Fish That Cannot Swim,

More than one species of fish is met
with which cannot swim, the most sin
guar OF which perhaps is the maltha,
Brazilian fish, whose organs of loco
mouOn only enable it to crawl or walk
or hop, after the manner of toad, to
which animal this fish to some extent
bears a resemblance, and it is provided
with long upturned snout. The an
terror pectoraD fins of the maltha,
which are quite small, are not capable
OF acting on the water, but can only
move backward and forward. Both
these and the ventral and anal fins are
very different from the similar fins in
other fishes and could not serve for
swimming at all.
Other examples of nonswimming
fishes include the sea horse, another
most peculiarly shaped inhabitant of
the sea, which resembles the knight in
a set of chessmen, and the starfish.

The new grenadines are more like
nets than anything else, they are so
silky and transparent. They are striped

most expensive weaves are in broche
effects.
The stiff dead white piques Of other

Robins.

American robins build plaster and
dry grass nests in the crotches Of trees,
while the little English bird of the
same name, only about half as big as
its cousin in America, makes q soft
moss nest on the ground. Its breast is
a yellow, red or scarlet, much brighter
than the American bird, and it sings
even more sweetly, but it is of small
value as an insect destroyer. The
American robin, ON the. other hand,
has much duller, quieter coat, more
extended vocabulary, sounding many
distinct notes of warning, fear, joy,
etc, but not in SO sweet a song, and is
an inveterate worm and insect hunter.
With only occasional lapses into vege-
tarianism, at strawberry and cherry
ripe time, the American robin is really
one of the most Industrious allies the
farmer can have.

ORCHARD AND GARi-,EN.

the least pruning.
Very slender trees often needs a stake

The best time to take rose cul. ings is
Just after Towering.
Low branched trees are neces;s ary for
the production of choice fruits.
All things considered, the bes t time
TO set out strawberries is in the sspring.
Young rosebushes should nota be al
lowed to bloom. Rather give them the
whole of the first season for growth.
In soils adapted to grape culture
nroner nruning and thorough CO ltiva-
tion are of much more Importance than
enriching the soil.
The objection to large trees for n ans
planting is that they must be take up
without losing too much of the n 'ots,
which causes check in growth.

The Derivation of Gibraltar.

In I'll A. d. the Arabs crossed the
narrow strait of Gibraltar and estab-
lished themselves around the famous
rock whose name is derived from their
leader. Field Marshal Tarik was one
of the leaders of the Arab invasion of
ing mountain. The great rock, which
was by far the most conspicuous OBJ
ject along the shores of the strait, was
accordingly named after Tarik, Gebel
ell Tark, or the mountain of Tarik. 1t is
easy to see how this name became
changed into its present form, Gibral-
tar.

RADiUM.

Glass vessels in which rasdium has
been washed acquire!its power of emit
ting rays.
A bit Of radium as big ais grain of
sand sends out enough rays to blister
the skin.
Radiurn has been known to give out
heat for year or two with no percep-
tible diminution. Nobody'knows wheth-
er this process can be kept up indefi-
nitely or not.
ton Of radium, according to Sir
William Crookes, might be worth the
whole national debt rof Great Britain,
not allowing for nyjfurther decline in
the price of, consols.
Sir William Crookes still believes
that the amount of energy in the uni
verse IS constant quantity, and he
thinks that in some way not yet ex-
planned the radium replenishes it's en-
erSy from the movements of the MOLE
cules OF air surrounding it.

"SiI1S" That Is Really Tin.

OF course British critics say that the
practice of adulterating silk with tin
originated in Germany. At any rate, ii
is common enough now.
All silk is mixed with more or less
foreign matter to give it weight and
stability. Vegetable substances were
formerly used for the purpose. In dye
ing silk the necessary boiling reduces
its weight about one-fourth, taking out
the natural gummy substances. The
weight is sometimes restored with tan
mic acid. Tin is more common-most of
all in cheap black silks.
Very soft ''wash'' silks are apt to be
pure. Burn a scrap, and nothing re-
mains but ash. A tin weighted scrap
when carefully burned leaves a resi-
dunn like excessively fine wire gauze.

The dowry of a Turkish bride is fix

amount, for polite reasons, is seldom
departed from, even by the rich. The
wedding day is invariably Thursday,
and the customary wedding festivi-

days. They are carried on by men
and women separately, and each day
is distinguished by different cere-
mony. No spoons or forks or wines are
used at the wedding feast.
