A Queer Fish.

One of the queerest of odd creatures
Is the mud skipper, or jumping fish,
which inhabits the large rivers Of In
dia and the neighboring seacoasts. At
ebb tide these little fishes leave the
water to hunt for tiny crabs, flies. etc.
and their strong pectoral and yentral
fins, aided by their tail, enable them
to move about easily and to climb upon
trees, grass and leaves
With their huge eyes, seeming to pro
ject far out OF their sockets, they can
see as well on land as in the water

Many Uses of Graphite.

Few people begin to realize the range
Of uses to which graphite is put, says
the Scientific American, for it is an
essential though minor ingredient in a
great number of unsupported connec
tons as common as that OF lead pen
ellis. With many of these the graphite
man is himself unfamiliar, beyond the
simple fact that this or that manufac-
turer purchases from him, for in such
uses it is apt to represent part of a
secret process
Lead pencils, lubricants, electrical
conductors and black polishes and
paints are prominent conventional uses,
but it is liable to be present pretty
much anywhere that anti-friction, un-
fading blackness, heat resistance, elec
trieal conductiyity or noncorrosiveness
is desirable property. and the fact
that without graphite the derby hat, as
We know it could not be, is an exam
pie of its Importance as an incidental
ingredient
