STRANGE ATLANTIC FISH.

Lgantle Specimens That Were Sop. posed to Be Extinct Again Nuk- log Their Appearance.

Nearly 21 years ago, in May, 1879, Capt. Kirby, of Gloucester, Mass., in command of the schooner William V. Hutchins, was almost directly south of Nantucket seeking hake and cod, when his erew commenced to take great numbers of "a strange and handsomely colored fish." With the conservatism that marks fishermen, most of these strangers were thrown overboard, but Capt. Kirby kept a few and cooked them for his own table. He found it one of the finest fishes he bad ever eaten, and determined to keep all that were taken there- after, so when the schooner came in at Gloucester it brought some 2,000 pounds of the new fish. Messrs. Friend & Son bought the lot and dis- posed of their purchase in various ways. Capt. Kirby sent one of the fisb to the National museum, where Dr. G. Brown Goode and Dr. Tarle- ton H. Bean examined it and pro- nounced it a tile fisb, but a new genus and species. The fine appear- ance of the new fish, its delicious taste and bountiful abundance seemed to promise a valuable addition to our food products, and Prof. Baird. then United States commissioner of fish and fisheries, was much interested in this new factor in the resources of the sea.

Incandescent Lamps I'sed. What is the annual consumption of Inenodescent lamps in this country ? A recent statement placed the num- ber at 60,000,000, 'hnt this is'obviously much too high. The earefully prepared In 1880 the fisb commission steumer Fish Hawk was completed, and the scientifie exploration of the bottom life off our coasts was begin with facilities unattainable before, It was found that the coast fell awny gradu- ally until the water was about 100 fathoms deep, and then declined very suddenly. To use Prof. Verrill's words, the slope beyond the 100-fathom line estimate of the incandescent lamp business of the L'nitedl States for the year 1899, which appeared in the New Year's number of the Western Elec- trician, showed that the volume of business was $2,700,000. Assuming an average price as low ax 17 eents a lamp. the number produced is less than 16,000.000. Probably 15,000,000 is very near the exact figures representing the Is "usually as steep as the side of a [total output of the factories, Similar- great mountain chain aud about as ly the domestic output in 1895 was about 12.000,000 lamps.

They proved to he file fish, aud investigation showed that they covered an area 170 miles long and 23 miles wide. The fish com. mission chartered the sebooner Josie Reeves for an investigating tour, but the vessel returned without having taken a single specimen. This unpre. cedented destruction of animal life attracted wide attention among the newspapers and scientific journals, and from the data collected Capt. J. W.

In the list of extinet animals,

On February 8, 1597, the 75-ton sehooner Mabel Kenniston was over- takeo by a gale while on Georges bank and was blown about 120 miles to the westward. The exact position is uot kuown, but it was ahont. 140 miles southwest of No- Man's-Land, when haddock trawls were let down in 65 fathoms of water. Wben these were brought in, 30 tile fish, weighing from five to fifteen pounds each, were taken and were landed in Gloucester a few days later. Iu 1899 the fish were taken in con- siderahle numbers, and in 1809 tbey were almost as abundant as ever, many young specimens being found. This latter point is important, as in- licating that the fish are hreeding on their old ground and are not mere stragglers.

The extermination and re-establish- ment of the tile fish is of more than scientific interest. The fisheries are a source of great wealth to our coun- try, and everything that can throw light on them should be welcomed. The mysterious destruction of these fish points to a line of investigation that should be encouraged, in the hope that such catastrophe may be werted in the future .- Boston Tran- seript.

An Amerlenn Reporter.

They have a reporter on one of the Williamsburg papers who may not be much oo style, but for plactd, bervy "get there" he is a jewel. A little while ago he was assigned to a politi cal meeting and asked to give a good report of it. Now, it happened that the festivities were conducted entirely In Polish, a language of which the young man knows nothing. This fact. however, did not phase him . hit. Ile made his way through the hall, pushed up to the platform, and sat down with the' secretary. For several minutes he industriously took noles, and finally the secretary, turning to him. pumped out a volley of Polish.

"I am not io it, dear bny," retorted the young man, as he turned again to listen to the speaker. The secretary looked surprised. Finally he went out and brought in a man who asked in English:

"Are you a Polisb reporter ?" "Nope." was the reply. "I am an American one."

"Do you understand our language?" "I never beard it before," retorted the scribbler, "but I think I have picked up enough since I have been here to give a rattling good story.“

Taking Census In Porto Rico. The census enumerator's lot is not wholly happy, even in his and our own land: but compared with that of his brother official in Porto Rico, it is an enviable one. There he not infrequent- ly bas to invent or evolve Christian names for those who never had any. or who have forgotten them, if they ever had. And fancy his perplexity when, after asking a woman her age, he is told that so many years have elapsed since she "was pretty"-her particular age when her heauty was conspicuous being a matter of mere con- jecture. When the same query is pro- pounded to a man, it is usually fol- lowed by a perplexed grin. The omni- present small hoy is of course at hand on these occasions, and heholding bim, tbe relieved native will cheerfully aver, as he points toward him, that he "was as tall as that boy at the time of the 'San Filipe hurricane!' " Thus it hap- pens that in striving to attain approx. Imate correctness in statements of ages, the word "about" is in frequent use in the census records of Porto Rico. -Youth's Companion.

Mount Hope.

Bristol county, R. I., is noted as con- taining tbe eminence known as Mount Hope, which is celebrated as the resi- dence of King Philip, the last of the Wampancags, the Indian chief that carried a long and destructive war- fare with New England's early set- tlers. Philip signed a treaty with the Massachusetts Bay colony in 1671, in the old eburch at Taunton, hut the negotiations were abridged and fleree strife broke out in 1675 and lasted for some time. King Philip's wigwam was fixed near the brow of the hill. Irving wrote his biography, Southey perpet. uated bis memory in poetry, and For- rest portrayed him on the stage. Mount Hope is nearly opposite Fall River, Mass .- Detroit Free Press.

FIGHTING FOR A "ZOO."

Prof. Langley'a Persistent Efforts for the Preservation of Witd Ant- male at Washington.

Iu an illustrated article on "The No- tlonal 'Zoo' at Washington," Ernest Se- ton-Thompson, the author-artist, tells what hard work Prof. Langley had to do before congress would pass a bill to establish such an institution. in 1887. when the uewly -appointed secretary of the Smithsonian institution, Mr. S. 1 .. Langley, who, though an astronomer und a physiciat, had bren very strongly impressed by the fnet that all our Inrgest and moat interesting native an- imals were rapidly approaching ex- tinction, conceived the ilen of securing a tract of country, as primitive ns pos- aible, that it might be made a lasting city of refuge for the vanishing roces. This was the maiu iden when first Mr. Langley went before congress to urge the establishment of a National Zoolog. ical park.

In all ages it has been the custom of potentates to keep a collection of wild animals for their amusement, and the American people, being their own ruler, had numberless precedents be- fore thein when urged to make this much-needed collection of animals. In such a case the advantage of a monarchy is that only one man must be convinced, whereaa in a republic the consent of a majority of seventy mil- lions had to be obtained.

This took time. Fierce battles had to be fought with ignorant and captious politicians. One objected that he did not see why people should pay "to have the Nebraska elk and Florida alligator cooped up." If they had to spend mon-
