This Fish Shoots.

The jaculator fish, which is found in the lakes of Java, uses its month as a quirt, and is a good marksman. If a stake or pole is put in the water with the end projecting three feet above the surface, and

a beetle or fly is found on the top of the polt, the water will soon be swarming with tinny gunners. Presently one comes to the surface, observes its prey, and measures 4 its distance. Then it screws its mouth into a very funny shape, discharges a stream of water, and knocks the fly or beetle into the water, where it is instantly devoured by the successful shooter or some of its hungry companions.

Writing on February 9th, 1903, Mr Rodgers observes: I feel it my duty to bring to public notice the benefit. I have received by using Moth-TAVE always on hand an enormous Stock of Indian, Chinese and er Seigel's Curative Syrup. Five years ago I was stricken down with rheumatic fever, and was at Japanese SILKS and GOODS made thereof tened by three diferent doctors; but their suitable for Ladies and Gentlemen; Cash- mere Shawls; Oriental and Egyptian united efforts did me little or no good, and my condition was for a long time very precarious, embroideries; Rugs; Persian and Indian It was then that a friend advised me to try Sei- Carpets; Jewelry; Maltese Lace Articles ;

Grass Cloth Embroidered Goods, gel's Syrup, and I resolved to accept bis advice. I was delighted to find myself very soon able to walk about as usual, and after taking only three. Lottles of the medicine I was capable of resum- ing my business.

In July, 1900, I experienced another and a inore serious trouble. It was found that I was suffering from a very weak chest. A doctor whom 1 consalted told me plainly that he feared 1 was consumptive, and ordered me to come to South Africa. I entertained no doubt that I was far yone in consumption, having all the signs of 1bat disease, but especially an extremely weak chest and an everpresent feeling of weakness and languor.

Without being advised to do so, but with the recollection of the good that it had done me two -years before in curing me of another complaint, I had the happy insp ralion to try Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. The result exceeded my most sanguino expectations, and it was not long before I was as strong and healthy as any man cquid wish to be. I strongly recommend the use of hat medicine to all who suffer as I did, and for the sake of humanity would like my case to be known far and wide.* ·

Promise and performance are not quite the same thing, as many have discovered to their cost; but the people who have built high hopes apon that from which Mr Rodgers received so never yet known to be mach benefit were disappointed.

Hongkong Tides.

The tide table given below has been compiled at the Nautical Alpanac Office in London from the result of the analysis of observations taken by means of an au- tomatic tide-recording machine in the Wa- ter Police Basin at Tsim Sha Tsui during the years 1887-8-0.

The zero of the table corresponds with the zero of the soundings in the Admiralty Charts which has been found to be 4 feet 3 inches below mean sea level,

To obtain the depth of water on the tide gauge at the Victoria Naval Yard add 3 feet 4 inches, and on the gauge at Lamont Dock, Aberdeen, add 10 feet 6 inches to the height given in the table.
