Struck by Lightning.

The jamestown Alert gives a detailed
account of the storm in that vicinity, and
estimates the loss to crops in that neigh
borhood as only serious in small sections
southeast of the city. 1t also gives the
particulars of the sad death of John Fos-
burg, who lives northwest Of jamestown
about thirteen miles. He and his wife and
baby were struck by lightning and in
stantly killed. Another child, a boy aged
about B or 6, was also struck, but is still
alive. j. j. Leisch, a neighbOr, came into
the city early this morning for medical as
sistance for the boy and brought the news
of the fatality. DR.. Baldwin went out to
see if the boys life can be saved. Full
particulars OF the affair were not learned.
1t seems that Andrew EllingSOn and wife
were at FOsburp'S when the storm came
up. FOsburg and wife gave up their bed
to their visitors n made a bed for them
selves and the baby on the floor in another
room. They left a window and a door
open, thus forming a draft, and the light
ming was attracted through the window.
1t was a singular circumstance that the
building was not struck, and the visitors
and other members of the family were I'M
injured. The bolt passed down into the
cellar through the open cellar door and
lost itself in mother earth. FOSburg was
an industrious farmer who is we'll known
in the county. Several children are left
orphans by the fatality. Lightning struck
FOsDurg on the shoulder. The boy was
struck over the eye. It is said that he
cannot live,

THE FISH.

One of the greatest achievements of the
United States Fish commission has been
the stocking of the rivers of California
with shad. Before this was done they
were unknown on the Pacific coast, but
are now cheap in the markets of San Fran
cisco.
The striped bass has been successfully
planted in the waters of the Pacific ocean,
and last year fish were taken weighing
from three to five pounds, the undoubted
progeny of the young fish that were sent
there by the fish conn .ission.
American white fish eggs have been sue
cessfully Matched and distributed in the
waters of Australia and New Zealand.
One Of the most interesting experiments
now being tried is the effort to stock Ameri-
car waters with English turbot and sole.
I have received through the courtesy of Mr..
I. ]. Moore, of the Derby museum, Liver
pool, during the past five years, some fifteen
shipments of live soles and turbots. The
first four shipments were distributed by
me in the vicinity of Sandy Hook. The
others were taken to the Woods Holl
Matching station Of the United States Fish
commission. These fish are growing nicely.
Most fish are not particular as to what
they eat when hungry. have seen a half
pound trout swallow one weighing a quar-

there, the graves being in a neglected con-

TOWN TALK.

Frank Frisby I know of nothing
that will add more to the city than the
hose and band house. 1t is an ornament
as we'll as a useful enterprise. Nothing
adds more to the business appearance of
a city than a good band, and I believe
this city has taken the proper steps to
secure that end.
o. r. Barnes {: Business has kept up
remarkably we'll with us. What do 7
think of the band stand? Well, it is
very nice. In fact it is way up. I don't
know of anything that Will please me
more than to see Bismarck supporting a
good band.
M. Eppinger: Trade is good for this
season of the year. I don't know when
we have had prospects as bright as at
present. Do I want to 60 west? Well,
not that anybody knows of. | am here
to stay.
w. T. Perkins About half of the
directors elected at the last county
school election have qualified. On July
9Th the board meets, but I think all will
have qualified before that time.
DIR. Frazer: I just cams in from Wo-
gansport this morning with a patient for
the hospital. About six weeks ago two
meh started down the river from Fort
Benton in a small row boat and when
opposite Wogansport n of them was
taken with a fit. I was summoned and
decided to bring him to the hospital for
treatment.
A traveller: Why, your city is quite
lively, isn't it? Down at Fargo they
told me Bismaeck was very quiet, but it
looks to me as though they had got
things mixed. There is more building
going on here than in Fargo.
United States Marshal Price, in Fargo
Republican: I returned this morning
from a trip with Sheriff Hays, forty miles
| south of Dickinson. We have not yet
| obtained any clue as to the whereabouts
of the other train robbers.
A farmer: Well, I don't wonder the
percentage of the Dakota wheat crop is
listed at 100. If you could seethe crops
around the county you wouldn't want to
write anything but boom articles. By
the way, how is prohibition? Well,
original packages are better for us farm
ers. Well not spend so much money
treating each other.
General sentiment: The Fort Yates
Regimenta] band is the best band in the
state.

