FISHING IN JAPAN
The Queer Aquatic Structure of Jap
anese Fisherman.

The Queer Aquatic Structure of a jap
anese Fisherman.
Just as the steamer people were pre-
pairing for their first landing there de-
tached itself from the background of
trees along the shore the most singular
aquatic structure | think have ever
seen, writes Percival Lowell in an arti-
Gle on Japan in the Atlantic Monthly.
1t looked like the skeleton of some
antediluvian wigwam which a prehis-
toric roc had subsequently chosen for a
nest.
-Four poles planted in the water in
clined to one another at such an angle
that they crossed three-quarters of the
way up. The projecting quarters held
in clutch a large wicker basket like the
car of balloon. Peering above the car
was a mans head. As the occupant be-
low slowly turned the head to keep an
eye on us, it suggested, amid its web of
poles, some mammoth spider lying in
wait for its prey.
1t was q matter of some wonder at
first how the man got there, until the
motion of the steamer turned the side
and disclosed set of cross-poles dashed
between two of the uprights, forming
rude sort of ladder. Curiosity, satisfied
on this primary point, still asked how he
got there As this was a riddle to me, l
propounded it to Yejiro, who only shook
his head and propounded it to somebody
elsa compliment TO the inquiry GER
tainly, if not to my choice of inquirers.
This somebody else told him the man
was fishing. Except for the immobility
of the figure, never saw a man look
less like 1t in my life.
Such, however, was the fact. The
wigwam was connected by strings to
the entrance of a sort of weir, and the
man who crouched in the basket was
on the lookout for large fish, OF a kind
called bora As soon as one of them
strayed into the mouth of the net the
man pulled the string which closed the
opening.
The height of his observatory above
the level of the water enabled him to
see through it to the necessary depth.
| am trifle hay over the exact details
of the apparatus, as I never saw fish
inquisitive enough to 60 in; but l sub

ABOUT MAHOGANY.
Ho i the beautiful Wood Was Discovers
and Drought into Use.

Ho = the beautiful Wood Was Discovered
and Drought into Use.
The discovery of the beautiful and
costly timber known as mahogany was
purely accidental The first mention
made of it, says the Detroit Free Press,
was by Sir Walter Raleigh, who used
it in 1897 at Trinidad for repairing his
ships. About the beginning of the
eighteenth century a small quantity of
it was taken to England 10y a West In
dia captain named Gibbons, who sent a
few planks to his brother. a physician
residing in London. This gentleman, at
the time of the receipt Of the wood, was
having house built, and placed the
planks in the hands of the carpenters.
They attempted to cut it, but because
of its hardness very quickly threw it
aside. The doctor expostulated, but
the workmen remained fixed in their
determination to have nothing to do
with a lumber which so successfully
resisted their attempts to saw it. The
planks were then taken to a cabinet
maker named Wollaston, who was di-
rected to make a candle-box with por-
ton of the wood. The same objection
was advanced by this workman, but be-
ing a persevering individual, he per-
sisted and finally made the box. When
polished it so outshone any thing pre-
viously made that it very quickly be-
came an object of curiosity, and the
people aocked to see If.
As a consequence the wood became
quite popular, especially after a portion
of the physicians treasure was en-
ployed in the construction of two
bureaus, one for himself and the other
for the Duchess q Buckingham. These
specimens of cabinet work caused the
rejected wood to become a prominent
factor in the construction of luxurious
pieces of furniture. Thus Wollaston
was amply rewarded for his perse-
verance in fashioning it into the candle
box, and his name, together with that
Of the physician and his nautical
brother, became inseparably connected
with the history of the introduction Of
this wood into civilized lands.

An during the day, and far into the
evening, there were passengers oy the
hundreds. but between two and hve
o'clock the crowd was largest, and al
times there was perfect jam upon the
sidewalks, making il rather dl1llcuIt 10
get along with any degree OF speed
Several persons estimated that there
was as high as two thousand people
upon the bridge at one time, at Intervals
between the hours noted, and perhaps
not less than ten thousand people passed
across the bridge during the day. IL
was the lam at the opening OF the
union railroad bridge over again. Inc
crowds were handled without difficulty
and no accident occurred except that TO
Miss Meyers, which was not Immediate
" upon the structure. and which Is ue-
tailed elsewhere.
Cars were run over the bridge during
the day, although that was not the
original intention, and TO say they were
well patronized is TO put it very mildly.
They were damned. Leaving the main
track at Main street, the cars were
pulled by two mules out TO the east END
of the channel span, where electric
power was available, and then they
crossed the remainder Of the structure,
turned up Penn street, thence 10 Hane'
then up North York, and on TO
and over the Back" river bridge.
Returning, they came down North ana
South Huron streets, out ONO, upon
the bridge, and across to the east end
of the channel span, where momentum
enough was gained to carry the cars
clear to the corner OF Main street, very
little mule power being necessary TO
run them out onto the main track again.
During the afternoon hundreds OF
people crossed over to the Island who
certainly have not been in that portion
Of the city for years, except, possibly
to go to circus or TO the State FAR;
and all during the afternoon there was
a great crowd at the corner or South
Penn and Ohio streets, while hundreds
walked about the Island streets looking
at the great real estate improvements
which have been made over there dur
ing the last few years, and recalling
how, a very short time ago, there were
only comparatively few houses
there, and but meager population
compared with the present $500.
This morning the regular rates OF
toll go into effect. In another column
appears a card from the Bridge Com
pany calling attention to the fact that
family tolls are payable monthly In ad-
vance, and not quarterly, as was erron-
eously stated upon their rate sheets.

