Brilliantly CoIored Fish.

The bottom Of the ocean is magnifi-
cent with its starfish and sea pad; some
in rich purple and shedding a soft
golden green light, while others send
out silver flashes, and the lamp fish car
ries on its head at night golden light.
Another fish seems to be decorated with
pearls, and it is evidently the fashion
there to be brilliant in some way. Even
crabs in hot climates seem to set them
selves on fire, and when captured and
teased they blaze all over with indigna-
ton.
A species of the shark, too, is intense
ly brilliant at night, and one that was
drawn up shone like a splendid lamp for
some hours after it was dead. Natural
lists have long been at work on this
curious subject, and the source of the
illuminating power is supposed to be
contained in little sacks or cells in the
body Of the animal.-Harper's Young
People.

The "King of Switzerland" !"

A gentleman stylishly dressed called
the other day at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing at the Office of NJ. Duranton. the
police magistrate, and on being shown
in said to that official:
al am the king of Switzerland in per-
son. Come, now, prostrate yourself be-
fore Paul /, the king of all the Helve-
tias."
Finding that his interviewer was
wrong in his head, the commissaiie
made bow, saying:
II will see that your majesty is con-
Quoted to his palace. Your suite will
be here shortly to accompany you"
Taking from his pocket an old shoe
lace, to which was suspended the lid Z
sardine box, the lunatic proceeded
