JERSEY CITY. N. J. 
Sam Lovel’s Boy. 
By Rowland E. Robinson. Price, $1.26. 
Sam Lovel’s Boy is the fifth of the series of Danvis 
books. No one has pictured the New Englander with 
so much insight as has Mr. Robinson. Sam Lovel and 
Huldah are two of the characters of the earlier books 
in the series, and the boy is young Sam, their son, who 
grows up under the tuition of the coterie of friends that 
we know so well, becomes a man just at the time of the 
Civil War, and carries a musket in defense of what he 
believes to be the right.

streams. When the water becomes too foil 
the ceratodus goes to the top, and breathes aii 
with the aid of its lung. Sometimes lung-fisl 
inhabit swamps which become dry in the sum 
mer. The mud-fish then buries itself in th< 
mud, and there forms a chamber in which t( 
reside until the return of the water. While it 
this mud home it uses its lung to breathe with 
In this condition they can be dug up like po 
tatoes. The transparent little galaxia, sc 
numerous in the Yarra, has also been dug ui 
alive. These illustrations suffice to show tin 
evolutionary process whereby birds becom 
possessed of lungs as they gradually split u] 
and are changed from their fish-like ances 
tors. Many birds live a sub-aquatic existence 
such as our penguins, cormorants and othe 
species. The penguins in particular are ex 
tremely fish-like in their sub-aquatic move 
ments while in quest of their food. They swir 
under water with movements very similar t 
those of a fish. 
Both the male and female fish, as with birds 
take their turn at incubating the eggs. Som 
fish, with truly wonderful knowledge, knoi 
that it is necessary to supply the eggs wit 
oxygen, and, by means of a fanning motion c 
the fins and tail, they keep the water circulai 
ing through their eggs. The salmon, fc 
instance, makes a redd or nest of gravel, an 
when the female has deposited her eggs in thi 
trench-like nest, they are covered over light! 
with gravel just sufficient to protect them fror 
enemies, and to allow a complete aeratio 
necessary for the development of the eggs, 
counterpart of this peculiar nesting habit is t 
be found in the mound-building birds c 
Australia, such as the mallee fowl. Some fis 
incubate their eggs like the method adopted b 
brooding birds, and actually sit upon ther 
Some of the eggs deposited by fish, howeve 
have a hard shell, and it is not an uncommc 
occurrence to find the “mermaids’ pillboxes 
or egg shells of our skates, scattered along oi 
shores. 
The wings of birds and fins of fish are -af 
pendages of propulsion. In fishes, beside af 
ing their pasage through the water, they a 
as balancers. For instance, the lashing of tl 
tail and the twisting of the caudal fin serve tl 
purpose of sending a fish forward. The pe 
toral fins, the representatives of birds’ wing 
aid the fish in checking the forward moveme 
as well as helping it to back astern. They ah 
act as stearing gear to fish, but their main o 1 
ject is to balance the fish. If one of the pe 
toral or breast fins be removed, the fish los 
its balance. If both he lost, then it sinks dov 
at the head. If the back and stomach fins 1 
lost, the course becomes erratic. The loss 
all the fins causes the fish to float belly up. T 
pectoral fins are often used by such fish as t 
flying herring, common in north Australia 
waters, and also the flying gurnards, as par 
chute-like flight-structures enabling them 
take short flights through the air. Some 
the fins are used as arms for walking aboi. 
and even for climbing. In this state they a- 
the counterparts of the featherless wings 
nestlings, which crawl and walk about on 4 
fours, so to speak. The arm-like pectoral fi>
