Real Sea serpents.

In New Caledonia sea serpents are frequently es1 and sometimes cap tured. They are curious creatures, the head being very Smafl and scarcely dis tinguishable from the body and the tail being formed like an oar. In length they are generally between three and four feet. In the jaw there are tiny glapds containing noison, but as the mouth is very small it is difi- cult for them to bite, 1nd the natives handle them fearlessly. M. Keruogapt, a European traveller, witnessed an ex. pertinent at Eonnea which shows un- der certain conditions the sea serpent can do deadly work. A rat was caught in trap, and it's tongue was grasped by pair of pinchers and placed in the mouth of sea serpent. The serpent immediately bit 1t, and the rat died in four minutes.

How Turner Painted.

If we are to believe Thornbury, the wonderful Burning of the House of Lords and Commons'' was almost en- tirefy painted aftr the canvas was hung on the walls of the Royal acad- eny. So certain was Turner of him. self at that period that he wqlld send to the exhibition just laid in sketch, trusting entirely to vanishing days to complete the Sheme. He would arrive at the academy as early as o'clock in the morning and be among the last to leave in the evening.
 Unlike Lawrence, who had to step back constantly to judge of effects, Turner would work, so to say, with his nose tp the canvas. When Lord Hill at too close quarters looked at the houses of parliament picture he con- demned it as nothing but dabs.' Catching it's magical effect from just distance, however, be exclaimed en- thusiastically: ''PaiI1ting. God bless me! So it is!' According to Thorn bury, Turner made a number of sketches of the fire, but produced two pictures only.-London News.
