Flying Fish.
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

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

A Famous Regiment.
It Is doubtful if any other one regi
ment furnished an equal number of
distinguished officers during the civil
war as did the Second United States
cavalry. Among the officers were Al
bert Sidney Johnston, colonel; Robert
E. Lee, lieutenant colonel; William J.
Hardee, brevet lieutenant colonel;
George H. Thomas. major. Iobert E
Lee and A. S. Johnston became gen
orals in the Confederate army, and
Hardee became lieutenant - general.
Thomas became a distinguished gen
eral in the Federal army. Among the
captains were Earl Van Dorn. E. Kir
by Smith and N. G. Evans, all of whom
became generals in the Confederate
army. 1. N. Palmer, George Stoneman
and R. W. Johnson held the same po
sitions in the Union army. Among the
subalterns John B. Hood, Charles W
Field, Chambliss and Phifer became
southern generals, and R. Garrard anc
others attained the same place In the
northern army. Captain Evans lefi
the United States' service before Col
onel Robert E. Lee did, and when they
parted at Fort Mason, Tex., Colone
Lee said: "I'm sorry to give you up
Evans. Don't know what may happen
before we meet again. Perhaps they'l
make you a general."
Helping Him Out.
Mr. Lord looked so grave one even
ing that his wife, a very young one
noticed it and asked what was the
matter.
"I suppose business is troubling you,'
she surmised shrewdly. "If you'vt
struck a snag, why don't you tell me
and perhaps I may be able to hell
you?"
After more affectionate adjuration
Lord admitted that his payroll bother
ed him.
"I've made it up as far as the work
men go." he said, "but if I pay th<
stenographer there won't be a penny
left for Davis and me. Davis says hi
can't stand that. He must have some
money this month."
Lord's wife was momentarily grave
then her face brightened.
"Why don't you give the stenogra
pher a month's vacation,*'she suggest
ed eagerly, "then divide what there i:
with Davis? It seems to me," judicial
ly, "that would ,be fair all round."

A Fowl That Won a Battle.
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.

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

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

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:

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.

Intelligible to me.
Finally one of the women scooped
p a double handful of the ever pres

laughter. The dust covered woman re

Kingston resounded with the mad
laughter. Tihe two women then closed
in on each other and proceeded to en
gage n a prolonged wrestle, which
resul-ted in both of them falling to the
ground, where they rolled over' and
over in a cloud of dust. and finally
stood upon their feet, facing each other

Cast Up by the Sea.
They What go down to the sea in
ships learn much of the mysteries of
ife. From the coast of Africa there'
traveled to Scarboro, Me., the painting
of an old time sea captain of that
town who long years ago was lost with
all on board his ship In the China seas.
The ship sailed from the" home port
with every prospect ot a successful
voyage, but she never returned to the
home land. Years went by and she
was given up as lost. ner name was
taken from the shipping list, and no
news of her came back .to the waiting
ones at home. Long afterward a pass
ig vessel picked up off the African
oast the portrait of'an American sea
captain such as the Chinese artists
paint, and on the back of the picture
were the captain's name and that of the
port from which he sailed. The paint
ing was forwarded to the little Amer
ian town, and it was found to be a
picture of the Scarboro sea captain'
master of the lost vessel that had left
the harbor so many years ago.-Kenlne
