Contrary to General Belief, There Are Many Species That Can Exist Ctut of the Water. The belief exists that a fish cannot live without water, but tbere is a species of perch which walks overland for miles, and, what is more remarkaide actually climbs trees! Tbe Indian climblug-pereh (annabas) was first observed by Lieutenant Doldorf of the Danish East India com-

pany.

To pursue rare and delicious insects —which never settle upon the water— this tinny contradiction crawls over the land by means of its spiked tins, which are situated under its body, and upon reaching a tree it hoists itself up the trunk, using its spiked gill-eov-I ers much the same as boys use climbI Ing-irons. Another amphibian — nearer home ' this time—is the grotesque little fish ; known ns the sltanny or the blenny. Plentifully endowed by an all-wise ' providence with sharp fringes of spiked | tins, this little creature is nicknamed by fishermen all around tbe coast as the "umbrella" or “butterfly.” Usually found tinder stones or in the cracks of rocks at low tide, the shutiny Is apparently as much at home In tbe fresh tiir as It is In the water. The foreign brothers and sister of tills fist) emulate the example of Indian perch, invading rivers, waiting for low tide, then crawling up the roots and holes of trees, looking for InsArts and the larvae of Insects, anti crawling in tind out of the uncovered stones, pursuing small rivet-fry. Of the same family is a fish which bears the jaw-breaking name of PeriI othalmus. By the expert use of Its I side-tins and repeated blows with its | tail upon the ground, it hops, runs and I jumps over the strand left hare by the j receding tide, chasing the active green ( emits and small eels which infest the ! sands, devouring scores of these cron-

THE SECRET POCKET By WALTER J. DELANEY

(Copyright, VVealeiv Newspaper Union) “You delightful young man!” commented Mrs. Laura Delevan sincerely. "Rut look at your raincoat!" "It Is nothing, considering the service rendered,” bowed Rodney Cleve, aud he was the courtly gentleman complete as he lifted his hat and drew aside discreetly, as the lady reached the steps of her palatial home and rewarded his attentions with an admiring glance. Never since the days of good old Queen Hess of Merrle England, when Sir Walter Raleigh set the example .voting Cleve had now followed, hail u more delicate cmnpllpieut been paid to vomanklnd. Coming down the street, Cleve had seen the Delevan automobile halted with a jar directly in the middle of the road. “Something broken.” announced th« chauffeur, and Cleve stepped to the curb. Mrs. Delevan, fair and forty, had pushed open the door of the machine. “Can you not get nearer to the curb, John?" she Inquired petulantly. “Impossible, ma’am," came die definite reply. “The power is gone and it's something serious.” Rodney Cleve knew Mrs. Delevan by sight. For two months she hud been a bugaboo in his life without knowing it. He had met her niece, bright, pretty Ratty Delevan. who lived with her, at several social functions, had fallen deeply In love with her and had received some encouragement In return, but Ratty, while site had allowed him to see her home on two occasions, had parted with him at the vestibule door and had never invited him to call. Then a friend Imil enlightened Cleve. "Mr. Delevan is a high and mighty

In the tlrst place he had been routed out of bed at 7 o'clock and called to tin* telephone, where his broker informed him that Consolidated Central had closed the day before on a steep decline nnd that they would cull for margins by noon if the market opened "groggy.” “With my marriage with Laura rearson announced for only fifteen days from now, the prospect looks decidedly blue," ruminated Beardslee drearily. “Why did I ever get into this juggling stock game?” His eyes blinked and lie tried to haltie an annoying superstitious itillueuce as Ids glance swept a calendar hanging on the wail. "Friday and the thirteenth,” he muttered defiantly. "As I don't believe in signs or omens—the mischief!” Stepping on a truant collar button Benrdslee Joggled, his elbow came up against the mirrored front of his shaving cabinet and in dismay lie drew back from a shower of glass. "1 won't get rattled,” he insisted doughtily, hut he left the house half an hour later in a wretched state of nervousness. Ilis objective point was the oliice of a friend who might be inclined to assist him. A black cut was crossing the road. "I’ll beat the warning stuff,” declared Benrdslee. “Come on, kitty. Good for you—squarely in front of me. Now then. Fate, do yotir worst!” Three squares further on the mock heroic mood of our mentally disturbed hero entile to a climax. A derisive expression crossed liis face. He walked squarely under a ladder set ngani.-t a building front, a painter aloft. "ill, there!" Too late Benrdslee caught the warning.

The Interior of the place was filled with smoke and tlntnes and Its proprietor, whose operations had somehow igniied the cleaning material he hud been using, was making for tin* street. Beardslee sprang up, rushed thither himself and iu his halfdressed condition darted into the hallway of an adjoining office building. The street became crowded ns the fire alarm was sounded. Benrdslee gave up Ids < lotlles ns lost. He turned into an oliice where a yotibg mini sat poring over some writing, tie attired askance at the Itidltin-llke habit of the Intruder.

Then he sat down to wait. In the course of an hour the envoy from Ids landlady arrived.

Tbere are large groups of Islands In lln* Raeilic, till of which have greiil interest for Americans and which mav play far more important part in the future than in the past, says a writer In llo* Riicific Doris Magazine. Besides tin* Hawnilan islands, which lielong to us, the Lad rones are quiie important. nnd we only own the southernmost one. Guam. We should own all tiie l.adroues. as they occupy n strategic position. Our commercial importance in the Racifie depends on us knowing all these places, who owns them, tin* kind of people living in tltctn,

their history und so on.

Some of these many races and tribes in :lie Pacific are beginning to dwindle and already, within our lifetime, tiie aborigines of Tasmania have disappeared absolutely. The last Tasmanian died about tbe time of the Rhiladel-

phin exposition in 1X715.

The extinction of •races, the development of races, and the migrations, of people affect very profoundly political ami *»*cnnoralc relations in the world. And so iliese matters, some of which are being worked out now, need sound study on the par, of our government and our great research Institutions. At Honolulu there is tiie great Bishop museum of Polynesian Ethnology and Natural History, which is doing a most important work along these lines.
