NESTS IN GULF WEED.
Breeding Place of the Flying Fish In
the Sargasso Sea.

Breeding Place of the Flying Fish In
the sargasso Sea.
In the middle Of the north Atlantic
fhere is an area of comparatively still
water almost equal to continental
Europe in extent and more or less
covered with floating seaweed. 1t was
known as the Mar de Sargaco to Co
fumbus and the early navigators and
Is the Sargasso sea Of modern geog-
xaphers.
The floating seaweed was formerly
supposed to have grown near the Ba-
hama and Florida shores and to have
drifted to its present position. 1t is
now, however, known to grow and
propagate itself where it is found. In
It are found globular masses of weed
containing fish eggs and known as fish
nests.
Investigations show that the floating
weed Of the Sargasso sea is the chosen
breeding place of species Of flying fish.
The eggs found in the nests were at
tributed to certain species Of fish found
resting on them, but careful examina-
ton Of the eggs shows that they really
belong to dying fish.
Apparently. however, the flying fish
do not make the nests themselves.
Each end of the egg of these fish is
furnished with punches of very long
Elementary tendrils, and by means of
these the finely divided branches of
the Sargassum weed have been caught
together in globular masses. The eggs
may be said to have made their own
nest-LondCn Field.

MoHAMMEDANS OF INDIA.

Superstition Seems to Govern Most Of
Their Actions.
Mohammedans of India are very
superstitious. No Mohammedan will
take a bath on Sunday or Tuesday
But If one bathes on Wednesday all
misfortunes and misery that are in
store for him till the next Wednesday
will be averted AS a rule. all Moham-
medans battle Oh Fridays before going
to perform the jumma prayers For
DOMINIC new clothes Saturday. Sunday
and Tuesday are regarded as bad days.
If any one dOns a new dress or puts
on a new cloth or allows his tailor tc
cut a piece of cloth on these days. he
will live q miserable life till that dress
If a shirt is torn and if the wearer
wants to stitch it. it must be taken off,
for if it is stitched while on the body
the person will soon die. A Moham-
medan viii never allow a barber to
come near him on Tuesdays. for Tues
days and Saturdays and Sundays are
bad days for shaving If absolutely
necessary he will get himself shaved
on Saturday or Sunday, but never on
Tuesday, as his star is supposed to fall
In blood if be does so. If one receives
money or some valuable thing. it is
taken with the right hand. for if it
is taken with the left the person re-
ceiving it is said to forget all about
it very sooD or to mislay it. A de-
vOut Mohammedan will not start on a
journey on Wednesday,. for it is be-
lieved he will never return home safe
ly if he does so. And it is said that
even a snake never ventures out of
its hole on this day.

Ministers Given Smoker.

Unique and novel among the many
pleasant social affairs which have been
given in this city recently, and occupying
a place by itself, was the smoker given
at Pythian Castle Hall Thursday night
by the churchmen of Jackson to their
fellow churchmen and the visiting clergy
of Mississippi. This entertainment was
an incident of the meeting here of the
ministers of the Episcopal Church who
form the c~onvocation of Jackson in the
half-yearly conference, and was devised
and planned by the rector of the local
parish, with the active assistance of
Chapter 1445 of the Brotherhood of st.
Andrew, and with the help of the ladies
of the parish was brought to a success
full termination. Smokers as happy and
geuial forms of entertainment are fire.
quent enough in all communities, but
those designed with the view of enter
tanning ministers of the gospel and with
the view of talking on missions, with
clergy and laity informally mixing to-
gether and exchanging views and expert
ences, are rare.
