAKE FOOD. Th. Virions T::v In Which UlU Cw- S urea Kt. I ThatpoouliarBchinoiil, thoac-UKhin, has flvo teeth In five jaws one in woh jawall tho flvo immediately surround- iurr the stomach. Tlio Jaws have a po- culiar oontralUed motion, all turning inward and downward so that thoy also act as (cede. . . rtaalla h.je teeth jm hundreds of thom, says the San Fran- ciso Chronicle, but, as if these were not enouL. some haw them also in their , otomaoh. Tho cuttlefl&h, which, among other strango things, always walks with its hoad downward, does not dhow its food . at all. but masticates with its fflmrd. Bo do geese, fowls, ducks, and indeed all modern birds. Seising their food in their beaks thoy swallow it whole, if grain or seed, and in large pieoes it it be fruit or bread. In that condition It goes into the gixurd, a powerful muscle with : very tough, horny lining, which acta as a mill, being sufficiently powerful to pulverise uncooked com. To assist in the milling process all grain-eating birds swallow ' little pieoes of gravel, glaaa, crockery, metal, etc., the horny interior of the gktard being sufficiently tough to escape cutting by these mate rials. It is because of this fact that the ostrich has acquired his reputation of enjoying a ferruginous diet. Even when they had teeth birds only used them to take their food, uopena- m ae inuir rauu, uopenu-. ; then aVnow i Mr- - PP1 'he lr " Fishes and reptiles use their teeth for oreature lay limp and lifeless, iprawl tht same purpose, that of taking their lug out of Its shell, lood, but, like the birds, they gulp down "It la a painless death," said the thoir food unohewed, and unbroken It professor.

Tho great Greenland whale has no teeth, its baleen plates, or whalebone, taking their place. Along tho oenter of tho palate runs a strong ridge, and on each Bide of this there is a wide depres sion, along whioh the plates are inserted. While the Greenland whale has no ( teeth, the sperm whale has them In . great quantities on the lower jaw, and , uses them, too, when occasion requires. , On tho othnc hand, the narwhal very seldom develops more than one, the left upper canme. It makes up for the lack of number by the extraordinary growth attained by this one tooth. It grows .d ' down the molars actino- like chonninr ! knives, or rather, scissors. Their mouths, in fact, are a veritable hash mill. Strange and curious as some of these modes of feeding are, however, they none o! them compare in simplicity and effectiveness with that practiced by the tapeworm. This creature has neither mouth nor stomach, but just lays along and absorbs the already digested food through its skin. i nil ifntj Or" ELEC I HICITY. Almost S.OOO Central Station Plants in America. A very interesting publication ha just been put forth by one of the lead i t- electrical companies of this country. ;i is a large atks, showing state by i? the distribution of clectric-liphting r.tral stations and of electric railways, ; various plants being marked at each i f the towns and cities in which they -re installed. The grand totals shown ure one thousand nine hundred and eiThty-five central station plants and two hundred and forty electric railways, figures which, of course, would be much larger if brought down to later date. A vivid idea is given of the great variety still existing in electrical apparatus by the fact that in such states as ScwYork and Pennsylvania no fewer than sixteen different kinds are running in the sta tions to produce light and five different kinds for electric railway work. The tendency during the last five years, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch, has been toward a reduction in tic number of "systems," but ca rtmdamental pat ents expire and the industry is more generally thrown open it is not unlikely there will be as great a variety of dyna mos and lamps as there now is of steam endnesorof locomotives. These new rvfitcms, however, will be sold on a lrsis of ordinary manufacturing profit, r.'ileijs radical departures are made, for tiie time when either a charlatan or a nius could put a "system" together .-id get nine million dollars for it off l.rjid has gone by. Up to the present p'u.xl much of the apparatus has had j i-jwhere in its selling price the items cash or stock given out to the ta ilor and of costly experiments that j'jably led nowhithcr. In the older nches of clectricr.l industry much of - t:i t experimental work has been done forever, nnd the knowledge of the things i that need not bo attempted has be-1 come common property. t Mr. Edison himself has said that be had three thousand theories ab mt his incandescent lump, and it is tatting that he tried them ull. It is snid that when the first big electric railway woe t: itd at Eic'.imond, at least one hundred "imdcminniog" trolleys were put to t -t In a few brief tvecks, to say nothing I-, the new frr:-r ' styles of k'cd.es, new .lightning arresters, new I itches nnd other details, in work of I:. ut nature money oes.like water, but t is no help for it; end in due time li.ere is tlie reward, for had there been uo Richmond In 1888 there would ccr t J-iiy l.civ-' been no atlas bt UN with ) ) liu.idrad ftr4 forty electrio roads, ( . i hundred of whieh, with noiu'ly so i ,: jf hnmlKd turn tplldhNfi dntUur ijrS m evnml muitf it i (Wm LOSJNQ m VACUUM.

One day Frank Newman found an unusually handsome mud - turtle, nearly as large as oia nai, In which he carried it home. That evening after tea there was an excited meeting of young people on the lawn. Tennis was forgotten as the boys discussed ways and means of preserving this turtle's fine shell. Finally they deoided to and asked their teacher's advice. Mr. Dean was full of interest. He told them that he had once cleaned a shell of this sort very easily, after he had killed the turtle by putting him under a glass receiver and pumping out the air with an air pump. Next day, therefore, the toology class assembled after school in Mr. Dean's class-room to witness the ex periment Frank Newman put the j .H um iwww uuuo. . . ... , from &e puwtron and carapace.
