The leading magazines anil reviews, with one exception, and mam of the great newspapers entirely ignored Itie book, and everything at first w;is against its success. It created the mo.st .profound interest, however, among tnoe Who read it, and soon oecame uiiueu about. Considerable guessing was done to the real name of the author, among iiibse prominently named being Judge ,Tourgee, Mark Twain, T. V. Powderly 'Robert G. Ingersoll, Chauncey M. Do- iw, Benjamin P. Butler and others. The publishers, F. J. Schulto & Co., of .Chicago, now auuounco that Ignatius Donnelly, author of "Atlantis," "Itag- rok and "The Great Cryptogram," is io the author of "Caesar's Column." Mr. Donnelly escaped general suspicion ause his provions writings are more laKes. Often they may bo found lying dor mant beneath the "hard-baked crusts of the bottom of a tank, from which every drop of water has disappeared." Now, in theso fishes; it is clear breathing must bo largely suspended, and life goes on at very low pressuro, so to speak; but so long ns the mud is Boft enough, theso fishes can be seen to rise to the surface at Intervals to gulp in air. That is to say, when hard pressed for water, theso fishes havo devel oped a habit of using air taken directly from the atmosphero for the purpose of purifying their blood a function naturally carried on by their gills. They have con verted themselves, for the time being, into land-animals. Nor is this alL Theso "snake-headed" fishes of India, whilo en joying their ordinary lifoin tho water, are aro also seen to gulp down air from tho at mosphcro. Dr. Day tells us that this habit is to bo regularly observed in theso fishes. Ho adds tho interesting observation that if a net bo suspended below tho surface of tho water of tho vessel in which they aro con tained, so as to prevent tho fishes from ris ing to tho top of tho water to brcatho in tho air, they will actually perish and die by suf focation. Bo that just as ordinary fishes die suffocated out of the water, theso fishes perish from a like causo if thoy aro kopt In tho water. Another and nearly related division of fishes includes tho climbing perch of India and its neighbors. In 1797, one Daldorf, in a paper read before the Linntcan Socletjjof London, detailed tho fact that he had cap tured a climbing-perch (or Anabas) whilo tho fish was climbing a palm-tree growing near a pond. The fish had attained a height of five feet above tho water, and was proceeding to a higher level still. By aid of tho spines in front of its gill-covers, It held on to tho tree's bark. It then bent its tail, and inserted into tho bark its hinder tail-spines. Thus fixing tho hinder part of tho body as a kind of fulcrum or support, the fish then released its head, and made further ascent by straightening its body. In. the Malay tongue tho fish has been named the "trea-cllmber:" and it is known to walk, or rather to waddle, over tho land in search of fresh ponds and pools. Tho gills aro kept moist in Its land-journeys by a pe culiar arrangement of tho bones of tho head. Theso bones are greatly , twisted and contorted, and servo apparently either to retain moisturo for tho gills, "or to hold a supply of air sufficient for tho breathing operations of tho fish. But excelling in interest, even tho curious fishes just named, wo find tho Lepidosiren, or mud-fish, of the Amazon and Gambia rivers, and tho Coratodus, or "Barfamun da," of tho rivers of (Queensland. In most ordinary fishes, such as tho cod, salmon, herring, etc., an organ called tho air-bladder, swimming-bladder, or sound exists. Tho use of this organ, is apparently that of enabling the fish to rise or to sink in the water, by releasing" or compressing tho gases tho "sound" contains. This bladder varies very much in shape nnd conforma tion, and in some cases it is ncen to coinmu- etinguished by laborious industry and nf Hunt nr tun. Tn rt., nn -, de information than by tho qualities i gas contained in tho bladder is mostly nv to vo uiMo mu creator or romances oxygen, wnno in iresn-water llshcs much nitrogen with little oxygen and carbonic acid gas aro found. Theso cases appear to bo secreted or iormea dj tuo air-bladder itself. In some ordinary fishes, In which a dense network of blood-vessels exists in connection with tho air-bladder, wo may readily believe that this organ may assist m purifying tho blood. In certain fishes, however, not only does tho air-bladder become lung-llko In struct ure, but it also discharges the dutios of a lung, in that it receives impure or venous blood from tho body and returns it to tho body in a purified condition. Tho Ceratodus of Queensland has thus an air-bladder which is a true lung. It rises to tho sur face of tho water and fills this lung, then descends and remains below water until ho air it has inhaled has become ex hausted. Tho fish possesses also fully-developed gills, and wo may hold that these lins and Industry Dou't Always Win.

