Prefers to Lie on the Mod or Sand
Instead ef the Water.

learned thet 05100101 species fush
aro grate at home out, of their na-
tive' element. The climbing perch
and the anng-fish are examples, In
the "Marvels of the Universes" Sir
11. H. Johnston describes another
"land the bonuni,
its i,caentific nle,me is periophthal-
mus. Englishmen in' West Africa
speak of 11 00 the "mad-skippor,"
but the nati-ves always' call this
curious fist) the bomini.
The bommi is it -member of the
geby family of marine or estueriel
fishes, most of which are remarka-
ble in one \yaw or another for their
fondatee for walking or jumping
over the ground, rather than get-
ting through the water by the use
of their fina. The bommi, indeed, is
fest becoming a land animal. It
takes to the water during the
breeding' -season, but at other times
it prefers to lie on the mud or sand,
or to climb the trunks of man-
groves or pandenus. However, it
always stays near the water; 'in
fact, it usually prefers to lie with
the end of its' tail in the vsarter. It
has been, eaid &et it can oxygenate
its blood through its very 'vascular
tail -fin, which thee replaces tbe
gills. That explanation, however,
hardly accounts, for the fact that,
the bommi often remains for long
periods of time on the trunk of a
tree a, long way from the water.
The traveller Pechue1-1,oesohe
writes of the bommi fish that he ob-
served on the, Loango coast: "By
bending 8,nd stretching their 'bodies
and sapporting themselves by the
tail and fins they advance inn, series
of very small hops. When they ere
basking in the mud, one of them
will .often give a sudden' joyful
jump; sometimes a whole ;wheel of
them will he jumping and , hopping
about itt play. I could never tab-
eerve just hew they climbed trees,
but suspect that they work upward
by using their fim and tail as arzueh
as t,hey use them on the ground.
• "They are very timid. At the
first approaeli of danger they raise
themselvea elightly by means of
their fins; et the next alarm they
duck flat, and then begin to hop
vigorously in the direction of the
water. When in full flight, their
jumps are often two, three or four
times the length of their own bod-
ice. In crossing shallow water,
they prefer to hop over it, instead
of swimming through it; a large
number of them passing over the
water in this way inakes it curious
splashing sound."
Like other members of the geby
family, the bomrai has turned its
fore fins into very ;serviceable aims,
with appendages that resemble
hands. But the alio() lhnba have
simply become a soet of pedestal
from which thc fish can leap, or
whichalie *en me as a kind of
sueicer in Climbing trees.
The -back fins can be erected, wad
on accouot of their 'spikes, act as a
alight protection. The creature's
real eaieguaed, however, lies in its
uneetable liesii, -which even the
abore-bierls seem to dislike.
The bemini is not in any Ina OA
the original line of ascent that was
followed by the -pristine types of
fish that gradually turned into am-
phibians, and from amphibians into
reptiles. 11 represents an indepen-
dent athenipt 031 the pert of it mod-
ern fish tso adopt it land life.

virulent denunciation of the. propo-

weed Watkin's scheme was`for the
time buried, but it was not deed.
It was brought forward again ia
1906 anti in 1907 and found some
friendt bet none of great impor-
tance who would go wholeheartedly
for it, end the London newspapers
where they were not hostile were
uncertain in tone.
Meanwhile French approval of
the echerue became practically un-
animous. The entente cordiale was
01 oouree used aa an argument in its,
favor, The main arguments, how-
ever, were purely econoraie,al.
The projeet for a tunnel is now
eeriously revived. The arguments
opposing it ere also revived. The
first one to -clay ie the cost, which
those who favor the plan estimate
at 880,000,000, while its opponents
say it might be mach more, and add
that it would not appeal to the or-
dinary inresting public in France
or England, Men ceraea the engi-
neering question. Great authorities
are dilitlecl on this point as to its
practicability, Thirdly, there is the
strathgic question. This is admit-
tedly not eo important as it was
thirty years ago, and to -day the
British War. Office and the Admir-
alty are not believed to be hostile
to the project.

clare that financiers are sufficiently
well disposed toward it be facilitate
