A Recent Discovery Gives Key to an

The existence of a maze or labyrinth
at Gnossus. Crete, is borne out by the
legend of Thescus staying the Minotaur
in its heart by the help of Ariadnc,
who gave him thread to pay out be-
hind him as q clcw, in penetrating it's
rccesses, and also by the fact that old
coins of Crete exhibit the figure of a
labyrinth. Some of the mazes of these
coins are circular, others rectangular,

A True Goldfish Story.

At the New York hospital they relate
a curious occurrence bearing on the hi
bernation Of fishes. In the conservatory
in the upper part of the building they
had several glass jars in which were
goldfish, which is a species of carp. One
morning the caretaker found a jar broken
and the water frozen through and
through, the fish of course being as rigid
as ice. The lump was taken away and
thrown into an old rubbish barrel, where
it remained several weeks.
One March day the sun was unusually
strong, and it split the cylinder of ice,
but what was the astonishment of the
caretaker to see the tail of fish wrig-
Cling out of part of the broken block.
The actual freezing had not killed the
fish, which was removed to another tank,
where it swims about as il nothing had
befallen it.-Our Animal Friends.

Ingenious Methods OF Smuggling.

Some very ingenious methods are en-
ployed for transmitting dutiable articles
by post. Not very long ago a package
from Germany was found to contain a
small roll Of butter. A wire passed
through it met with IN obstruction,
which proved to be a tin box filled with
valuable jewelry. Probably dozen silk
handkerchiefs are found wrapped up in
newspapers in every mail from China.
The skill exhibited by the postal clerks
in detecting such contraband Enclosures
is wonderful. 1t seems to partake of the
nature of intuition. They say that they
do not know themselves how they do it,
but that a newspaper with n silk hand
kerchief in 1t has n sort of gritty feeling
when manipulated. Silk stockings are
mailed from France in the same manner

Demoraiizing the Busy Bee.

AS the magpie is notorious for stealing
glittering objects, so we find the parallel
among savages who have been known to
help themselves on shipboard to all the
movables, being fascinated by mirrors,
cutlery and jewelry. Sometimes bees,
in order to save trouble, attack in
crowds well furnished hives and carry
off. the provisions; they gradually ac-
quire taste for this and form compa-
MES and colonies of brigands. If bees
are given a mixture of honey and brandy,
they can acquire taste for it and be-
come irritable under its influence, drink

Protecting rurpentine Forests.

Turpentine farmers in South Carolina
and Georgia protect their property
against loss by fire in summer by burn
ing the grass and underbrush in mid
winter. The turpentine land is thus
protected by the destruction in advance
of such light material as feeds a forest
fire, and the woodlands are made up Of
tall pine trees standing in tracts free
from small timber and underground.
When spring opens the fresh young grass
puts forth from the ashes of the winter
fires, and the ground is soon covered with
a carpet of rich green.-New York Sun.
