The Herald, 1903-05-15, Page 5Another Fishing Fact, It was a • guest night at the club, and atom the gleam ii itreteher's eyes, we who knew hirn recognized. that be was. in that 'manor when a man can tell a 'ilsh- i1'ig story and actue' y 'believe it himself. It came sooner than we anticipated, however, owing to a remail: dropped by Padders during the second eoul'se, "Awfully woolly, this fish, don't you think 7" "It isn't 'as good as it might be," re- plied Stretcher,- And then, luinping et the opportunity, he continued: "That re- minds me of when I was sheep farming in Australia, some years ago—we had some fish once which were woolly with a vengeance." • "Worse 'than this?" asked Padders, "I'11 tell you all about it, and then you can judge for yourself," answered Stretcher. "I was farming a few thou- sand acres of the low lands which were watered by the Burrumudgee Riff er, and Was doing remarkably well. In fact, I should have made a fortune there if the infernal river had not taken it into its head to flood just about the lambing sea - 5011, "Nearly all my grass -land was covered with water, and for weeks we didn't see anything of our largest flock of sheep, and naturally enough came to the con - elusion that they were all destroyed. "One day the head -shepherd and I went out in a little punt that we'd knocked together, just to have a look round, and see if we could cateh some fish—for the hands at the station began to want a chapge of diet. "We caught a lot of blue fish and some bass, and then I got a bite that nearly jerked Inc out of the boat; but John, the Shepherd, lent me a hand, .and be-. tween us we pulled the beggar in—and he was the strangest looking fish that ever Pd seen. "However, there was a lot of him, and so we made our way back to the station, pleased at having done so well. "I needn't tell you that out in the back settlements, down below there, we didn't use to go in much for cooking. Our chef at that time was a native called Wa"ga, to whole we handed over our eater, with instructions to clean, and bake them in the ashes. "Later on the meal •was served up, and, of course, everyone wanted to have a. bit of the big fellow, so I served hint out accordingly. But before I'd helped half a dozen, 1. noticed that something was wrong. "'What's the natter, boys?' I en- quired. "'Well, boss;' answered old Steb, 'I've heard of woolly fish afore, but Pm blamed if I ever come across anything like this. L ool:e here!' And he held out on his fork at large piece of wooll "There was no mistaking it; so I set to work to inspect the remainder of our big fish, and I found that just inside the outer layer of scales it had a layer of wool for all the world like a sheep. "Of course I began to suspect the truth then—and, to cut a long story short, we found that the lambs that had just been born when the river flood- ed had adjusted themselves to circum- stances. "They'd grown fins instead of legs, gills in plaee of Iungs, and had acquired an outside skin of scales. "'There hadn't been time for the wool to disappear altogether, but no doubt , that would have happened in a few gen- erations—only, when the floods went down, of course their environment al- tered again, and they had to change hack once more. "No, I can't say that they were a suc- cess, for, as fish, they were very tallowy; and afterwards, when they resumed their proper shape, there was always a her- ringy flavor about the mutton." • THEE. lJ C= A Moonlight Pastel, interesting Item;. The moonlight fell full upon the green- sward of the park at Palen Beach, The greensward vats soft, however, and 11111 moonlight sustained no serious injtu•ies..

They were econo- mizing space in a painfully evident Mae - ma. atm voice of the youth lase and fell to the runsie of the .sea, and finally a staggered to its feet and remarked: "Winsome damsel, I atm In love. I Lave Arrived at this conclusion not hast- ily, but After careful introspection and experimentation, Since first I met you I have been troubled, my most alarming symptom. being an oohing void. Tonight the throbbing of that vacuum has been so strong that, I have been able to locate it in my heart." The voice of the youth choked with mingled emotion and tobacco, both of which he had been swallowing right Along. Spreading a handkerchief upon the ground, he fell upon his knees, sever- ing in his impetuosity the last bond of connection between his suspenders and his sky-blue trousers. "O.11, fairest of maids!" he pleaded, "enter now into that emptiness and 1111 it with thy light and lavender perfume." The fairest of maids smiled sadly and abruptly. Her face wore that far -away expression so. characteristic of Pike's Peak. Her mind was wandering down the dim corridors of memory and had far to go. Her silence had the delicate odor of pepsin guar. The youth pressed her for an answer until his arm ached with the exertion. Finally, after•consultin 'her notebook, she made reply: "At present I am heart -free. However, Jimmy Brown is scheduled for two weeks from next Monday; until then I am thine." As the fateful words fell from her lips the youth caught then before they hit the ground and pressed them to his bosom. The maid leaned over and plant- ed a kiss on his youthful brow, coyly re- moving her teeth as she did so. After regulating their hearts so as to run neck and neck, and combining their thoughts into one idea, they wandered out into the cold, unfeeling world, and naught could be 'heard in the palm - punctured atmosphere save the strident bazoo of the dyspeptic to alligator.— "J udge." The Englishman Impaled. War between the Scotch and the En- gliah i5 on once more. This time sword, and long bowe are not the iulplernents of yengeanee, but the pens of authors. Not long ago the publication of "The Un- speakable Scot" aroused rmteh resent- ment among the dwellers in Caledonia by its unjust criticism of the Scotch people. A counter -thrust has now ap- peared from the pen of Angus McNeill, entitled "The Egregious English." This is made up of scathing irony, sarcasm, criticism, and hypercriticism, directed against the English people and some of their customs and institutions. In brief, Mr. McNeill says England is decadent. Her men of business are "Wil- lie boys;" her journalists are tied to apron -strings; her employed men are ser- vile slaves; tier women ate as homely as Don Quixote's duenna, and with no re- deerning qualities of mince; her army is weighted down with commissioned -offi- cers, knowing well bow to climb the so- cial latiuer, but understanding nothing and Baring as much about how to scale a kopje; ,ler clergy are debased crea- tures, dishing up to a gluttonous public pabulum containing no ingredients of true religion or ethics; her politicians • are wire -pullers; her poets died long ago; and her fiction writers are skilled only in glossing over the vulgar orad pre- senting the manufacture to an undiscern- Some Letters of Recommenda- tion.

