FIying Fishes.

One of the most interesting sights
we observed in Southern California wa
tiers is a flock of flying fishes in the
air, writes Mr.. C. F. Holden in the
Outlook. Not one or two, but often
fifty to one hundred; ten or twenty
feet from the water, lifted by the wind
and whirling away like quail or a
flock of insects, scintillating in the
sunlight startling picture. The fish
appear to be flying, but they are sim
ply one variety of many animals which
apparently fly without wings. The
writer has had these flyers pass with
in a foot of his face. and has known
several persons who have been struck
by them: but while the fishes dash
through the air and cover distances of
an eighth of a mile out of water, they
are not strictly flyers, as they have no
power to move the wings, as in legi-
innate flight. The wings are merely
enormously developed fins. the pecto-
rails resembling wings, with powerful
branches or veins, the anals being
smaller. The fish, then, has not four
wings in the strict acceptation of the
word, but four wing-like fms which it
holds firmly, and which serve as sails
or parachutes, bearing it up against
the current which it forms as it rushes
along. In this way these fish fly or
soar for long distances.
In the Gulf of Mexico there is a fish
known as the flying gurnard, a really
MAGNIFICENT creature, which bounds
into the air when alarmed, spreading
its wide pectOral fins and darting away
like some gorgeous insect. 1t has vivid
colors of blue purple and red. while
its large wing like fins sparkle and
CLEAN in the sun as though they were
inlaid with gems. This flyer possesses
a singular armor. its head being en-
cased in bone. so that a blow from the
fish in its headlong fight through the
air is liable to result seriously. There
are instances known of men being
knocked down and stunned by them.
Certain fishes have the faculty Of
propelling themselves into and through
the air in other ways Such is the
large gar Of the South Pacific, which.
when alarmed bounds from the water
by a twist Of its. tail and goes whiz-
zing away, a living arrow and a dan
gerous one. When the ship Challenger
made her famous trim around the
world, the naturalists on board had
many opportunities to observe this fly
er without wings. One struck the cap
of an officer, and several instances
came to the notice Of the naturalists Of

puts here was admirable. 1t was cut
from pale beige vigogne, with a high

A Remarkable Pear Tree.

One of the most remarkable of old
trained pear trees known is the splen-
did specimen of Uvedale's st. Germain
at Weston House, Shipston-on-Stour.
England, the residence OF the Countess
of Camperdown. Mr.. Masterson, the
gardener of Weston House, writes that
the tree is admired at all times of the
year, but more especially when covered
with large handsome clusters of flow
ers. In autumn, when laden with
quantities Of big fruits, it also presents
an attractive appearance, and there are
many who also admire the tree when
the stems are bare, and certainly at this
season it is interesting, as the training
is very remarkable. The tree seldom
fails to ripen heavy crop of fruit,
cropping right down to the ground. It
has never been fed or root pruned, and
its roots are in the bed of the carriage
drive, gravel also encircling the stem
at the base, where it measures six feet
in circumference. 1t is, however, very
probable that the roots have penetrat-
ed a considerable distance and come
into contact with the stable drains.

Among the animals that take long,
Journeys in great numbers are the
springbok, the American bison, the
musk OK, and in similar bodies, wild
/ horses and the antelopes of the steppes.
Journeying mostly over the plains, they
nearly always move in a wide front. a.
way of marching that gives an equal
chance to all in browsing. Some species
of birds also migrate on foot. The
guinea fowls always go in single file, a.
favOrite mode of travel in Central Al

through the dense scrub or impassableI
forests. The European wild geese are
the champion walkers among birds

From time to time the leaders give the

their own death. Animals on the
march rarely suffer from hunger. The
quadrupeds, being all vegetarians, go
toward the regions Of their food sup
ply. Birds feed up for a time before
thir migration, and during their sea
trips live on the fat stored away on
their bodies. Fish on the march are
the most leisurely of creatures. Float
ing along with hardly any efforts OF
propulsion. and constantly surrounded
by their food supply, they appear the

New Bits of Fancy Work.

New methods and suggestions for
achieving pleasing results in the deco
rations of linen are never more well
come than when summer is here, and
leisure time is spent on the piazza.
For dining table accessories, pillow and
table covers, scarfs, portieres, bed
spreads, etc, only washable fabrics
and working threads are worth ex-
pending ones time and efforts on. For
grounds there is an unprecedented va
riety of linen and cotton stuff in soft
and pleasing cOlors, that lend them
selves readily to artistic results
Among the more effective are ronnd-
thread linen, plain satin damask, linen
lawn and cambria, French handspun
and Japanese linen, huckaback, monte
cloth, colored art linen and duck and
crash. In cottOns, denim easily leads
in both texture and coloring; then
comes duck, drill, Villa cloth, pique,
chambray and sateen. White embroid-
cry is popular for table linen Soft
colors, especially for fine embroidery
are altogether too pleasing to ever be
supplanted On the other hand when
embroidering pillows, portieres or
other large pieces, strong colors and
color contrasts are often needed to
relieve monotony and give character
to a room A design should be suited
to the room for which it is intended
as well as the purpose for which it
it used. For instance, portieres and
bedspreads should be embroidered in
arabesques and scrolls and other bold,
conventionalized designs that give a
greater effect of richness and dignity
than flowers and birds.

the outside skirt. Even the flannel
petticoat, which in the opinion of SO
many people needs be but two yards OF
material scanned together, must be
carefully gored. The best flannel skirt
is two and a half yards wide, gored and
made with muslin yoke fitted to the
figure. Colored flannels are used much
more than white. For travelling black
is also used. These flannel petticoats
are quite short, ending just below the

are the best that can be worn under

IRENE is the idea carried, that null pet
ticoats are worn under the thinnest OF
summer gowns. They are made UNI
brella shaped, fitted with darts over
the hips, and are fully as long as the
gown itself Lace is considered the
prettiest trimming, but embroidery ap-
pears quite as often, more especially on
the cambria spirits. Silk petticoats are
numerous, a fact due undoubtedly to
the number Of remarkably cheat rem
nants of silk to be had. Any color is
considered in good taste, although black
for street wear is the greatest favorite.
For evening all the delicate colors are
worn, trimmed with lace and an end
less amount of ribbons.
