live several days out of the water. When
an eel is drawn from the water and laid
upon the earth Ii at once puffs out its
cheeks in a very noticeable manner.
These cheeks are formed of distensible
pouches or sacs covering the gills, which
the eel fills with water in order that the
gill-fbers may be kept moist, by which
means he is enable to remain upon the
dry land for considerable time without
coming to serious harm. So, when the
pond where the eel makes his home begins
to get dry, he takes In q good supply OF
water and starts Of to find another;
moving like snake in an apparently
sinuous course, but really in surprisingly
straight line, for the piece of water he
wishes to reach, whose direction he
seems, by some curious instinct. to know
The Anabas Scandens, or climbing
perch Of India, is perhaps, the most cele-
brated OF any fish which voluntarily
comes on shore, as he certainly is the
most accomplished in terrestrial feats.
He is a little fellow, very like a perch in
the general form, with large scales aud
spiny dorsal fin, and is to be found in
rivers and ponds in most parts OF the
East Indies. When the waters which he
inhabits seem in danger OF being dried
up, he leaves them and travels off in
search of others. Though he perfers to
make these Journeys at night, or in the
early morning, while the dew still lies
upon the grass, he often travels by day,
and has even been meet toiling along a
hot, dusty g1avel-road, under the full
glare of an Indian midday sun. It is
however, for his climbing powers that
n f1.b is oil
others that frequent the land. By the
aid of his spiny gilI-covers and tail fin,
which he pushes into the crevices in their
bark, he manages to climb trees and even
tall palm-trees. That ne does it awkwardly
is true, moving somewhat after the man
ner of a measuring or looping caterpillar;
but the fact that he can accom- plish it at
all is as marvellous as his object III
attempting the feat is inexplicable
Boatmen upon the Gauges and other
rivers where these climbing perch abound
catch them and put them in earthen pots,
keep them alive without any water often
as many as six days, killing them as they
wish to use them, and find them during
the whole time as lively as when newly
caught.
The common perch of our own waters,
while unable to climb trees or even to
walk ABOUT the fields, is possessed of
great tenacity of life after being taken
from the water. When given a blanket
of wet moss it can be carried in apparent
comfort for long distances, and in some
parts of Europe the fishermen will offer
these perch for sale during the day, and
if not successful IN disposing of them
will replace them at night ia the ponds
from which they were taben in the morn
ing, seemingly none the worse for their
OUtiup

INDUSTRIAL SUMMARY

American mill machinery is generally
regarded as superior to that of Englar a
on the ground of its greater lightne %
and durability.
An excellent cement for use on mater
ials exposed to moisture is composed of
one part India-rubber in twelve parts
naptha, with twenty parts powdered gum
shellac.
The ivory product of one elephant . )
12O pounds, the value of which is about
three hundred dollars. England yearly
CONSUMES $50 tons, the product of $4,000
elephants.
The manufacture of carpets from the
fiber of pine leaves promises to become a
thriving industry. 1t is good substitute
for iute and fax, and bears a close re-
semblance to yarn.
Paper window glass is now said to be
an assured fact. AS described: "a win
dow pane is made of white paper, manu-
featured from cotton or linen, and modi-
fed by chemical action. Afterward the
paper is dipped in preparation of cam
phor and alcohol, which makes il like
parchment. From this point it can be
moulded and cut into remarkable tough
sheets entirely transparent, and it can be
dyed with almost the whole of the aniline
colors, the result being a transparent
sheet, showing far more vivid hues than
the best glass exhibits"
The old gambler had no respect for the
value OF money. Dollars were mere play
things to him, and he wagered a fortune
with as much Indifference as an amateur
wagers beans. He gambled with one foot
in the grave. Though i'll and almost des-
titute he visited his old haunts until two
weeks before his death, "bucking the
tiger" with his last cent. He paid his
debts with scrupulous promptness. At

