SEAL ROCKS.

The seal rocks off San Francisco are
well worth seeing. There is q weird fas-
cination in them-something SO hideous-
ly uncanny in the swarm of sprawlng,
squirming things that rear themselves
about among the jagged assures, and so
utterly unlike any other known voice of
deep cry that goes up incessantly from
all the million throats, and predominates
over the thunders Of the ocean ITSELF
Every rock, from the base to the peak,
is alive with shapeless things in perpet-
ual motion, tumbling over each other,
twisting, rolling, fighting in clumsy fash
ion with their uncouth fippers, or plung-
ing with msrvelously smooth, graceful
curves into the boiling foam that breaks
all around their rocky fortresses. Some
are tawny brown or yellow, and these
have had their coats dried by the sun
after few hours basking on the rocks;
but those who have just wiggled up out
of the surf are dull, .laty black, and
look like animated bags of wet gutta per-
cha. All ages and sizes are represented,
from the monarch of the colony, ''Ben
Butler, gray old giant who might
weigh some 5000 pounds, down to the
babies who are just learning to wiggle
and squirm and leap after the fashion of
their mammas, and add their infant notes
to the general chorus. The sight is won
derfully interesting to the uninitiated.

A half dozen dark forms followed.

by strong arms and the well known

The MAHOGANY TREE.-Full grown,
mahogany tree is one of the monarchs of
tropical America. Its vast trunk and
massive arms, rising to lofty height
and spreading with graceful sweep over
immense spaces, covered with beautiful
foliage, bright. glossy, light and airy,
cllnglng so long to the spray as to make
1t almost an evergreen-present rare
combination of loveliness and grandeur.
The leaves are very small, delicate and
polished Ike those of the laurel. The
flowers are small and white, or greenish
yellow. The mahogany lumbermen,
having selected tree, surround it with
a platform about twelve feet above the
ground and cut it above the platform.
Some dozen or fifteen feet of the LARGEST
part of the trunk are thus lost; hut a
single log not unfrequently weighs from
SIX or seven to fifteen tons, and some
times measures as much as seventeen feet
IN length, and four and half to five and
half feet in diameter, one tree furnish
ing i've, three, or four such logs. Some
trees have yielded II, 900 superficial feet,
and at average prices have sold for s15,-
900.

FLOATING ISLAND. the many
natural curiosities of Tuolumne county
it is not generally known that there is a
Floating island" Up in the "Siski-
yous," lying like pearl in the great
mountain chain, is Squaw lake, beau
tlful sheet of water, now utilized by a
mining company as a reservoir. For
many years the lake has been a favorite
and delightful resort for fishing parties,
and contained nearly in its center an
island, comprising aboutan acre of ground
covered with luxuriant grass and a growth
of willow and alder. I. was never
dreamed that the pretty little island was
not terra frma, but when the bulkhead
across the outlet of the lake damned up
Its waters the island rose slowly until it
had been elevated fully sixteen feet above
its original level. 1t would be question
for the naturalist rather than the geolog-
lstto determine the age Of this boating
isl'nd, as it is evidently made up entirely
OF ieeayed vegetation. Perhaps at some
remote period the roots of tree, uptorn
blythe mountain storm, drifting out in
the lake, formed the nucleus from which
theisland has grown, but it seems singu-
larthat it should have remained anchored
ant Interchangeable in its position. The
loc'llty Is much frequented by pleasure
seekers, who viii hereafter notice the

A Horrible DUEL.-A horrible story
of duel between two inhabitants of
Morocco is reported from Oran. The
two principals, both occupying a good
position, were enamored of the same
beauty, and agreed to fight for her poss-
ession. The combatants met at a short
distance from Mequinez, each being
armed with carbine, revolver and a
hunting knife, and mounted on horse
back. The duelists rushed at one another
at full speed, which resulted in one of
the horses being killed, and the fight
was continued on foot After the two
men had received several bullets in diff
ent parts of their bodies they closed and
commenced violent and horrible strug-
gle with their knives. One Of the men
thrust his knife into the others throat,
and received cut from his enemy which
opened the whole of his chest. Too
weak to use their arms, the dying men
took to biting one another, and expired,
the one with his teeth closing on the
others cheek, who gave up his last breath
in endeavoring to rip open his adver-
sary's body. The object of the encount-
er was thus gained as each prevented the
other Obtaining, the hand of the girl, who
must in future endeavor only to captivate
one admirer at time if she wishes to
secure husband.

WATER iIrrrIEs IN A HoGsHRAD.-We

is sunk even with the ground. In the
bottom is some of the soil taken from the
little lake where the water lilies grow.
We put in several roots Of the lily. filed
the barrel with water, and awaited re-
suits. The next July we noticed several
small buds on the surface Of the water:
by the 1st of August the surface of the
tub was raass OF beauty, the large,
white lilies being an attraction for the
passers by that could not be resisted.
This was three years ago; each gear
there has been more flowers than ia the

THE WOMEN OF PERU.

