JELLYFISH THAT STING. Southern Portugal Specte Is More Aggressive Than Northern. | Prom the New York Times. Although the jellyfish has long been {® subject for mirth and jest, he is at times more aggresstve and formidable | than most persons imagine. There are various kinds of jellyfish in local wa- ters, and swimmers who have encoun- tered them know they are most dis- |agreeable companions. They, protect = Ithemsel\'e: with long tentacles which are not unlike long, thin astrips of paper, and by means of these tentacles S | they sting their enemles. Bathers at times have been greatly annoyed by these innocent looking jellyfish, which, skimming the surface of the water, resemble a marine flow- er. When these tentacles or feelers brush against the flesh of a swimmer they cause a burning sensation. Al- though the sting is siight, it leaves a red welf on the flesh which sometimes pains ahd dtches for hours. None . of ‘these local jeliyfish com. pares in-strength of their sting with the southern Portuguese jellyfish known as the man-of-war. This jelly- fish, Dr* Johh T. Nichols, head of the department of recent fishes at the American Museéum, #aid, is a tropical animal, found 4n the trade wind belts of all oceans, and carried northward off our coast in the Gulf Stream. Each Portuguese man-of-war, as a matter of fact. is made up of a number of small animals of the jellyfish order, which have in common an iridescent- colored, bubble-like float which rests on the surface of the water. The float in turn is furnished with a fin or sail, and in & good breeze the man-of-war progresses by its aid across the wind rather than directly before it The little animals which hang sus- pended from the float are not alike. Some are speclalized for eating. and supply nourishment for the colony. The function of others is solely that of reproduction. Still others devote their attention to stinging chance ac- quaintances, and are so effective that if two or three of them be drawn across a man's arm they are capable of almost paralyzing it for a short time. One of the most interesting things about this Portuguese jellyfish is a small species of fish Conspicuously spotted, which accompanies it on its travels, and when danger threatens swims up close under the float,-where it is safe from attack, protected by the powerful stinging tentacles of its companion. These little fishes are not immune from the sting, and they strike occasionally against the tenta- cles and are killed. But in general they seem quite safe and unharmed. Up to about five years ago there had been no record of this littlg, ish com- panion of the jellyfish from the Island ot Porto Rico. A representative of the American Museum who visited the island was sure they must occur be- cause the man-of-war drifted so fre- uently upon the island shore. He therefore made a special trip to a point on the shore at which the cur- rent was known to come in from the open sea. After watching for a while a man-of-war jellyfish was seen ap- proaching the coast on the sea's sur- face. With a net he awam out and scooped in the jellyfish, and sure enough. when he brought it to land there was a little man-of-war fish | which had accompanied it. 4 In_ universities the jellyfish is used in the study of soolegy a8 an exampie of co-operation among several indi- viduals for the common-good. The technical name for the Portuguese jellyfish is Nomeus. He is a fea- ture of the l.rnplflu His companion, —_— Every Japanese danghter on fhe verge of marriage’is told by her par- ents that she must be as true in every respect to her husband's parents s she has been to her own, and that any failure in this respéct on_ her part will be regarded in the old home as a dishomor done the aged parents. IFEQERAL AGENCIES CONFIRM TRADE REPORTS OF BUSINESS Outlook More Favorable Than It Has Been for Long Time—Basic Conditions Are National . University School Better—Profits Even the most comservative agen- cles of the United States government are agreed that the national business outlook 15 on the whole more favor- able than it has been for a long time Thére 18 no expectation of a sudden or sharp jump in the improvement, but rather the prospect of & slow but sure building up. In taking this view of the business outlook, the government agencies are but confirming business dispatches received during the last twenty-four hours from various sections of the country. Commodity conditions are sounder, perhaps, than during any spring since the country was plunged into war. Basic conditions are better, and this is particularly true in all lines where it s admitted that deflation has been carried out. Tt was only the pur- blind business man who thought that the inflated conditions of the war | period could In some miraculous man- ner be continued for an indefinite time. Far-Seeing Trader