THE STORY OF THE SALMON.
The Lecture of President Jordan, at Fletcher
Place Church Yesterday Afternoon.

The third of the series in the Penny Lecture
Course was given yesterday afternoon. at Fetch
place NJ e. Church, by President Jordan. of the
Indiana University. Prof Jordan chose for his
subject 1.-THE Story of a Salmon" which he rem
dered intensely interesting to his large and at
tentive audience. He prefaced his subject by
giving the reasons why he was detailed to
investigate the salmon question by the
government. Various and conflicting reports
had come from the mouth of the Columbia river
IN Oregon, to the effect that large numbers of
dog salmon had been found dead in the river
and these reports had induced the government
to send him to investigate the question.
The speaker then gave very minute account
Of the way in which salmon were bred, the fe-
male fish making hole in the sand. in which
she deposited her eggs, which. when together, re-
semble small orange globules. In the course of
time these eggs hatch out, and the school
OF fish thus bred turn their heads to
the mouth of the river, and drift with the
current into the ocean. When these fish be-
come two more years old they again enter the
river waters and work their way up toward the
head OF the stream, from whence they descend
again just after Matching. The speaker here
gave graphic description of the salmon fisher
les which exist at the mouth of the river. and
the peculiar manner in which the fish are
caught Long SENS are stretched across the
river, the network OF which is so made that
when the salmon going up stream put
their heads in the openings they
are unable to either withdraw to go through
the aperture. In this manner large numbers Of
salmon ere caught. The fish which by accident
pass safely beyond these seins proceed up the
stream, and, in the course of their journey,
meet the newly matched schools of salmon, which
are drifting down toward the ocean, In the
course of nature this fish, which has heretofore
been blue back salmon. is now changed to dog
salmon. after which it deposits it's spawn at tn Q
head OF the river, and again descends the stream
to the ocean.
The speaker also spoke of the manner in which
the seals feed upon the salmon. These seals. or,
as called by some, sea-llons. bite the throat of
the salmon out and tear forth the entrails, the
stomach of a salmon generally containing large
number OF small fish, which the seal uses as his
food. Two or three salmon served in this
manner sufficient meal for one seal
President Jordan illustrated his remarks by
drawing maps showing the geographical posi-
tions mentioned in the lecture, and also diagrams
showing the manner of breeding and Matching

The Quaking City.

CHARLESTON, Sept. 2l.-Three more
shocks of earthquake were felt at this
place, the last, which occurred at
5 20 this morning, being quite sharp
and creating considerable alarm. A
good many fed from their houses and
remained in the open air. There was
no installing the character OF the dis
turbance. Most of the people in the
city were asleep at the time, but the
shock was sufficiently strong to awak-
en- them. The features OF the phe-
nomena and of the atmospheric con-
ditions were somewhat peculiar. The
weather on Sunday and Monday
nights was warm and sultry. After
10 O'Clock the wind seemed to have
died out entirely. On Monday night
the indications Of u change in the
weather were apparent. Frequent
flashes Of lightning were seen in the
north and occasional rolls OF thunder
were heard. The sky over Charleston
was clear and the moon shone bright
ly. Shortly after midnight the wind
came rather briskly from the east and
clouds began to gather in the sky.
1t was 5:l5 when the shock arrived.
This was about the severest that has
been felt in Charleston for over two
weeks. Other vibrations that many
people have alleged they felt were
child's play compared with the shock
of this morning. The houses were
very perceptibly shaken, and in many
places the plastering was thrown
down. The shock is variously esti-
mated as having lasted three to ten
seconds.

New York Hop CrOp a Failure.

New YORK, Sept. 2O.-The Herald
says the entire hop crop of New York
is total failure. The loss, as esti.
mated by competent judges, amounts
to millions OF dollars 1t will be seri.
ously felt by thousands Of farmers, la.
horers and small shop keepers. The
crop of 1885 in round figures amounted
to 10000 bales, but this year in ia.
v"red sections Of the counties it will
will rot he 10000, Of which two-thirds
are unfit for market. The previous
failure OF the crop was in August,
lS66-twenty years ago.
In Otsego county where the hop
yield last year was 10000 bales then,
is now but 1000. OF this number less
than 10000 pounds will be choice,
which sells at 90 cents and the best
1885 will fetch 80 cents. Farmers
who have hops expect stiff figures in
January when State sales are slow.
Good judges say choice hops of this
crop will not exceed $4,000 bales,
Worse than this is the story that the
crop OF 1887 will be even less than
this season. The injury now comes
from the blight TO the foliage by in
sects, but a small root worm has just
been found which is apt to cause more
ruin to next seasons yield than now
1t is thought ii the roots decay, new
settings will be inevitable, and before
another crop can grow prices will be
apt to go much higher than ever be.
fore, if the present reports from Eng.
land and Germany Of failure are true
England will not produce so per cent
OF her usual crops.

Important Geographical Discovery.

1NpUA tuHt VcOSIupulCdI DISCoNcTys
New YORK, Sept. 2O.-The Times
has dispatch from Frederick
Schwatka, in command OF its Alaskan
expedition, dated at Sitka, September
10th, via Nanaimo, b. c., September
18th. Schwatka says that his party
on July Goth got to height Of 1900
feet above the sea level on Mount St.
Elias. This is the highest climb above
the snow level ever made. One Of
Schwatka's most important discove-
ries was an immense river emptying
into Icy bay, which is a mere indenta-
ton of the coast, sixty miles west OF
Yakutat bay. The stream is FROM a
mile to mile and half wide, 800 to
1000 yards of which is running water
and the remainder being at low tide
mud, sand and gravel. 1t was sur
missed at the time, and afterwards par
TALLY corroborated, that the great
river is entirely too big in every way
to be drained only seward from the
slopes of the st. Elias, also in the vi
cinity of the mountains from which it
apparently comes. 1t must head far
beyond the range and break through
them. Its muddy water from the
glaciers discolor all the waters of Icy
bay and for many miles out to sea.
1t was named Jones river after George
Jones, OF the New York Times. 1t is
not thought to be unrivaled by any
Alaskan river emptying into the Pa.
cific ocean.