Indou Letter A TRAMP'S RIDE' OF TERROR' III CI ml mill Forlorn, He Slolo a Plucfl oil u Cow cute tier In Zero Weather. A poor, half starved tramp stole a rldo on tho cowcatcher of a Now York and New England railroad locomotive last Christ mas night, nnd ho is not likely soon to for got his trip. As Engineer Potter, of tho limited express, drove his long train from tho west nnd halted his panting engine nt' the station for a few minutes preparatory to beginning tho long run to Boston, a slight uinn, shabbily clad in a short, thin coat, light trousers, shoes and felt hat, came timidly across tho network of iron rails to his cab mid asked if ho might rido on tuu engine to Boston. "No," said tho engineer, "therulcsof tho road expressly forbid it." Then tho tramp wanted to get aboard tho baggage car, but Mr. Potter was not nt liberty to permit him to do so. He shivered and went away. Then tho locomotive bell clanged, tho passengers (who hud alighted and gone into the depot restaurant forsupper) hurriedly got nboard, and the train moved oil, quickening its speed rapidly. It was a still night, with the mercury almost at zero, and tho moon was very bright. The engineer let his steel horse go at the rate of more than fifty miles an hour, and, though all the Cab windows wero tightly shut, so cold was tho air that rushed Into tho engine thiit even tho en gineer and llreiuau felt chilly. As Putnam was passed the fireman fan cied he heard an untmunl sound nbove tho t'barlng of Hying wheels, and he hastily drew aside one s;ush in a cab window. Ho glanced along the curved sldo of the great boiler mid Instantly uttered a cry of aston ishment, llo s?a tho wretched tramp, who had bogged for a rldo nil Willimantlc, clinging like a fly to the froilt of tho en gine, and whoso face, now turned toward the Jlromau, was wlilto with hopeless ter ror. Ho was shaking like a leaf with tho trembling of thu locomotive, his clothes fluttering lu the hurricane like rush of thu engine, nnd it was evident to thu fireman, nt his first glance, that tho poor fellow could retain his grip on the engine only a few moments longer. Tho cry of tho llivmau brought Engineer Potter also to thu side of thu cab lu an in stant, and oven ns thu two muu stared at thu wretch, tossing on tho cowcatcher, tho latter niiulo a desperate effort to climb higher upon the pilot to thu hot engine front. In doing so hu grasped a live steam pipe. Tho pipe was blistering hot, but tho tramp dared not let go, for ho would havo f'.llen to tho loadbed or been ground under the great driving wheels. Still ho uttered no cry, though thu look of agony in his faco told what hosulTered. Tho train was still thundering on ntllfty miles an hour, and thu engineer daru uot apply tho brakes, for ho lcuuw thu sudden Jar and jolt that would te.siilt from that net would fling the wretch under tho wheels. Theru wits only ouu way In which the man could bo saved, a id Engineer Pot ter saw it at onco. Bo hu went out on tho locomotive, the ilrcman following htm. crawled along its side, and yelled to tho man to hold up Ids hand. Thu engineer then fairly pulled tho tramp, with the aid of the fireman, into tho cab. Tho man fell on the floor of tho cab completely exhaust ed. Hu received kind treatment) during the rivtt of tho rldo to Boston, In which city he was provided with food and lodging and medical attendance. Cor, Nuw York Sun. A Wuinmi on thn Indlun.
