How Fish Hear.

Professor E. D. Cope, a well-known naturalist, controverts Seth Greens al- legations that trout cannot hear. The professor says that there is nerve in the base of every scale on trout. at the point where the scale is united to the fish. All these nerves, from the base of each scale, reach to the large ganglion situated on the center of the forehead of the fish below the eyes. Nerves from the ganglion communicate to the internal ear. These nerves, at the base of each scale are formed to re- ceiye vibrations in water. Any vibra- ton in water reaching the scales of the fish is thus communicated to the internal ear. If trout were in Hume and one of the timbers that supported the Hume rested in the running water on the ground, the vibrations of this running water on the ground would be carried by tbis timber to the Hume and to tho water in it, four feet above. The ear oi the fish would separate and take cogniI zance of the difference in the vibrations as the human ear in the air distinguished the difference between the voices O friends. Professor Cope's explanation is complete in scientific detail, and |
 made clear by drawing of the scale ganglons and internal ear.

An Italian Trial.

Rome Correspondence New York Hour.
 Of special interest, when it comes on, is the trial of an actress, who is one of the most remarkable women in her pro- fession that this country has produced. She is partly French, her mother having been Parisian; and this may account for her eccentricities, her imagination, her extravagances, and her frency for dress and jewels. Nearly hundred different pairs of boots and shoes and ever three hundred complete toilets were in her wardrobe at one time. She was walk ing fashion book She was a beautiful woman, though no longer Tn the prime of youth. Upon one occasion she ex- hibited herself at a benefit performance as Venice Rising from the Sea-" her only covering being veil of gauge, re- presenting waves. and over this tableau vIvant was shed flood of electric light. The effect, says rumor, was stupendous. But now this strange creature is dream ing over her past grandeurs within a prison cell, where she awaits her trial on the charge of false maternity" It appears that whenever she feared to lose the affection of any of her lovers she simulated maternity. She tried this comedy once to often, however, and now she is discovered and in prison, with two midwives, supposed to have helped her in her fraud. Five of the best orators in Italy have been chosen for her counsel, and the trial is looked forward to with great interest and curiosity, as the most piquant disclosures are expected to be made. One of the supposed spurious children has pension from the Italian government, merely because it resem- bles the late king, This pension will, no doubt, cease now. The woman is married to a theatrical agent, but has long been separated from him.

With two milkings daily she gave only 146 quarts in the same number of days. Analyses more over showed that the milk in the first case was richer in butter globules by more than one-seventh than in the sec ond case.

 THERE are five men to one woman in Leadville, Col. At Silver Cliff the ratio is seven to one; at Pitkin seventeen to one. The older cities in Colorado, such as Denver, Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Georgetown, Boulder, Central and Golden, show fair proportion of wo- men.
 IN Russia the railways are so many separate thread lines, no network being formed. Thus two lines are instanced which run parallel to each other for nearly 500 miles and have no connec- tion. The result is that to get from one town to another almost in the same lati- tude long journey north has to be made, and then return to the south; the two sides of the triangle between Tzaritsyn, on the Volga, and Kharkoff, via Orel, measuring some 750 miles, while as the crow flies the distance between the two towns is not more than 375 miles.

She will be 2,000 tons larger than the Arizona or City of Berlin, her sister ship, and 600 tons larger than the new Cunarder now being constructed on the Clyde. She is to cost fortune, over S1 ,000,0 ,000 it is ssid, and will be as near perfection in the way of safety, speed and comfort as is possible for steamer companies and ship builders to attain.

The engines of this mar vicious addition to the Inman fleet will be of 7,500 horse power, with six cylin- ders, three of which will be of high pressure, and three low pressure. There will be elght boilers heated by forty eight furnaces. and it is promised that the new vessel will attain the great speed of 1S} knots an hour. There will be | three smoke tunnels. She will be a four-master and carry an enormous | spread of canvas as an auxiliary to the engines. The saloon and state-rooms will be placed amldships, and will con- tam every facility for comfort and lux ury.
