NATURAL HISTORY,
From Capt. Halls autobiography.
FLYING FISH.

'sWhile We were stealing along under the ge.
NAL influence of this newly found air, which as
vet was confined to the upper sails, and every
one was looking open mouthed to the eastward to
catch gulp Of cool air, about dozen flying fish
rose ont of the water, Just under the fprechains,
and skinned away to windward at the height Of
ten or twelve feet above the surface.
"A large dolphin, whiehhsd been keeping com.
pany with US abreast Of the weather gangway. at
the depth of two or three fathoms, and. as usual,
elistening most beautifully in the sun, no sooner
detected our poor. dear little friends take wing,
than he turned his head towards them. and dart
ing to the surface, leaped from the water with
velocity little short, as it seemed, Of cannon
ball. But although the impetus with which he
shot himself into the air gave him an initial We
locity greatly exceeding thar of the flying fish;
the start which his fa.ed prey had got enabled
them to keep ahead of him for considerable time.
The length Of the dolphihs first spring could not
be less than ten yards; aud after he fell we could
see him gliding like lightning through the water
for a moment, when he again rose and shot for
ward with considerably greater velocity than at
first, aud. OF course, to stll greater distance.
In this manner the merciless pursuer seemed to
stride along the sea with fearful rapidly. while
his brilliant coat spanked and flashed in the sun
quite splendidly AS he fell headIons on the
water at the end Of each huge leap, series Of
circles were sent far over the still surface which
lay as smooth mirror; for the breeze. although
enough to set the ROYALS and topgalant studding
sails aloft, was hardly as yet felt below
The group Of wretched flying fish, thus holly
pursued. at length dropped into the sea; bat we
were rejoiced to observe that they merely touch
ed the top Of the swell, and scarcely sunk in it,
at least they instantly set OF again in fresh
and even more vigorous flight. 1t was particu-
larry interesting to observe that the direction
they now took was quite different from the one
in which they had set out, Implying but too obvi-
ously that they had detected their fierce enemy
who was following them with giant steps along the

.Spnshim. 1t will be seen BY the suojoined
extracts from Willis's last letter from Europe,
that the great professor of phrenology is coming
among us; and that those who have not yet found
ant what their own peculiar character is, or ought
to be- may have an opportunity Of submitting their
uumbskus to his inspection.
81. The preparations looked very formidable
A frame, Of the length Of the human body, lay
in the middle of the room, with wooden bowl

dress TO prevent stain to the clothes. As l was
the Youngest, took my turn first. 1t was very
like preparation for being beheaded. My neck
was barred, my hair cut, and the long white dress
mt ON. The back OF the head is taken first:
and as [ was only immersed up to the ears in the
Iinuid plaster; this was not very alarming. The
second part, however, demanded more patience.
NV head vas put once more into the stItfened
monld of the first half. and as | could get my
Ce,,ures composed was ordered to shut my eyes;
NV hair was oiled and laid smooth, and the liquid
MASTER poured slowly over my mouth. eyes, and
forehead, till was cased completely in stiifen-
ing mask.
THE material was then poured on thickly, till
the mask was two or three inches thick, and the
voices of those standing over me were scarcely
audible. / breathed pretty freely through the
two small or6ces at my nose; but the dangerous
experiment Of Mademoisele Sontag, who was
nearly smothered in the same operation, came
across my mind rather wildly; and II seemed to
me that the doctor handled the plaster quite too
unginserly, when he came to mould about my
postrils. After haif.hour's Imprisonment, the
plaster became sufficiently hardened. and the
thread which was laid upon my face was drawn
through, dividing the mask into two parts. 1t
was then gradually removed, pulling very tena-
ciously upon my eye-lashes and eyebrows, aud
leaving all the cavaties Of nv face filled with
particles Of lime. The process is a tribute to
vanity, which one would not be willing to pay
very often.
Ihave had several long conversations with Drs1
Spurzheim about America, aud have at last OBJ
taiDed his positive assurance that he would visit
it. He gave me permission this morning to say,
(what am sure all lovers of knowledge will be
pleased to hear that he should sail for New
York in the course Of the ensuing summer, and
pass year or more IL lecturing and travelling in
the United States.
He is man to obtain the immediate confidence

moral worth, and the most candid and open mind.

waves, and now gaining rapidly upon them. His
terrific pace, indeed, was two or three tunes as
swift as theirs-poor little things! and whenever
they varied their flight IN the smallest degree, he
lost not the tenth part of a second in shaping a
new course. soas to cut of THE chase, while they,
in manner really not unlike that Of the hare,
doubled more than once upon their pursuer. But
It was too plainly to be seen that their strength
and confidence were fast ebbing. Their flights
became shorter and shorter, and their course
more Auttering and uncertain, while the enor
nous leaps of the dolphin appeared to grow only
more vigorous at each bound. Eventually, in
deed, we could see, or fancied we could see, that
this skiful sea sportsman arranged all his springs
with such an assurance of success, that he con.
triyed to FALL at the end of each, just under the
very spot on which the exhausted flying fish
were about to drop! Sometimes this catastrophe
took place at too great distance for US to see
from the deck exactly what happened; but on our
mounting high into the rigging, we may be said
to have been in at the death; for then we could
discover that the unfortunate little creatures, one
after another, either popped right into the dol
phin's jaws as they lighted on the water, or were
snapped up instantly afterwards.
