A SILK SPINNING FISH.

There is mollusk-the pima of
the Mediterranean-w has the
curious power of spinning viscid
silk which is made in Sicily into a
textile fabric. The operation OF the
mollusk is rather like the work of a
wire-drawer, the substance being first
in mould formed by sort of slit in
the tongue, and then drawn out as
may be required. The mechanism is
exceedingly curious. A considerable
number Of the bivalves possess what
is called byssus, that is, bundle of
more or less delicate filaments, issu-
ing from the base Of the. foot, and by
means of which the animal fixes itself
to foreign bodies. 1t employs the
foot. to guide the filaments to the
proper place and to glue them there;
and it can reproduce them when cut
away. The extremity Of the thread
is attached by means Of it's adhesive
quality to some stone; and the per
foration of the eXtensile member.
The material when gathered is washed
in soap and water, dried, Strengthened
and carded-I lb. of coarse fiiament
Welding about ozs. Of fine thread
which, when made into web, is OF
burn;shed golden brown color. A
large mandatory for this materla
exists in Palermo.

FISHING EXTRAORDINARY.

There are extraordinary ways OF
fishing practiced by people OF unclvll-
lied countries. which are not the re-
suit of ignorance, but of that ingenu-
ity which is always rendered fruitful
by dire necessity and the instincts OF
self-support.
method employed by the Chinese
is generally practiced at night,
and depends upon peculiar power
which white screen, stretched under
the water. seems to possess over the
fishes, decoying them to 1T and making
them leap. A man sitting at the stern
of a long narrow boat, steers her with
a paddle to the middle of river, and
there stops. Along the right hand
side of his boat a narrow piece OF
white canvas is stretched; when he
leans to that side it dips under the
surface. and, if it be mOonlit night.
CLEANS through the water. Along the
other side of the boat net is fasten-
ed so as to form a barrier two or
three feet high. The bOatman keeps
perfectly still. Ifanothor boat passes
by, he will not speak he is only I'M
patient at the slight breaking of the
silence. While he keeps thus without
sound Or stir. the fish, attracted by
the white canvas. approach and leap
and would go over the narrow boat
and be free in their native waters on
the other side, but for the screen OF
netting, which stops them and throws
them down before the mans feet.
Every one must have heard OF the
fishing cormorant, which is actually
trained in China to catching fish. A
man takes out ten or twelve of these
web-footed birds into boat, and as
soon as the boat stops, at his WORD
they plunge into the water and begin
at once searching for and diving after
fish. They are most dilligent work
ers, for, if one Of them is seen swim
ming about idly, the Chinaman In the
boat strikes the water near the bird
with the end Of long bamboo; and,
not touched, but recalled to sense Of
duty. the cofmorant at once turns TO
business again. As soon ss fish Is

hammer geyer, the candor Of the Alps,
whirling down from the depths Of air
upon that feeble girl.
For an instant, even as he rushed
over cliff and crag, shouting defiance,
he thought all was lost. One instant,
the great gray pinions yelled her from
his sight, the huge talons seemed to
grasp her. But with shrill cry, she
shook her kerchief at the savage bird,
staggered two PAGES forward and fell
headlong-but fell safe on the brink
of the abyss. The vulture scared to
swOop again, but ere he swooped, the
true Swiss bullet found his vitals.
His talons had left deep wound or
the fair brides brow, but her gentle
courage had wounded yet more deeply
the tender heart of her preserver; and
both wounds were soon healed, and
nearly by the same poocess.

time than bladders or skins. With
some iplpatience the black buoy and
the line attached are brought on
board. Like az inverted bell-shaped
flower pot comes the first earthen-
ware lar, hardly the size Of child's
head, attached to the line. Mouth
downward, the jar is pulled up from
the bottom, and when all the water
has been poured out, the fishermen
give a look inside. No occupant being
found, the jar is once more lowered
into the sea by the attached string,
which is cverrun till the next jar is
pulled up, brought on board, and
similarly examined. When six or
seven are examined, and no occupant
is found in any Of these, the fisher
men show no impatience. But pres
emily from jar an octopus is jerked
upon the floor of the beat, and with
some satisfaction the Japanese watch
it's tentacles wriggle all about the
planks and cling round their legs.
Changing it's hues, the disgusting
cephalopod looses its redder blotches
for paler patches, and eventually
crawls into darker corner to coil
itself away. Pouring the water more
carefully from the inverted pots, the
fishermen secure q few more of these
animals, which crawl and Irvine about
with snakelike contortions. The long
string of pots took time to overhaul,
but the spells were reckoned reward
for the trouble. When the fishing
was completed, and the black floats
were again left to mark the spot, our
boat was sculled somewhat further
down the land.
We had then time to learn some
thing more of this fishing or takO, as
the octopus is named by the japanese
| fishermen. Through our friends, we
learn that the tako needs no bait to
entice it to enter the earthen jars
used by the fishermen to entrap but
crawling about at the bottom, or
shooting itself through the sea by the
expulsion of water, it finds in thedark
earthen jar ga comfortable house, =
and so occupies it until the fisherman
finds it and captures it. The tako is
largely eaten in Japan, where all the
products of the sea are accounted
equally wholesome with those Of the
land; and beneath an ugly skin the
flesh of this speckled monster is
thought very good, cooked in several
ways, and eater with or without soy
