At one time it was widely credited that flying fish possessed the power to accelerate their passage through the air by flapping their "wings." as their enormously elongated pectoral fins are sometimes called. Had this been prov ed these fish would have actually shar ed with bats, birds and insects a pow er which has been denied to all other living creatures. But men of science are now agreed that the motion of the fins sometimes seen when the fish leaves the water is merely a continua tion of its swimming movement and In no way aids the passage of the fish through the air. The method of the fish's flight Is this: It rushes through the water at high speed, hurls itself into the atmosphere and, spreading its huge winglike fins, glides rapidly for ward until its momentum is exhausted. Then it drops back again into the wa ter. So great Is the impetus gained that these fish under favorable condl tions will "fly" for a distance of 500 feet. But when once the impetus is exhausted the fish is quite unable to sustain Itself in the air by muscular effort-Sr'entific American. Where the Joke Lay. He was an Englishman. taking a trip on a Welsh excursion steamboat, and he was watching a group of Welsh col Bers larking with one another, when they suddenly seized one of their com panions and swung him to and fro. The victim shrieked in terror as the ringleader shouted: "Now, boys, overboard with 'im" So real was the horror of the collier that the Englishman jumped up and interfered successfully. The collier picked himself up and backed to a safe seat next the Englishman, who sternly reproved him for uttering such nerve shattering cries. "It was only a joke, and you must have known it," he said. The collier wiped his forehead. "Iss, :f knowed famous It wass a joke," he retorted, "an' that's why I did screech blue murrdurr. Eu don't know the boys, surr. The joke with them wass to chuck me overboard. Thank eu kindly forr stoppin' 'em!"-Pear ' son's Weekly. Didn't Want to Tell. The late Professor Greene, author of Greene's Analysis and the English Grammar with which so many have wrestled in their school days, was one of the most genial and fatherly of men. During the later years of his life he was professor of mathematics and as tronomy in a New England college. There was in one of his classes a some what slow witted though studious young man, whom we will call Jones. On a certain occasion-after Jones had repeated carefully the text book state ments about the effects of the motions of the earth and was trying to remem ber what came next in the book the professor interposed with: "Were you ever In the shadow of the earth, Mr. Jones?" Jones (slowly)-No, sir. Professor-Where do you spend your nights, sir? Jones didn't want to tell.-Univer salist Leader. Banquets In Elizabeth's Time. .In Queen Elizabeth's time the first course of a banquet is given as wheat en fiummery, stewed broth or spinach broth, or smallage, gruel or hotch pot The second consisted of fish. among which are lampreys, poor John, stock fish and sturgeon, with side dishes of porpoise. The third course comprised quaking puddings, black puddings, bag puddings, white puddings and marrow~ puddings. Then came veal, beef, en pans, humble pie, mutton, marrow pas. ties, Scotch collops, wild fowl and game.

A singular story is told of a gallant cock whose moral influence at a crit- v ical moment during the battle of St. C \ incent helped to save a British man- f of-war from the hands of the enemy. 0 The fowl in question formed part of the live stock of the Marlborough. a a vessel which had suffered so severely that her captain was considering the v advisability of striking his flag. The 1E ship was entirely dismasted, while the chief officers had been carried below d severely wounded, and the crew, with- n out anybody to cheer them up. were g beginning to grow sullen under the heavy fire of the enemy, to which they v were hardly able to respond. At this u emergency a shot struck the coop in li which the fowls were confined. The p only surviving occupant, a cock, find- ( ing himself at liberty, fluttered up and perched himself on the stump of the mainmast and surveyed the scene of carnage around him. Then, flapping a his wings in defiance, he began to crow t vociferously. He was answered by s three hearty and exhilarating cheers s from the crew, who all had a good t laugh and, with spirits thus renewed, continued the action with a vigor that lasted until a turn in the battle res cued them from their tight position. London Chronicle. 7 Cigar Smoke. The stale smell of cigar smoke is peculiarly unpleasant and peculiarly difficult to get rid of. It clings to the s curtains and to most of the'rticles of v furniture which present any sort of an absorbent surface. It is not so to the 1 same extent with cigarettes or with f pipes. In the case even of a single s cigar books, papers and textiles reek of its stale flavor, and the room re- i quires abundant airing before that fla vor is completely eliminated. This ef- p feet, we are told, may be traced to the fact that a cigar produces pungent aromatic oils in greater abundance ? than a cigarette or a pipe. With the cigarette oils are probably burnt even if they are formed, while in the pipe a they condense in the. stem. In the l cigar they seem to be chiefly discarded Into the air. In the form of a cigar f tobacco would appear to produce more t - oils than in the form of a cigarette or when burnt in a pipe.-London Lan cet. Perry's Big Guns. Commodore Perry had not yet elec t trifled a grateful nation with his im mortal message, "We have met the en . emy, and they are ours." While the battle was in progress the sound of the guns was heard at Cleveland, a about sixty miles away -in a direct line I over the water. The few settlers there I were expecting the battle and listened with intense interest. i inally the sounds ceased. They waited for a re newal. None came; the lull was pain ful. Then they knew the battle was over; but the result-ah, that was the point One old fellow, who bad been lying flat with his ear to the ground, S soon settled that point Springing up, he clapped his hands and shouted: e "Thank God! They are whipped! They are whipped!" "How do you know?" the others In quir.ed. "Heard the big guns last!" Perry's guns were the heaviest Turning a Tight Screw. eAny one who has attempted to re move a very tight screw knows what a very difficult business it is. After tstraining and twisting for a con siderable time the operator frequent ly ends by losing his temper and destroying the bite of the screw, which remainsefixed as tightly as ever. With the aid of a pair of pinchers, how ever, the ad'air is quite a simple one. Place the screwdriver in position and then catch hold of the blade with the pinchers just above the head of the screw. Press the screwdriver firmly and at the same tinme twist round the tblade with the pinchers. The tightest screw will yield immediately to this sort of persuasion. Bird'Dogs. Bird dogs have been 'known as such for only about three or four centuries. So far as we know, the Duke of North umberland, sixteenth century,..vas the dfirst trainer of bird dogs.
