(Portland Oregonian.) Here's a yarn for fishermen and moralists. From a shale cliff in Rocky River, Ohio, a geologist has just dug a fossil that is a greater catch, and a more fearsome one, than any living fish likely to be caught this season. It is the biggest and be specimen ever found of the “dirichthys” or “terrible fish,” with an armored head five feet long, a mouth big enough to engulf a shark, fighting tusks that would go through his prey like nails through paper, and a great breastplate, nine feet long, protecting his throat and underbody. The tuil, also armored, is miss- ing; some other dirichthys may have bitten it off. How long ago did this fish live and spread terror? Long befcre the Great Lakes were form- ed Long before the soil of Ohio was laid down. Since his day the Appalachian range of mountains have been raised, from such a sea as the diri- chithys inhabited, to a height of five miles, and worn down in four miles of the five by frost and rain and wind How long has | miliion nndl,\hlwum of Na 1 | the specimen you miles of were sixteen 34-sto presented those fortunes Innun occupied, as constructed, that* taken?

All he had was intelligence. And that’s the way it always is in the long run - in a contest between defensive armor and sressive intelligence, though to this day mili- tarists can’t see it.
