Off the Guinea coast ships sometimes apL ar to float in milk. Extensive red I are also known to occur in the south Atlantic and south Pacific, which are caused by hosts of small red crustaee-. The "Vermilion sea” of Caliifornia owes its brilliant color to infusoria, Areas colored green have been noted, especially in the arctie regions, vhicli are due to myriads of diatoms, , n j in some portions of the antarctic es l . diatoms of rusty color make the water a dirty brown. Ho „ General Buller Lost a Horne. While in front of Petersburg General ljutier received information that his favorite horse, Almond Eye, had been accidentally killed by falling into a ravine. Upon the departure of his informant he ordered an Irish servant to so and skin him. "What, is Almond Eye dead? ’ asked rat. “What's that to you? Do as I bid you and ask no questions. i pat went about his business and in sa hour or two returned. “Will. I’tit. where have you been all this time:'’ sternly demanded the general. "Skinning the horse, yer honor.” I “Poes it take nearly two hours to penorm such an operation?” “No. yer honor, but then, you see, it M ck hint half an hour to catch him,” replied Pat. ( Gene;::! Butler cast upon his servant tach a i. ioelous look that Pat thought he meditated skinning an Irishman in jeviuge for the death of his horse. Voice of Butterti»e«. ' When our juniors see the common white cabbage and sulphur wing butterflies or even the superb Monarch and gorgeous Ajax swallowtails flitting through the fields- or at times city streets tin-;, perhaps never give thought to the fact that butterflies may be of pHnmercial value. But such is the ease. Some of our domestic butterlies on account of rarity more than beauty command prices from one to aeveral dollars, which collectors gladly pay to insure the completeness of their cabinets. I’.'g prices are paid for some »f the magniiieent butterflies of the pmiq-ho and papilio genera, which are hinbow hued in colors and span five feet in wines. These flourish in tropIcai •■‘iinurHand it is often necessary for museums to send out special expeditions for them. They range from llutoSlioin value.

A Gisrnntic Wooden Statue. In the Japanese capital there is a gigantic image of a woman, made of wood and plaster, dedicated to Hachiman, the v>d of war. In height it measures fifty-four feet, the head alone, which is reached by a winding stairway in the interior of the figure, being large enough to comfortably hold twenty persons. The figure holds a huge wooden sword in one hand, the blade of the weapon being twentyseven feet long, and a ball twelve feet In diameter in the other. Internally the model is fitted up with extraordinary anatomical arrangement which is suppose® to represent the different portions of the brain. A fine view of the country is obtained by looking through one of the eyes of the figure Japanese tradition says that during the time of the Teshomeng rebellion, in 1522, hundreds of cords of wood were piled around it and fired, but that the sacred object itself failed to bum or to even be scorched by the flames. THE PARSON BIRD. One of the Queer Feathered Inhabitant!* of New Zealand. Among the feathered inhabitants of New Zealand there is a bird called the parson bird, or tui. It is about the size and shape of a blackbird, but has a pair of delicata white tufts at its throat aud is a glossy dark green otherwise, which looks black in the sunlight. It can be taught to crow, to speak, to whistle tuues. and besides these tricks it has a repertory whict Is not often equaled by any othe! feathered songster. At vespers it has a note like the toll of ft bell or the cleat high note of an orsin. It can rnlml* every bird in the bush to perfection; il will break off in the middie of an exquisite melody and indulge in * strange medley of sounds which are impossible to describe, but if you can imagine “the combination of a cough, a laugh, a sneeze, with the smashing of a pane of Class,” it will be some approach to the Idea. The tui nests twice or thrice a year and has large families. Like the other birds of New Zealand, it seema to ba unconscious of danger from man. It la a pity that the birds of this Island are becoming so scarce, for they speak to us of a time when nature was harmless. when the snakes, tigers and fat eons did not exist.

Anti.inlty nt Wire. The manufacture of wire is of very ancient origin. It has been traced back to the earliest Egyptian history. Specimens are in existence which can b« proved to date to 1700 B. C. The Kensington museum has a specimen which was made in Minera 800 years B. C. Ancient literature contains many refer ences to wire. From the ruins of Her culaneutn metal heads have been ex> burned on which the hair is represented by wire. There is no question that this ancient wire was made by hammering out the metal, which was always bronze or of the precious group. This held true of all made previous to the fourteenth century, during which the process of forming wire by drawing or elongating the metal by forcing it through a conical orifice, made in some substance harder than the metal treat ed. was Invented. —Cassler's Magazine.
