Among the fishes which produce I'D
sesiye eggs are the little black head
minnow (Pimephales promelas) and the
goldfish. The male blackhead deposits
the fecundated eggs singly upon the
underside Of leaves of water plants
and watches them increasingly until
Matched. The eggs of the goldfish are
deposited singly upon the weeds and
MOSES in a similar manner by the
male fish. The eggs of the yellow perch
are held together in narrow strips or
ribbons of glutinous character. Ad-
hesive eggs of other species, as the
black bass. sunflsh, catfishes, etc, are
deposited in masses in shallow nests or
depressions on tile bottom, and still
other species deposit their spawn in
variously shaped adhesive masses upon
water plants. roots and submerged OBJ

Ebony was knox2 and highly es-
teemed by the ancieats as an article of
luxury and was used by them for a
variety of purposes.
In India it is said that it was en-
ploycd by kings for sccptcrs and also
for images. On account of its sup.
posed antagonism to poisons it wns
used largely for drinking cups.
The name ebony is given to the wood
OF several varieties of trees. All kinds
of ebony are distinguished for their
great density and dark color. The
wood in all varieties is heavier than
water. The heaviest varieties are the
darkest. The other grades require a
considerable amount of staining to
make them black.
Ebony is of 4 uniform color through
out and will not show any deteriora-
ton even from long continued use. Z.
There are three varieties Of ebony
well known in commerce. The ebony
from the Gaboon coast of Africa is the

The Wooina of the woodcoek.

The wooii,g of the woodcock is one
of those sights to witness which a
lover of nature in al its moods will
make Journey of miles. The scene is
enacted at twilight. and the setting is
of willow or alder bushes whose
branches are just beginning to show
the tender green of early spring. Sud-
denly from the damp ground IL bird
form shoots upward like some swamp
spirit until it is outlined against the
gray of the evening sky. Then it circles
above the branches. and the song of
the wooing begins. Hidden iii the
darkness of the thick lower growth is
the object TO which this love song is
directed The bird above circles per-
haps score of times, then drops back
to the damp thickct, making sound
which can be likened only to the drop
ping of water into a woodland pool.
Again the bird scars and circles, sing
ing still the love song. This is repeat
cd time after time until the last CLEAN
of light has faded and nights dark
ness comes down.
