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.
AUTOCARS IN ENGLAND.
1« a Strict Enforce meal of th«
Law to Make <>wn«r« U«s«rd-
fnl of <Mh«ri.
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.

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. Many years ago hr was
offered a mahogany log for <3,000, to
be cut into \envers It was supposed
to be a very fine piece of wood. but this
could only be determined by cutting it.
lie declined the offer, but agreed to
take the log cut Into veneer* for what
it w as worth I he ow ner had it saw ed
and was paid $7,000 for his veneers
\nyone who can discover the secret
of determining the interior nature of
wood from the outside will have a for
tune.

and thus suffocating them. Then they
are gathered in baskets baked, sifted
to remove the wings, and finally
prvswd into cakes.

Thait 1« One of tlie Few Relics
All things considered, the biggest
baby among all the wild animals
owned by the New York Zoological so
ciety is an infant tnat is not an animal
at all, but a reptile—one of the herd of
testudo, or giant tortoises, natives of
the Galagapo» islands, says Woman’s
Home Companion. With his four com
panions he forms one of the few relic*
we have left to us of the life of the
Pleocene age; these tortoises are the
»ole survivors of the prehistoric rep
tiles. The young testudo is the small
est in the herd; he weighs only 66
pounds. His exact age is not positive
ly known, but it is variously estimated
that he must have seen from NO to 100
years. That seem* rather old for *
baby, but he is a child in arms com
pared with his relative—a testudo
vicinn who carries on her broad back
(it is four feet three inches by four
feet seven and one-half inches) the
weight of something over four cen
turies, and who tips the seal« at 325
pounds.

perique tobacco, chopped into granu
lated form, is displayed for use by
pipe smokers. 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.

Every telegram >ent from the public

sult of this condition and the inability
of foreigners residing in Turkey to
communicate with any certainty with

One sees only the appearances of

ing community. Despair would make
a blot upon it. Those who have lost
their fortunes disappear like magic,
and while the newspapers announce
on their first page, “Monsieur le Due
has left the azure coast and has re
turned to his sumptuous apart
ments,” the poor devil goes to con
ceal his shame in some little shanty

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

plaints should be made at the office.

the prices will be the same as those
