SINGING SHAn.

Queer Fish That Are said to serensds
Residents of Cape May.
The singing shad has been seen and
heard in lower Delaware bay this year.
Ii hasn't been seen ia large quantities,
Of curse. for the appearance Of this
odd fish In these waters is a rare occur
renee But few of the singing shad
have enchanted the fishermen. They
come from the south. and only when
the wind has died down and the water
Is quiet. They come in schools emit
ting musical notes as they swim along.
The sounds they make are soft and
something like those of an eolian harp.
1t is hard to express, or rather initiate,
on paper. the melody they sing. II
runs something like this Wee no. he
hi do de. wee no. die di dunn"
This sound cannot be made with any
effect, except when the shad travel in
schools The singing of "A single shad
is 90 feeble to be heard above the rip
pie Of the water. Captain Arnold,

South Jersey fishermen, said the other

career. They are rare. Of course. SO

and Chill. There they are quite com

rated about them by South American
fishermen. The singing shad also
breed in japanese waters. The fisher
men Of Japan are delighted when they
strike a schod of singing shad They
follow them up reverently. because
they believe the fish are inspired.
They throw them food and never
catch or eat them.
The singing shad is different from
the common back or roe shad. II Is
not so large and there is a slight differ
ence in the formation Of the mouth.
Only an expert fishermen can tell when
he has caught one Of the fnny song
sters. Old fishermen regard the mu-
steal shad as prizes and do not send
them to market unless they are paid a
very high price for them. It Is esti-
mated that they travel in schools Of
about 500. Their singing is pleasant
at first. but o o grows monotonous,
owing TO the fact that il is a constant
repetition Of the same few sounds.
Whether many Of these peculiar fish

not known They lose their identity
