Roman Fish Culture.

The luxurious Romans achieved great
wonders in the art of fish breeding, and
were able to perform curious experiments
with the piscine In habitants Of their aq-
uariums; they were also we'll versed in the
arts Of acclimation. A classic friend, who
Is well versed In ancient flshilore, tells me
that the great Roman epicures could run
their fish from ice.cola water into boiling
ct,lldrons without handling them. They
spared neither labor nor money in order to
crafty their paiates. The Italians sent to
the shore Of Britain for their oysters, and
then favored them In largo quantities on
artificial beds. The value of q Roman gem
tlen,an's fish in the palmy days OF Italian
bapqueting was represented byan cnormolis
sum Of money. The, stock kept up By Luc-
ullus was never valued at a less sum than
$85, 050. These classic lovers Of good
things had Iet breeds Of fish in the same
sense as gentlemen OF the present day have
pet breeds OF sheep Or horned cattle. Red
mullet or tat carp sold for large prices. We

Casts from Living Forms.

! was taken by a friend, says correspond
en(, to sec the wonderful plaster casts of lv-
ing human beings which arc among the cur
iositics of the Russian department. How
the thing is done Is impossible to imagine,
but there the two statues arc, rccumbcnt
female figures, undoubtedly taken from liv-
ing women. One lies slightly turned upon
her side, her lips parted in a smile, as
though she wss trying to suppress laugh.
The other; who was much the finer form of
the two, lies face downward, her feet cross
cd and her head pillowcd on her folded
arms, as though she had thrown herself
down to sleep. The minutest details of
the texture Of the skin, nails, etc., arc very
perfectly reproduced, the ''gooseneshh
yvherewith the skim Is covered being anus
ingly noticeable, and showing that the pre-
paration used for these casts, the compost
ton whereof Is a secret, must be applied
cold. Then all the little indcntations in
the soles Of the feet and the palms of the
hands, and the curve Of the nails and :hcir
trimmings Of skin and flesh are produced
with startling accuracy. Tho process by
which these figures arc produced is still a
secret, but II is certainly wonderful and

Sharks jumping at Food.

When cruising in the fore and aft t-schoon
er 'Sunny South" on the Mosquito Coast,
few years since, the steward hung a roast
OF beef from one of the stern windows; and
TO his annoyance it was nOn-est in the
morning. The weather at the time was
very calm, and 1t was consequently suppos-
ca that some forccastlc hands had got down
III the rudder chains and appropriated it.,
although how it was to be cooked without
discovery was difficult to know. However,
second piece was about being hung out,
which doubtless was to be well watched,
when, as the piece of line was about to be
made fast, violent pull was felt, and on
the steward running out his head to find
the thief, it was found to be a shark in
stead of man; the fish had sprung at least
three feet from the water to secure his prize.
a friend Of mine, while fishing with deep
sea-llne, was nearly losing his hand through
one OF these blood-thirsty providers of the
deep. The fish had not been biting rapidly
and careless from want of success, the hand
III which he held the line was outside the
gunwalc of the boat and close to the
surface; fortunately. he happened to cast
his eye at the moment overheard, and lust
in time, for shark, seven or eight feet long,
was close to the surface, coming straight for
it. On examining the head of a shark, it
vii! be seen that from the position of the
eyes, they can well sec what is taking place
above them, and in all instances where
have observed them take Il bait, they always
gos underneath kc'o:c scizing, it turning
on their side at the moment of laying hold.
l never previously, till reading Mr.. Buck
lands remarks, saw 1t stated that a shark
scented his prey; ne or.ht le IS, / have long
Thought SO, and that their oltactory nerves
are OF the greatest acutcncss and use in
directing them to where it is found. On
two occasions, once in the Southern Indian
ocean, ON another, Off the north coast of
South America, near Los Rocas, although
no sharks had been seeu previously, they
appeared about the ship soon after the most
yenturous had bathed. Again was on
board avcssel bccamcd, within sight of the
volcanic rocks, st. Paul's and New Amstcr
dam. Tho captain kindly lent his gig to
procure some specimens of Cape pigeons,
Cape hens, and albatross A great number
of birds were killed. and whether it was
the scent Of blood or not, l can not say,
but white shark about ten feet long jon-
cd us, and emaincd by us till our return to
the. ship. He was aftcrward caught by
using Cape hen for bait. On examining
tho head Of a shark, the snout will be
found to project long way over the upper
jaw, and although there are no regular nos
trils defined, such as will be found in the
salmon or trout, there are great number
OF minute orficcs, doubtless intended for
smelling, and which duty am inclined to
Delieve they most ably perform.

Why Gold Changes Color.

1t is well known that the the human
body contains humors and acids, similar in
action to, and having like tendency to-
wards, bascr metals as nitric and sulphuric
acids have, namely, to tarnish or dissolve
them, varying in quantity in different per-
sons. Of this theory we have abundant
proof in the effects which the wearing of
jewelry produces /. on different persons.
Thousands wear continually, without any
i'll effect, the cheaper class of jcwerly with
