Its pupils are capable of great er expansl .n than those of man's or of almost any other animal, thus ad mitting more light, tfhc cut uses Its whiskers for feelers In the dark. Its sure-footedness is a great help to It So It gets along better In the dark than most animals. The belief that It can see by night with the sainS de gree of clearness as by day Is, how ever erroneous. i China'.* Water ?Transportation. - On the rivers, streams or canals of China transportation and postal facili ties depc' il cm the sampans. Women, as well as lion, operate them all day and the prehensile foot renders their task much easier. Every Chinese post man, lying on his boat, steers with his hands and rows with his toes, He holds the o: r strongly between the great toe nd the otl">rs and gives a ylg ?-ns motion to the boat by the poTreifu! action of the leg muscles. Fish Eat Other Fish. When a codllsh eats It takes an oys ter In Its mouth, cracks the shell, di gests the meat and ejects the shell. Crabs crack the shells of their smaller neighbors and suck out the meat. This accounts for the mounds of shells which ase found beneath the waves. And, as further Illustrating the con stant destruction going on in tho ocean's depth. It Is said that If a ship * sinks at ?ea it will be eaten Ity the fish with toe exception of its metal portions.

Previous to Its J being put through, the Hoosac tun- | net on the El'chhurg division of the Boston & Main j railroad, -1% miles In length, was we longest tunnel In An V 'a. Mi lion and Italy. How delightful was Italy to Milton! His Allegro and Penseroso show that he could fully appreciate both Its mirth and Its majesty. He returns not the less to lire out a career of lllus trious Berrien In his own country, j where his brare heart mil philosophic mind were of more avail to his time \ than even his sacred song to ours.? i Julia Ward Howe. * Submarine Coal Mines. There are many subma*i..e coal de posits off the British Isles, but so far i hey are not much worked. The tun nels of the mines at Whitehaven ex lend some four miles from shore under 'lie Irish sea, however, and there also Is some submarine coal mining at "'.olnesa near the Firth of Forth and ut MonkwearmantU In Durham.
