 Atavism In Dogs.

Dogs. probably the earliest of do- mesticated animals, when transferred to a tropical country, such as central Africa. lose in a few generations most of the characteristics they have ac- quired in Europe, and revert more and more to the type of the jackal and the wolf Then their ears, whatever their breed, tend to become pointed, their coats turn sandy or rufous and their bark becomes howl. Some attempt has been made to show that this Is the result of disease and resembles the effect Of malaria on the human constitution. Yet the Egyptian dog of pharaonic times possessed. as is seen by the monuments, these very char acteristics. and as he was certainly domesticated before the European ani- niai 1t is probable that these are orig inai features of the race.-New York Sum.

.teer Fish.

Which fish atye the power of float Ing and swimming back downward:
 This pt'c;:l!ar property is possess, Il only by the C.udon and the tetrod,lr. two ai.ltd families of tropical fishes which are pUpularly known as globe fish. The tetrodon is also found off the coasts of Cornwall and Ireland. The faculty is due to the fact that the skin on the abdomen of these fishes is much looser than it is on the back, and they have the power to infiate this loose skin by swallowing air through the gullet. This of course enables them to turn over at will, and, although the great French naturalist Cuvier did not believe that when in this position they could swim as they pleased. Darwin corrected him and proved that they could swim both forward and back ward in this position.
 It is of course well known that the shark and the dogfsh. owing to the peculiar position of the underjaw. are obliged to turn on their backs before they can seize their prey, and while in this position they are able to swim for very considerable distance. This. however, is done by the muscular force of the fins and tail and not through any special apparatus, such as the globefish possesses. 4 St. James Ga zntta
