OUR CORRESPONDENTS.

Matte and Loula Hartsell, Locust Level, N. c.
Locust Level is small village but we are glad to
say we have the opportunity of attending good
school.
We have had a great revival in the temperance
work at this place. Many have signed the pledge
and some who we're fast becoming drunkards,
pledged themselves never to taste anything that
would intOxlcate.
we young people should do all we can for 1t, and
we can do great deal. The boys can pledge them
selves that they VII never drink chew or smoke;
with cigar smoking. But boys, you are mistaken
if you think that; and if you want the girls to
love you. you had better stop it.
We will close by asking for correspondents.

This is what The Popular Science Month
" says about fish falling up' in the water
the child who falls upstairs and gets
hurt: THE fish that live at enormous depths
are, in consequence Of the enormous pres
sure, liable to curious form of accident.
If in chasing. their prey or for any other
reason they rise to a considerable distance
above the floor of the ocean, the gases Of
their swimming bladder become considera-
bly, expanded and their specific gravity
greatly reduced; up to a certain limit the
muscles of their bodies can coupteract the
tendency to float upward and enable the
fish to regain it's proper sphere of life at
the bottom, but beyond that limit the mus
ces not strong enough to drive the body
downward, and the fish, becoming more and
more distended as it goes, is gradually
killed on it's long and involuntary journey
to the surface Of the sea.
1.-The deep sea fish TIM ar exposed to a
danger that no other animals in the world
are subject to- namely, that Of tumbling
upward That such accidents do OCCASION
ally occur is evidenced by the fact that
some fish, which are known to be true
deep sea forms, were discovered dead and
floating on the surface Of the ocean long
before our modern Investigations were COM
menced."
Two hunters in the California Sierras
were returning home after days hunt
when their dog scared up a panther that
took refuge in a tree. Each hunter had
four shots left and the first hunter sue
ceeded in breaking the panthers hind leg,
but failed to dislOdge it. The other man
then fired his complement with the result of
only inflicting a flesh wound. With ammu-
milton exhausted and the panther still LASH
ing it's tail in defiance, the hunters held a
consultation and finally hit upon plan.
