Fish in Wells.

The statement has been frequently
made that many of the new artesian
wells on the Desert OF Sahara occas.
ionally eject small fish. This state.
ment, which has been generally dis
credited, has been proved to be true
by NJ. Desor, the Swiss naturalist.
After his return from trip Of explor.
alton in North Africa, NJ. Desor wrote
as follows: II found hundreds of
fish in the streams leading from the
wells out into the sands. It is impos.
sible that they should come from any
place else than from out of the wells,
for the water is not in communication
with any basin, creek or river. The
fish l saw at the oasis OF Ain.Tala be.

curious thing respecting them is that,
although coming from depth of from
any place between 200 and 500 feet,
they are not sickly or misshapen, and
have large and perfectly formed eyes.
This is contrary to the general rule,
such creatures from subterranean
waters usually being totally devoid OF
the organs of sight,

azine, made very great study of the
weather he would meet on the coast
on both sides, and especially of the
fogs. He took care to note from time
to time where he met fogs, how long
he was running through them and
what the size of the fog was, and lie
came to the conclusion that the gen.
eral size Of a fog in the Atlantic was
about thirty miles in diameter and he
could run through in certain time.
There were two sorts of fog he had to
encounter ; one was the thick, low fog,
with a fairly bright sky overhead, and
the other q dense mist. He could
calculate, generally speaking, how
long he would be in each, and whether
it was better to run through at full
speed and get out of it, or so slow
and wait for it to lift.

Noise Of Railroad Trains.

A German engineer has devised q
method for preventing the noise made
by trains in passing over iron bridges
that may come in for consideration.
He puts decking of one and a quar-
ter-inch plauks between tho cross
girders, resting on three.inch timbers
laid on the bottom fanges.
On the planks double layer of felt
is laid, which is fixed to the vertical
web of the cross girder. At the con-
nection with the girder timber'cov.
cred joint is placed on felt, and the
whole is bolted to the bottom dange.
Four inches of slack gravel cover the
decking, which is sloped toward the
center of the bridge for drainage pur'
posed.
A layer of felt is laid between tue
timbers and the planks they rest on,
and the iron work in contact with
decking and ballast is asphalt.
The method is found very satisfao.
tory in reducing the noise OF passing
trains, and it is to be hoped that its
principle will soon be largely adopted
in this country. Already the fact
that some consideration is due to ones
neighbors in the matter of piano
practice and other domestic noises is
becoming recognized, and quitea trade
has sprung ND in the "deafeninS"
materials.
OF these, probably the most in re.
quest is mineral wood, q layer of
which is placed under the floor, in the
walls, and over the ceiling if need be.

peace of mind of the rest of the in

Another easily handled material
which forms al effeotual dam for the
vibration of sound waves, and which
is not open to the objection which
mineral wood presents, of turning
powdery, is quilt composed Of long,
