A Tree Climbing Fish.

OF all Iand-freauenting fish, by far
the most famous is the so-called climb
ing perch OF India, which not only
walks bodily out of the water, but even
climbs trees by means of special spines
near the head ard tail, SO arranged as
to stick into the bark and enable it to
Wiggle its way up awkWaTdly, some
thing after the same fashion as the
looping Of caterpillars. The tree
climber is a small, scaIy fish, seldom
more than seven inches long: but it has
developed q special breathing appara-
tus to enable it to keep up the stock Of
oxygen on its terrestrial excursions.
which may be regarded as to some ex-
tent the exact converse of the means
employed BY divers 10 supply tbemselv-
es with air under water. Just above the
gilis. which form of course its natural
hereditary breathing apparatus, the
climbing perch has invented a new
and wholly original water-chamber.
containing within it frllIed bony or
gan, which enables It TO extract oxygen
from the stoIed-up water during the
course Of its aerial peregr1nations
While on shore it picks up small insects
worms, and grubs, but it also has vege-
tartan tastes OF its own, and does not
despise fruits and berries. The Indian
jugglers tame the climbing perches and
carry them about with them as part Of
their stock in trade; their ability to
live long time out Of water makes
them useful confederates In many
small tricks which seems very wonder
ful to people accustomed to believe that
fish die almost at once when taken out
Of their native element. from Fish

What Dumas Would Have Done With tn,

What Dumas Would Have Done With the
Ducats Of the Dead Vanderbilt.
Hard it is, indeed. to see how Mr..
Vanderbilt was the better for his
money. Perhaps he had 100000
pounds. there or thereabouts. What
can man do with forty millions? He
can do nothing. unless he has the i'm
agination OF Dumas or the tastes of a
Beckford. Mr.. Beckford collected a
truly delightful and marvellous library
of books. Mr.. Vanderbilt did nothing
of the sort. He had no particular crav-
ing for rare editions, and the master
pieces of Duseuil and LIE Gascon. Du-
mas, again, would have run through
the money like man. He would have
presented Italy to the Italians and
Rome to Victor Emmanuel Perhaps
he would have annexed India; very
probably, at least. he would have made
the attempt, He would have carried
Duchesses captive, and his dramas
would have been magnificently per-
formed in Timbucto. He would have
cut q canal through the Isthmus Of
Corinth; he would have carved Mount
Athos into statue of Athos, Comte dc
Ia Fere. He would have seen to it that
flying became practical art, and
frances navies would have pounced
from the central blue on Birmingham
and carried of the Liberal Seven to
chains and slavery. Dumas would
have released convicts and imprisoned
Princes. He would have fitted up in
palatial style as many caves as Shelley
ever dreamed of, and would have filled
them with the most magnificent and
most magnanimous brigands, many of
them cardinals in disguise. o, grea.
and glorious Alexander, exclaims the
dazzled fancy, why hadst not thou the
forty millions. while the tame Wander
bilt starved on pittance of few
yearly thousands?-Saturday Recie,O.

poor child, suffering as she was she
seemed to be thinking of everybody
but herself-to be patient and good
natured, and not to mind if he did suf-
fer good deal, and he would see her
again before long.
''1t is enough to make one want to
die just to see the dear child again.
But never mind, children, l shall be
be with YOU soon" As she said this
she looked steadily upward and spoke
in confidential tone, as if she saw
those dear ones on the very border of
the spiritual world. waiting impatient
ly for her to join them.
During this simple talk of the loving
old woman, if there was dry eve in
that a-minute-before careless, jovial
crowd, mine were so blinded that l
could not see it, and I felt convinced,
more than should have been by vol
umes OF panegyrics, that from that
dusty room more than twenty years
ago an angel had taken her homeward
flight. and that she had since been per-
mitted occasionally to fit across Old
Paul's degraded soul. if. perchance,
she might vet win him from the error
Of his ways.

one grow up under such circumstances
and with such surroundings? How?

The Divine goodness is SO prodigal-
no, not prodigal, but profuse-in the
bestowal of its gifts that, as there is no
place in nature without its beauty, so
there is none so morally waste and
desolate that it does not produce some
flower of Paradise; there is no thick
mantling pool of depravity so stag
mating that its waters are not some-
times stirred by the rustling of an an

