boats which can be rowed even against the

The French naturalist, Bonpland, no.
ticed that sea turtles get restless in captiv-

ents used to begin their annual migration
to the breeding grounds, and for similar
reasons the nomads of modern civilization
may prefer the hardships of vagrancy to
the comforts of indoor life. The fact is
that at least half the inhabitants of Europe

nations who were incurably addicted to
adventure trips, and at the beginning of

A Strange Case of Hibern.tion,

The strongest case Of Information that
know has been related to me by DR.. Fergu-
son, the pathologist of New York hospital
In one of the small tanks belonging to the
hospital museum carp of particular de-
scription had been placed. One very cold
night the water where the fish WAS kept
was frozen through, ard the fish embedded
in it. The caretaker took the ice from the
vessel and placed it on top of an ash barrel
where rubbish was put away. The cylinder
of ice remained where it was put for
couple Of months, till the hot spring sun
one day melted it down to the place where
the fish was frozen. Some attache of the
hospital then was surprised to notice fish
wiggling in piece Of ice. The carp had
survived his Imprisonment, passed the
period Of Information and resumed his old
activity. = Edmund Collins in Harper's
Young People.
