rish gentleman, who had married a poor Swiss
girl, was stolen as an infant by some of her mother's relatives. The
child having died, they afterwards for the sake of gain substitute
another child for it, and the changeling, after becoming a clever
modeller of clay images, is suddenly transferred to the position of a
rich heiress. She develops into a good and accomplished woman, and

gained too much love and devotion to be really a sufferer by the
surrender of her estates.

Giannetta is a true heroine--warm-hearted,

"No better book could be selected for a young

brightest and noblest traits in the female
character."--_Schoolmistress._

information.

Professor Von Schalckenberg constructs a gigantic and wonderful ship,
appropriately named the _Flying Fish_, which is capable of navigating
not only the higher reaches of the atmosphere, but also the extremest
depths of ocean; and in her the four adventurers make a voyage to the
North Pole, and to a hitherto unexplored portion of Central Africa.

"The _Flying Fish_, that marvellous achievement of