Fortunate. Happy today is the merchant of the manufacturer who foresaw earlier than his competitors the trend of the times, for he i8 enjoying a volume of trade that is entirely satisfactory, as his wares are priced at their replace- ment value rather than cost at the top of the market. The fact that business is moving in large volume is shown by the report of the research committee of the Na- tional Dry Goods Assoclation, which declaros that returns from nearly 300 department stores in all parts of the country for the first four months in- dicate a falling off of only siightly more than 2 per cent in the dollar value of sales as compared with the fist four months of 1920. That retall prices are from 30 to 40 per cent lower in most sections than they were at this time last year is a clear indi- cation that there has been an increase rather than a decrease in the volume of departmient store trade. Dispatches from various sections of the country during the last two months have in- dicated that this was true, but it has remained for te statistical depart- ment of the National Dry Goods As- soclation to prove the case. Price Reductlons at Variamee. There still is some question as to 'whether or not retail prices have kept pace with the decline in wholesale costs, but it is agreed that it is much easier to trace the trend of wholeeale than of retail prices. The wholesale market is comparatively limited, while the retail { market reaches far and wide. It has becn shown, for instance, that some re- tailern have reduced prices properly in one community and not in another. The wholesale markets are governed more closely by general or national condi- tions. Little or no complaint is heard today of wholesale prices. In the case of cot- ton, hides and non-ferrous metals con- ditions indicate that a fair degree of stability has been reported and prices are showing slight increases over pre- vious levels. The liquidation in the raw materials has been more complete than in any other branch of business, with the result that raw materials in many lines are selling at approximately pre-war prices. Some Price Levels Still High. Decline in spot prices of bituminous coal has been spectacular, but the present level is still as high as in 1919 and during the first months of 1920, and at present the tendency of these prices seems to be toward high- er levels. Pig iron, petroleum and leading bullding materials are still being reduced in price, but the pres- ent levels range up to and above twice the pre-war levels. As condi- tions improve in the manufacturing lines demand will undoubtedly in- crease for these commodities, and It is impossible to say whether these factors will be stronger than those making for lower levels. It will be seen, however, from all current reports that business is not desirous of a too literal retura to normalcy, or, to be more exact, to pre-war ice levels. real desire is that there shall be & readjustment of prices within the various indus- tries in such a way as to bring about a more normal relationship of various commodities and various goods to one another. Profits in certain lines have been narrowed down to such a point that readjustment of this sort Is es. sential to future business. Notes. cables received here, the Yokohama raw silk market is active, with prices advancing. ‘The demand for silk for prompt shipment is especially brisk. There is difficulty in filling these or- ders, however, because stocks have been allowed to run down to, almost famine proportions. The Canton mar- ket is firmer, partly on account of poor new crop prospects. This makes reel- ers reluctant to sell their good silks at present prices. The Shanghai mar- ket is rather quiet.

From the Philadeiphla Ledyer. One does not have to go any farther than to view the gorgeous Willet ate school at Princeton, or to study the jeweled beauty of the D'Ascenzo windows in the Memorial Chapel at Valley Forge, or to visit the Bryn Athyn Cathedral, still in construction, to know that Philadelphia has a repu- tation in the matter of a production of stained glass, Under the circum- stances, it is quite logical, therefore, that the larger and more impressive | bita of thirteenth-century stained| glase sold to connoisseurs at the Law- | rence sale in New York should come to Philadelphia and that it should be ! the man who is the great patron of the Bryn Athyn venture who should ay the unheard-of rrlee of $70.000 'or & relatively small square of me- dieval eraftsmanship. If, however, this_glass shall prove to’ possess a highly educational as well as decora- tive value, the money will not be fll- spent, particularly if it enables the artificers at B;yn Athyn to get at the #pirit of the thirteenth-century glass and to develop their. own modern wotk along the lines of the sincere, if 1imited, artistty of a famous period.
