Cannibal Fish OF the Tropics.

This Is fish in tropical waters
which can swallow q fnny friend
twelve times his own size. 1t is called
by students of icthyology ehaismodus
niger. but Its plain, every day name is
the "black swallower."
1t Is small fish about six to eight
inches long, without scales, unlike
most fishes, but with two great fins on
its back. These are sometimes three
inches high.
The chaismodus inhabits tho coast
waters of South America and Africa
and lives at o depth of about 1900
fathoms or 5000 feet. 1t is an expert
swimmer, being able to catch the fast
est fish. In several ways this fish is
similar to snakes. Its jaws are very
loosely hinged and are capable of great
distention. Tho teeth all point back
ward, 30 that when victim once
starts down his throat it seldom re-
turns to tell the tale. Tho stomach
can be expanded to on almost unlimit-
cd extent.
This queer fish is great glutton.
Swimming quietly up behind fish
many times larger than itself, it opens
his great jaws and smilingly takes in
Its larger friend, slowly drawing itself
over its victim by means of its teeth.
At this point its troubles begin.
The swallower is not ablo to digest
such great quantity of food. The
food in time decomposes, and the gas,
generated by decomposition, causes
the fish TO rise to the surface, in spite
of all efforts to remain down. These
fish have been found in this condition,
floating on the surface containing
fishes of at least twelve times their
own size.
The skin of tho stomach of the fish
is Transparent,

Intelligence OF Bees,

An instance of the intelligence OF
bees amounting almost to reasoning,
is related by mining man, Malcolm
McLeish. He is engaged at an aban-
doned mine in this county cyanidine
the old tailings, the plant including
several tanks of water strongly i'm
pregnated with cyanide of potassium.
On the beginning of operations, bees,
of awarms that had left the valley,
came in from the mountains to the
water. For three days they died by
thousands of the water from the tanks.
There was one tank OF fresh water.
however, that was untainted. After
three days the bees continue to come
in large numbers, but they all avoided
the cyanide tanks. Not one would go
there, and, of course. no moro died.
Their dead comrades proved lesson,
and thus they score another on the in
telligence of bees. Los Angeles (Cal. J

Imagine very broad, unpaved

wild gardens trailing round and over
white thatchod cottages. Each cottage
is one-storied, with Old World ewes
and q veranda which runs along the
whole front; the thatched roof seems
to lean with oil Its strength upon a
toy-shaped oolonnade, while tho
creepers afford contrast to the white
washed walls. If you walk down the
road at dusk, you will find at each
door one of the household vigorously
brushing clouds of dust away from

elaborate worsted waistcoat. The girls

Tho latest educational agitation is to
institute schools on wheels. 1t is pro.
posed to fit out railroad trains, fur.
nished with dining and sleeping cars,
so that pupils can combine travel and
study, hating at various sidiugs for
tho study of lninerology, botany, &C.
ology, and so Oh. OF course, only
pupils having money could patronize
this scheme to sec the whole country
and study its resources at the same
time. This way of railroading knowl-
edge into pupils is on advanced theory
of education. If it is proposed to take
the pupils in the railroad schools out
into the region OF train robbers, it
will also be necessary to teach the
young IDEAS how to shoot. One pleas.
ing feature of the plan, suggests the
New Orleans Picayune, is that should
the scholars prove refractory 1t will
be very easy to switch them.

A RENOWNED prANIsTE,

Madame CLARA Schumann, wife OF
the famous composer and herself a re-
nowned pianist, has just died at Frank
fort on -the-M Main. She was the daugh-
ter of Frederick Week, who was q
distinguished teacher of music, and
she naturally inherited n great deal Of
her fathers genius, Her first public
appearance as performer on the
piano was at Leipzig whom she was
only nine years of ago. She married
Schumann when she was twenty one,
and her married life was a singularly
happy one, clouded only the uncertain
health and mental disease Of her hus-
band. She visited most Of the foreign
courts of Europe as virtuoso; but
she nevor came to America. Madame
Schumnnn was woman of rare per-
sonal charm and exalted character.
She has always been widely loved In
Germany and England, and some years
ago q considerable amount of money
was raised for her by her friends when
a prospect arose of her being disabled
by sickness. The compositions of the
first half OF her life were imbued with
her characteristic earnestness, but
later her husbands influence can be
discerned. She has always taken hel
! place in the front rank among pianists,
| but her playing has been best know