THE

stomach of a Goldfish weighing eight
pounds a block of wood as large as my
hand. There was once found in the stom-
ach of a Goldfish taken at Gloucester a pack
of cards. l found one day in the stomach
of a striped bass weighing twelve pounds
another bass of four pounds weight, and
in the same fish nine menhaden and q few
other small fish.
While on the subject of the feeding hab-
its of fish I would mention a fish known
as the black swallower, scientifically called
Chiasmadon Niger, a fish that can perform
the seemingly impossible feat of swallow
ing another fish from eight to twelve times
larger than itself. quote the following
description of this greatest Of all swallow.
ers: "It has an elongated body of nearly uni
form thickness, but slightly tapering to the
tail. The skin is naked or destitute of scales,
the head sub-conic and narrowed forward.
The mouth is deeply cleft, extending be-
hind the eyes, and armed with long. point
ed, and in part movable teeth. There are
two dorsal fins. the first having eleven slen-
der splnes. Such is its appearance with an
empty stomach. 1t seizes a fish many times
its own size by the tail, and gradually
climbs ever it with its jaws, first using one
M then the other. AS the fish is taken in
to the stomach it's ~integuments stretch out,
and at last the entire fish is passed through
the mouth and into the stomach. and the
distended stomach appears as a great bag
stretching out far backward and forward
over which is the swallower, with the ven
tricles dislocated and far away from their
normal place. But such rapacity is some
time more than the captor itself can
stand. At length decomposition sets in,
the swallower Is forced belly upward and
the imprisoned gas, as in a balloon, takes it
upward from the depths to the surface Of
the ocean.H EUGENE J.. BLAcHFoRD.

70 CROSS THE ENGLISH CHANNEL,
Combination Bridge and Tunnel Scheme
Which May Succeed.

Combination Bridge and Tunnel Scheme
Which May Succeed.
A most unique idea is the one that has
emanated from the busy brain of NJ. P.
Buneau-Varilla, and which seems likely to
solve the problem Of rapid transit across
the English channel. To devise a method
to escape the turbulent passage by boat of
that tempest swept patch Of water, and
bring the tight little island into closer
communion from the standpoint of hours
and minutes with the continent, has long
been the dream and ambition of ommer-
cial England. And either the method
of bridge or tunnel would long g have
been adopted but for the fear that the COW
eted road to France would, in the event of
wal with that country, prove the road to
England's ruin by affording the enemy a
means of speedily i%mplanting an army on
her shores.
But the ingenious Frenchman's scheme
dissipates all that, and here is how he pro.
poses to do it, by what he calls q ''mixed
solution" bridge tunnel" method. He
would build a great bridge out from the
shore on either side into the sea for as long
a distance as was advisable or necessary,
each bridge totally independent of the
other. Then at the sea end Of Zach bridge
he would construct shafts, either in.
clined or vertical, which would contain
elevators sufficiently large to lower OF
raise at one time us many trains of cars rs
absolute safety might dictate. These shafts
would be sunk to a sufficient depth below
the bed of the river to allow a tunnel to be
constructed connecting the two shafts and
thus the bridges. You would leave Dover
in a comfortable railway carriage, the
train would speed across the English end
of the bridge to the elevator, down you
would go to the bottom of the sea and into
the tunnel, run across that distance, come
up by the elevator on the French bridge
and speed on to Calais, which you would
reach in an hour from Startinp

cans and upon the United States Fish COM
mission for the valuable discoveries and
progress they had made in this n of our
most Important economic industries.
To fish culture both the national and
state governments have given every en-
enlargement by liberal appropriations for
the establishment of h%atcheries and in
vestigation Of the life and habits of fish.
Private citizens have accepted the respon-
sible positions of commissioners of fisheries
without salary or any p%ecuniary reward
for their services because of their great in
terest in the work.
At no time has there been greater inter-
est manifested in this science than at pres
ent. AS an example I will state that in
three of our most important educational
institutions there are ut the present time
Matching troughs in which the eggs of salm-
on and Of trout are being Matched, and the
development of the fish embryos is being
observed by the students.
Fish have been known to live q consider
able time out of water. They are not abso-
lutely comfortable out of their own ele-
ment, but they sometimes take it into their
heads to live on the land for a short time.
The most famous land frequenting fish is
the climbing perch of India, which not
only walks out of the water, but climbs
trees by means of its sharp spines. 1t has
a peculiar breathing apparatus which en-
ables it to extract oxygen from the water
and store it up for use while on land.
A singular walking fish is the Periop-
thalmus of the tropical Pacific shores. At
ebb tide he literally walks out of the water,
and, erect on two legs, promenades the
beach in search of stray crabs,
