and laugh heartily over the mystifica-
tion they had occasioned.
"On one occasion, to give you an
illustration of hie patience and fore-
thought, he was in a popular resort
in a big city and chanced to notice
a bank book lying on a desk behind
the cigar counter. The cover bore a
printed number; whieh was in plain
sight, and when he got outside Herr-
mann made a memorandum of it in
hie notebook, together with the ad-
dreEss of the • place, There was not
more than one chance in a hundred
that the information would ever be
of any service to him and he simpiY
filed it away, so to speale for possible
future reference.
"Well; fully six months afterward,
when he was playing a return date in
the city, he piloted a party of friends
one day into thie identical resort, and
the proprietor, who was present. was
called up and introduced. All heeds
sat down at a table, and, as usual.
• Herrmann, was urged to give an ex-
ample of his skill. Be performed
several neat tricks and, remarking
that he would wind up witts a little
exhibition of mind reading, asked the
proprietor to think of eorne number
that could afterward be verified.
'Take the number of your bank book/
• he suggested, 'if you remember what
ft is.' 'I don't recall itoffhand, hut
I can easily find out,' said the pro-
prietor, and going over to his safe, he
unlocked an inside compartment and
ptivately inapeeted the book. "All
fight,' he said .when he returned to
she table; 1 am. thinking of the num-
ber now.
"Herrmann took him by the hand,
iooked him in the eyes in his peculiar-
ly impressive fashion and said, 'The
number is 129,068.' 'That's right!'
tasped the safe proprietor in an awe-
struck voice. He was absolutely
ttupefied with amazement, and so, for
dial matter,were the others in the
party, The feet that the book had
Seen locked in the safe and the ap-
parent impossibility of Herrmann
knowing anything about it in ad-
vance made the featseem almost
miraculous,"
Why Fishes Are Slippery.
Fish of almost every sort are when
fresh caught slippery and hard to
hold. This slipperiness is due to a
sort of mucus exuding through the
scales and is of the greatest import-
ance to all finny. creatures. One of
the important functions of the fish'e
slimy coating is to protect it from the
attaelts of fungus, a form of plant life
• found in all waters, salt and bean
foul and pure. If the fish is so in-
jured that some spot becomes uncov-
ered by the slime, a• barely visible
fungus will he libeler to lodge there,.
and when it is once lodged the pro-
cess of its reproduction is very rapid.
It soon extends over the gills and
kills the fish. The primary purpose
of the slime Of the tieh is to reduce
in friction when in motion through
the water and increase in speed. It
also serves as a cushion to the scales.
which it thus protects from many in-
juries. • •

Phenomena Allied to Lightning.
Subterranean thunders have occa-
sionally been heard preparatory to an
aerial ernption. The sea' has east up
volumes of water, as if volcanoes
were exploding below. The ground
has burst open and 'floods 0.1 water
have gushed forth from the sides of '
fulls or from fissures in the rooks,
Taking another dais of effects, cures
have been performed by lightning -
gouty men have been enahlerto walk
freely, epileptic persons have been
healed, amaurosis has been removed
and rheumatism dispelled by a flash.
But one dare not look too closely
into the subject of medical electricity
nor venture to recommend any one to
tempt lightning in the hope of experi-
encing its curative effects.
