A Fish with Screw Propeller Tail

The strangest creature ever seen in
these waters was captured in the Delaware
River at Burlington yesterday morning by
Charles Wooden and Charles Adams
while they were fishing for shad. 1t is
about six feet long, with large head
shaped like n bulldogs and an immense
mouth furnished with two rows of sharp
tceth. The head is attached to the body
oy long sinuous neck, and the small
and deep sunkcn eyes are projected by
long lashes. The body, which gradually
tapers to the tail, is covered by Il short
fine fur, and two short imperfcctly
formed legs, with wcbbcd feet like
those of duck, are attached just below
the neck. The tail is peculiarly formed,
having four blades exactly like the screws
of a propeller. The strange creature was
captured with difficulty. 1t fought hard,
and, uttering noise that was half hiss,
half bark, it seized an oar in its mouth
and crunched it to splinters. A strange
odor resembling musk was emitted. Re-
peated blows of q Ratchet disabled the
animal and enabled its capture. -Paila-

Paper From Sugar Game.

The Rerue Scicmifquc states that it has
long been known that the stalks Of the
sugar cane might be used in the produc.
ton of Il paper of the best quality. 1t is,
therefore, surprising that, with the con
slant decline in the value of sugar. owing
TO ovcrproduction, and the steadily in.
creasing price of paper, it has never oc-
cured to sugar planters to embark in the
manufacture OF paper us a supplement to
sugar producing. The iibrcs of the cane
give an excellent paper, and the necessary
mechanical and chemical processes are
easily carried ont. A correspondent of
the French National Accumulation So.
ciety reports that Mr.. Walter Forbes, of
New Orleans, has lately exhibited there II
dozen samples of white paper made from
the sugar cane, which were pronounced
very good. The first quality cost twenty
one francs per 100 Kilograms 300, 900
kilos of the stalk would produce 10, 900
kilos of paper, worth POO francs The
Rerue Scientifque concludes by recon-
mending the planters in the French sugar
producing colonies to introduce paper
making.

What a Pound of Wool will Yield.

1t has been fairly tested that this weight
Of wool can furnish in fine yarn eighty
four thousand yards, lacking but eighty
yards to complete forty-eight miles. This
at the timc-more than one hundred
years ago-was regarded as triumph OF
skill, and it was said by more than score
of mistresses in the art of spinning that
the worthy dame of East Dereham, Nor
folk, could not be beat. This was con-
sidered so great a curiosity that the Royal
Society of England did not hesitate to
make honorable record of it. 1.
Since then, however, another lady s'has
spun Il pound of combed wool into
thread of one hundred and sixty eight
thousand yards; and more than this was
her success of producing thread two
hundred and three thousand yards long
from the same weight of cotton. Her
ball unrolled would measure one hundred
and fifteen miles. If this ball of cottao
thread had been woven it would haya
made twenty yards of muslin one yard in
width"

The Papuans of Borueo.

British North Borneo is sort of cx
pertinent being conducted by an English
company with an imperial charter, that
has leased or purchased about hundred
thousand square miles of territory, and
is colonizing Chinese and any other
nationality that will take bait. There is
at the bottom of the whole system moth
ing but force and fraud, and eventually
this will have to be recognized. The
Papuans of Borneo are an interesting
and bushy-haired people, with minimum
of clothes They wear combs about yard
long in their hair-mops, and sometimes
they stick feathers in these combs. They
are all spiritualists, and make kind OF
wooden images which are for the spirits
OF the dead to occupy when they revisit
the pale glimpses of the moon. The
Papuans have an unsavory practice of
drying their dead over the fire in their
dwellings, the resulting odor being cal
culatcd to disturb the cquanimity of
strangers. Like many other islanders in
these seas, the Papuans have liking for
building over the water. The South
Seas are full of towns on the pattern of
the old Swiss lake-dwellings, and some
of these aquatic towns possess considcra-
BILE populations, and are rs watcry as
Venice, or even more so, inasmuch us
some of them actually hold their markets
entirely in canoes.-Neio York Tribune
