Tlying FISHES.

One of the most interesting sights
re observed in Southern California wa
tiers is a flcck 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 whrling 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 foot OF his face, and has known
several persons who have been struck
10y 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 10
power to move the wings, as in legi-
innate fight. 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 fins which it
holds firmly, and which serve as sails
or parachutes. bearing ii up agains,
the current which it forms as ii rushes
along. In this way these fish fly c;
soar for long distances.
In the Gulf of Mexico there is a fish
known as the flying gurnard, a realJ
magnificent creature, which bounds
into the air when alarmed, spreading
its wide pectoral fins and darling 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 blow from the
ish 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 dam
gerous one. When the ship Challenger
made her famous trim around the
world. the naturalists on board had
many opportunities 10 observe this n.y.
er without wings One struck the cap
of an officer, and several instances
came to the notice Of the naturalists Of

guinea fowls always go in single hle, a
favorite mode of travel in Central Al
RIGA, where paths have TO be cut
through the dense scrub or impassapie
forests. The European wild geese are
the champion walkers among birds.
Belying the stigma attached TO their
name they show much forethought IN
pedestrian expeditions, which are un-
dertaken either 10 accompany tnelr
young, or during the moulting seasch
Unhasting, yet unresting, they march'
ahead in columns, often ten geese
abreast, careful not to jostle Their
neighbors, with head erect in the air.
From time to time the leaders give the
signal to halt and feed. and then TO
fall in" again and continue on the
road. Abroad before the days of rail
roads, dealers in poultry, making use
of this marching power, often saved ex-
pense by letting the geese transport
themselves.
At Antwerp. not long ago, lasge
flocks were seen marching up the
plank to steamer bound to Harwich,
and then gravely descending to ihe
lower decks to range themselves in an
Enclosure, quite unwittingly COINS to
their own death. Animals on The

allow light to penetrate nor sound to

Although the Eskimo are dependent
upon the sea for everything they eat
and for the clothes they wear, they do
not know how to swim. This seems
strange at first, but becomes less mys
terious when we take in consideration
the fact that the temperature of the
water in the region where they live Is
never above freezing point The natives
guard against the danger of drowning

The Dirty Middle Ages.

Lord Playfair has recalled the ssGt
that Queen Elizabeth used to write
her lord mayor scolding letters because
he allowed the city to grow so fast; IL
actually contained at the time 1884,
600 people, who, as the queen wrote
became heaped together and in sort
smothered," and accordingly she for
babe any more houses to he built with
in three miles Of London and West
minister. THE rate of mortality then
was so in 1000, whereas now it is
10, and is being steadily reduced. No
one was ever a better hygienist than
Moses. The conditions which he Ell
Joined were those which we now seek
to attain-clean air, clean water, clean
food, clean soil. The Romans also
practiced cleanliness and enjoyed good
health. Unhappily between the ancients
and ourselves there was period os
Loco years, when Michelet, the his
torian Of the world, said that not a
man or woman in Europe ever took n
bath
Those poor middle ages are suffering
from the modern specialist as from the
sciolist; the dirty ages Lord Playfair
would have them called. And yet they
built cathedrals that we cannot even
restore becomingly. and gave us chiv-
airy and an ideal of womans purity
that is still transforming life. Lord
Playfair thinks he has characterized
st. Francis when he says that st. Fran
els knew nothing of the bath; but we
wonder what St. Francis would have
thought of Lord Playfair and the ma.
terialistic ideas that ignore the soul. -
