noislessly let himself out was at his ho-

burned his linen, carefully removed the

and then actually lay down and slept

as he told me, he had barely time to
make his arrangements and arrive at the
steamer before the hour of departure.

THE DEVIL FISH.

In the Brighton aquarium an expert
ment was lately tried to ascertain how
the frightful monster secures his prey.
A crab was so fastened that the string
could be withdrawn, and was lowered
near the great male octobus. He was
sleepy, and required great deal of tempt
ing, but the sight of his favorite food
overcame his laziness, and he lunged
out an arm to seize the precious morsel
1t was withdrawn from his reach; and SO
at last, he turned out of bed, rushed at
it, and got it under him against the plate
glass, just as was desired. In a second
the crab was completely pinioned. Not
struggle was visible or possible; each
leg, each claw, was grasped all over by
suckers embodied in them-stretched
out to its full extent by them. The
black tip of the hard horney beak was
seen for a single instant protruding from
the circular orifice in the center of the
radiation of the arms, and next had
crunched through the shell, and was
buried deep in the flesh of the miserable
victim. The action of an octopus when
seizing its prey for its necessary food is
very much like that of cat pouncing on
a mouse, and holding it down beneath
its paws. The movement is as sudden,
the scutiie as brief, and the escape of
the prisoner ever less probable. The
fate of the crab is not really more ter
rible than that of the mouse, or of min
now swallowed by perch; but there is
responsiveness about the form color and
attitudes of the octopus which invests it
with a kind of tragic horror.
