4 cooijilgrabje gumbqr of fishes
»re remarkable i'or their leaping
powers, and several of these per
formers are on that account special
ly favore4: by apglers, since by jump
ing clear of the water, in some cases
many times in succession, they tax
the fisherman’s skill more severely
than fishes less active, and thereby
give added zest to their capture.
Members of the salmon family
are universally famous for their
high jumps. The sea trout, which
gladden Devon rivers under the
name of “harvest peal,” are untiring
acrobats, and a fish of a pound
weight will more than once jump
several times its own length out of
'water when hooked before coming
to the net. Unless the fisherman
responds by promptly lowering the
tip of bis rod, the fragile gut is like
ly to part, and as it is part of every
sportsman’s creed to appreciate bis
pastime in proportion to the diffi
culties it presents, the sen trout
stands high in the angler’s estima
tion.
This readiness to jump when
hooked distinguishes the lively
spring salmon from the more slug
gish run of an autumn fish, which
rarely clears the water in its efforts
to throw out the maddening hook.
Precisely why these October fish
should be less nimble than those of
March has never been satisfactorily
explained, but the higher tempera
ture of rivers in the fall of the
year may perhaps have something
to do with their conspicuous indo- j
lence. ]
At their best salmon can jump at
least ten feet above the surface, a !
feat achieved by slapping the water
with the powerful tail and Hexing
i the body until the head and tail all
! but meet.
The association of the maximum
| of vigor and activity in lishes with
ja low temperature enjoys wide ac
ceptance, but should be received
with caution in view of the fact that
nowhere perhaps in the world’s seas
arc jumping tisli more continually
in evidence than in the gulf of
Mexico.
The grandest of all these lea pel's
I is the tarpon, otherwise “silver
! king,” or “grand ocaille,” a monster
1 herring, which may measure six, or
[seven feet and weigh a couple of
| hundred pounds.—New York Telc
! gram.
Weighing Common Air.
The weight of air lias often been
I tested by compressing it in reeep
j tildes by the air pump. That it
I really lias weight when so eompross
i ed is shown by the fact that the
I weight of the vessels is increased
| slightly hv filling them with eoiii
; pressed air and that siieli vessels bc
i come specifically “lighter” as soon
las the air contained in them is ex
I huusted. Many elaborate experi
j nieiits on the weight of air have
I proved that the euliie foot weighs
| 53<! grains, or something less than
lone and a <|iiarter ounces. The
j above experiment on the weight of
j air is supposed to he made at the
|surface of tiie earth with llie tem
perature at 50 degrees F. llcalcd
air or air at high elevations is much
lighter. „ «•
Spoiled the Scene
Many years ago .Miss Kllen Terry
was playing Naomi in the “Green
Bushes” at an old Dublin theater,
and toward the end of the [Hay was
supposed to commit suicide by jump
ing into the river. One night, when
she reached the usual eminence of
rock to jump olf, she found to her
dismay that no mattress had been
placed in the “river” for her to fall
on, ro down she came on the hare I
hoards with a hard thud. Her con- j
fusion was intense, but it was in- i
creased tenfold when a voice from 1
the gallery sang out in a rich brogue:
“Oeh, he jabers, the water's frozen!” ,
This remark set the house in a roar |
and fairly spoiled Miss Terry’s sen- j
sational scene.—Telegraph.
The Admiral and the Rudder. ;
The Turkish navy is belter olli
cered nowadays than at the time j
of the Crimean war. Henry-Grevillc ;
notes in his diary on June 6, 185-1, j
meeting “Lord Carlisle, who is just i
returned front the east and told us a j
droll story of the admiral of the j
Turkish fleet. He was very seasick I
land ill -and :ohliged to go <to bed, 1
when, hearing a noise which dis- j
tnrbed him, he inquired whence it |
proceeded, and on being told it was I
the rudder of the ship, he desired it
flight he immediately taken off.” J
No Neo.d to Talk.
' “Does the lathy talk yet ?” asked j
a fviend of the family.
“No” replied the baby’s disgusted j
little brother; “the baby doesn’t !
peed to talk.”