Philadelphia Times: Lima is the para
disc OF women. They are called beauti-
full; so they are, if you admire black eyes
and ebony tresses. They are generally
occupied, but do not work; they look
upon labor as degrading. They rise
early, take cup of tea, and go to mass.
Their toilet requires but few minutes.
Their walking suits are neat and pretty;
in this respect they surpass us. The
dress is black, and never touches the
ground; there is no fussing or fumbling
with trains. A white skirt is sometimes
seen below the dress, with deep hem
and two tucks, and always white and
clean. Prunella CATERS are generally
worn, the hands are bare; the manta is
thrown over the head, falling gracefully
down almost to the bottom of the skirt.
The subject of dress claims most of their
time and attention. Their ball dresses
and opera and soiree suits are magnifi-
cent. Their boots, especially, are beau
tiful. No people have naturally as small
feet as the Peruvians. The Peruvian
made boots are too small for foreigners.
Peruvian ladies' are not very intelligent;
as soon as they pass the schoolgirl period
they care little for books or literature
Many learn to play the piano when young.
but donot care to continue when married.
They are excessively courteous in their
manners. They are always wealthy in
imagination--at least they never speak of
poverty. They love to smoke. Although
handsome when young, they scarcely
turn 20 when they begin to fade. One
thing always lasts with them, and that
is their gait. Their movements are Gid
ing and graceful; the same is true of the
men

LIFE IN THE POLAR REGIONS.

Prof. Nordenskjold says: "It is i'm
possible to form an idea of tempest in
the polar seas. The icebergs are like
floating rocks whirled along rapid cur
rent. These crystal mountains dash
against each other, backward and for
ward, bursting with roar ike thunder,
and returning to the charge until losing
their equilibrium they tumble over in a
cloud of spray, upheaving the ice fields,
which fall afterward like the crack of a
whip lash on the boiling sea. The sea
gulls fly away screaming, and often a
black shining whale comes for an instant
putting to the surface. When the mid
night sun grazes the horizon, the floating
mountains and the rocks seem immersed
in wave of purple light. The cold is by
no means so insupportable as is suppos-
ed. We passed from heated cabin at
thirty degrees above zero to IL degrees
below zero In the open air without IN
convenience. A much higher degree of
cold becomes, however, insufferable if
there is wind. At 15 degrees below zero
steam, as if from boiling kettle, rises
from the water. AT once frozen by the
wind, it falls in fine powder This
phenomenon is called ice smoke. At 40
degrees the snow and human bodies also
smoke, which smoke changes at once in
to millions of tiny PARTICLES, like needles
of ice, which fill the air and make light
continuous noise, like the rustic of a stiff
silk. At this temperature the trunks of
trees burst with a loud report, the rocks
break up and the earth opens and vomits
smoking water. Knives break in cutting
butter. Cigars go out by contact with
the ice on the beard. To talk is fatigu-
ing. At night the eyelids are covered
with crust of ice, which must be care
fully removed before one can open them.

SOMNAMBULISM.

From the Lancet: 1t occurred on
Sunday evening, to a lad, 16a years old,
in the service of butcher in Lambeth.
At about 20 minutes after 9 o'clock the
lad bent forward in his chair and rested
his forehead on his hands, and in 10 min
utes started up, went for his whip, put
on one spur, and whent thence to the
stable. Not finding his own saddle in
the proper place, he returned to the
house and asked for it. Being asked
what he wanted with it, he replied to go
his rounds. He went back to the stable,
got on the horse without the saddle, and
was proceeding to leave the place. With
much difficulty, owing to his great
strength, he was removed from the horse,
and it was by great efforts that he was
brought indoors. His master coming
home at this time, sent for an eminent
practitioner who lived near at hand, and
who stood by him for a quarter of an
hour, during which time the lad consid-
cred himself as stopped at the turnpike
gate and took sixpence out of his pocket
to be changed. Holding out his hand
for the change, the sixpence was return
ed to him. He Immediately observed:
''None of your nonsense-that is the six
pence again; give me my change"
When twopence-halfpenny was given him
he counted it over and said: "That is
not right; l want penny more;" max
ing the threepence-halfpenny which was
his proper change. He then said: "Give
me my castor r'-meaning his hat, which
slang term he had been in the habit of
using-and then began to whip and spur
to get his horse to go. His pulse was at
this time 1876, full and hard. No change
of countenance could be observed, nor
any spasmodic affection of the muscles,
the eyes remaining closed the whole of
the time His coat was taken off his
arm, his shirt sleeves tucked up, and he
was bled to 32 ounces. No alteration
had taken place in him during the first
part of the time the blood was flowing.
At about "a ounces the pulse began to
decrease, and when the full quantity
named had been taken, it was S0-a
slight perspiration appearing on the fore
head. After the arm was tied up he un-
laced one boot, and said be would go to
bed. In three minutes from this time
he awoke, got up, and asked what was
the matter-having then been one hour
in the tranee-and without the slightest
recollection of anything that had passed;
and wondered at his arm being tied up,
and at the blood, etc. A strong aperient
medicine was then administered; he went
to bed, slept well, and next day appear
ed in his usual health, excepting debility
trom the bleeding and operation of the
medicine, and had no recollection what
ever OF what had taken place. None of
his family or himself was ever affected in
this way before.
