monster it can close it's lenses and hide
itself in the darkness. It can turn its
lantern off and on at will, and then it
is always ''filled" and ready when
wanted.
Another marine animal has a lumin-
Gus bulb that hangs from its chin, and
thus throws the light before it to warn
it of the approach of enemies Still
another upholds big light from the
extremity of the dorsal fin. Others
again have constant supplies of lumin-
Gus oil that runs down their sides from
the fins, making a bright and constant
light all around it.
Most of the jelly fish are phosphores-
cent. These live far down, on the very
floor of the ocean, where it is always
dark and gloomy. The jewellers in
these watery depths are provided with
lights of their own shining bodies and
fins, which illumine their home with a
strange, though no doubt cheerful,
glare.

A TREE PHENOMENON.
Mountain Ash Growing on the
Tower of a Church.
Fer Thirty Years 1t Has Been Q Source OF
Wonder and Qualification to
the Unitarian Brethren
of Utica, N. Y

The spectacle of tree standing upon
a tower of the Unitarian church in the
city of Utica, N. Y, has aroused much
interest as well as discussion as to
what is really essential to plant life in
order that development may continue.
This mountain ash, says the Ameri-
can Agriculturist, has been growing
for thirty years upon narrow ledge
OF sandstone. sprouting from joint in
the masonry less than an inch in width;
the main stem just above the stone at
the present time has diameter of five
inches. The tree is fifteen or sixteen
feet in height and possibly eight feet
across its widest part; the branches
are thick and numerous, and for some
years each autumn they have been
bright with the vivid scarlet berries
peculiar to this species of tree.
Protruding from chink in a NOR
tared wall, forty-two feet above the
street, exposed to the glare of the sun
in summer and the frosts of many
severe winters, it's roots only having
the mortared interstices of masonry
through winch TO penetrate IN Searcn
of nutriment, the question may well
be asked: Where does this tree obtain
the elements that enter into the com
position of all plant life? Is it pos
sible that it is sustained like the
known air plants, by absorbing from
the air and through it's foliage the ele
ments upon which it lives and thrives?
Or does dust settle in the crevices?
At different times similar questions
have agitated the scientific world. no
tably in the case of the Coliseum, that
famous ruin of Rome, which was COW
cred for centuries with wondrous
growth of vegetation. Walls, arches
and crumbling galleries were green
with plants and shrubs, the quantity
not more surprising than was the vari-

by which young sailors in the navy are
often called.
These disks are exactly like small
bull's-eye lanterns with regular lenses
and refectors.
b The lenses, says the Boston Herald,
gather the rays and the refectors
throw them out again. There is lay
er of phosphorescent cells between the
two, and the entire effect is as perfect
as if made by some skillful optician.
Many other fish have ''refectors, "
many have lenses" but the mid
shipmite" is the only kind that has
such splendid specimens of both.

LIVING LANTERNS.

queer Fishes That Garry Bright and
Striking Sea Torches.
Away down in the dark depths of
the ocean there are living lanterns
that are borne about to light up the
darkness. A queer fish called the
''Midshipmite" carries the brightest
and most striking of all these sea
torches.
Along its back, under it and at the
base of its fins there are small disks
that glow with clear phosphorescent
light like rows of shining buttons on
the young middy's uniform-in this
way it gets its name ''midshipmite. .

A TRUSTY GUARDIAN.
The Remarkable Intelligence of an Eng
Ush Mastiff

Ush Mastiff.
More than forty years ago, in 1851, I
visited party of friends in the Ben
digo gold fields in Australia, where I
was cordially welcomed. Among the
valued possessions of my friends, says
writer in St. Nicholas, was an Eng
lish mastiff, which belonged to one of
the gentlemen.
The good understanding between
myself and the mastiff appeared to
have become so well established dur
ing the evening, that on the next day
l left the claim where my friends were
at work to fetch kettle of tea from
the tent, without the least misgivings
as to my reception by him.
Rex" who was always allowed to
run loose, came forward to meet me.
He allowed me to stroke his head, and,
so far as could see, showed no inter
est in my movements as l entered the
tent and took drink of the tea But,
when | started to leave the tent with
the kettle in my hand, imagine my as
constituent when l saw the supposed
friend Rex facing me, and showing his
teeth in a very threatening way. ]
put down the kettle, seated myself Oh
the edge of the campbell and spoke te
him. He wagged his tail and looked
so friendly that 1 thought must have
made a mistake about his intentions
Not at all. The moment l attempted
to leave the tent with the kettle, I had
reason to know that Rex's broad
grin was no mere notion, but, on the
contrary, real sign that he was true
to his trust as he understood it.
talked to him again, set down the
kettle, and attempted to leave without
it. Still Rex objected. He had his
doubts, and determined to give his
masters the benefit of them. There was
no help for it; was held prisoner, and
could do nothing but sit down and
wait patiently for one of the party te
come to my relief. No one came until
nearly an hour later, by which time
my long absence had caused my
friends to suspect that I was being
held prisoner by Rex. I bore the dog
no grudge for his faithful zeal, and in
a few days found he would let me come
and go, and take whatever I wished.
Prudent Investments.
In is a great blessing to have cheer
full confidence in the future. Two EN-
inent French gentlemen who wer,
great friends used to relate an amusing
story of their impecunious days.
Neither fame nor fortune had come tt
them, but they were always hopeful
The years had weiohed heavily enough
upon Jules, however, for him to have
become entirely bald
One day Alphonse met him with {
beaming countenance and cried, gayly
What do you think, Jules! l have
been buying strong box!"
"Then, Alphonse," replied Jules
firmly, 81 shall buy hair brush. y

A easily FIND.

Murdered and Robbed in the Woods ! Year Ago
Leaning Against Tree.
Some men cutting pulp wood yester-
day afternoon, found the badly decom-
posed remains Of man in some brush,
about three hundred yards from the
West Virginia Central track short
distance north Of Thomas, w. Va.
The men supposed them to be the re-
mains Of Mr.. S. 7. O'Donnell, who dis
appeared from Thomas May %, 1892,
and later on Mrs. ,. T. Gallagher, his
sister, positively identified the body
by his clothes, as her brother.
When discovered the body was lean
ing against the stump Of tree with
the hat pulled down over the face, and
gave the idea, from its position that
he had sat down for nap. The flesh
had all disappeared from the face, but
some little remained on the body.
A loaded revolver was found in his
pocket. In his vest pocket was a
small quantity Of silver, and memo
randum book in his insidecoat pocket.
The latter was 50 badly decayed that
no information could be obtained from
it. In his shirt was hole resemblins
one made by bullet.
