Animal Barometcrs.

Tho tortoise is not an animal one

BIO afraid of rain, but it is singularly

rain falls the Galapagos tortoise makes
for some convenient shelter On IL
bright clear morning, when not cloud
is to be seen, tho denizcns of n tortoise
farm OH the African coast may be seen
sometimes heading for the nearest over
hanging rocks. When that happens, the
proprietor knows that rain will come
down during the day, and as rule it
comes down i'll torrents. Tho sign never
fails. This prescnsation. to coin
word, which exists in many birds and
beasts may be explained partly from
the increasing weight of the atmosphere
when RAIN is forming, partly by habits
of living and partly from tho need of
moisture which is shared by all. Tho

A Legend of Nantucket.

About Vineyard sound there are
numerous legends of famous Indian
giant. 1t is SAID that the rocks at Sea-
comet are tho remains of his wife,
whom he threw into the sea there. Flo
turned his children into fishes, and emp
tying out his pipe one day formed
Nantucket out of it's ashes. This latter
story of Nantucket's source must &C.
count likewise for the well known story
Of that old Nantucket captain who was
accustomed to make his reckonings by
tasting the earth brought up on sound
Ing. One day the lead was dipped In
some earth brought on board ship from
the island, and tho captain, after tast-
ing, leaped from his berth in great ex-
element exclaiming, Nantucket g
sunk, and here we are right over old
Marin Hackett's garden" Naturally,
| he would recognize the taste Of tobacco
