pru.n.. Lonely voy.s. .. Sea

The Norwegian steamer Ceylon ha:
arrived in port. after voyage of q
DAYS from Bilboa. Spain, with cargo
of iron ore. Capt. Hansen told tho
pilots that he had encountered numer'
Gus icebergs. On one occasion he
altered his course to avoid one of tbs
great mountains of ice. Soon after a
fog settled down, and when 1t lifted the
berg was so close on the bow that
collision seemed inevitable. Squat
ting upon his launches at the very
point of the berg where the vessel
would have struck. was a huge polar
bear. The man at the wheel by quick
work managed to turn the steamer In
time to avoid a smash-up. and, as she
glided by, the bear on the berg gave
howl of disappointment. Evidently he
had been imprisoned as long as he
wanted to be, for when he saw his last
chance OF escape slipping away from
him he plunged into the water and
swan toward ship. His legs were no
match for steam, however, and he was
compelled to give up the chase The
last seen of him he had climbed upon
the berg again and was waiting for
something TO happen. -i'hilade, 3hia

Fish with Lungs.

Two species Of fish have been lately
discovered in Africa and Australia
which are possessed of lungs. They
form the connecting link in the evolu-
ton from fishes to the next order OF
creatures. The reason that these fish
are provided with lungs is that they
are found in streams which dry up en-
tirely in the hot summer season, leav-
ing the fish in the empty beds OF the
streams. This period of droughts often
lasts for six months of the year. and
during all this period the fish lie quies-
cent in a kind OF sack formed out of
the clay Of the river bed. The fish are
asleep in their queer earthen houses
all thG time. but they breathe and are
kept alive through their lungs.-Chi-
cago Chronicle.
