A WEED THAT EATS FISH.
4 Remarkable Instance of a Plant Which
 Is Carniverous.

4 Remarkable Instance of a Plant Which
 Is Carniverous.
 Commander Alfred Carpenter, writing from SualSin, Red sea country, contrib utes the following remarkable instance of plant preying upon one of the yer tebrata. The instance noted was ob- served by him when surveying Paracel islands, in the South China sea. "* As neared a pool cut off by the tide from the sea 1 noticed among other sub marine plants a very ordinary looking flesh-colored weed.
 Blending to inspect it closer l no- ticed numbers of small fish lying help lessly in its fronds, apparently with lit tie or no life in them. Putting my hand down to pick one of them up l found my fingers caught by suckers on the weed, the fronds of which had closed tightly upon them. The fish had been caught in every conceivable way-by the head, the tail, sides, etc, and some of them had been held until the skin was completely macerated. Those of the fish that were still living had evi- dently been caught at different times, they appearing in all stages of exhaus- tion. I regret being unable to name either the plant or the fish, but that the botanical cannibal really preyed upon the finny denizens of the deep there isn't the least doubt"

over a field with scattered trees. One of them, who measures feet high with his hat on, stands at the foot of the tree The other takes his position scv- eral rods distant, and holds out his open hand at arms length, SO that hIs four fingers shall cover the man at the tree. Then he moves his hand upward on the face of the tree to thc top of the mans hat, thus giving l2 feet high, Then an- other move and he has IS feet, then 24, and so on, till the whole tree is meas ured to the top. A little practice will enable him tD make such measurements rapidly and with considerable accuracy. not more than a aingle minute or two being required for any tree, or for the height of the clear trunk up to the branches, when valuable timber is under examination,
 Another mode is to measure the shadow. This may be easily done if the ground is level, and the tree casts a clear shadow by sunlight. Measure the shadow, and then. holding a measured pole erect, observe the proportion of the shadow to thr pole and calculate the height of the tree accordingly, by sim pie arithmetic. If the shadow is equal to the height, no calculation is neccs- sary; if the shadow is twice the pole, then divide the shadow of the tree by two; and so on, for any other length. Country Gentleman.

AUCTION.

photographs taken by the electric spark of soap bubbles in the act of bursting, and explained the process by which it is possible to to ascertain the respective speed at which different soap bubbles burst. One photograph showed an issue of liquid from a very small pipe, which to the naked eye appeared to be per feet stream, but which, on an electric photograph being taken, was resolved into beautiful and regular series of drops. In connection with this Prof
 Boys remarked that the science of liquids and of the forces involved in the phenomena of the surface of liquids was one of the most interesting branches of physical science. The effect on a foun- tain of playing or singing was to change its appearance into one, two or three apparently separate, clear streams of liquid, but a photograph taken as a tuning fork was struck dem onstrated that the water was disposed in drops in perfect regularity. Apicture of rifle bullet passing through the air at the rate of 2,OOO feet second was also exhibited. Prof Boys, however, showed that if it were wished to inves- tigate what was really happening when n rifle bullet was being projected through the air at the maximum possi- ble speed, it would be necessary to have recourse to a method of illumination in- iinitcly more rapid than the electric spark For this purpose a mirror of steel about the size of twenty-five cent piece is now used. It is so mounted as to rcvOlyc with ease without getting hot at the enormous speed of l,0OO times a second and the end of the beam of
 ight given off from this mirror passes across the screen at such a rate that it enables photographs to be taken in about one ten-millionth of a second.

