BIG SEA LIZARD EXTINCT Th?re Arc Stilt 8hark? to Bt Found, However, Forty Foot Long? Pan gerous Marino Creatures Not tho Largest. New York.?Imaginative s,>u C"P* tains ami their followers on return ing to local ports entertain their friends aud unsophisticated strangers with highly colored narratives of great sen aerpento and other unfamiliar monsters of the deep that they have encountered .bu their voyages. Thut monsters of the deep exist today as In olden times Is well knowu to acl ence, but they, are quite different from those described by the old salts. "The sea serpent," said Dr. John T. Nichols, head of the department of recent fishes at the American Mu seum of Natural History, "as that creature is pictured in the popular mind Is a purely mythical animal. Although there are doubtless' many 81range beasts In the sea, as yet un known to science, It Is highly Im probable that such a monster will be found." Big 8oa Lizards. The nearest approach perhaps to this monster that ever existed was some of the big sea Utnrds which used to navigate the globe In prehistoric times. The most authentic reports of sen serpents nowadays when trace able at all torn ont to be faulty ob? servntlons of some ordinary marine creatures. A school of porpoises stretched out in line and rolling their backs above tho surface In unlsoh, may readily enough appear like the colls of a great sea monster 'to an ob server with an active Imagination. Nevertheless, true sea snakes swim among the Islands of certain parts of the western PaclfVc which, though they do not reach a great else, are often very poisonous. They have flattened tails llk$ muskrats to enable them to swim the better.- ?.Lite ? There are plenty of monsters ln..the sen, though none equal ja, size tho largest of the whalebone whales. The largest of such creatures nr^ some thing like 90 feet In length. Ir there ore larger specimens they have been remarkably successful In eluding ac curate measurement. In ohler to find sufficient food such gigantic creature? must be content with u humble diet. Hence they hnve developed their whalebone?a substance In which no Imitation can compete In the manufac ture of high-grade whip handles and corsetvstnyH?for the purpose of strain ing an nhui$Q?uice of small fishes or other alnmnls 3hwi the sea water. Inhabiting the deep are tvyo gigan tic sharks, either on% of which may reach a length of 40 feel. The bask ing shark Is found In northern seas, occasionally straying southward to our coasts, and the whale shark seems to hare Its principal habitat in the In dian ocean, though stragglers have turned up as far away as the shores of Florida. Oue such, mounted, i? on exhibition at Mlamj.and will repay _a_ rlsit to any* one who cjianc^f-to be In that vicinity. Plenty of 8?a Monsters. There are plenty of monsters In the sea, the giant devil Ash, or raanta, which probably grows; to be over 20 feet between the tipcf Of Its great wings. The model of an individual of IS feet .or so Is on exhibition at the American museum. The manta has hornlike processes directed forward, one at either side of. its broad head, and there are well-authenticated in* stances of a devil flsh "flying" through the water, catching a boat's anchor between Its horns by chance, lifting the anchor and towing the astonished boatmen out to sea. At certain sea sons the devil flsh IA common along the Qulf coast of Florida, where it fur* nishes exciting sport for big-game fish ermen. The dangerous marine creatures are in general not the largest. The killer whale, which Is 20 feet or so In length, will attack and devour almost anything that swims In the sea. Some times they Join- In schools and hunt the big whalebone whales like a pack of hungry wolves. The man-eater shark, seldom more than 20 feet long, Is one of the fleiwst of sea creature*. He Is as rare as he Is dangerous. The big sperm whale seems to feed large* ly on large specimens of octupus, for whfch it dives In deep water. Some observer? nswert that they have seen spectacular contests between such a sperfn whale and an octopus which it had broagbt to the surface. The octopus also goe# by the name of devil flsh, though it fa an entirely different animal from the manta. Qms Into Navy.

GOT WEARY OF "FLU" TALK Visitor to Indianapolis Very Much Fed Up With Conversation Relating to the Epldemlo. L. II. Andrus of Grand Rapids, Mich., chief of the Merchants Heat and Light company, Is laboring un der the Impression that Some "Hoosler Jin*" wcs trailing him Weduesday cra ning. While taking dinner at a hotel he was surrounded by delegates to th?? ?casket manufacturers' convention. After hearing them diseuss their busi ness, which discussion naturally had many references to tho influenza epi demic, he concluded It was no place for him. - As the evening rolled on, he began debating with himself the question whether the epidemic was going to get him, so he decided to take a Turkish hath. He. had only been there a short time when a sick-looking individual came In, and in' a conversation with Mr. Andrus said that he had only re cently got over a severe case of tha Influenza, and he had been advised 'that a Turkish bath would get the pol | son out of his system and assist him to recover more rapidly. When he was talking with this man, another man came In sneezing and coughing and Inquired of Mr. Andrua whether he thought a Turkish hath would prevent a fellow from getting a bad case of the Influenza, By this time Andrus said to the at tendant: "(let me out of here as quickly at possible; I have given about as much time as Icaretopre-. elding at the flu conference In In dianapolis."?-Indianapolis News.

Plans had been mad* to have the book presented to President Wilson on Columbus day. Wonder What Poo Got foe It Quite a while ago an author, Edgar Allan Poe, contributed a story to Gra ham's Library of Fiction, No. 1. But It hardly occurred to him that some day a collector would- pick- up an ohl copy of tfcat periodical for 25 cents and presently sell it to somebody elso for $1,000. Probably It Is Just as well that it did not, for the knowledge might have discontented him with his own modest emolument for, writing a classic. $210 for a Thackeray Letter.
