London. Dec. 29.-The whole Of the United
Kingdom. especially Scotland and the North OF
Ireland is in the grip of a blizzard of excep-
tional violence. 1t has ragged fer the last forty
eight hours accompanied by very low tempera-
ture and a driving wind, and has completely dis
organized the northern railway services and
caused suspension or delay to all streetcar trsf-
fc Many towns are isolated, and numerous &C
cidents and deaths from exposure have been re-
ported. There also have been several shipping
casualties, but fortunately these were not at

London is covered with a mantle Of snow sew

North Wales snowdrifts several feet IN depth

Channel passenger service and telegraph and
telephone lines in all directions have suspended
operations. and all outdoor labor has ceased.

Of cattle and sheep.

E,Yinn Fish.

Interesting are the habits of the fly. ing fish, that queer denizen of the sea found principally in the region of the trade winds. Does 1t rise from the sea like bird? you ask No. It shoots out of the waves like an arrow, and with outspreading wings sails on the wind in graceful curves, rising some times. one might say, to the height of fifteen feet, but not often so high, and then, lowering, it again touches the crest of a wave and renews It's flight. This operation may be repeated till 1t covers distance. say, of 300 yards In the case of the stoutest on the wing. though very often not half that dis tance Is covered. A ship sailing through the trade winds will often be visited on dark nights by flying fish which hit the sails or rigging and fall on deck, where of course they soon give up life.--St. Nicholas.

Mysterjous Green,

To those who believe in the influence of color the shades of green afford an interesting study. not only because of the large number of green things found In nature, but the scale of greens is so varied
 Green is. or was. the chosen color of Venus or the Scandinavian goddess Freya and should be worn upon Fri day. her name day.
 The color has always been consider ed mysterious in its influence. All green creatures, such as snakes or birds, are weird. and people with what are known as green hazel eyes need to be carefully considered. and among clairvoyants green stands for intellec- tual power. just as they speak of the "blue of peace. rose of love and scarlet of .tuper"

 In form and color 1t is like a repos- ing camel, while its interior, with its gray, weather beaten, almost perpen- dicular cliffs. recalls the Coliseum at Rome. Overhanging the southern land ing place stands a column of rock closely resembling a sentinel. which has been dedicated to the memory of Captain Cook The water of the is- land is of pale green hue. and any. thing dipped into 1t becomes of red brick color. The fumes of sulphur are always plainly perceptible.
 On fine moonlight night a wonder ful sight Is afforded to any one who will sit in an open boat in one of the lakes of the island.

Sponces Are Sunstruck.

The sponge being an animal, 1t is necessary to kill 1t. This is done by exposing it for several hours on the broad decks of the boats. In summer sponges soon die, but in winter take long time owing to weaker force of the sun. After death they are brought ashore and put in the cradles. These are inclosures made on the seashore by setting stakes little apart from each other. The ebb and flow of the tide wash the animal matter from the sponges, and the work is completed by manual labor. They are then taken to the packing house. graded. strung. baled and dispatched to their destIna- tion.-Pan Mall Gazette.

Bowhead Whale.
 "Of all the gourmets on land or water" said the captain, commend me to the grampus."
 The ladies at the captains table looked with inquiring smiles at the handso ne sailor.
 .'The grampus," lie went on, "ls a kind of overgrown shark or kind of undersized fighting whale. You can take your choice. At any rate, he is a terrible creature to meet with If you happen to be aquatic.
 "Ee and his mate travel together. Sometimes they have friend along big, fine, strong chap. as such friends usually are. And their game is the bowhead whale.
 When they find whale they go at him. They stick to him invincibly. They punch and thump till he Is as limp as rope of seaweed with ex- naustion. Then. by means of one hor- rible deed. they show their unexam. pied gluttony.
