4 CuriOuA

a naturalist whose tastes lead him
to the investigation of curious pbe-
nomena, has found a number of deem
sea fish dead from what appear to be in
ternal explosions; indeed, this was the
precise cause of their death. A fish of
this sort sometimes gives chase for it's
prey and reaches a higher level than
that to which it is adapted. Imme-
diately the swimming bladder, which is
filed with air, becomes distended, and
the helpless owner shoots upward at a
great rate of speed. AS it ascends. the
pressure on the bladder decreases. and
probably long before it reaches the
surface it bursts. In some cases there
is serious distortion and mutilation.
the creature being almost torn in
pieces. There have been some experi-
ments in deep-sea angling. Ground
sharks have been brought up from n
depth of 500 feet. They are always
dead when they reach the surface of the
water.-N. Y. Ledger.

A Russian TeIAnhOne.

A Russian scientist has invented a
telephone far superior to anything
hitherto used. With it a man may talk
to more than one of his friends at a
time, provided they are all in the same
room, for it is not necessary to stand
neal the receiver in order to hear the
sound. The voice issues from a metal
lie funnel, and may be heard at some
distance. The new telephone has other
advantages. Sounds transmitted
through it lose very little of their in
tensity by reason of distance. In ex-
periments made between Moscow and
Rostof, a distance of $40 miles, speech,
songs and music could be clearly heard.
A large number of official people were
present at the experiments, and the Off
cial report was full Of praise of the
new telephone.-Paris L'Electricien.
