The "Portugusss Man of-war" to a Veritable Fairy Ship. Tbe "Portuguese tmin-of war“ 1» held to be one of the mint lieautlful of all the ao culled pelagic animals xud to a veritable fairy ship, with sail that can lie elevated or lowered, that can throw out a dredge or haul It lu—In short, one of tbe most attractive of all urn rine animals and at tbe same time one of tbe most dangerous. This little animal has been called a "poem In satin.” yet it conceals under Its attractive exterior on armament that to capable of overpowering a foe of a thousand times its size in fact, tbe pbysulla stands In the same rela yion to many other marine animals of Its size as a well fitted torpedo subma rine boat would to an old line of bat tle ship of the Constitution class. If one but touch the purple tentacles a realizing sense of this power is at once experienced. The finger stings as If needles had been thrust into it, and when tbe tentacles are placed upon a spot where the flesh Is sensitive the pain can only be compared to that produced by melted lend or boiling oil. One scientist nearly lost his life In nn engagement with the little craft. The man had a habit of swimming on Ids side, an unfortunate habit In this case. Inasmuch as his view to the right was obstructed when one day he swum over the tentacles of a large "man-of- war.” He was In about seven feet of water, and the contact immediately gave the swimmer such a Hhock that be almost lost tbe power of motion und sank. As lie struck bottom with bls feet he pushed up and partially recovered him self—sufficiently nt least to call for help. Some laborers at work near by sprang Into the water and carried him ashore By that time he could breathe only with extreme difficulty, this being the most serious symptom. The pur ple mass wus scraped from the skin with knives and razors, but It seemed to have sunk into the flesh. For six or seven months afterward he could very readily have passed for a tattooed man. the entire middle and lower por tion of his body being covered with tbe most fanciful tracings.—Harper’s.

That is why the tourist mnk ' Ing Ills way up the mountain slo|ie with the sun on his back finds Ills own dust traveling upward with him In a choking cloud. But on coming down the snme trail. When the face of the slope is In the shadow, the dust ever descends with the traveler In the same Irritating i cloud. When the face of the mountain Is In the shade the air Is cooling from the face of the slope and Is pressing Its way down Into the valley. WINGED PEACE.
