THE FISHING FRoG.-Writers on na.
tural history describe hideous reptile.
known as the fishing frog, which angles
for its game as expertly and with gas
great success as the most adroiE fiyE
fisher. He is n clumsy, awkward swim
mer, but nature las compensated him
for his unwieldiness by furnishing him
with an equivalent for q rod and line,
with bait always ready for use. Two
elongated ted.tentaclesspring from his nose,
which taper away like actual fishing
'szrods, To the end Of them ;isiatteched
sby aslender tilament, which, serves the
purpose of line, n bait in the form of
a shiny bit OF membrane. The hooks
are set in the mouth of the fisherman
below, and in order TO induce the fsli
to venture within' reach of. them; the
angler stirs up the mud at the bottom
with his fins and tail. This attracts the
fish and conceals him from their obser-
vation. He then plies his rod tho gilt
teringtbait glows in the water ikea liy-
ing insect. The dazed fish are taken in
great numbers, perfectly circumvented
by the trick OF the crafty angler.
AN UNFORTUNATE ISLAND. Some
months ago, the little Island of Niceros,
in the Grecian Archipelago, was shak en-
by series Of earthquakes, which did
much damage, and eliminated in the
bursting OF the highest peak on the
island, and the discharge of flood of
steam and boiling water, which threat
ened to inundate the whole island and
destroy every living thing on it. The
mountain, however, suddenly ceased to
boil over, and it was hoped for time
there would be no recurrence of the un-
pleasant phenomena. But, the. other
day, the mountain resumed it's horrid
belching, emitting suoh volumes of
scaldlng water that existence on the
island has become almost intolerable,
The ground is convulsed with earth.

the open fields, where they arc safer

RELATIVE AGES OF THE SWISS PILE
DWELLINGS,.

The new views of the constitution of bone
established by Investigations, according TO Carl
Aeby throw great light upon the OF the trans
formation OF the bones In the lake dwellings Of 5witzer
land, and exhibit simple connection between it and
their meteorological character The consideration Of the
OF preservation Of the bones ascribed TO different
periods added to that OF differences determined by
chemical analysis, affords satisfactory clew to their
relative ages which the latter alone failed to do. IS
assumed established. that the permanence OF bone
cartilage under water, and the metamorphoss OF the
inorganic matter are controlled by the same law and
reerabe to the dryness OF the structure and Its
inability to combine with water even under water
The fact that organic basis OF the compact tubular
bones Of the pile-dwelng period has also remained
ged for thousands years after the loss
of to per Of lime salts. and the absorption OF
per cent of water Is only apparently contradictory
since, contrary TO previous assumptions. IL mas been
found that bones OF q living animal contain con-
siderable amount OF water chemically combined. and
the chemical nature OF the cartilage increases this
capacity for combination with water on reduction OF
the temperature the body to that of the surround
ing atmosphere, that parad0xcal as 1t may appear
a fresh, hollow OK bone, puycrized aud m0stened Win
water becomes perceptDy warmer and at the average
Summer temperature abs0rbs per cent OF water For
the appears that bones just taken from
the pile-dwengs. although they have lost to per
cent of lime salts, afford dusdry powder still cap
able absorbing cent of moisture from the AIR,
as soon as external appearance permits the recog-
milton of their qualities of unchanged cartilage. more
rapid progress Of the organic changes and suosutons
will however be evident alter the cartilage has absorbed
more water and commenced gradual decay. The uni
versatility OF this proposition is demonstrated BY study
of the relations Of density and specific gravity and the
amounts OF organic matter and water IN bones of differ
ept animals or in different bones Of the ANIMAL
different degrees OF permanency Comparison
OF analyses of bones, from the sOcaled stone period
shows that all that have been metamorphosed exclu-
sively under the influence of dusi0n and which, there
fore afford dry powder when freshly removed from
the lake bottom have approximately the same amount
OF carbonate and OF uorine and the same aver
age of water and the specific gravity; while those
from the so-caed bronze period afford precisely the
same results except that smaller amount OF water and
higher specific gravity Indicate smaller loss OF lime
salts The conclusion is jusufabe that the interval
which separates these two periods from each other is
exceedingly small compared with that whch separates
them from our day.
