AdsertIslne n the c.nn,ia.

The old idea Of advertising by throw
ing illuminated designs on the clouds
has been revived in England and some
Of the London papers are appalled, at
the prospects which it opens out. 1t
appears that 4 select party OF engineers
gathered together near London. made
some very successful experiments in
throwing luminous letters on the clouds
by means Of electricity and the sugges-
ton to cover the sky with huge, 1am-
ing advertisements naturally followed.
One leading paper, utter expressing the
conviction that the county council have
battled in vain against Sky signs" on
the top of honses, il the clouds them
selves are utilized for business pur-
poses, states that it has received let
ter from three electricians to the effect
that they had patented an invention OF
this nature six months ago. They
further assert that not only lid they
succeed in projecting images of letters
and landscapes on natural clouds, bat
were able to create artificial clouds for
the purpose SO as to be practically indie
pendent Of the weather.

The ceremonies attending the inaugu-
ration OF new railroads arc scarcely sim
liar in the east to those which prevail.
in America. At the opening Of tho
Jaffa-Jerusalern railway curious Mos.
lem rite was observed. Three sheep
were slaughtered and their blood be-
sprinkled on the rails before the first
train was allowed to proceed upon its
journey. This superstitious ceremony
had for its object the soaring away Of
evil genii, who would have otherwise
exerted baneful influence upon pas,
sepgers using the line.

LIZARDS THAT CAN FLY.

The Graceful Little Saurians Found In
Borneo aud Nowh ere Else.
Borneo, so far as is known, says the
st. Louis Republic, is the only island or
country on the globe that produces
species of flying lizard. These little
living saurians have all the grace of
bird and as great variety of colors as
a tropical butterfly. One representative
Of the curious tribe of reptiles, Draco
volans leekii, is from twelve to six
teen inches in length, the primary col
ors being blue and yellow bands con-
nected by series Of red dots situated
50 closely together as to give them the
appearance of being continuous car
mine lines. The tail OF Draco volans is
long and slender, 1attcncd laterally,
very flexible and in several other ways
calculated to serve as a rudder The
wings are not wholly unlike the sails"
of the American flying squirrel, only
that in the case of the lizard they come
much nearer to being two wings, Draco
having full control of them, whichcan
not be said of the squirrel mentioned,
the last named creature only using his
Nln8ilke dppeutdSeS d. q SOLL u JiE-
achute With the lizard it is different;
he leaps into the air from his vantage
ground on some high limb and scars off
in any direction as easily and as grace
fully as some gau,ly insect, rapid move
ments Of the legs and the rudderli!se
tail serving 10 steer the ethereal crca-
ture in any direction desired. Draco
yOlaus was unknown to naturalistS
prior TO 1889, and may even now be said
to possess many characteristics not
thoroughly understood.

the pelt5 of five white foxes. The man
is an expert naturalist, and has been
dealing in furs in the northwest for
forty years. He says these are the first
white foxes he ever heard of, but he is
absolutely sure the pelts are genuine
fox skins. The conformation has been
carefully preserved, and the big brush
is, Of course, attached. The fur is snow
white, spotless and beautifully soft.
The furricr bought them from seal
