A CUROUS KIND OF FISH.
Lives in’ Waters of Java and Shoots
Its Intended Prey with Tiny
Drop of Water.
Certain fish shoot their prey
With great precision. The jacu
lator of Java is of this tribe. Sev- ;
oral of these fish, in the posses- j
sion of the Javanese chief, were
placed in a small pond, from the
center of which rose a pole up
ward of two feet in height, says
the Yonkers Statesman. Beetles
were put on the top of the pole on
sharp-pointed pieces of wood. The
fish then came out of their holes
and swam around the pond. One
of them came to the surface of the
water and rested there. After
fixing its eye steadily on a beetle
it discharged a small quantity of
water from its mouth with such
force and precision as to knock it
off the twig into the water. In an
instant the beetle had been swal
lowed.
After this another fish came up
and performed a similar feat, and
so the sport continued until they
had caught all of the beetles. I?
a fish failed to bring down its
prey the first shot it swam
around the pond until it came op
posite the quarry and tired again.
In one instance a fish returned
three times to the attack before
it secured its prey, but usually the
fish were very expert marksmen,
bringing down the beetle at the
first shot.
The fish frequents the banks of
t he rivers in search of food. When
it spies a fly on the plants that
grow in shallow water it swims to
the distance of five or six feet from
it and then with surprising dex
terity ejects from its tubular
mouth a single drop of water.
VISIT VOLCANO’S CRATER.
Afraid?—Of Course Not—Just Try
ing to Get Behind One Another
with Some Success.
We bad meant to descend into
the crater, writes William Ray
mond Rlanehard, in Nat ional Mag
azine, but upon reaching the top
concluded that we could see all
that was to he seen from there.
First one and then the other re
marked that t here was no need to
make that arduous descent or
that there was nothing more to be
seen down there, anyway. Of
course, we were not afraid. No, no,
just tired. One of the boys sat
down on tin* edge and proceeded
to shoot up the scenery with his
kodak while we two others made
a tour of exploration along the
summit. < ’oming to an opening in
the wall, with a sort of shelf run
ning along inside, we entered with
something of the air of a chicken
which, taking advantage of tem
porary quietness, pokes its head
into a forbidden kitchen. If the
presiding demon had made any ex
plosive remarks we should have
widened that breach in getting
away. Our native guide told us
that it was all right, but he mod
estly refrained from forcing him
self to the front, leaving the hon
or to the more aggressive Anglo
Saxon. The fact is we were all
trying to get behind one another
with more or less success.
Police Picture-Books.
Picture books for the benefit of
travelers are kept in the Paris po
lice stations. It frequently oc
curs that foreigners lose things
which they are unable to describe,
because of unfamiliarity with the
French language. The picture
books contain representations of
various articles, and the inquirer
has only to turn the leaves and
point out the illustrations which
most resemble the property he has
lost.
Smallest Coin.
The smallest coin in the world

big round as t lie top of a slate pen
