The Baking Shark.

An interesting archaeological dis
covery has lately been made by Prof.
Steenstrup, of Copenhagen. He finds
that certain comb-like bodies, which
have been supposed TO be appendages
of the skin of certain sharks, are really
shifting organs appended TO the interior
of the gill apertures Of the baaking
shark and he infers that this fish, the
largest shark of the northern regions,
which attains a length Of thirty-hve
feet or more, lives, like the still more
gigantic whales, upon the bodies Of
small marine animals strained from the
water by these peculiar fringes. The
very fine rays composing the fringes
are five or six inches long, and were
some years ago shown by Prof. Hanover
TO consist of dentine, so that each Of
them may be regarded as, 10 n certain
extent, the analogue OF a tooth. IL il
remarkable that Bishop Gunnerus, who
originally described he baskinR shark
(seldchus nlaIfRus), and regarded il
as the fish that swallowed the Prophet
Jonah, noticed the existence of these
branchial sieves more than a century
ago.

A Barbarous Bull-Fight.


A Mexican correspondent says: The
Spanish bull-fght loses nothing of its
barbarity here. We found an enclosure
prepared expressly for feats of this
character, containing already some 600
to 800 persons-men, women, and chill
dren. They were seated on platform
SO elevated above the circle in which
the fight was to take place, giving them
fair view of the performance, and at
the same time were perfectly safe from
the infuriated animals. Bands of music
were in attendance, together with exhl-
bitions of terpsicohorean feats, prepara-
tory to the first attack upon huge
wild bull. His entrance into the ring
was accompanied by four men, uni
formed in bright scarlet, who held red
blankets directly before the eyes of the
frightened animal, at which he made
his first plunge. These were suddenly
snatched away, causing him to rush
past. The operation was continued until
fear changed to rage. The men were
prepared with sticks about two feet IN
length. to which rockets were attached.
The sticks were onamented with various
colored tissue papers, and sharp barbed
dapgers were driven in the end, with
which the bull was pierced. They were
left sticking in the flesh, the pressure
being sufficient to explode the rocket,
causing report like that OF a pistol.
During this time the poor brute went
believing and charging around the cir
Gle at furious rate, making passes at
the men with blankets, who took good
care to keep out of his reach. After
torturing and tormenting the infurlateu
animal until he was so completely ex-
hausted that he would suffer without re-
sistance, he was elected from the ring.
But if TOO stubborn two horsemen
would annear and Iasso and drag him
awav during this cruel performance,
when the bull would make dash, cans
inc his nerciIess assailants to scale the
vail the crowd would, cry Bravo !

from the ring numerous voices shouted,

Spread of Certain Diseases.

It is TO be regarded as a settled fact
that diseases of contagious nature are
caused and spread by influences largely
within the sphere of our control. This
fact has recently been strongly urged
by DIR. Symes Thompson, we'll known
English physician, in a lecture deliver
ed by him in London. Every form of
infectious fever, ne asserts, has its lido
syncrasy. Thus, enteric fever and
cholera tend chiefly to disseminate
themselves through water passing into
wells and fountains of daily supply /;
scarlet fever hibernates in a drawer,
and, after long months, comes forth
with some old and cast-aside garment,
to be thrown with it around the throat
or head of some new victim, and so
start thence upon fresh career; typhus
fever crawls sluggishly from hand to
hand and mouth to mouth typhoid
fever generates itself where filth, over
crowding and impure habits of life pre-
vail. SO we'll known are those idiosyn-
crasies, and the means of control, that
the existence or spread of such disease
is directly attributable to neglect OF
the most simple laws of prevention.

Origin of Alcohol.

The ancients did not know how to
operate the distillation of wine and the
isolation of the volatile and imfamma-
BILE portion, that subtitle and ardent
spirit so common in these days under
the name of spirits of wine. The still
and the alembic are inventions of the
middle ages the first alchemist who
conceived the idea of submitting wine
to the action of fire discovered alcohol.
The honor of this inspiration is credited
to Arnaud de VilIeneuve, a learned man
of great celebrity, who was physician to
Peter Ill. of Arragon about the year
1880; but it is certain that he did moth
ing more than render the art of distilla-
ton common, he himself having learned
it of the Arabs settled in Spain. He
wrote history of this "water of wine,
or "water of the vine,' aqua Vtn9,
aqua vitis, as he called it; and attn
buted to it, among other marvellous
virtues. the cure of almost all diseases,
and the power of retarding, age and
nourishing youth. From thence II
happened that the name of edu-Ie-Vae,
aqua VitQ, "water of life, was given te

THE REIGN OF TERROR.

Hon. Alexander White, Congressman at
Large from Alabama. and one ofthe most en-
inent jurists and eloquent orators ofthe South.
arrived in Washington Friday. He tells a
startling story of murders and intimidations
of the colored people which have come with
in his own knowledge. He knows Of some
colored farmers who have large crops valued
at several thousand dollars, who do not dare
to stay on their farms to harvest them, and
who have fled to the towns in the hope of be-
ing better protected from personal violence
at the hands of the whites. Mr.. White says
that there never has been such condition of
excitement in the South since the war, and
that in some parts of the South the lower
classes of whites appear to think that war
now actually exists. He says that in most OF
the South the expression of republican opin-
ions is impossible, and that free speech is i'm
possible and life insecure, and that the Cen
eral Government is denounced with bitterest
hate and the most reasonable speeches made
by old rebel leaders The probabilities of
another secession war are openly discussed
Senator West states that there have been
one hundred political murders in the South
in the last three weeks. Some of the South
ern Republicans who are at Washington,
Congressman and others, are now preparing
to return, believing that the Attorney Gen
erals order will do much to make life secure.
There are several Southern Republicans there
who had come North intending never to re-
turn, unless the general Government took
some action, and they felt that their lives
were not worth an hours purchase in these
times.
