American Actress Wins HIS quick
Admiration.
London, March IA story is circula-
ting in the clubs to-day to the effect that
the latest victory of the American in
vaders' has been won by Ellie Fay. Miss
Fay was enormously successful at the
London music halls, before and after the
recent revival of 1.-THE Belle of New
York"
To-day's gossip says that Sir Thomas
Upton. who has so long withstood femi-
nine attacks. has fallen victim to her.
The story is that Sir Thomas. who very
seldom visits music hall. was taken by
a friend one night to the Empire, where
Miss Fay was doing a turn, consisting
among other things of an imitation Of
Bandmaster Sousa.
Sir Thomas admired her and was intro
duced to her at once, Miss Fay going to
his box. Sir Thomas is now on the RI
viera.
Miss Fay is also avoiding London fogs
by visit to the same place. No official
announcement Of an engagement has
been made, but rumor runs.

First Analysis Of Aerolites.

In 1896 stone weighing fifty-six
pounds was exhibited in London. 1t
was said to have fallen from the sky
in Yorkshire in the previous December,
but this statement was received with
great incredulity. At that time Sir Jo-
seph Banks was president of the Royal
society, and he noticed a strong re-
semblance between the Yorkshire stone
and one sent to him from Siena, in It
ally, which was said to have fallen
from the sky. Two or three years lat
er he received an account of fall of
stones near Benares, in Hindustan. a
chemical analysis of the stones from
all three sources proved them to be
Identical in composition, and increduli-
ty as to their meteoric origin began
to give way.-Notes and Queries.

FINS OF THE FLYING FISH.
They Are Used as Parachutes Rather
Than as Wings.

They Are Used as ParachuteS Rather
Than as Wings.
Out from the warmer seas fly the
flying fish, the fish of which every one
has heard, which yet none can see for
the first time without gasp of amaze
ment, without a feeling as though be-
holding the miraculous. the fish which
has given rise to more untruthful sto-
ries than any other fish in all the seas.
Undoubtedly the flying fish has wings
like bird; undoubtedly it flies, yet not
as a bird. 1t does not flap the wing
like, pectoral fins on which it is up
borne, nor, once launched in the air,
can it change it's course by any move
ment of it's wings until it dips again
to the water. Yet it will pass a ship
making ten knots in the hour and tray
el in the air as far as 500 feet at 6
time.
Astounding. indeed. is the sight of o
shoal of flying fish taking to the air,
skimming far over the surface when
the sea is calm, lcaping high over
great waves when gales blow. Fish
seem ludicrously out of their element
in the air, but that fish should fly Is
not really more wonderful than that
some animals and bil>ls, like the otter
or the penguin. dive and swim to per
lection.
The flying fish's fms are. really Eara
chutes to support and steady its bod!
rather than wings to propel it. The
lobe of the tail gives propulsion to the
body as it leaves the water. A flying
fish measures about foot in length.
and its long, transparent pectoral fins
reach almost to the tail; but. though
very large when expanded, they can
be folded up very neatly. Its flight is
short and intermittent, and it must
needs continually dip into the sea tc
give itself a fresh start.-Pearsons

NATURAL HISTORY.

Ostriches live to the age of about
sixty years.
The mandarin duck is one of the
most beautiful of aquatic birds.
So voracious is the cod that, it will
swallow anything it sees in motion.
An eel has two separate hearts. One
beats 60, the other 100, times minute.
A ladybird can travel 20,000,0 100000
times its own length in an hour. In
that time sloth can only travel fifty
times it's own length.
There is no country in the world in
which the raven is not found to be np-
tive; it is also the only bird known to
ornithologists which is of such cosmo-
politan character.
Only one existing reptile can sustain
itself in the air. This is the flying
dragon of the East Indies. 1t has no
real wings. but can glide from tree to
tree like flying squirrel.
The common house fly usually pro-
duces the note L in flying TO do SO
it must yibrate it's wings 335 times a
second The honey bee sounds A,
which means that its wing vibrations
are 40 to the second.

A u;atori,n,. Reward.

On April s, 1865, John Stow, tailor
and historian, died. His minute and
painstaking survey can never be over
looked by any one who wishes to know
London of the sixteenth century. 1t
contains a wealth of fact and detail
and has, moreover, been described as
the most picturesque Of narratives. At
the age of eighty years he was given
by James |. as reward for his many
and useful books and chronicles-a Ii
