THE WATER OFF LABRADOR. Curiously Disposed In Layers of Dif- ferent Temperatures. The Dominion Department of Fisher- fes has received a report from Mr. John Nielson, Superintendent of Fisheries, iving the result of a scientific study of fish life, together with the physics of the sea, along the Labrador coast, The first thing which attracted Mr, P Nelson's attention was the very: low ranges of the temperature of the waters along the Labrador coast, which do not exceed 164 degrees on the surface, even in the warmest days of summer. The arctic current seems to throw its cold waters with full force against the shores, as well as to a great distance out to sea, in deeper regions along the bottom. Another singular fact was that in sev- eral places along the coast there were Foi to be colder and warmer layers of water of various extent, between the up- per and lower strata of the sea. For instance, in one case the temperature at the bottom, in ninety fathoms, was found to be at the low point of 204 degrees, but it rose gradually to 34.7 degrees, and in sixty fathoms’ depth a layer of ice- cold water was struck having a tempera- ture of 80.5 degrees, and this extended to thirty fathoms from the surface, where of 34 degrees, and gradually became warmer as the surface was approached, Thus there are alternate layers of warm and cold water; ten fathoms bottom the water is warm enongh for codfish to live in, while below it is a ten- fathom deep layer, and above is a sixty- five-fathom deep layer containing ice cold water in which codfish would per- ish after a time, and this upper layer is even colder than the one close to bottom. It is a puzzling question when one asks whence come these alternate layers of temperature and ice-cold water. Mr. Neilson thinks the cold layer is ac- counted for by the action of the ice and the arctic current, the potent eldments which there control the climatic condi- tion of the waters, The origin of the warm layers is much more difficult to explain. Are these warm springs of water coming up from the bottom? Or, contrary Gulf Stream branch? Or does down from the north? Or, waters at the bottom, where throw out =a which have been warmed by the sun and have been poured into the seal are found to the extreme north of Labra- no fish could exist unless some submarine of the waters. are plying their trade further and further latitude reached the more abundant they find the fish. region, ,y waters. great importance to the fishermen who resort to these waters, and skillful fishermen often loose whole summer's voyage and waste their time by remaining ‘a they would nct think of attempting to fish mometers and understood how to use them. These instruments would at once indicate when the condition of waters was unfavorable for fishing, the temperature being such that no fish would resort to them, and fishermen would thus be warned to move to more favorable localities. The use of this in- strument, however, is unknown among the fishermen. Japanese Spaniel The newest thing in house pets is the Japanese Pug. So new is he, indeed, ionable, soft as silk.

An interesting story was lately un- race which have appeared in this city. According to the legend, to England, man took some of these dogs ing Charles and from them came the their own position to this day. There are several of these dogs now whom does not weigh more than three pounds, is fifteen Hous long, and worth fifteen hundred dollars, This little Japanese is one of the most intelligent of his race, affectionate, and exceedingly sensitive, He is also very active, and altogether? a most attractive pet—perhaps the ‘‘coming dog” about whom we have beard so much, He is dainty in taste, and delights to dine on tea-roses, but since at New York prices that would be rather extravagant, he will content himself with rice and chicken. have the softest of cushions, tho most comfortable ot quarters, and the best of care to flourish. Several of these dogs were on exhibition in the recent Dog Bhow.—[ Harper's Bazar, Turner are 450 coo ive building city of Phils A Stylish Horse Without Fars. #0pe of the most stylish driving horses in this city has no ears,” remarked Eugene Carter, of Omaha, toa friend at the Lindell. *‘I won't disclose the name of the owner, but the horse is driven on the boulevard every fine day for exer- cise. He can easily trot in 2:32 with- out & skip, and his disposition makes him one of the most valuable family horses in St. Louie. My brother raised the horse, When a colt the animal bad his ears frozen so badly that when the healing process set inthey sloughed off within an inch of the head. The colt was the most promising one in my brother Dan's stables, but the loss of his ears made him unsalable. Dan broke Lim three years ago, and he showed speed from the first trial. In less than six months he troted in 2:50, but the absence of ears placed a hoodoo upon his real value. Dan con- ceived the idea of a pair of artificial ears, and a skilled veterinary surgeon had them made and fitted them accurately to the stumps. They more than fulfilled expectations, for, fastened securely to his head by an elastic band, they defied the closest inspection, and had, when at. tached to the stumps, every motion made by a natural ear. A gentleman from St. Louis visiting asked what money it would take to buy bim. Dan asked a good sum. “I'll take him at that price if you will deliver him to me in 8t. Louis sound as be is to.day,” said the gentleman. «The bargain was cdenciuded and $200 was paid on the spot, the balance to be paid upon delivery. Dan was shippiog stock to this morket, aud the gelding made one of the next car load. I came with them and delivered the horse, re- ceiving the balance of the money. As the gentleman had been previously in- formed of the deformity, there was no kick, and the next day I saw the brown horse hitched to an elegant phaseton con- taining the gentleman's wife and two children. The horse could not be pur- chased to-day for $500."—3t. Louis Re- public. [tis as wicked not to do right as it isto de wrens.

It would not be matched, 1 think, in any superstitions among the North American savages, Pulolo, an old bag, was a Hawaiian sorceress, who claimed to have a spirit, known to the natives as Kiili- kina, “She lived on the island of Lauaii and held a kind of court where she received the natives, who resorted to her in im- plicit faith that she could deliver them from evil spirits.

The conversation was somewhat gen. eral, and the bagman, seeing an oppor- tunity for what he deemed raillery, said: “Monsieur, can you tell us the differ. You are evidently a learned man, and can certainly inform us.” After s momeat's thought the peelate answered, with perfect candor and good nature: question, perhaps, and yet I reslly can. not explain it.” “Not Then 1 will enlighten you,” ecoutinued the traveler, who by this time | had drawn the attention of the crowd. | ‘It is because an ass bears a cross upon | his back and the bishop on his breast.” This sally was received with roars of laughter, nobody as yet suspecting the | religious character of its objects “And now,” began the archbishop, still with perfect affability, ‘‘can you | tell me the difference between a com- | mercial traveler and an ass?” The drammer scratched bis head, snd finally replied he couldn't. *iNeither can 1.” mildly commented | his Grace, : The traveler station, got out at the next A Palr of Singular Animals, A cow belonging to Mr. Weatherby, a well-to-do stockman, of Manhattan, Kan, recently gave birth to a pair of singular animals, They resemble colts more than calves, although both possess rudimentary horns and the hoffs of cat. | tle, but in all other respects they seem to be young horses, having long, Jonive manes and the tails of colts, only these latter are unusually long and bushy.
