a Migration Which Takes Place AZ

Migration Which Takes Place Aft
er the Creatures Birth. &S ss5
# Flatfishes keep their white and blind
side on the muddy Dc sandy bottom
and pretend that the upper and spec:
kled side is a part Of that bottom. This
they do to avoid observation, for in
spite OF their aWk ward shape they are
swallowed at sight by pertinacious enc
mics, to the manifest discomfort Of
both. A greedy cormorant curling up
and attempting to swallow plaice,
which tries to be as disob bliging as pos
sible. affords an object lesson not soon
forgotten on the way not to behave at
mealtimes. But the bird usually sue
ceeds in its object, and the flatflsh, in
spite of persistent efforts to retain it's
natural fatness, at last disappears
down the round, elastic throat Of the
cormorant. With aview to avoid un~
pleasantnesses Of this kind, soles are
wont to hide themselves in the sand,
keeping only their eyes above the SUR
face to act as sentinels. =
In reality the dark surface Of a sole,
plaice or turbot is it's side and not it's
back. It is true that both eyes are Wis
1ble,: which is not the case when a
mackerel or. a conger is laid on it's side,
but this is simply owing to the fact
that one eye Of a fathsh has since the
creatures birth passed across what we
may call the bridge Of it's nose to keep
company with the other eye.
The wandering eye begins its migra-
ton at very early age-so early, in
deed, that it is a little difficult to detect
it on its journey. "A plaice fifth of an
inch in length and s days old carries
one eye on each side Of it's nose. When
three-fifths Of an inch long and about
2 months old, the left eye has crossed
over to the right side. Lemon soles
when. one inch long orS2 months old
have the left eye on the edge Of the
head, but when double that size and 6
months old both eyes are found on the
right side. A sole assumes its lopsided
aspect by the time it has been hatched
2 months. When q turbot is half an
inch in length, the right eye just be.
gins to peep over the center arch Of the
bridge, at three-q quarters of. an inch il
is half way across, and at an inch the
passage is complete and the two eyes

A Fiend Collector Snubbed.

Collectors of autographs, postcards,
etc.. are not always conscious of the
importunacy of their demands, and the
following anecdete. which comes from
Triest, gives a striking example of
their falling and of the humorous way
in which the intended victim treated
his tormentor. An Italian painter re-
ceived a letter In the following terms:
, Dear sir--I shcIld like to ask you great favor
asl hope you will excuse the liberty take. /
am making collection Of painted postcards and
should feel rnysef highly aattered if you would
kindly send me one, with little picture painted
on it by yourself. It will certainly be the most
treasured card Of my collection, as I should be
able to say that you one of the first to honor
me in this way. Hoping to receive one, beg to
thank You in advance. :.
The artist replied:
Dear sir-I should like to ask you great favor
and hope you will excuse the liberty take.
AM making collection OF thousand franc notes
and should feel myself highly fattered if you
would kindly send me one. 1t will certainly be
the most highly treasured thousand franc note of
my collection, as I should be able to say that you
were one of the first to honor me in this way.

vance. =. a Z

Cases of Queer Revenge.

CaHeD OF queer HeTen&3.
In England, where men have more
time for everything, including revenge,
some queer methods of playing even
have come into the courts.
Albert Bewdley of Leeds had a dog
that howIed at night. A naturalist next
door did not like it, but had no legal
recourse.
One day ants of the minute red vari-
ETY. began to overrun Bewdley's, house,
Nothing that could be done headed
them off. They grew worse and worse.
He had made up his mind to break his
lease and move when one night he
heard noise in his dining room. Slip
ping down, he found the naturalist
emptying bag of ants on the floor.
In court the naturalist paid damages,
but he did it smilingly.
Rowley, the late English violinist,
was hard to beat on his perseverance
against one who had incurred his i'll
will.
Rowley had a quarrel with a horse
dealer named Brant. 1t was a trivial
matter, but Rowley took the next house
to Brant, set up piano, bought cor
net and proceeded to make insomnia
for Brant.
After one Or two assault cases In
court Brant moved. Rowley bought
out the next door neighbor and follow
ed with piano and cornet. Brant went
to law, but found he could do nothing.
Failing, he took a detached house. Then
Rowley hired brass bands and organs
and assailed him. This was actionable,
and Rowley paid s1,o00 for his revenge.