Colossal Structures with I'm neuse Bel
fries and Bells.
There were no temples in Japan until
thirty years before Christ. Sacred cere-
monies and religious rites were cele-
brated in the open air. The sacred
symbols were kept in the Mikado's S
palace. and their presence was believed
to invest that dignitary with godlike
powers. At this date, a rebellion having
appeared among his subjects. the Mi
kado feared that he had displeased the
gods by keeping the emblems too near
his person. SO he resolved to build and
dedicate temple inviolate to their use.
He then appointed his daughter priest
ess of the shrine and keeper of the
symbols. This custom has ever since
prevailed; that is, the shrines which
contain the relics of the '.divine age"
are always in charge of vir-
gin priestess Of imperial blood.
Before the advent of Buddhism.
which came with the conquest of Corea.
the temples were of great simplicity.
Now they are colossal in style, with
immense OefIFloS anu DciIS, SURROUNDED
with courtyard adorned with stone
carvings. bronze portals, lofty palms
and floral magnitcence. In the days
of pure Sointoo worship no idols deeked
the affairs, no gaudy vestments minis
tered its ritual. Now huge portals Of
stone open the path to sacred in
closures, and peeping ont from camphor-
groves or tall ranks of fiEs are crimson
pagodas. wayside images. and costly
shrines. These temples and shrines
dot the valleys and hillsides alike and
crown the mountain-sop. On Mount

and the most beautiful valley in the

FUTURE cATAcLYsM.
The Sinking OF the Atlantic Coast and thu
Recession Of Niagara Falls.

The Sinking Of the Atlantic Coast and the
Recession of Niagara Falls.
The scientists have again unfolded to
the public their views to the effect that
the Atlantic coast line of the United
States is settling away. and will be at
length submerged by the ocean. The
rate at which it is sinking is not such as
to create immediate alarm. The most
that is claimed is that the crust of the
earth is falling in at the rate of quar-
ter of an inch a year, or about foot in
fifty years. At this rate the Atlantic
Ocean will submerge New York City
about the time when by the recession Of
Niagara Falls to the outlet of Lake Erie
at Buffalo. the chain of great lakes will
be drained of a large portion of their
contents. This generation will hardly
take an interest in either event. which
will occur at a period in the future SO
very remote as to lose much of its in.
terest as study.
The sinking of the Atlantic coast
has long been theme of scientific con-
lecture and calculation. BY what svs-
tenn of measurement the fact has been
ascertained we are not informed. In
struments of very delicate character
which measure with considerable ac-
curacy almost infinitesimal distances
have been invented for scientific cal
culation, and the results which they
produce are sometimes very striking.
1t is not impossible that, as the earth's
internal fires are still cooling, the
process of shrinkage also continues
and that the shell falls in rs vacuum is
created by the decrease in the size of
the central fiery core. But there are
grave reasons why it may be doubted
whether any uniform rate Of sinking ia
perceptible by any means of measure
ment either along the Atlantic sea-
coast or elsewhere.
But that the Falls are receding there
can be no doubt That they were for
merly locased near the outlet of Mag
ara River is an established fact, and
that they have receded within recent
era seven miles from Lewiston to their
present locality Is equally certain.
When they shall back up so far that
the dam across the outlet of Lake Erie
shall give way, the outpour from the
basin of the lakes will sweep down
through the valley Of the Ontario and
out through the channel of the St.
Lawrence in a food that will de-
vastate the entire East. Lake Michi-
gan, owing to its great depth, will not.
however, be drained dry, but will re-
cede to some distance from its present
shore. This. while apparently leaving
Chicago an inland city, will merely
provide it more ground over which to
spread to the eastward. and will sup
ply long-felt want As it is not pos
sible, however, that this event can oc-
cur within the next two hundred and
fifty thousand years, there will be am
pie time for future generations to make
such preparations to meet it as may
appear advisable under the circum-
stances. Chicago Journal.

HOW TO AVOID SCARS.
A Physlcian Shows How . Little Casl
VIII Effect Their Removal.

A Physician Shows How . Little Gaze
VIII Effect Their Removal.
Scars are always unsightly. and are
often painful or inconvenient on ac-
count of their propensity to contract as
they become older. DR.. Ward. of New
York, asserts that they may be removed
by manipulation, which he directs to
be employed as follows: Place the ends
Of two or three fingers on 4 scar if it be
small one, and on the margin if it be
large, and vibrate the surface on the
tissues beneath. The surface itself is
not to be subjected to any friction; all
the motion must be between the inteou-
ment and the deeper parts. The loca-
ton of the vibratile motion should be
changed every ten or fifteen seconds
until the whole scar has been treated,
ii it be of moderate size. If the scar be
the result of a large scald or burn, the
margin only should be treated at first;
the advances toward the center should
be deferred until the nutrition of the
margins has been decidedly improved.
Only little treatment should be ap-
piled to any one spot at the same time,
but the vibrations should be repeated
as many as twenty times q day, but
never with sufficient frequency or Sc
verify to cause pain. If the scar be-
comes irritable suspend treatment until
it subsidies. In the course or two or
three weeks of faithful treatment the
surface of the scars of moderate size
becomes more movable and will begin
to form wrinkles like new skin when
pressed from side to side. all these
changes are due to improved nutrition,
consequent on better blood circulation
the development of entirely new sets
of blood in the cicatrical tissue
