BIack Sea a Poison.

The explorations of the Russian scientist. Andrussow, have established q very curious fact. The black sea, which in some parts has a depth of more than 6,500 feet, is poisoned by sulphuretted hydrogen wherever the water is deeper than 1 1,200 feet. This accounts for the curious fact that there in no organic life below that depth, excepting, perhaps, some bacteria of very low order, impregnated with sul- phur. The causes for thls phenomen- on are explained by the quick outflow of the fresh water through the Bos- nhorous, while salt water coming from inc Mediterranean enters through q deeper current into the depths of the Black sea. The waters on the surface are. therefore, controlled absolutely by horizontal currents of considerable force. and vertical currents which might carry the noXious gases from the bottom to the surface and fresh oxygen from l..e surface to the bottom are hardly ever noticeable. The water at great depths is now so saturated with sulphurie gas by the disintega- tion of organic matter sinking to the ,ottom by reason of it's weight that no
 sh or other living being, which needs
 xygen for it's organic system, can eN-
 # beyond a stated depth.

THE CHINESE FIDDLER.

title Ones Have to Depend on Him For
 Their Toys.
 Few, indeed would be their play .hings if the Chinese children had to depend on toy stores for them. As it is, the peddler is a familiar sight in every Chinese city, and when the chil- iren hear the gong of toy seller it is ] signal for rush to the front gates to catch him before he gets by.
 At call these men slip the pole from their shoulders and set their baskets on the ground, and there is always d group of children ready to gather around them.
 A display of toys carried by one of these toy sellers includes many things familiar to Americans, though the shapes seem odd and fantastic. Clay fruits, dolls of all kinds, pewter jewell rys earrings and hair ornaments, fire crackers of strange shapes which will hardly ever go off, toy pipes, little bowls and chopsticks, small carved idols, little horses, dogs, eamels and elephants all covered with rabbit fur, ana wagons With music boxes under the seats that grind out a tune as you pull them along.
 Other things seem stranger still, for the kites, made in the shape of birds, fish, serpents, dragons and even inani- mate objects like bells and houses, will have wind harps fastened on their backs to make them sing while in the air, and will have eyes set loose in their heads, so that when the wind blows the eyes will turn around and look as if they were winking at you. There are long glass trumpets, to be blown like bugles, that give out beautiful, clear note. Little shuttleeocks made out of a couple of cash bound together with red leather and with bunch of feath- CTS fastened in the holes in the cash, which the children keep in the air by Jumping with their heads and striking with their feet. Mods for making clay money, whistling tops that spin on string held between two sticks; small whistles to fasten on the tails of pet pigeons to whistle as they fly.

inches in diameter are made by past ing together strips of writing paper an inch wide. Two sharp table knives or razors should be held by two persons, each holding one on the same level with the sharp edge upward. Over these the paper rings are to be passed and the broomstick suspended by the paper rings. The performer then takes a strong stick and strikes the broom stick a sharp, strong blow in the mid- dle, and it breaks instantly, without tearing the paper rings or causing them to cut on the raZors.
 Or this can be done by sticking needle ip each end of the broomstick and resting the needles on the edges of glass goblets stood on chairs. In either case the blow struck in the mid dle breaks the stick without moving the supports. A pile of checkers may be put on the table and by one blow with the edge of knife the center or even the bottom one may be removed without disturbing the others.

How to Make a Paper Fish Swim.

How to Make a Paper Fish Swim.
 Gut out of ordinary paper fish. In the center of the body must be cir cular opening, communicating with the tail by narrow canal. Place water in an oblong vessel and lay the fish carefully on the water, so that it's un- der side will be thoroughly wetted, though it's upper surface remains dry.
 Pour delicately one or two drops of oil within the circular opening. The oil will strive to spread itself over the surface of the water, but by doing so it can only travel along the little canal that leads to the tail. By reactive eff feet the fish will be impelled in a direc- ton opposite to that in which the oil will go. The movement will last quite long.

4 Grateful Cat.

A Boston family had a cat of which they thought a great deal. The cat was sick, and in spite of careful nursing, eatnip tea and all they could do, the cat grew worse, and they had to call the doctor, The doctor soon put pussy on her feet again.
 Not long after this doctor was called again to see a member of the same family. No sooner had the doctor en- tered the room than the eat appeared, took a seat beside the doctor and did not stir until the physician had left. Every day the doctor returned, and every day the cat sprung to greet him with every appearance of delight.
 Race Between Swallow and Dragon Fly.
 A swallow is considered one of the swiftest of flying birds, yet a dragon fly can escape with the greatest ease from his pursner, so swiftly does this insect fly. A naturalist tells of an excit- ing chase he saw between a swallow and a dragon-fy. The insect flew with in credible speed, and wheeled and lodged with such ease that the swallow, de- spite it's utmost efforts, completely fail- ed to overtake and capture 1t.
