THE Mrsr1c NuMBER. Professor Ea
ton, in the last number of Silmans Ameri-
can Journal of Science, has shown that five
is the most favorite number of nature. He
says at least half of all known plants have
the parts Of qualification in fives, or in a
number which is the product of FIVE. The !
radical division of animals, such as the sea
star, medusR's head, and every species of
cora! rock have their rays in fiyes or in
number produced Ivy some product of five.

have FIVE fingers to the hand, and FIVE toes
to tie foot, IN common with most animals
which are provided with organs for suck

! REArIMATION OF Frozen FISH. In
winter, the Canadian fishermen erect huts
on the ice of the likes and rivers, and, cut
! tag hole in the ice, enclose it with n
screen of straw, &c, TO shelter themselves
from the cold wind. Sitting inside the
screen, they sink their hooks through the
hole made in the ice. Amongst the other
fish so caught are perch in abundance. At
ter hauling them up, if thrown aside on the
| ice, they speedily become frozen quite hard.
They then take them home and place them
in water near fire; in short time they
begin to exhibit symptoms of reanimation,-
the fins first culver, the gills open, the fish
gradually turns itself on its belly, moves at
! first slowly about tho basin. and st last
completely revives and swims briskly about.