may be easily determined by simple ap- pliances, when they have reached an altitude too great to be measured from the ground with a pole, Among these are the following:
 Place a 1O-foot pole upright against the foot of the tree, and then walk away from the tree to such a distance from it as may be convenient for the operation, and hold a pocket rule up- right in the hand at arms length, so that the rule tor any portion of it) shall coincide in view with the pole against the tree-Fig. 1. Suppose that inch on the rule, held out at arms length, just covers the pole. An inch will thus be 10 feet on the tree Observe how many inches measure on the rule to the top of the tree. Suppose that it requires inches on the rule; then 50 feet is the height of the tree. If the work is properly done, the measurement need not vary foot from the real height. The ground need not be smooth or level; all that is needed is that the loot and topof the tree be both in view. If the measure is 10 inches on the rule, then the tree is 100 feet high. If 71l inches, the height is 75 feet.
 Some allowance must be made where the tree is tall and the distance from it is small, for the oblique view, which if extreme, would give a diminished meas urement It is therefore necessary to stand at a considerable distance from the tree in making the observation, if 1t is tall
 A ready and more rapid mode of meas airing, but rather less accurate, may be employed when the approximate height is all that is required. It consists in using the fingers of the hand instead of the pocket rule, and with a man to stand at the tree. instead of placing the upright pole-Fig. 2.

One dog commenced to bark, then another and another followed suit. The guide told me I must put on my hat, as the dogs had recognized that was a for eigner and that they were evidently dis pleased at my attempt to go through their principality in my shirt sleeves. I took the advice of the guide and the howl of the dogs ceased.

DOGS IN THE TURKISH CAPITAL.
Have No Special Owners and Live In
 Groups of Six to Ten.

Have No Special Owners and Live In
 Groups of Six to Ten.
 The dogs of Constantinople form a class of as much importance as other Asiatic races, says a correspondent of the Church Union. The Europeans have used their influence, backed by money, to destroy these dogs, either by killing or banishing them; but the Turhs-from the humblest servant, who divides his crust with them, to the inn perial sultan, who has them fed from his palace-shows an affection for them which is surprising. The dogs live in communities of six, eight or ten, and each set appropriates to itself certain section of from one to three squares. The most intelligent dog seems to be the president or commander of the group.
 They are very friendly with all the inhabitants who live Tn their special locality, while they show no recognition to those who pass their highway if they do not reside there, They guard their ground and do not allow any other dog to intrudc. I noticed one stray dog which came around the corner, thereby infringing on the other dogs territory; he was attacked at once, and ba rely cs- capped with his life.
 These dogs have no especial owner each block or square having it's own group of dogs. They seem to know every man, woman and child who lives

1t Contained the Names of Deputies VIII
Took PanAma Money.
PARIS, Jan. 1s.--Ths hrst witness before
the parliamentary commission of inquiry
to-day was M. Stephane, clark in the ser
vioe of Baron de Reinaoh's partner. M.
Proper. He said Baron de keinach left
him a list Of persons compromised in the
distribution Of Panama money. Among
those named ON the list were Arene. Devss,
Grevy. Roche, Dugue de La Fouoonnier.
Rouvier, Floqust, Proust, Rsnault. Barbs,
Berall and Thavenet. Several names were
re peated on the list and indicated that they
received Panama money more than once.
The whole list contained the names of over
100 deputies who had been beneficiaries OF
the Panama fund. The sums paid these
men varied between 1000 and 100000 francs
each. M. stephsne said he gave the list TO
NJ. Clemsnoeau, who. he thought could
make the best use of it.
Considerable questioning on the part OF
Chairman Brisson elected man additional
facts which show that NJ. Stephape hau In
his possession a list similar to the one pho
togFapbed for M. Andrieu1. M. stephane
was requested to wait in the COMMITTEES
room while NJ. Clenenceau was being sum-
moned from the chamber. Five minutes
later Clsmencsau arrived. He denied en-
phsticAlly hat he ever received a list OF
compromised deputies from anybody. lie
had not even heard Of such q list from
Baron de Reinach or anybody connected
with him in business. NJ. Stephane was
then recalled and repeated his former testi-
mouy without va iation. directly contra.
dieting everything NJ. Clemenceau said.
A Paris Paper says the police have founc
300 checks paid by Nj. Arton, the Panams
