TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT. January 1. BEAUTIFUL TROPICAL FISHES. ' ENGLISH AT FOREIGN HOTELS. Many Fine Jprclmrm Gathered is th« Bermadu for the Aqaark ams of Ail Lands. The collection of tropical fishes for various aquarium* throughout the world, and especially for the American aquarium», i* now a recognized in- diihtry in the Bermudas, says the Phil adelphia Pres*. It is carried on at all Reason«, though for obvious reasons the fish are shipped north only in the summer months. As there are more than 150 varieties of fi»h in Bermudan waters, and every variety is found in abun dance, it is not a difficult problem to secure good specimens. Only a few varieties reach this country, for the reason that tropical fish, as a rule, are unable to stand the trials of transportation. The ones on exhibi tion are the finest that ran be caught. The native fishermen go far and wide in search of specimens, for the aquarium will pay only for the best. Possibly the most voracious fish they have to deal with are the group ers and morays. The groupers have peculiar habits. During the month of .June, which is their spawning or “snapping” season, they gather at two spots on the south coast, known as “grouper grounds,” and rarely are caught elsewhere. Not many tropical fish are as fero cious as the moray, but most of the larger varieties are truly sporting fish. WORKING IN THE DARK. Dheomforti of Mining Before tbe In vention of n I.amp Snltnble for ln<li*rgrouud L’ae. The difficulties under which coal mining operations were carried on be fore the scientist Davy had invented his safety lamp must have been very great. In many mines the only al ternative the médiéval miner had to pitch darkness was the phosphores cent gleam from dried fish. The min er’s implements, originally of stone or hard oak, gradually improved; but he was forced to work in almost com plete darkness until Sir Humphrey Davy by his remarkable invention en abled him to light his way through the tunnels he had excavated with comparative safety, says a mining journal. Agricoin, an author who wrote about the middle of the sixteenth cen tury, has left an elaborate treatise on •oal mining ah it was practiced during the middle ages. From this we learn that the horsegin, which survives to the present day in some of the mining districts of Great Britain and north ern Europe, was the engine childly employed both for lifting t he coal and for getting rid of the water. This lat ter object was also sometimes effected by means of pumps turned by wind mills or by tunnels driven with great labor to an outlet at a lower level.

In one respect, at least, the persecu tion of the sutomobilists is indirectly serving a useful purpose, reports Lon don Truth. The majority of the vic tims belong to a class which has hith erto had little sympathy with the dis content of humbler folks at the quality of justices’ justice. Now that the wealthy motorist is coming into per sonal contact with this kind of justice he is beginning to revise his opinions He sees that policemen are capable of making grievous mistake* and even deliberate misstatements, and that magistrates often exhibit the gross est incompetence and allow their judg ments to be swayed by the most stupid prejudices. It then occurs to the motorist that poachers and other delinquents may sometimes have equally good cause to complain of police evidence and magis terial bias, and so he comes finally to the conclusion that the administra tion of the law by the Great (npaid is, after all, not undeserving of the con tumely that has so long been poured upon it. LINES IN MAPLEWOOD. Th« Only Way to Flad th« Blrd*«-*ye 1« to ( at lato the Tree. Nobody seems to know what cause it is which produces those delicate and beautiful lines in maple, known as bird’s-eye. Some people think they come from the hundreds of little branches which shoot out over the trunk of the tree as soon as a clearing is made around it. Expert timbermen say that is not the ease. The only way to tell a bird’s rye maple tree is to rut it. There arc no outward sign* by w hich one van judge. The Railroad Ga zette tells a story of the late George \l Pullman.

This is the same per- ique that has been grown by French men and Spaniards in Louisiana since before our revolutionary war. says the New York Herald. It is a jet black intensely strong tobacco, famous foi its flavor and its ability to wreck the nerve*. It is grown and made in St. James’ parish, Louisiana, and the crop only amounts to about 100,000 pound* a year. The makers follow the primitive processes which were in use 150 year» ago. The stems are taken from the leaves and the latter put into a box. under a heavy gradual pressure. Thi» causes the juice to run out, even through the wood of the boxes. A gradual process of fermentation and curing takes place. At the end of three moj^tfis the to bacco is rolled into “carrots” and wrapped in cloths, tightly bound with ropes. It is left in that way for a year before it is ready for market. The flavor of perique is considered delicious by all pipe smokers, but is too strong. The tendency of smoker.- is continually toward lighter and lighter tobacco, and perique is now used almost solely for mixing with very mild tobaccos to flavor it. A me r Iran« FnaeeU. L.

Many gems of the curious English of foreign hotel keepers have been given to the public. Among the beat, says Stray Stories, is the tale of the host of a well-known establish rnent in Greece, who was wont to greet his guests in an effusive man ner with: “What you prefars--a bif- tek or a chick-hen?” Their astonishment at the mastery of the language was frequently deepened when, upon their return to the hotel a few hours later, they found nothing prepared. It wa* his only English sentence, and he did not understand a word of it. This, however, is not quite equal to the placard in the possession of a naval officer just returned from Egypt. He procured it at a cafe chnntant in Alexandria. It was print ed in several languages, and this is the English part: “Every of the «on- summations of the coldness, one piastre besides. Every of the claim to be addressed directly of the direc tion. During of the repetitions the price of consummations to be the same that in «very the other’s cof fee.” With the aid of the parallel pas sages in other languages the mean ing is found as follows: “All iced drinks one piastre extra.
