CHICAGO, May.14.-Anglers of all classes,
from the small boy with his pin-hook,
string line and hickory pole, to the sal
mon fisher logged out for battle with the
gam est of the watery tribe, are to be rep
resented in the Worlds fair fisheries ex.
hibit. Professor Joseph W. Collins, chief
Of the department.. has issued his classif-
cation and prospectus, and glimpse OF
its contents is enough to make any sports
man resolve to see the exhibit next year il
he has to lose hisvacation this summer to
do it. Big fish, little fish, salt water fish,
and fresh, from a tadpole up, and from
dummy whale DOWNFALL the denizens OF
the water are to be there. Then there
will be tackle of all kinds, the apparatus
used in commercial fishing, demonstra-
tions of all the processes used in canning
and drying, and progressive selections
showing how the science of angling has
developed since Columbus landed on the
shores of the new world. Altogether il
will be display calculated to make old
1zaak Walton wander back to earth again,
spirit fashion, just to see how his beloved
pastime has grown into one of the great
departments of modern commerce and di.
version.
Home of the Exhibit.
The home of all these finny features is
one of the most beautiful-certainly the
most unique-of all the exposition halls.
1t was designed by Henry Ives Cobb and
shows fitness for its purpose that makes
one suspect the architect of being an ang.
Ter himself. In floor plan it consists OF
a central rectangular structure 1868 feet
long by 163 feet wide, except in the center
where the extreme width is 242 feet On
either side of this central hall are two
polygonal pavilions les feet wide, one de
voted to aquaria, the other TO collections
of angling apparatus from all over the
world. The aquarial building lies east Of
the main hall; the angling hall west, OF
the shores of the lagoons.
Ten Large Tanks of Fish.
Both are connected with the main ex
hibit building by curved arcades beauti
fully decorated in staff and after design.
by Mr.. Cobb. The aquarial building i:
equipped for the exhibit of live fish. Ii
the center is a rotunda sixty feet in diane
ter, with a middle basin thirty feet wide
A mass of rocks covered with moss anc
ichens hides the fountains, which spray
through crevices, dropping in showers il
the basin below. Here will be the home
of the goldfish, golden ides, golden tenct
and other ornamental fish, as well a:
aquatic plants. Grouped around the
rotunda are the ten large tanks contain
ing the fresh and salt water fish, eacl
tank with a capacity of from 1000 to q, OO'
gallons of water.

Ing the Ruins-Seven Men Killed by
NitrO-i Notwithstanding
Death OF u Workman.

OTTAWA, Kan, Sept. 29.-The farm
house of Sam Atkinson, farmer living
about two miles south of Le Loup, the
first station north of this city, was
struck by lightning and burned to the
ground.
Mr.. Atkinson, his wife, fve-year-
old boy and a baby 6 months old, which
comprised the whole family, were
burned to death.
The accident was not discovered until
his neighbors found among the smok-
ing ruins of what was happy home the
charred bodies of the father and chill
dren near where the bed had stood.
Mr.. Atkinson's body was found in an
other part of the ruins, which would
seem to indicate that either she was
out of her bed closing the windows at
the time the lightning struck the house
or else she made an unsuccessful at
tempt to escape. Probably the former
was the case.
All the members of the family were
evidently stunned by the shock, so that
they could make no effort to get out of
the burning building

MUSICAL FORESTS.
Extraordinary Natural Curiosity Found u
Conn ectlcut.

Extraordinary Natural Curiosity Found In
| Connecticut.
This township boasts OF curiosity
that probably is not duplicated in the
entire hemisphere and probably not in
the world. 1t is musical grove OF
chestnut and walnut trees.
This grove stands on the north side
of Niclserson hill, which is the highest
point of land in New London county,
and all the trees are old and there are
but very few that are not hollow.
The spot is well known among local
hunters as resort for gray squirrels,
and many hundreds of these animals
are taken out Of the grove every year.
Into the heart Of the trees the squirrels
have gnawcd their way through the
knots and stumps of limbs that have
decayed and fallen to tho ground. In
many cases but the mere shell OF the
tree stands and If fire is built in the
hole mt the roots smoke issues from n
hundred holes above it in the limbs and
the main trunk.
The peculiar sound caused by the wind
blowing into these holes has given the
grove the name of Singing Trees. In
the summer, when the trees are COW
cred with foliage, the wind has no
effect upon them, but in the fall, when
the leaves fall to the ground, the wind
has clean sweep ut the trees and it
whistles and means aud misses through
the hollow trunks and limbs, until it
seems to one short distance away that
q horde of crazy demons are holding a
grand jubilee among the trees.
These sounds are produced only when
the wind blows from the southeast It
then sweeps over the top of the hill and
falls upon the grove apparently, as the
wind from the mouth of u boy falls
upon hollow key placed at his lips,
and the sound produced, in many cases,
is like that made by person blowing
into the nose of bottle multiplied
million times. In other cases there is a
nerve-shattering noise as if giant was
blowing through an immense comb COW
cred with paper. Breaking through
these tones is. now and then, a short,
sharp, shrielsing noise and then q hiss
ing sound, as If from the mouths Of a
thousand pythons in chorus.
Taken together these Kisses and toots
and means and shrieks make u pande-
monium that one doesn't care to listen
to very long. The noise of these trees
can be heard five miles away, and it has
been heard to the leeward distance Of
eight miles, Its roaring is looked upon
by the people living within hearing dis
lance Of it as q precursor of q storm.
Among the hills and valleys it is often
impossible to tell correctly in what di-
rection the wind is blowing. but when
the roar Of the Singing Trees is heard,
the wind is known to be blowing from
the southeast and preparations arc at
once made for o storm.
In September. during what is known
as the equinoctial storm, this strange
grove is heard at its best Then, above
the bowling of the wind, the roar rises
and falls, like the moaning OF ten
thousand leviathans in the agonies OF
death. -Philadelphia Times.
