How q Fish Sees.

The medium in which fresh-water
fishes live gives them a chance to see a
distance only in the horizontal direction,
and the proper adjustment OF the eye
would make, under usual conditions, the
optical axis take this direction. To me it
seems impossible to explain the constant
revolution of the eyeball on any other
hypothesis except that given, viz: That
the optical axis extends forward instead
of sidewise.
When fish wishes to eat anything,
either at the bottom of the pond OF at the
surface Of the water, it swims directly
toward the object; and in this case the eyes
are Instantly adjusted in line with the
body, so as to bring the image of the
particle desired upon the posterior por-
ton Of the retina. In this case they lose
their usual horizontal position.
II fish wishes to turn to the right or
left in the water, the first movement is
that of the eyes in unison with the direc-
ton of the turning. This would be en-
tirely unnecessary if the apparent axis
was the axis of most distinct vision, as
one Of the eyes would see all that was to
be seen in the side of the turning After
this movement of the eyes, the BODY
turns enough to bring the eyes into their
normal position; then there is again q
movement of the eyes, and next a move
ment of the body. This causes a peculiar
jerking motion of the eyeballs during the
whole time of the turning of the body.

CHARLES DICKENS HUMoR.
Mr.. Pickwick as a Rival to Shak
Speare'S FalStaff.

SIlSeAI0 AalSlhhs
We need not enter into the eternal
scholastic exercise about wit and fun and
humor, with their respective meanings
and respective limitations. Charles Dick
ems simply bubbles over with all three of
OF them, blended in fashion OF his own,
OF which mono may distinguish tho
boundaries. In his own true vein he
sees everything from the comic side, and
can make comedy out of anything, as
lmpartially as his own historical sausage
machine could coin s2uSageS out OF babies
and paving stones. He is always ready
with ludicrous association, and in the
neldS OF humor he can meet Shakespeare
himself with Shakespeare's choicest
weapons. Falstaff and his companions
might have been an indispensable asso-
citation, if Mr.. Pickwick and his had not
rivaled them. The difference, if differ
ence there be, is that whereas with the
poet the central figure is the greatest,
with Dickens he is the least. Bardolph
u Co. were but the satellites of Sir John.
But the hero of Goswel street himself
has about him a little too much of the
butt to please us, while Wrinkle and Tup-
man and Snodgrass are separate and dis
tnctive joys forever. And the humors
OF Sam Weller-pGtre pNtchrO, fttuS
putchrior-verbal or practical, spontane-
Gus or hereditary, must make him per-
manent head boy in that immortal Eng
l1sh class which comprises in its ranks
such demigods of the ridiculous as Dog
berry the Waterman and Bottom the
weaver. If as a people we are distin-
guished for our sadness, let us be
thankful that we have produced such
types and appreciated them. Here, at
all events. are not Scotch even, not Irish,
but English, duh and simple. In these

THE COUNTY ExHIBIrs.

An Elegant Display-Worthy to Rep
resent California at Chicago.
There is three-fold design in exhibit
ing as counties. One is to show the pro-
ductive capacity of the section and its
desirability as home; another, to train
our citizens, by competition, in the art of
making the kind of display likely to at
tract the immigration that all counties
need. a third is to advertise and
seek markets for our products. Anyone
visiting the magnificent and elaborate
displays at the Pavilion, and comparing
them with what was done years ago, will
be convinced that our efforts have been
pro6tably directed. This was all pre-
paratory training for the Worlds Fair,
and will enable us to make such q dis
play there that those who visit Chicago
viii return ooubly enthusiastic Califor-
mans.
Sacramento has very elaborate dis
play that no outside county could be ex-
pected to rival, and had for many years
adopted the policy of refraining from
competition for county exhibits. Every
citizen who visits the fair may well feel

The past week has been a sad one
to Robert and Hlla G. Wallace, they
having had to part with their little son
Harvey. aged two years and eight
months, his Heavenly Father having
taken him from earth to heaven on the
afternoon of Tuesday, the Nth day Of
October. The cause of death was blood
poisoning, but it is not definitely
known what caused the poisoning.
The doctor from Harrison, who was
with the child on Monday night and
Tuesday morning. was of the opinion
it was caused by eating poisonous
berries or weeds Of some kind. The
child suffered a great deal until set
free by death. The parents have the
sympathy Of the neighborhood in their
sad affection.
The past week is also one long to he
remembered by the inhabitants Of
Indian Creek in and around Eckard, as
the first sod was turned towards the
setting aside of a grave yard to bury
the dead.
On Tuesday night, Wednesday and
Wednesday night of last week we had
a splendid rain. There was good two
inches Of rain fell and last night we
had another fine rain. The ground is
now in excellent condition for fall
blowing, and for fruit trees and small
fruit plants Of all kinds, the prospects
are bright.