The Killing of Charles Nolte.

Not a great deal Of additional light
was thrown yesterday upon the horrible
killing of Charles Nolte, near Twenty
seventh street, as narrated in the Sun
DAY REGISTER.
From an examination Of the locality,
it looks as though the unfortunate
young man was attempting to cross the
railroad switch, at the point where his
remains were found, and as there is a
slight bank by the side Of the track, he
must have slipped and fallen across the
track, in front Of the engine.
One arm was cut off, and his body was
cut in two across the lower portion Of
the breast The remains, after being
viewed by the Coroner, was taken to
Friend & Son, and yesterday were
transferred TO his home on Forty-frst
street.

Meyers Painfully Injured Yesterday Ahcr-
ncon-ihs Railroad Fatality.

A very serious accident, which will
probably result in the death of an es-
Unable young man, occurred on Nine
teenth street, not far from the city gas
works, about half past eleven o'clock
yesterday morning.
The victim was Ephriam Dimmack,
aged fifteen, of No, SO Nineteenth
street.
Young Dimmack went out into the
yard adjoining the residence to catch a
horse which was running loose there,
and in some manner, precisely how
could not be ascertained, Dimmack got
in the way Of the animals flying hoofs,
and was kicked in the head, just over
the left eye. Dimmack was knocked
senseleSS at once, and was carried into
the house, while messengers were dis
patched for physicians. DrS. Reed and
Taylor responded, when it was found
that the skull was badly fractured. A
piece OF bone an inch and a half long
by an inch wide was removed, and the
terrible wound was dressed, but these
seemed little probability, last evening,
that the victim would survive.

Railroad Notes.

The excursion season is over on the
Ohio river road.
Travel over the Terminal system, be-
tween this city and Martins Ferry,
was heavy, yesterday.
The West Union authorities have
notified the railroad authorities to re-
duce the speed of trains.
Track laying has been completed to
Beverly and ballasting the road bed has
been in progress about week.
Cashier Metzner, Of the B. & O..
freight department in this city. who has
been seriously i'll, will resume his duties
this week.
The Chesapeake and Ohio road bed is
rapidly being made firm and solid all
along the line. In short time the
Chesapeake and Ohio will have the best
road in the country. A double track
throughout is greatly needed.
The railroad election that will take
place on November Sd, is the all-absorb-
ing topic now in Grant county. A rail-
road would be the making of the coun-
", aud the people should encourage
every movement leading in that direc-
ton.
The engineer corps has finished the
location of the West Virginia and Pitts
burg railroad to Martins Bottom, In
Pocahontas county, and the route
which goes up Williams river is said to
be an excellent one with the exception
OF an SOO-foot tunnel.
Twenty-Five locomotives on the Balti-
more and Ohio have been equipped
with smoke consumers, an invention of
the superintendent OF motive power on
the Baltimore and Ohio, which is said
10 be showing excellent results so far IS
il has been tested.
The B. Sc D. has awarded Col. P. H.
Bennett the contract TO do grading be-
low Fairmont, for about five miles OF
side track. The work will extend from
where the late John Maxwell resided
down to the F., NJ. & P. bridge. Col.
Bennett is to begin operations to-day.

Miss Kate Meyers Injured.

About two o'clock yesterday after
noon, while a span of mules was being
taken along South Penn street, Island,
to be used in pulling street cars out on
to the new bridge, from Main street,
Miss Kate Meyers, In trying to get out
of the way of the animals, attempted TO
cross the street Immediately behind
them. Through some inadvertance she
got too close, and one of the mules
kicked out wildly with his hoofs, strk-
the young lady in the Geek and knock
ing her down. She at once got up, but
fell again, when several persons ran to
her assistance, and she was taken to the
Office of Dr. Myers, where her injuries
were attended to. Fortunately she is
not seriously hurt, although the wound
is very painful. Her escape from the
fate which befell young Dimmack, In
the morning, was quite a narrow one.

Norfolk aud western.

The prospect is now that the Ohio
River bridge at Ceredo, and the Elk
Horn tunnel and the extension from
Elkhorn to the Ohio River will be COM
pleted and ready for trains by February
ist. The bridge will probably be com
pleted before the cold weather. The
four spans are all up and nearly ready
for use, and work on the steel viaduct
approaches, each nearly a mile In
length, is being pushed with all posi-
BILE haste. There is considerable track
to lay on the extension yet, but it is
thought it can be finished by the time
the tunnel on Twelve Pole river is
done. The tunnel work is necessarily
slow, and it will probably delay the
completion of the line little.
