Eyeless Fish that live In Hot Wstsr.

A most singular discovery was re.
Gently made in the Savage mine.
This is the finding Of living fish in
the water now flooding both tho
Savage and Hale and Norcross mines.
The fish found were five iu number,
and were bisted up the incline in the
large iron hoistiug tank and dumped
into the pump tank ut the bottom OF
the vertical shaft. The fishes are
only about three or four inches in
length. They are blood red in color.
The temperature of the water in
which they are found is 12s degrees
Observation-Disclosures scalding hot.
When the fish we're taken out.sf tho
hot water in which they were found.
and placed in bucket of cold wa
ter, for the purpose of being brought
to tho surface, they died almost in q
stautly. The cold water ut once
chilled their life blood.
In appearance the subterranean
members Of the fnney tribs some-
what resemble gold fish. They seem
lively and sportive enough while in
their native hot water, notwithstan.
ding the fact that they have no eyes
or even the rudiments Of eyes. The
water by which the mines are flooded
broke in at deapth of 1900 feet in
drift that was being pushed to the
northward in the Savage. IL rose
in tho mine-also in the Hale aud
Norcrose the two mines being con-
nected to the height Of 400 feet
that is, up to the 81 800 foot level.
This would seem to prove that q
great subterranean reservoir or lake
has been tapped, and from this lake
doubtless came the fish hoisted from
the mine.
Eyeless fishes are frequently found
in the lakes of largo caves, but wa

istence in either surface or sub.erran-

Mark Twnin's Bird of1nra.
diSc.

An article recently published in the
CDUrir brought up in party OF gentle
men, two of whom were Mcssrs. David
Dean and William Brown, Of Rails COun-
~, conversation in regard to the early
youth Of Sam Clemens MARK Twain.)
Several amusing anecdotes were related
about Mark when he was sumll boy,
among others the following:
Mark had u playmate aud chum, u boy
about his own age, named Napoleon Pa-
vcy, or for short, Pole Pavcy. One warm
Spring day the two boys having got II
holiday, Mark shoulderd i'm old ilint.lock
musket, and Pole an. old squirrel rifle
without any lock at all, which he carried
along, as lie sad, just for the looks of the
thing, and went duck.hunting over in
Sny Bottom. The boys hunted faith
fully ior several hours and succeeded in
killing chicken hawk and crow, after
which they commenced their homeward
march, not very proud Of their success, as
this region at that day aboundcd in
game. Finally Mark stopped suddenly,
us m idea struck him, and exclaimed:
See here, Pole, let's git up iarc--
what dye call itl A rare geological
specimen for the boss; you see he's got
great hankerin' after these things"
Wha,'s a rare geological specimen,
Mark" said Pole, as he opened wide bis
eyes.
Why, it's rare bird what amt nev.
cr been seen in these parts before; some
thing very uncommonliko," answered
Mark.
Where are you going to git her at,
Mark 2 We amt got nothing but this
old chicken-robber and egg.sucker, and
they amt u bit uncommon que ricd the
skcptical Pole
Wen git her up to order, Polc,' an.
swered Mark as he flung himself on the
green grass beneath giant old elm tree
The two boys went to work on their
rare geological" As Mark weuld
pluck feather from the tail OF the crow,
Pole would hand him corresponding
feather that had been taken from the tail
of the hawk, which Mark would careful
ly insert in the socket from which he had
Just pulled the crows feather And thus
after two hours of steady work, every
one of the hawks tail had been transfer
red to the crow, and it would have re-
quired careful examination TO have de-
'cctcd the fraud.
How is that for specimen, Pole y
said Nnrk, rs he adniringly exhibited
the retailcd crow to tue gaze Of his COM
panon, resplcndent in tho rich plumage
OF the chickcnent
She is sumner, Mark; regular
sumner. l guess they amt never seen Il
bird Ike TINT in Hannibal before
Tho hawk wns thrown away, and the
boys trudgcd Lomcward. BY the time
'hey arrived in town the blood of the