“Doesn’t need to talk?”
“No. All the baby has to do is
to veil, and it gets everything there
is in tiie house that’s worth having.”

WONDERS OF THE KREMLIN.
; .• I
Clowning and burial PJaoa of th^ Czara 1
For Canturiaa.
The Kremlin in Moscow, like the
Forbidden City in Peking, is inclos
ed by a wall entirely independent of
that encircling the city, it marks
the part which escaped the great
conflagration when tho outlying dis- ,
tricts of Moscow were burned by the ,
Russians, who were besieged by Na- 1
poleon. The present wall replaced
one of oak—some 500 years ago—
which, like the Great wall of China,
was erected as a defense from the j
Tartars.
Within this inclosure are the im- j
perial palace, the treasury, the ar- :
senal and three cathedrals, which j
for centuries have respectively been j
the places of the crowning, the i
marrying and the burying of the .
czars of this great nation. The in- j
closure also contains a convent and :
many great monuments. On one
side, far below, flows the river .
Moskva, from which the city takes •
its name.- From the river’s opposite.;
bank the view of the splendor of j
this collection of buildings is unsur- ■
passed. ;
Probably nowhere in the world |
does an inclosure of the dimensions ;
of that described by the wall of the j
Kremlin contain precious stones ap- '
proximating the value of those dis- j
played here. It has been aptly stat- j
ed that they should not be counted j
by thousands, but measured by the
peck. To guard them 800 soldiers !
arc constantly in and around these
buildings.
The Ivan or uen tower is me
most conspicuous structure in the :
inelosure and contains thirty-six ,
hells, two of which are of silver, the j
largest of the collection weighing j
sixty-live tons.
This large bell seems to lose its ,
magnitude when we come to ex
amine the one resting on a stone .
foundation just outside the lower, !
which weighs 200 tons. It was
originally intended to hang within |
the walls, but soon after it was cast
a tire destroyed the building which
sheltered it* causing nine gaping
cracks and the displacement of a j
piece of the hell weighing nine tons.
Owing to this misfortune its tongue ;
has ever remained mute.
Not far from the hell tower ;
stands the arsenal, in front of which !
is a display of 850 bronze cannon, j
trophies captured from the Turks |
ami Erencli. Prominent among these
is the “great gun,” its mouth having
a diameter of three feet, surrounded ;
by so thin a shell that regard for
safety probably accounts for the I
fact that it, like the great hell, has i
never spoken. !
These two curios, coupled with
Moscow's prevalent paving material, 1
are spoken of as the three ancient
wonders of the city—“the heaviest
hell which never was rung, the lar
gest cannon which never was (ired
and tlie greatest amount of cobble- 1
stone pavement” (which ought to he
tired).—William Wisncr in National
Geographic Magazine.
A Murder Tip.
“Excuse me,” said the detective
as lie presented himself at the door ;
of the music academy, “hut 1 hope i
you’ll give me what information you
have and not make any fuss.”
“What do you mean?” was the in- ;
dignant inquiry.
“Why, that little alfair, you j
know.” |
“1 dou’t understand.'’
“Why, you see, we got a tip from j
the house next door that somebody i
here was murdering Richard Strauss, j
and the chief sent me down to work j
up the ease.”—London Mail.
—
Longest Straight Railroad.
The longest stretch of railway in
the world without a curve is in New
Zealand, where there is a line of
railway, a part of which stretches |
for a distance of 130 miles in a per- j
fectly straight line. This fact is !
remarkable when it is taken into j
consideration that New Zealand is;
one of the most difficult countries j
in the world for railway construe- i
tion, as it is very mountainous, ne- j
cessitating sharp curves and very ;
heavy grades.—Christian Herald.
Schopenhauer in Courage.
1 cannot well explain why cow
ardice seems contemptible an4 per
sonal courage a. noble and sublime
thing, for no lower point of view
enables me to see why a finite, indi
vidual who is everything to himself
—nay, who is himself even the very
fundamental condition of the exist
ence of the rest of the. world—
should n°t put his own preservation
above every other aim.
