Pets That Cannot walk.

In oriental countries it is customary
to. have valuable fish as household
pets, in the same way rs We have
cats and dogs. and in almost every
house in Japan one can find jars con
tanning some fine specimens. japanese
mobiles have large acquaria. in which
are TO be found species of odd and
curious fish that have been bred and
cultivated for the last 500 years and
more. In China the paradise fish is a
good example OF the result OF careful
cultivation, for II Is nowhere found In
wild state and is remarkable for It's
colors, which surpass in beauty those
OF any other fish extant. Another
household pet is the Chinese comet
goldfish, which is equipped with i'm
mense caudal fms that spread out like
sails when the creature is swimming.

BET FL NUT CHEWING.

Make hole just large enough to admit

possible without rupturing the she'll

PYTHONS AS PETS.

DR.. Mann, an enthusiastic lover OF

ly credited with.

REFLOATlNG A SHIP.
Ingenious Expedient Devised to save
the steamer FImvinn.

An ingenious expedient was devised
some years ago to retioat the steamer
Flavian, which struck on a ledge near
Cape Race. She was fixed i'm an awk-
ward position for tugs TO work at her,
and half her hull was submerged
II was In the late fall. and proper
salvage outfits could neither he obtain
ed from abroad i'm time nor used advan-
tageously, SO series of holes were cut
in her sides below the tween decks
and huge pitch pine logs passed
through these apcrtures Meanwhile
two cofferdams sixty feet long by
twelve wide and as many deep had
been built at st. Johns and, being
carefully calked. were towed TO the
scene and allowed to sink by opening
n valve, being then placed beneath the
logs which passed through the ship and
protruded on each side.
The water in them was next pumped
out, and as they rose they caught the
logs and fairly lifted the ship Off the
rocks, she being towed to st. Johns
with them upbearing her till permn-
nent repairs could be made. which in.

PROPERTIES OF GLYCERlN.
DscOmpsses II Heated intensely and
Crysta IIises II Frozen.


One OF the great advantages OF glyc-
erin i'm its chemical employment is the
fact that it neither freezes nor evap-
crates under any ordinary temperature.
No psrceptible loss by evaporation has
been detected at temperature less
than 200 degrees f., but If heated in
tensely il decomposes with smell
that few persons find themselves able
to endure. 1t burns with pale fame,

sugar candy, but these crystals being
once melted il In almost an lmpossi-

will take place, though under n suff-
Client degree OF cold the water will

INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.
bursting N strong Cask With HaIf q
Pint Of Water

That small quantity OF water say
half pint, ms be made to burst q
strong cask seems q startling state
ment TO make, and yet II is true. II Is
well known law Of physics that the
pressure exerted by liquids Increases
In proportion 10 their depth. Suppose.
therefore. that we have n strong cask
filled with water and standing on emf
The slaves OF this cask may be made to
burst apart by adding very small
quantity OF water TO what is already
In the cask. AS the cask Is already
full, some way OF adding the water
must be devised. To do this hole is
bored I'm the end or head OF the cask.
and a long tube OF small diameter Is
inserted upright At the upper end Of
the tube is u small funnel into which
water is poured until the tube becomes
full, and when that point is reached
the cask will burst.
This seems almost incredible. but
10 IL only demonstration OF the law
that has been cited. When the water
Is poured into the tube il unites with
the water In the cask, and the depth OF
the water Is several times as great as
that In the cask alone. The fact that
there Is only a small quantity OF water
I'm the tube makes no difference, for it
is now one body, and its depth Is gaug-
ed from the top Of the tube TO the bot
tom Of the cask.
As n matter Of fact, this experiment
is only an artificial reproduction OF
what we know takes place in nature.
Some Of her greatest commissions are
caused by this very process. Suppose,
for example, that there Is a great mass
Of rock, under which there Is a cavity
filed with water that has no outlet.
Suppose, moreover, that there Is
crack extending from the surface Of the
ground through this mass OF rock to
the water filed cavity underneath. A
rock in this condition Is common
thing In nature, the crack being caused
by some disturbance Of the earth or by
is splitting In the natural order OF
things. Now, when il rains enough to
al that crack, thus increasing the depth
,f the water In the cavity, the pressure
will become SO great that the rock will
DC torn into hundred fragments.
