Castro's Story of a Doo.

President Castro of Venezuela was
a close friend of the late William Pot
ter of Philadelphia, who had extensive
business interests in South America.
According to Mr. Potter, Castro is
very fond of animals, and imputes to
his pets the most remarkable quail
ties, telling of these qualities gravely,
though not expecting, perhaps, to be
altogether believed.
Il have a dog" President Castro
sometimes begins, "and one day
saw my dog carrying live hen care
fully in his mouth. l paused to see
what would happen The dog placed
the hen in his hut. and she immedi-
ately laid an egg there. He ate it, she
helped herself to the most delicate It'd
bits in his food tray, and few mo-
ments later departed Thereafter kept
my eye on them, and l ascertained
that the hen, whenever she had an
egg to lay, laid it invariably in my
dog'n hut. And he would eat her
graceful gift and ne would reward her
with her choice of all the viands on
his platter. When she died he was
inconsolable. New York Tribune.

Fishes Of Australia.

No fewer than sixty different FAM
lilies Of fishes. comprising 34S species,
frequent the waters of New South
Wales. The edible fishes comprise 1O3
different species. The .mackerel Is OBJ
tanned in enormous quantities off the
coast, and sometimes even in the har-
bors. During the season the Austria
liam waters TEEN with behring's, the
season of immigration being the last
six months Of the year. There are four
species, but two only are of CONNER
cial Importance. The most valuable Of
this family of fishes is the plichard.
The Australian plichard in fresh
state is equal in excellence to the At
lantic pilchard, and there is every rea-
SON to suppose that it can be obtained
in quantities sufficient to enable COM
petition to be entered into with the
bioater and sardine Of Europe.

One of the curiosities of Southern
England is the disappearing island OF
Derwentwater Lake. 1t rises in the
lake at intervals of q few years, and
after while disappears. Its height
above the surface of the water is not
more than few inches, and its area
varies from 4 few square feet to two
acres The phenomenon is accounted
for by the nature of the lake bottom,
which is Of peat, and the island is
really bIister-like upheaval Of tire
bottom The months of July and Au-
gust are the time when the phenome-
non Is most likely to occur, especially
when the weather has been very warm.
