George Gould had narrow escape from
drowning yesterday, when he met the

walking across the plank held between
the two vessels, the launch gave sud

Gould's situstion was critical. However,
he kept his head and, treading water,

The White and Black Cross Fish.

Both China and Japan have long
been known as lands where rare
forms of both vegetable and animal
life exist, but | don't remember of
ever having seen anything in print
until lately concerning the cross
fish," piscatorial wonder which
abounds in the fresh waters of both
countries. The rarest specimens Of
the two is the one known to the Japs

black cross " 1t is a pink-colored

passed without Guillaume's receiving

These orders come not only from
France, but also from foreign coun-

cannot fill them. One house in Brus-

as to how he could get over the emer-

that he knew of no one that owed
him, and the cashier insinuated that
that would make no difference. if the
draft did not return too soon. Tie
operator reflected time, and then
wrote out a draft on the sultan of
Turkey for $40, 600, and deposited it
in the bank. The draft went to New
York, and thence to London, where
it came into the hands Of the Roths-
childs, who forwarded it to Constan-
tinople, and it was duly presented to
the sultan's chamberlain, who, not
knowing anything about it, referred
it to the sultan. "Who is this MANI"

him anything?" demanded his high

Growing Sponges.

"Sponges will probably be cheaper
in the future" said R. C. Kings
ley. Recently it has been discov-
cred that these animals will grow
and flourish when cut up into slips
and transplanted. This brings up
the old question as to whether sponges
are vegetable or animal, and may re-
suit in overturning the old-time YER
dict that they are lower order of
animal life and not vegetable. How
ever this may be, the sponge beds

Flying Fish.

The flying fish of the Atlantic is
known as the skipjack. 1t is a mem
her of the California Hying-fsh fam
ily but dissimilar in appearance.
Large schools appear on the New
England coast in autumn. 1t is per-
secuted by the ravenous inhabitants
of the ocean, and offers an interest
ing spectacle when trying to escape
pursuers. Multitudes then mount to
the surface, crowding on each other
as they press forward. When still
more closely pursued they spring to
the height Of several feet, leap
over each other in singular confusion,
again sinking beneath the waves.
Still further urged they mount again,
rushing along the surface by repeat
ed starts for more than 100 feet,
without once dipping beneath or
scarcely seeming to touch the water.
1t has been judged that on occasions
more than 10000 of these terror
stricken fish have been out Of water
together, striving to elude a hungry
foe. Though the fins of this fish
are many they are small, and the
poctoral far from large. Consequent
ly that they are capable of such
flights of speed is wonderful The
angle of articulation of the fins is
well adapted to raise the fish by the
direction Of their motions to the sur.
face. The power of springing comes
from its tail and finlets-[San Fran
