Migrations of the Swordfsh.

Swordfish meat is firm and its flavor
superior to that of the halibut, and it
is entirely fresh and above reproach.
1t is mystery that New York should
so fail to appreciate good thing. The
coming of the swordfsh is always an
interesting fact, with no little mystery
about it, too. They are not here and
then they are here. Nobody knows
where they come from and no one ever
saw a young one on the American
coast They are raised in the Mediter-
ranean sea, and the old folks, leaving
the little ones behind, spend their sum-
mers along our shore, and chiefly about
Block Island. 1t takes a pretty smart
fish to lay his course from Gibraltar to
Block Island every year without fail,
and the movements and migration of
the swordfish are a noteworthy illustra-
ton of the strange and clever ways OF
fishes. Hartford Courant.

The contractors are under agree
ment to complete the work in two
years from September, 1888, and also
to operate it for one year after its COM
pletion. 1t will be built in the strong
est possible manner, enabling it to
carry the largest vessel or steamer,

will run on four lines of steel rails.
each rail weighing about one hundred
| and ten pounds. No wood will be
used; all bridges and culverts are to
be built of hewn stone. At either term
mus there will be two large docks, an
outer one, 800 feet long by 800 feet
wide, forming a receiving basin. and
an inner dock, 250 feet long by 800
feet wide. These docks will be faced
with hewn stone and have a water
depth of sixty feet. The inner basin
will be fitted with an adjustable plat
form, operated by hydraulic pressure.
for the purpose of raising and lower
ing vessels in transit
A ship or steamer making the over
land passage is first floated into the in
ner basin, and the platform supporting
the car or ship cradle sunk to the re-
quired depth. The ship is then floated
until she rests securely on the cradle.
Hydraulic pressure is applied and the
platform raised until the rails on which
the cradle rest are on a plane with
those of the main line. when power
full engine is coupled on and away
''sails" the ship past Beausejaur and
Cumberland, over swamps and boys,
through forests of spruce and pine,
until after sailing over some seventeen
miles of dry land she is launched into
the waters of the Bay of Fundy or the
Gulf of ST. Lawrence, as the case may
be. Vessels taking advantage of this
short cut will save some hundreds of
miles of dangerous passage around the
rock-bound coast of Nova Scotia. Es-
pecially will it be boon to the Glou-
cester fishermen bound to the Labra-
dor coast, the Bay Chaleur or other
points north and east.
Mr.. Ketchum has some millions of
English capital at his back, and the
line will certainly be built and operat-

Butterworth don't scoop the whole bus

coming, and she will have the first

Till Morpheus, with kindness truen

Approached the King-he bore

Should call Its braves to war.
The monarch, then, he pondered long,
And shook his royal head;
Quoth he: ''Withal, 'twere cruel wrong
A nations blood to she'd"
When, 10! a small, persistent fly
Alighted on his face,
And stirred him into passion high
1t stung some tender place.

In quick, revengeful wrath;
Methought ten thousand hearts must bleed
And he, himself, go forth.
