of the Commonwualtht
ODD USES FOR FISH.
One Makes a Good Barometer, Another
a Weathercock.
Fishes have boon jmt to many ijucer
uses while still alive, but probably the
strangest was that suggested to the
war department by an inventor. The
propulsion of submarine torpedoes wc.s
tho subject under discussion, and he
proposed that a shark be imprisoned
in u tube at the rent* end of the projec
tile, its movements to be controlled by
the active application of electricity.
In case the shark attempted to swim
away It was to be given an electric
shock and in this way kept on its
course until tho torpedo had reached
Its target.
Another remarkable use to which 4
iish has been put is as a barometer.
The leach is very susceptible to atmos
pheric changes, and when retained in
an aquarium is likely to throw itself
out at the approach of or during any
remarkable change of wind or weath
er, or if in a pond or stream will some
times jump on the bunk. It has been
kept alive in aquaria as a living ba
rometer from Hit! supposition that cer
tain movements indicate particular
ihanges that are about to occur in the
weather. In Russia the dead body of
Coitus gobio, t IK; miller's thumb, Is
used as a weathercock. Hung by a
single thread, it will point to the direc
tion whence tho wind blows.—Minne

MULES OF MEXICO.
They Are Even More Knowing Than
<sur Own Meek Brand.
"Everybody knows that all mules
are brainy, but the mules of old Mex
ico have something on other mules for
it sort of prescience of their own," said
a man who has spent many years in
the neighboring republic. "A Mexican
mule will do Just so much work and
not a blamed bit more.
"The riding mule, for instance, is
fully aware of the distance, down to a
rod, he is supposed and required to
traverse in the progress of one travel
ing day, and all Ihe sharp sticks or
goads or dynamite on earth won't get
him to do a bit more than what he
knows to be the correct distance. Tho
Mexicans have got a peculiar saying In
connection with this characteristic of
the Mexican mule. You ask a Mex
ican, for instance, how far it is by
mule back to such and such a point.
" 'Two days' journey If you are not
rushed, but three days If you are inn
| hurry,' the Mexican will reply.
! "His meaning is that if you don't
stsk more of your mule than you should
ask of him, the mule will be able to
make the trip in two days, iiut if you
attempt to drive the brute he'll soldier
on you, and in consequence the jour
ney will take you throe days."—Ex

The Deceased Wife's Sister.
! The law against marrying a deceased
wife's sister, which caused so much
discussion in England, grew out of
the ancient tribal law forbidding a fa
ther to sell more than one daughter to
the same man when the Briton was
emerging from polygamy and when
for 21 shillings of the present money
a man might dismiss his wife or kill
her if she would not go. As civil law
it was to protect the living wife and
knit tribes closer together by inter
marriage. When ecclesiastical law be
came supreme a misreading of some
Scripture text was used to put tlie
sister of a man's wife among the pro
hibited degrees of relationship. This
was the act. of 3541 (32 Henry VIII):
"A man may not marry his deceased
wife's sister or her daughter, but he
may marry his first cousin."—London
Standard.
Brittle Lizards.
Some kinds of lizards break in two
when suddenly startled. In the bush
in Australia the traveler often comes
across a number of these little silvery
reptiles basking 011 a log or piece of
old bark. As soon as they perceive
tho invader there is a great commotion.
They dart hither and thither so quick
ly that the eye can scarcely follow
their movements. The effects of the
shock are evident from the quantity of
wriggling tails lying about which have
been cast off in the luirry, while the
mutilated owners may be seen scurry
ing away to safety still wagging the
stumps that remain.
Density of City Population.
Although there Is a certain area of
aboilt. three and a half acres 011 Man
hattan Island where the density of
population is at the rate of <!30,000 to
the square mile, yet the city of Paris
shows a far greater average density
of population thaii New York, the fig
ures for Paris being 79,300 a square
mile and for New York city proper
40,000 a square mile. The average
density of London's population is 37,-
000 a square mile and that of Berlin
