Singular Imitation of Fish Motion.

1t is now proposed to propel ship
by set of machinery initiating the
movements of the dorsul fin of the sea-
horse (Hippocampusj. Mr. Holds
worth remarks that "they generally
maintain nearly erect attitude, sup
porting themselves in the water by II
peculiar undulating movement OF the
dorsal fin" and the late DIR. Gray also
remarked of them that "they swim with
facility, but not very rapidly and they
seem to move chiefly by the action OF
the dorsal and pectoral fins. The
former is fully expanded when they
move, and in very rapid motion, the
action being II kind of wave commencing
at the front end and continued through
its whole length continually repeated,
so as TO form kindof screw propeller.
This undulatory motion of the fin IL
produced by the lateral movement, in
given constant order, of the spines
which go to compose it; the movement
being at right angles to the long axis OF
the body, and consequently at right
angles to the direction in which the fish
travels. A delicate membrane intervenes
between each two spines, which partici.
pates in their changes in position, and
forms the inclined planes above spoken
of. Mr.. C Becker, of London, has CON
structed for the royal institution boat
beneath the keel of which IL arranged a
series of rods, to which an undulatory
movement similar to that of the dorsal
fin of the hippo@mpus is communicated
by means of clockwork. The rods wave
backwards and forwards, beginning at
the first and continuing to the last a
right angles to the length Of the boat
and propel it along by slow motion a
in the case of the fish.

ONE of the dangers to which Eu.
ropean tourists are exposed, is the pres.
ence, this season, of ar unusual guam
tiy of enormous icebergs and ice-iields
in the Atlantic. Many vessels have
latterly taken the extreme southern
route to Liverpool, Hamburg and other
points, on this account. The steamer
LEIPZIG, which arrived at Baltimore on
Saturday, although she came by the
southern steamer track, ran alongside
OF an iceberg two hundred feet high
and five hundred feet long.
AMONG the list of cabin passengers on
the ill.fated Schiller, as published in
the New York Herald are seven from
Georgia, of whom only one, Marx
Cohen, of Montezama, Ga, is reported
saved. Those lost are G. g., NJ. W.
and Miss Jeanie Leonhardt, of Augusta,
M. Harrison and A. Waterman, of
Hawkinsville, and Hermann Spritz, of
Macon. We notice but one other name
from any southern state, Joseph Vile,
of Gre ensboro, N. G. No southern
passengers appear in the steerage list.
STATISTICS have recently been publish
ed showing the condition of the church
of England. Since the year 1900 and
before 1872 the church of England had
built 3, ,204 churches and rebuilt 925,
making 4,219 in all. In 1881 the num-
Der of benitices was over 10000; now
there are over 13,200, with an annual
income of $S,267,230. England had
5000 parsonages in 1886; and there are
11,000. From 1889 to 1872 there were
expended on parish schools about 49,.
100000.
GREAT BRITAIN pays $l40,O 1000 for
the annual maturing interest upon her
national debt. This has been done for
sixty years. In that time she has paid
her debt twice over, but yet it remains
in full vigor at it's old amount. What
moth is interest Yet this is what we
are doing in this country. All our
greenback indebtedness without interest
we are putting upon the people with
interest, which already amounts to more
than one.third of the expenditures of
the government.
THE San Francisco Chronicle calls
the attention OF immigrants to Califor-
mia, that they will have to contend
against the cheap labor of the large
Chinese population on the Pacific coast,
and consoles itself with the reflection
that Caucasian labor will come off vic
torious and drive the Mongolian popu-
laton back to China. This may be
true, but the record is that the China
man will underbid any class of laborers
for work, and the existence of large
Mongolian element in California should
be duly considered by men without
capital who have caught the Pacific
coast fever and mediate migration.
