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-

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,

thoir food unohewed, and unbroken It professor. "We will leave him here

mjhuks like so many nuts.
Tho tairp tenth are set back on the

to masticate its food in its throat The
carp, too, is about the only cud-chewing
fish, the coarsely swallowed iooa oeing

or all parts of the mouth.
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.

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

the bugs and toads and snakes and
birds, alive and dead, that appeared In
unexpected place. 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

"Well, Mike, X hope that In the

Irritation. "We left the turtle over

She was one of the most aggressive
women these broad United Htates ever
produced, sayB the New York Tribune.
She bounced on hoard a Pennsylvania
railroad south-bound train at Newark,
and took the car by storm. When she
had planted an unpromising infant in a
vacant seat, and arranged a wilderness
of bundleB with appropriate remarks,
which might -have been beard by the
engineer across the tender and four'
coaches, she seated herself by the child
and began a continuous and distracting
eminent about papa and grandma and
auntie, which made all the passengers
shiver and crane their necks to see
where thonversational blizzard oame
from. t
"Tbinir you'll know grandma, Char
lie?" she vivaciously inquired.
"Yep."
"And dear Aunt Fanny?"
"Guess so. Ma, will Aunt Fanny need
shaving as mucb as she did last sum
mer?" "Yon mustn't say that Charlie. Won't
you have a nice time playing with little
Willie torrigan, next door?"
"You bet I will! Ma, has Willie got
that dorg we used to fool with?"
"I expect he has, dear; and Willie is
such a manly little fellow I like to have
mamma's good little boy with him."
"Ma."
"Yes, darling."
"Gimme a cake one of thom big fly
cakes, ma."
And when that car reached the Broad
Street station there wasn'ta manamong
its- cargo of frantic humanity whose
fingers had not twitched from Newark
to Philadelphia with the longing to
hurl ma and Charlie through the near
est window, bag, bandies, fly-cakes
and all. "
