while lowering above them are watchful
gplls and man-of-war birds, ready to steal
them from the jaws of their enemies of
the sea.
In company with these fying-fsh may
often be seen white bodies, with long arms
and black eyes. They are flying -squids,
members of the cuttle-fish family, and
the famous bait of the Newfoundland cod
fishermen. On the Banks they are often
seen in vast shoals, and during storms tons
of them are thrown upon the shore. When
darling from wave to wave they resemble
silvery arrows, often rising and boarding
ships in their headlong flight. So valuable
are they for bait that four or five hundred
vessels at st. Pierre are engaged in catch
ing them by means of jiggers.
Many of the squid family leave the water
when pursued. Even the largest of them,
often forty or fifty feet long, have bsen
seen to rise ten or fifteen feet in the air,
and sail away as if propelled by some
mysterious force, their hideous arms drip
ping and glistenIng, They are certainly
the largest and strangest of the flyers
without wings.

Tie latest sensation and the biggest one
for st. Paul yet developed is the assurance
that the Rock Island railroad will
bald line directly to st. Paul from
Cannon Falls, coming in on the west side
under the bluffs, striking the river nearly
opposite the foot of Commercial street on
this side. The plan contsmplates a rail
road bridge across the Mississippi to land
on the east side about the foot of Com
mercih street, running thence out by the
Duluth machine shops to where it will
connect with the Northern Pacific tracks,
and thence passing on out to the Rice
Place union depot. 1t will also connect
with the present tracks of the Ainneapo-
lis & st. Louis Railroad company north of
Lake Como.
The bridge across the river will not be a
high bridge, but will be low one, only a
few feet above the highest high water
level, and will have a 400 foot draw, SO as
to afford ample facilities for the passage
of the largest steamboats, and wide fleets
of bargss. There will probably be wagon
road and foot walks to accommodate
travel The Illinois Central, now only
about 100 miles distant to its nearest point
in Iowa, will also push for West st. Paul,
and the Wabash is understood to be not far
behind in its plans for reaching this city.
Yhese three trunk lines are all coming,
and it will be a race to see which can get
here quickest and set possession of desira-
BILE yard AID track room. 1t has been
kept quiet while negotiations were in pro-
gress, and these great corporations did not
want the facts made public until they had
actually secured all they wanted. Indeed,
some of the officials who have been nego-
tiating still deny that any such plan is on
foot, and they will doubtless do as the
railroads did when we first made public
the Rice and other purchases
north of the city. They will contra
dict it and still go on buying.
1t is safe to rely on all three of the roads
named coming into the corporate limits of
this city within the year 1884 and the
Rock Island will have its trains running
hero before Christmas.
The Northern Pacific railroad was very
active in defeating the scheme for bridge
across the Mississippi at the foot of Broad
way and of course it was figuring for
the bridge farther east, viz: at the foot of
Commercial street and the motive became
transparent in the light of the project
disclosed above.
Well, st. Paul has room for all the trunk
lines that ran into the Northwest, and they
are coming.
As omnibuses and hacks back up to
passenger depot in Chicago to carry the
people off to the hetels and connecting
roads, SO will all the trunk lines of the
continent back up to the eastern terminus
of the Northern Pacific in st. Paul, to
carry away freight and passengers, and to
bring return loads to its continental

Fyying-FiSh.
[St. Nicholas for APRIL

In the sea there are three flyers
that really from the extent of their flights,
deserve the name. Those of our readers
who have been at sea, especially in the
South, may have seen the common flying
fish, with its brilliant blus-and-silver body
and lace-like, sheeny wings. From the
crest of a blue wave they dart, singly OF in
focks, futtering along, rising and falling,
turning in curves, and returning to the
water with splash-perhaps to fall VIC
tim to some watchful bonito Tor dolphin
that has been closely following them
beneath the water. These priva-
teers of the sea are their
greatest enemies, as they rise in the air
following them under water, and emerging
just in time to catch the luckIess flyers as
they descend. The dolphins will take
great leaps of twenty or thirty feet in fol-
lowing the poor flying fish, which, notwith-
standing their long wings and wonderful
powers, often fall victims to their tireless
pursuers. They frequently fly aboard
vessels at night. perhaps attracted by the
lights, or, it may be, caught up by the
wind from the crest of some curling wave,
and carried high in air against the
sails.
The gurnard, though it has also long,
wing-like fins, presents otherwise totally
different appearance. Its head is incIosed
in bony armor, from which project two
sharp spines. Some of these fish are of a
rich pink color, while others are notified
with red, yellow, and blue, and as they fly
along over the water, and the sunlight falls
upon their glittering scales, they seem to
glow with golden luster. With such hard
hea ls, it will not be surprising informa-
ION that they are dissgreeabls fellows to
come in contact with; at least, so thought
sailor who was standing at dusk upon
the quartsr-deck of a vessel, near one of
the West India islands. Suddenly he found
himself lying upon his back, knocked over
by monster gurnard that, with scere of
others, had darted from the water, this one
striking the man fairly in the forehead.
The gurnards are also chased by dolphins,
and they are frequently seen to rise in
schools, to escape from the larger fish,
