Firth of Forth one day hauled up a
ribbon fish which, when stretched upon
the deck of the ship, which was of
forty tons burden, was longer than the
vessel. or sixty feet in length. Says
Mr.. Holder: Tho fish is literally like
Il ribbon. Those handled by the writer
were beautiful diaphanous creatures,
clear and jellylilIc. The color was sill.

The Iard.worl.ins Human Hear,

Some one with an aptitude for stats.
tics has been doing little calculating
ON the subject OF the human heart and
its activities. The normal heart, II ap-
pears. beats about scycnty-fivc times
In minute; SO that an hours record
would be something like 1920 beats.
Supposing that a man lived to be fifty.
his heart would have beaten 1882, i00,-
600 times. II son of this man, more
robust than his father, should Ill out
the scriptural allotment of threescore
years and ten, his heart beats would
number 2.Gi0.024. 900. 1t is easy'to un.
derstand. after such computation.
why this hard working servant c. tho
human bodies so frequently wears out.
