FACTS RELATING TO NATURAL HISTORY. 



Frozen Fish. — If fishes be placed alive upon ice, or among snow, so as to 

 freeze immediately, although apparently dead, and so stiff as to break short upon 

 trying to bend them, they may again be brought to perform all their animal motions. 

 The Dutch say, you may keep fish frozen and seemingly dead for many weeks, and 

 when you want to recover them, put them into cold water, or into an air where it 

 barely thaws, for if the water or air be warm, they will putrify. In some countries, 

 fish are carried from one pond to another in a tub of water which is sufficient to 

 become a solid mass of ice, when they may be transmitted with the greatest safety, 

 without being bruised against one another, or against the sides of the vessel. 



If a fish be suspended by threads attached to head and tail, in a horizontal 

 position in a vessel of water, and two or three tadpoles be introduced, a beautiful 

 skeleton will be the result in the course of a few hours. 



Place a piece of red silk about an inch in diameter, on a sheet of white paper, in 

 a strong light — look steadily upon it for a minute — then close your eyelids with your 

 hands, and a green spectrum will be seen in your eyes, resembling in form the red 

 silk. After some time the spectrum will disappear, and shortly re-appear, and this 

 alternately three or four times, till at length it vanishes,
