Habits of Wild Ducks.

At the PERIOD of incubation ducks
make their nests whenever the desire to
deposit the first egg comes upon them.
If they have neglected to provide suit
able retreat, it is too late to mend mat
ters. Since then have passed and re-
passed the spot, and have seen the eggs
handled frequently, but for all that
Madame Duck does not desert her rocky
home. Jock suggests that go to his
camp, three miles distant, for dinner.
On the way we cross an immense marshy
fiat, and in the middle of this is a beau
tiful spring, some eight yards in diane
ter. The water is fairly blue, icy cold,
and no bottom. can be seen at the centre,
but about the edge, where the water is
from one to ten feet deep, are massive
rocks that are fantastically draped with
aquatic moses and alge so that 1t seems
like looking down into fairyland. The
waters of this spring run for quarter of
O mile and then sink to reappear mile
away, bursting into the creek from crew
ices in the volcanic rock. The swamp
is a great breeding place for teal, and
three or four ducks with their young
broods arc swimming in the miniature
lake. As we burst upon the scene one
duck flies off, but the rest stay to conceal
their young. How do they do itl Bring
them in to shallow water, where they can
rest upon the bottom and stick their
bills up through the moss. Thea the
old ones swim out into deep water and
resort to the same tactics. We drive
the ducklings from their place of con-
cealment and they swim out to their pa
rents with half OF their bodies exposed.
Though the moss is just as inviting they
will not hide where they cannot feel
bottom and their mothers bring them
back to shore. Young ducks can dive,
but have not the power Of remaining be-
meath the water for any length of time
until they can make strong fight, The
power of remaining beneath the water is
acquired by practice and is not innate

Heavy Moads.

There are 413 species of trees found
within the limits Of the United States
and Territories, sixteen OF which, when
perfectly seasoned, will sink in water.
The heaviest OF these Is the black IRON
wood (Condalia ferrea), found only in
Southern Florida, which is more than
thirty per cent. heavier than water. OF
the other fifteen, the best known are the
lignum vita (Guaiacnm sanctum) aud
the mangrove (Rhizophora mangle).
Texas and New Mexico lScls, full Of
queer, creeping, crawling, walking, and
inanimate things, are the homes of a
species of oak (Quercus grisea) which is
about ono and one-fourth times heavier
than water, aud which, when green, will
sink almost as quickly as bar Of iron.
1t grows only in mountain regions, and
has been found westward as far as the
Colorado desert, where it grows at an
elevation Of 10000 fee..

Fireless Nations.

According to Pliny, fire was a long
time unknown to some of the ancient
Egyptian tribes, and when celebrated
astronomer made them acquainted with
that element aud how to produce it,
they were wild with delight. The Per-
slams, PhGnicians, Greeks and several
other nations acknowledge that their an
cestors were once without the comforts
which fire bestows; the Chinese confess
the same of their progenitors. Ponpan-
ion, Mola, Plutarch and other ancient
writers speak of natious which, at the
time when they wrote, knew not the use
of fire, or had just recently learned it.
The inhabitants Of the Marian Islands,
which were discovered in 1851, had no
idea of fire or its uses. Their astonish-
meut knew no bounds when they saw it,
applied to wood; most of them taking it
to be some kind OF animal which the
sailors had brought with them, and
which must be fed on wood.-BOstOa

by that time, aud l knew the poor girl
was if anything worse off. We talked
in low tones of the good things we had
eaten and the springs we had drunk from,
and we kept our heads constantly wet
with the salt water to alleviate our thirst
as far as it could. At o'clock or sooa
after the men awoke aud called to me.
They wanted to kill the girl and drink
her blood and eat her flesh. l reasoned
with them and told two or three deliber-
ate falsehoods, aud finally prevailed up
on them to wait another day. felt they

She had picked up our boat the day be-
fore. In it were two living skeletons
the girl and l. We were alone, and
there we're two bloodstained knives on
the bottom of the boat to deepen the
mystery. The girl pulled through as
well as myself, but there was no after
romance. She thanked me over and over
again with tears in her eyes, but there
was no love. She was lady bred and
born, and 1 only poor sailor lad.-NeU

Pictures Of Running Water.

If we ask person who has not thought
about the matter to represent with a
pencil, from memory, n stream or fall of
water, in nine cases out OF tea he will
return the paper after having timidly
ventured upon a few parallel scratches,
looking as much as anything else like
the ruts iu road or the hairs OF n horses
tail. Yet we see liquids every dag aoS-
ing along the gutter, anl from bottles
or pitchersi aud we have all playei
ucar brooks aud cascades. The persons
who trace the parallel lines we have
spoken of suppose they are representing
the path travelled by the particles OF
water-that is, movement, au inmI-
terial thing which by its very nature
defes all graphic representation. 1t is
true that luminous point in very rapid
motion leaves on tho retina the impres-
sion of a line. We are thus authorized
to represent flash of lightnin :, thc
course of a shell, and a gunshot; but we
hesitate to resort to that arti6ce to repre-
sent the fight of au arrow through tho
air or the movement OF a sword to strike.
Il will be we'll to make oaly a moderate
use of it in representing water. Iu fact,
these parallel lines do not exist, at least
not under that form. Furthermore, lines
do not show whether the stream is going
10 the right or TO the left, or vice versa.

A Japanese Dinner.

A grand dinner party in Japan is
very formidable thing indeed. Accord
ing to Sir Edwin Arnold, the guests are
surrounded by twenty or thirty dishes, of
which you mag partake as often as you
please, and just when you please. You
may leave of and chat, he says, and be-
gin at the beginning again If you like.
Even after every one has had enough,
tho substantial part OF the meal only
commences-for the japanese. The wine
is removed and big white tub is
brought in filed with hot, boiled rice.
Along with it fresh tea arrives once
more, aud then each native guests will
cat two bowls Of rice, and then another
soaked with ties. 1t is hard to see where
the enjoyment comes in.
