STRANGE MoSsrRosIrY FISH.

RoNDpuT, n. Y, Nov. 23.-James
Pells is an old Kingston Point fisher
man. On Saturday last when he drew
his net into the boat, near Kingston
Point, he saw something that drew
forth from him the exclamation /:
.'What's that?" During his many
years. experience he had never seen
such curious and 0dd.looking thing
before. It measures about one foot
and q half in length. 1t has four feet,
and there are four toes on each foot.
A nail is plainly discernible on each
toe. It's legs are shaped like those of
an alligator, and its gait is similar
when placed on the floor. It has a
copperhead snakes head, with gills-
eight In number--four on either side
Of lie head. The extreme ends of the
gills are like soft maroon colored plush,
and when 10 the water keeps opening
and closing. Two bead.llke eyes,
about as large as buckshot, give it a
sinister looking expression. From its
mouth to the tip of its tail, on the up
per side, the skin is of dark mouse
color, covered with perfectly round
brown spots as big as ten cent silver
piece. Its belly is pure white and it is
covered with spots similar to those on
the back. 1t has two rows of sharp
needle-like teeth In its mouth, and it
snapped savagely at small stick that
was poked at it. The tail is long and
narrow, tapering down almost to
point. 1t il a rapid'swimmer, making
onlookers' heads -whirl while watching
it's swift movements. The monstrosity
was on exhibition on Saturday after.
noon at William Dempsey's fish market
on Midstreet, Rondout. Hundreds of
people looked at it, not one of whom
could name it. Pells. intends taking
the curiosity to New York, where he
hopes to receive large sum of money
for it.

THE EARTH's CRUST.

If we bury thermometer fifty feet
below the surface of tho earth the mer-
curry will remain at the same point the
year round, in winter and in summer,
showing that the influence of the sun
does not reach below that depth. If we
carry the thermometer fifty feet lower,
the mercury will rise in the same
ratio for every fifty feet we 60 down.
It can be easily calculated at what
depths all known substances will
melt. This would not exceed fifty
miles. 1t will be thus seen that the
crust-or solid part-of the earth is
exceedingly thin, in proportion to the
diameter; not so thick as an egg shell,
in proportion to the size of the egg.
With crust so thIn, constantly cool
ing, and producin a pressure upon the
internal masses, it is not strange that
the bed of the ocean should be elevated
In single day., and whole cities have
been sunk in the same space of time.
The side of a volcanic mountain once
broke away, and the livid masses
flowed out, forming river twelve
miles wide, which, in its course, mel.
ted down six hills six hundred feet
high, filling up valleys six hundred
feet deep, and spreading over surface
eleven hundred square miIes.-School
