A CuriOus Chinese Fish.
[London News.


If Mr.. Darwin wished for a further in
stance in support of his theory of the
origin of species, he might possibly find
one in some curious fish which have just
been brought to this country and added
to the collection in the Brighton Aqua
rum. These fish are called telescope
fish," from the remarkable length of
their organs of vision, which project a
considerable distance from the side of the
head. They are natives of China, and
the stories which have been circulated
concerning this peculiar feature in their
formation have generally been received
with incredulity. In large specimens
the eyes are placed OH the extremity of
cylindrical projection as much as an
inch i'm length, and when, at last, indi-
vidual fish found their way to Europe,
they were considered to be distinct
species. A further popularity is ia the
formation of the caudal and anal fins,
which are prolonged in such way as to
give the fish the appearance of having
two or more tails. These telescope
fish" are, however, gold and silver carp,
which the Chinese love to exercise their
cunning in cultivating, and they origin
ally sprang, no doubt, from some speci-
mems which produced the abnormal
growth as protection from some injury
either accidentally or purposely inflicted.
Just as florists produce the manifold va
rieties of form and color in plants from
what is known in the trade as "spOrt,"
or unusual growth, or rs bird fanciers
breed the cranky" varieties of canaries
which find favor with certain amateurs,
so the Chinese, by years of selection and
inbreeding, have produced this monstrous
form of the common carp.

Where the cattle were standing, and said,
While they trembled with fright-"Now which oil

Each one OF them ell shook his head.
And the way the rest did was shamei

For they always made her bear the pame'

Now each beast shook his head; "she'll catch it,

Weighing a Hole.

Mr.. Nj, of a certain town in Yer.

eater of the Sixth Ward, young lady of
the upper section of the city told her
friends it was nothing. She could give
that Sixth Ward girl points in the bust

they bought half bushel of apples and
sent out word to seven of their friends
that they were going to have an apple
dumping party. AL hands helped to
get them ready. Finally they sat down
to the feast, eleven of them in all. 1t

said it was twenty-five minutes Of eleven.
The champion of the night had put away
fifteen dumplings and as the last one
disappeared down her throat she rolled
her eyes upward smiled and had just
enough breath left to wish she had more
capacity. Her appetite was very good.
The next highest on the list was nine,
two had eight, three had six, two bad
five and two had four each, making
seventy-six dumplings in all. They
averaged the size of chestnut burr but
slipped easier. Milk sauce only was
used. The champion eater remained
down stairs until halfpast twelve o'clock
and laughed and joked with the rest of
them. She slept soundly and dreamed
about dog.

know it. They are being tested this sea-
son more generally on greater variety
of soils and crops than ever before, and
the results must be more conclusive than
any that have preceded"
In the Country Gentleman of about the
same date an Intelligent correspondent
has the following:
"a farmer who sows clover seed plen-
teously and uses plaster literally need
not fear to grow as large crops as he can.
Large crops enable him to make and use
more manure and thus increase the fer
tility of the soil. In the clover crop the
large, broad leaf takes the most of Its
growth from the atmosphere and the
root is mainly nourished by the subsoil
Thus where clover is grown the soil from
five to six inches in depth is constantly
tending to fertility and where manure il

grows clover has observed the first reaui
