MISCELLANEOUS.

Five young polecats are said to have
been recently found in England comforta-
bly, imbedded in dry and withered grass,
and in a side hole of proper dimensions
for such a larder were 40 frogs and W
toads, all alive, but merely capable of
moving a little. On examination the
whole number proved to have been pur-
poscly and dexterously bitten through the
brain. Evidently the parent polecat had
thus provided the young with food which
could be kept perfectly fresh because alive,
and yet were quite unable to escape.
The giraffe has perhaps the most aston
ishing mimicry Of any animal. Its great
size. which enables it to live on lofty tree
boughs in its native African forests, makes
it also a most conspicous object to its enc
mics, of which the most dreaded are the
lion and man. Such is its mimiery. how
ever, that the most practiced eye has
failed to distinguish the giraffe from one
of the dead and blasted trees which abound
in the native haunts of this animal. Re
liable evidence sur us that lions have
been known to gaze long and earnestly at
n IN otionless giraffe, and being unable to
decide that it was not n tree, turn and
skulk away.
The most curious book in the world, is
one that is neither written or printed.
Every letter of the ext is cut into the
leaf, and, as the alternate leaves are of
blue paper, it is as easily read as the best
print. The labor required and the pa
thence necessary to cut each letter may
be imagined. The work is so perfect that
it seems as though done by machinery,
but every character was done by hand.
The book is entitled The Passion of
Christ. 1t is very old volume, and
was a curiosity as long ago as the year
1910. At this time it belongs to the fam
lily OF the Prince de Ligne, and is kept at
q museum in France.
The following explanation is given of
the origin and meaning of the phrase
"Dayy Jones Locker used by seanlen:
Sailors call the sea "Davy Jones Locker"
because the dead are thrown there. Davy
is a corruption of Duffy, by which
name spirits or ghosts are known among
the West Indian negroes, and Jones is a
corruption Of the name of the prophet
Jonah, who was thrown into the sea.
Locker, in seamen's parlance, means any
receptacle for private stores. So that
when any sailor says she gone to Davy
Jones locker" he means He is gone to
the place of safe keeping where Duffy
Jonah was sent to-" Smollett tells us in
"Peregrine Pickle that, according to
the MYTHOLOGY of sailors, this self same
Davy Jones is a fiend that presidcs over
all the evil spirits of the sea, and is seen
in various shapes, warning the devoted
wretch of death or woe.
