NAYEIRAL HISTORY.
The Flying Foxes of ceulnn

There are more singular inhabitants Of
Ceylon trees than monkeys. The fying. fox.
es hang from them like fruit. The fiobt NJ
these creatures is directed by means of q
membrane attached to the inner-side OF
each OF the hind legs, and kept dstended
at the lower extremity by projecting bone
just as fore -and-a aft sail is distended hv
"Satf." cover the entire surface of the
thin membrane of which they are formed
sentient nerves of the utmost delicacy are
distributed, by means of which the ami.
NAL is enabled during the darkness to di-
rect Its motions with security, avoiding OBJ
Jects against contact with which. at such
times, its sight and other senses would be
insufficient to protect it." By day they
suspend themselves from the highest branch
es of the silk cotton trees, hanging by
the claws of the hind legs, with the head
turned upward, and pressing the chin a.
galnst the breast. At sunset, taking wing.
they hover, with murmuring sound, occa-
stoned by the beating of their broad men,
braneous wings, around the fruit trees, on
which they feed till morning, when they re-
ooiO ChSii pCuSlle dLLlCuQ6 as before,
They hang in such prodigious numbers,
that the branches often give way beneath
their accumulated weight. They fy in
clouds as thick as bees or midges.
"When at rest or asleep, the disposition of
the limbs of the flying fox is most curious
At such times, it suspends itself by one
foot only, bringing the other close to its
side, and thus it is enabled to wrap itself
IN the ample fold of its wings, which envel-
op it like mantle, leaving only its up
turned head uncovered. It's fur is thus
protected from damp and rain, and to some
extent its body is sheltered from the sun.
AS it collects its food by means of its
mouth, either when on the wing or when
suspended within reach of it, the fying
fox is always more or less liable to have
the spoil wrested from it by its intrusive
companions before it can make good it's
way to some secure retreat in which to
devour 1t unmolested. In such conflicts
they bite viciousl y, tear each other with their
teeth, and scream incessantly till, taking
to flight, the prosecuted one reaches some
place of safety, where he hangs by one
foot, and grasping the fruit he has secured
in the claws and opposablc thumb of the
other, he hastily reduces it to Jumps, with
which he stuffs his cheek pouches till they
become distended like those of monkey:
then suspended in safety he commences to
chew and suck the juices, rejecting the
refuse with his tongue.

Curiosities Of Nature

Among the papers published in costly
style by the Smithsonian Institute at
Washington, is one on the microscopic
plants and animals which live on and in
the human body. 1t describes quite a
number of insects. The animal, which
produces the disease called itch, is ilustra-
ted by an engraving half an inch in diam
eter, which shows not only the ugly little
fellows body and legs, but his very toes,
although the animal himself is entirely
invisible to the naked eye When Lieu
tenant Bergman was sounding the ocean,
preparatory to laying TIE Atlantic Tcle-
graph, the quill at the end of the sound
ing line brought up mud, which on being
dried, became a powder so fine that on
rubbing it between the thumb and finger,
it disappeared in crevices of the skin. On
placing the dust under the microscope, it
was discovered to consist of millions of
perfect shells, each of which had living
animal

last been bounded and described by some
Western student, who says: 1t is bounded
by hugging and kissing on one side, and
cradles and babies on the other side. Its
chief productions are population, broom

while his brother was trying to compel him
to go, he stated that if he was compelled
