The truth is, I had not touched the water,but just stood there and caugzht them out of the fog."” THE JUMPING FISH OF SIAM. From Two Years in the Jungle: We will never know the actual depth of the mud on that bank, but we sank into it to our knees al every step and were for- ate to stop atl that point. What a circus it must have been “for those who looked on! But in for a penny in for a pound, and bidding Francis to choose the largest fish when possible we went for them. There were probably about a dozen in sight, hopping spasmodically about or lying at reston the mud, but when we selected the nearest specimens and made for them they developed sur- prising encrgy and speed and made straight for their burrows, They pro- gressed by o series of rapid but” short, peated jumps, accomplished by bend- ing the hinder third of the body sharply around to the left, then straigitened it very suddenly, and at the same instant lifting the front rt of the body cle: the ground by means of the arm-lik pectoral fins, which aet like the front flip- pers of a sea-l These fins are almost ike arms in their structure and use, the bon ng of great length and thus giving the members great freedom of movement. Owing to the soft and yield- ing nature of the mud, the leaps were short, about six inches being the distance gained each time, but they were sorapid, the mud so very deep, and our progress s0 slow, the fi i 1ys suceeeded in ge ting into their holes before we could reach them, Their burrows were simply mud-holes, going straight down to a depth of three or four feet, large enough in diameter to admit of a man's arm easily, and of course, full of water. Al though the mud was soft, it was not sticky, and were able to use our hands for spades very effectually, By digging a big hole "two fect déep and standing on one’s head in the bottom of it we w able ch an arm down two feet furtl fish at the bottom of th Lucky it is for us that they had no sharp and poisonous spines, ll{l‘ the mudlafl, which stung me in Singapore, and paralyzed my right hand for some hours.

Herrings and ocher tish have sought death by rashing aehore in my riads: regiments of ants, by deliberately marching into streams; swarms of rets, by mugrating into the face of their deadly foes, and even es, by flying in immense clouds straight out sea. It would be interesting to’ learn the causes of the apparent wholesale and dehiberate self-destruction. I8 the act a purely con | scious one, or are the ereatures vietims of disease—mental or physical Fishermen Attacked by Eagles, When Farmer John Martin and his neighbor, Mr. Streeter, of Greece town- ship, near Rochester, N Y., went fishing at Long Pond last week they were amply ore it, but it was unable to swallow, aud provided with 1 appliances for captur g the pick el that Lie in wait among the lily pads of that famous fishing ground for the spoon hooks of anglers Iheir luck was phenomenal. Pickerel and bass of glorious dimensions took the lure in rapid suceession. A fow hours' fishing put them in possession of ‘enough fish to 'satisfy reasonable men, and they started to walk home. Their path led them through a picce of woods near the vond, and in going through it, at a glade, they were decidedly startiod by a sudden attack of two large birds, which flow at them viciously and compelled them to drop the fish and defend themselves. One of the men had a gafl or fish spear, and with it he struck at the birds, finally so disabling the wing of one of them that it could not fly or continue the attack. The loss of its mate cooled the cours of the other bird, and it flew away. Mr. Martin and his friend then approached the wounded bird, which proved to be an eagle, and found it tar from subdued, Its beak and talons were vigorously used, and it not until one of its eaptors held its head down with o stick while the other tied a piece of fish line around its hankerchief around its head ¢ up the struggle. The eagle, still alive, is now in_ My, Martin's posses: sion.Its injured wing is healing and its appetite appears to be unimpaired, for it casily eats two pounds of meat daily. Hogs that Oan Distinguish a Tune. Lyons (N. Y.) Republi rmer Wadsworth, of Wolcott, in this has a son Daniel who has for srked at home upon his father's He has a great love for domestic animals, and an unusual aptitude for winning their confidence and teaching them tricks. He has taught the horses, dogs and cats upon the farm scores of different tricks, and is well known in Wolcott and vicinity for his ability in this line. Several months ago Daniel heard the old-time saying t swine had noear for music. He was convineed that the snying was an unjust imputation upon o intelligence of those animals, and by nf.{ practice, coupled with rare patience, has during his leisure hours actually it the herd of s chstinguish the tuncof ** when they hearat. It is his y custom to go mto the lot where the swine feeding, and to whistle the old familiar tune, whereupon ever, hog will prick up his ear, 1d run to his side. A number of people are seeptical as to young Wads- worth’s lity to call up the beasts in the manner stated, but since he has put the animals on exhibition the experiment has never been known to fail.