last. he did not owe q dollar

As to the financial operations of the
Union Pacific company the commission
refers to the manage gent of Mr.. Gould
and MS directors In undertaking to re-
lease themselves from liability and obi
cation by their own acts and rates as
SOMEWHAT EXTRAORDINARY"
The report deals quite extensively with
the operations of Mr.. Gould in purchas-
ing the Missouri Pacific, the Kansas
Central. and the Central Branch Union
Pacific with the view of constructing
load from st. Louis to the Pacific. The
methods employed by him to terrify di-
rectors to a submission to his plans are
discussed in manner not in Mr.. Goulds
credit as reputable railway manager.
AS contrast to such management the
commission refers to the conservative.
energetic and intelligent management
which has characterized tae admin
istration of the Union Pacific railway
from the spring of 1884 to the present
time," the commissioners have gone into
the management of the Central Pacific
COMPANY with great hinuteness and
severe criticism.
As an evidence of the Huntington man
6uJ the COsb OF Inc CenGrdI fdc1uC Is
given at $12O,872 529 when the commits
sion found it was 58,3O1 ,931 having pro-
fit of 60 100000 which was paid so Stan
ford, Huntington, Hopkins and Crocker
being voted TO them by their own votes.
Other similar transactions are given.
As to the Souix City and Pacific com
pany the commission found no construc-
ton books or vouchers in existence from
which the cost of construction could be
ascertained. But the action of the COM
missioners in dividing among themselves
the first mortgage bonds of the road is
characterized as a wanton isolation of
the law. The commission report that the
requirements of assessing stockholders
upon their stock until the par value should
be fully paid has not been kept, that the
requirements of first-class roads have al
so not been kept that the requirement to
construct telegraph lines has not been
kept: that the obligations for carrying
troops and the mails have been observed
and that no dividends of any of the bond
aided Dads have ever been paid in vio-
latlon of law. The commission finds,
while there is no proof of actual bribery,
that money and passes have been used by
officials of the Union Pacific com pany for
Influencing legislation.
The bill proposed by the commission
is designed to remedy the evils mentioned
above. But it is probable the corpora
tions control too many congressman to
to allow it to pass.

FISH OUT OF WATER.

Some Remarkable Members of the Family
Climbing Trees and Walking on Land
Swiss Cross.
Many kinds of fish build nests in the
water for the protection of their eggs,
but the doras make theirs upon the beach.
This they do at the beginning of the
rainy season. The nest is formed very
nearly like that of bird and is built of
dry leaves, which the little creature goes
inland to fetch. When it is finished the
eggs are deposited within, and these
small fish-parents cover up their embryo
offspring most carefully and watch over
them with great solicitude. The common
eel is known 80 have a similar habit of
moving about on the land, and will even

deducting the amount of bonds held by
the government and the sinking fund.
The commission propose mortgage
under which the com Pany should pay the
government 81, 726 585, annually for ten
years and after that the sum of $1,973,
240 annually until the debt Is paid. fhe
bills submitted by the commission differ
from any pending egislation-frst, in
the method of computing present value
of Indebtedness; second, they direct the
discount to be computed ct 3 per cent.
compounded: third, they add mortgage
to the statutory lien: fourth, they pro-
vide for a sim pier bond: fifth, give wide
range in the investment of the sinking
fund; sixth, they forbid the declaring of
dividends except from the earnings OF
the fiscal year, and these only after the
requirements of the government have
been met; seventh. they require the com
pan1es to institute suits against officers
for the misrepresentation of the com
pany's funds; eighth, they AIMED the
Thurman act so as to apply TO the exist

show the amount of bonds and the quaint

form have become trade mark, and the
good he has done is illustrated in the follow
ing marvellous instance: Jan. II, 1888,
George C. Osgood & Co., druggists, Lowell,
Mass, wrote: "Mr. Lewis Dennis, No. 1876
Moody ST., desires to recommend st. Jacobs
Oil to any afflicted with rheumatism, and
desires especially to say that Orrin Robinson,
of Granville, Mass, boy Of II years. came
to his house IN, the summer Of 1881 walking
upon crutches, his left leg having been bent
at the knee for over two months and could
not be bent back. He could not walk upon
it. Mr.. Dennis had some st. Jacobs Oil in
the house and gave it to him to rub on his
knee. In six days he had no use for his
crutches and went home well without them
and he has been we'll since St. Jacobs Oil cured
him" In July, 1887, inquiry was made Of the
Messrs. Osgood TO ascertain the condition of
the little cripple, which brought the follow
ing response: Lowell Mass, July 0, 1851
The poor cripple on crutches, Orrin Robin
son, cured by st. Jacobs Oil in 1881, has re-
manned cured. The young man has been
and is now at work every day at manual
labor. DR.. George C. Osgood, NJ. D." No
other remedy can make the same showing.
