ton of gray silk with white trim

disposition of this fair lady. We can
only say that to know her Is to love

in the wilds OF Australia a genuine

upas tree. with its deadly odor: the
man-eating tree, whose limbs
stretched forth to grasp and draw
into a fatal embrace the unwary vic
tim, and the balloon tree. which when
loosened from the restraint of all at
tenuated roots arose in air and scared
away above the trackless wilds. But

Do FISH REALLY FLY7
OPINIONS OF EXPERTS DIFFER
one Says Fins Simply Act a. Aero
planes-Another Claims That
They Move Swiftly as Winas.

Two papers on the eternal flying hsh
problem have appeared almost simul-
taneOusly. and express widely diverse
views, says the London Field.
In the one published in the Jahrbuch
OF tho Austrian geological survey. Dr..
Abel, after describing the various
kinds OF fossil flying fish. concludes
that neither the typical flying fish or
the flying gunards ever use their pect-
toral fms as active organs of flight.
On the contrary. the initial impetus by
means OF which these fishes arc
launched into the air is due entirely to
powerful. screw-like movements OF tEe
tail fin. and this Impetus is sufficient
70 carry them to the end of their jour
ney, the wings acting merely as par
achutes. In other words the flight is
precisely similar 10 that OF fat stone
when thrown up so as TO ricochet from
the points whore it touches the water
till it finally falls.
In the second paper. published in
the January number of the Annals and
Magazine OF Natural history, the au-
thor. Col. c. d. Durnford, takes the
precisely opposite view. maintaining,
on mechanical grounds. that the aero
plate theory, as the above may be

sibility. owing to the fact that the
wing surface is far too small in pro
portion to the size and weight of the
body 10 sustain the fish during lis
long fight.
This being admitted, the only alter
native is TO suppose that the wings
are moved with an exceedingly rapid
yibratory motion throughout the whole
flight and are thus. after the first in
itial impetus. the propelling power
The author further maintains that the
wing movements which MANY observ'
ers have noticed when a flying fish
touches a wave are not movements de
novO. but merely such slowing down
OF the continuous rapid vibrations as
to render them visible to the eye. II
Col Durnford's mechanical data are
trust worthy-as they seem to be-his
cas-" appears to be proved.
The next point. however. TO ascer
tain is whether the muscles which
work the pectoral fins of flying fish
are really capable of imparting &c
them the power of maintaining those
rapid and continuous vibrations which
are the essential part of the new the
