Oddities About Fish.

Though no sharp line Of separa-
ton can be drawn, marine fish
are roughly divided, for convenience,
into three categories. Shore fish,
those which habitually frequent
coast lines, and rarely, if ever, de-
scend to a greater depth than 300
fathoms; pelagic fishes, those which
inhabit the open sea, and the curl
Gus deep-sea forms, which live at an
enormous depth and sport around
where the influence of light and
surface of temperature are never
felt. Heilprin tells us that the first
class, the shore fishes, is composed
of about $500 species. Theirnorth-
ern range extends to or even beyond
the eighty-third parallel of latitude.
Even this is a strange and unac-
countable freak in the finny deni-
zens of the deep, for in the South
ern Hemisphere, they are not known
to go beyond the sixtieth parallel.
In the different zones these fishes
are largely identical in both the At
lantic and Pacific basins, as well as
on the opposite sides of these great
''ocean sinks" Tropical waters, as
one would naturally suppose, pro-
duce a greater abundance and wider
range of forms than those Of tenn
perate regions. The same may also
be said of the reefs in the Indian
Ocean, in the near vicinity of which
may be found a greater number Of
species and a wider diversity in form
than in the whole of the Atlantic
basin. The pelagic or open-sea
types are very limited in number.
They diminish rapidly from the
Equator, both north and south, be-
ing rarely found beyond the fortieth
parallels. OF those remarkable
forms, the deep-sea fishes, fifty
species inhabit the ocean at depth
of 900 fathoms; twenty-six species
range between 1000 and 1000 faith
oms, and only nine forms are known
to inhabit that portion of water that
is over $500 fathoms in depth.

"Dearie's" Innocent Prattle,

An exceedingly pretty and grace
full young woman and a little girl
of, perhaps, five years of age, board
ed a fremont street electric yester-
day afternoon, and, the car being
nearly empty, walked up to the for
ward end and took seat where the
young miss could watch the motor
man twist and untwist the brake
and turn on and off the electric cur
rent.
She watched him with the deep
est interest for a long time, and
when the car started without the
aid of horses, or any visible signs Of
power, she became deeply perplex-
ed.
Mamma she said, what makes
this car go?"
"This is an electric, dearie. Elec-
tricity makes it CO."
"Mamma," said the little girl
after a long silence. 1--WE learn
more'n more every day, don't we?'
"Yes, DEAR" mamma answered,
with a far-away look in her eyes.
did you pass that bad quarter
on the conductor?" dearied queried,
after that individual had just gone
by, collecting the fares. Every
person in the car heard her and tried
hard not to smile. Papa said if
the conductor wouldn't take it you
could pass it into the contribution
box next Sunday. Could you do
that, mamma?"
Mamma signaled the conductor
just then. AS they were getting
off dearie was telling mamma that
those three red-haired women were
awfully homely, and when the car
started off again the red-haired wom-
on blushed even redder than their
hair, and strange, indefnable con-
straint pervaded the car until the
last red-haired woman had got off,
which was somewhere near the end
of the route.-Boston Herald.

Joe Harden, who stood beside me,
was in his shirt sleeves, and upon
my advising him to put his jacket
on, he said: "Oh, yes; left it on
the poop and he went aft to get
it. In a moment he came running
back shouting: "Hold on, carpen-
ter; I've found out where the fire
is. It's in my jacket pocket!"
By this time everyone on board
had collected about the boody hatch,
and Joe explained:
"When the second mate sung out
to clew up the r'yals, was smok-
ing, so | jest clapped my pipe in
my pocket. Then when jumped
up to furl the mizzen r'yal, ! pulled
off my jacket and throwed it down
alon' side the starboard ventilator;
and to the mate) that's why you
smelt the fire SO strong when
you went there and thought
it was down below. After come
down, | forgot to take the jacket,
and you see the pipe set the pocket
afire, and burnt the hull linin' out
and came through the cloth in two
or three places"
Joe held up the jacket for inspec-
tion. The whole internal arrange
ment" had smouldered away, and
being woolen lined and thickly
padded, no wonder it made such a
'villainous smell of burnt rags"
dip it into the wash-deck tub"
said the captain. "I've a good
mind to make you throw it over
board. You deserve to lose your
jacket, you careless scamp. Now,
men, don't let me know of your
ever putting lighted pipes in your
pockets again; if you do you'll
catch it, that's all! and he march,
ed off below.
Seeing the affair had terminated
so ridiculously, everybody felt at
liberty to make little sport out of
it, and amid shouts of laughter the
hatch was again battened down,
and the deck cleared up; and when
eight bells struck, the persons who
had been the most excited turned
in, and went to sleep as calmly as
if nothing unusual had happened.

entered, and, after some preliminary talk,
asked Burns to go on the outside with
them. Although somewhat under the in

enough to decline the invitation. Shortly
afterward he went out of the house by q
rear entrance, and there, in a passageway,
was set upon by the two men. who had
followed him. One struck Burns in the
face with his fist, and as he grappIed with
his assailant he was hit from behind on
the top of the head with some hard object,
which he thinks was bottle.
Although badly dazed, Burns retained
consciousness sufficiently to cry out for
aid. The cry brought Officer Stewart
Leckie to the spot, and he discovered the