"Inquirer:" - 111:, Grobaut, professor of physiology in Paris, in describing the eilect of alcohol upon animals, says . that the successive stages of intoxication . tlu'ouglr which they pass are gaiety, sadness, solemnity, and a supreme intoxication which ends in death. Rabbits are very envious when under the influence of liquor, and a drunken kangaroo is brutally aggressive. "Fresh air tablets are a preparation( discovered by a French scientist,"• says. the "Medical Tithes," "It was while investigating acetylene that be discov- ered that he could combine certain ahenr- ieals into a tablet which, on laeing dropped into water, dissolved and gave forth pure oxygen. These tablets will be exceedingly useful in a closed . car- riage, a submarine boat, a mine, or any- where else where the air lees become vitiated." While Professor Cunningham lately ex- pressed the belief that there was -no authenticated instance of any human being ever exceeding the height of eight feet, an officer who took part in tha.Del- hi Durbar declares that the Maharajah of Kasipnir had in h:is retinue a. giant eight feet ten flinches high. "I' know," he writes, "it sounds iner(sdible, but I have actually seen him; and no long, overgrown slip of a Man, but excellently proportioned, though rather on the broad side." The March "Magazine of Art" has an interesting account of Bertram Hiles, the armless artist, with several reproductions of his works—one in color. Mr. Miles, it seems, nourished the desire to become an artist from 'his early childhood. At eight yeiu's of age, however, be was deprived of both his arias in a tramcar accident; at Bristol. But this did not cause him to abandon his intention, and he decided to fulfil it by learning to draw with his mouth. In sbec years from the date of the accident he bad acquired such facili- ty in this extraordinary method of work that he could accomplish with ease most things that we do with our hands. Marconi believes that a1: some future time—he will not fix a date for it— wireless telegraphy will become avail- able for domestic'and office use, thus performing the functions now allotted to the telephone. He has already made experiments which convince ]rim that it will be possible, with the aid of small models, or miniatures, of his sending ap- paratus, as now erected on as gigantic scale at I'oldhu and elsewhere, to trans- mit messages from the interior of rooms which can be received in other rooms in the same city, or in neighboring towns. The walls of the houses will form no ob- stacle, but one of the dhief problems will be that of a proper attuning of the in- struments to prevent interference of waves, and to secure privacy for the mes- sages. Poor Lo Snatched Baldheaded. Dr. David ,Starr Jordan, president of the Leland SStanford, Jr., University,w'ho bas recently discovered 0 number of new varieties of fish in the streams of Ha- waii and the Philippines, is a great eportsntan as well as a conseierttious ich- thyologist. As aright be expected, he uses the most approved of modern rods and ffies in fishing. "1 'bare met some fishermen, even among professional sportsiuen, who pre- fer old-faslhioned methods," said Dr. Jor- dan, "and though the .ancient story of the farnter's boy who catches flail with a, bent pin fastened to a piece of twine where full-rigged sports from the .city fail to get a bite borders on the mythi- ' cal, I have actually witnessed instances of success with back -number outfits where modern appliances failed to land the game. "One day in •C.alifornia T had had a re - Markable run of luck, and that night as we sat around the camp -fire I took occa- sion to say that my success was due to the superior tie of fires I had used. "'You may flatter yourself on the string you've brought in to -day,' said an old lislternian who laid joined our party, 'but let ate tell you, doctor, that I saw a Digger Indian catch snore fish in an hour in this stream than you've landed all day with your fine flies' "'What bait did the use?'

Almost upon the instant that this bait struek'bhe water a fish would leap for it. After landing hint the In- d]all would calmly repeat the perforrn- anee of snatching a hair from his head and affixing a fresh grasshopper to the Ii.00l:. "'I became fascinated,' continued the narrator. 'After the Indian had landed in quick succession a mighty string of salmon trout he suddenly stopped. I called to hint to go on with the exciting sport, but lie merely smiled grimly and pointed significantly to 'lis head.' "'What was the clatter with his head?' I asked," said Pr. Jordan.
