FREAK OF THE COMET.

1t Suddenly Shot out Long Tail
 That was Fully Thirty Degrees in
 Length and is Perfectly Plain to the
 Naked Eye.
 WASHINGTON, July 16.-At 10:30 o'clock last night the comet, which is now the ob ject of 80 much search and speculation, suddenly developed an enormous tail which by the unpracticsd eye was taken to be display of aurora At that hour Pro- lessor Frisby, of the Naval observatory. was studying the comet through the nine- inch glass. He noticed long streak of greenish- white light shoot ont from the comet and extending almost to the zenith. At frat, the nucleus being at that moment hidden by heecy cloud, 1t was thought to be an suroral display, but as there was no ftckering and as the light came steadily from where the comet had last been seen the professor concluded that he WAS seeing a comet in process of development.
 The tail of the comet was 30o in length, 8 distance about sixty times as long as the moon is wide, end extended from 10' above the horizon almost to the zenith. It was plainly visible to the naked eye, and WAS was watched for some time by the corps of observers at the institution.
 Professor Frisby says there is no way to explain the sudden freak of the comet. Comets are cratic bodies at best, and the only thing to say is that this one had reached stage where 1t was ready to throw out the long streak of luminous gas which .s called tail It was not bushy tail, but was long ribbon of light about three times AS wide ss the moon.
 CONSIDERS IT AN AURORA.
 GENEVA, N. Y., July 16.-Professor Brooks to- day reported the observation of display of aurora here last night, the most magnificent feature of which was 8 beam of light of great brilliancy reaching from the horizon up past the zenith towards the eastern sky. It resembled in form and brightness a great comet, fo, | which 1t was mistaken by many persons The real comet, he said, was considerably 1 to the north of this and becoming fainter It was just visible last night in the aurora glow.

you may observe, that the enterprising
ditch man begins his dam to divert the
water toward the heedgates OF his ditch.
The current is accelerated, the ditch is
shallow, the instinct of safety is present
and the young fry are soon in the ditch
and later on the fields to be killed by the
sun. The last place in the river to place
the fry is near headgete. Neither is it
safe to put them in the headwaters. The
large fish seek the sourcs for spawning
purposes and if small fry are present
they run the risk of being devoured by
the larger fish. Fry should be de-
posted above the headgate highest
up the stream. The influence
of irrigating bitches in depicting streams
of their fish was SO we'll known in Colo
RADIO that for several years attempts were
made by the angling clubs to have law
enacted requiring all headgates to be
acrcened. These bills failed of enact
ment, but such law is needed here and
if tits desired that any success attend the

stream have referred to, but the country
was a newly settled one and bitches null

tural drainage of the bitches, been almost
'ntirely depleted of its fish. Your article

THE TROUT.
The Ditch His Worst Enemy-Some
Interesting Pointers from an
Experienced Angler.

To the Editor of the New MEXICAN.
Santa FE, May 2G.-In your Issue OF
the 25th inst you quote Colorado au-
tbority on "habits Of the trout" "a sub ject
that has from timo to time caused much
comment among Santa Fe sportsmen,'
in which you draw some very erroneous
conclusions. Considering the expense
and trouble recently incurred by our local
anglers in stocking the streams here
abouts with young trout it might be well
to publish some experiences of my Owl
on this subject, as they are exactly the
reverse of the authority whom you quote.
My own experience was with Colorado
stream, the Upcompahgre river, tribu-
tary of the Gunnison, and my observs-
tions covered period of five years. The
river ran through the military reserva-
tion of Fort Crawford, and nearly all my
spare time was spent fishing for trout.
The valley wos several miles wide, and in
the summer the water Of the river was
quito warm. In fact, no trout from May
l to November was know to have been
caught in the valley by bait fly. From
November to May the river swarmed
with trout. A ditch two miles long with
two square feet cross section furnished
the post with water for irrigating pur-
poses. During tho hot summer months
when the trout wore supposed not to be
in the valley because they would not bite,
it was common occurrence for the chill
dren to catch in the laterals about the
post trout from three to eight inches in
length. The gardener several times
showed me large trout caught among the
potato vines. On ono occasion the ditch
broke along side hill during the night
and had been running out On the ground
several hours before the headgate was
shut down. On reaching the break
found the side hill and the bottom below
fairly alive with young trout fry founder
ing about on the ground, high and dry.
soon to be killed by the sun.
This, mind you, at time, the middle of
summer, when according to your authority
the trout should all have been in tn,
mountains at the headwaters of the Un-
compahgre. 1t is not safe to conclude
that there are no fish because they will
not bite nor rise. There may bo many
reasons for their not doing SO. Your
local columns quite often mention fishing
parties who come back from the canon
wiah s'no iaok," sut atill we MI know the
fish are there. 1t is well known that

THE RED MAN.
The Reservation Plan Failure sr'
Lyman Abbott Chips fn-WnHaS
'IIm Made Citizens

NEW YoRK, May 27.--"The Indiana have
gained nothing by the reservation sys-
tem," said DR.. Lyman Abbott to re-
porter yesterday. Dividing the land in
severality, as provided by ccngresa, Is the
proper plan.
sAt the present the Indians on the New
York state reservations are right in the
heart of civilization, and yet they are as
uncivilized, immoral, pagan in great
many instances, at least, as their brethren
in the tar west.
"What is now desired by all friends of
the Indians is that President Cleveland
shall appoint an Indian commissioner
who is familiar with the Indian work and
the men in field, and shall allow him
to weed out the incompetent and un-
worthy agents. Before the Inauguration
of President Cleveland number of gen.
tlemen headed by myself waited upon him
at Lakewood IN the interest Of Indian
service reform.
"Mr. Cleveland thoroughly approved of
the general principle we laid down. He
also asked us to suggest some names for
Indian commissioners, and believe some
names were given. Agents should be bet
ter compensated and then held strictly to
account.
II believe moreover that the sooner the
Indian ia treated like any other man the
better. l am in favor of making ther
citizens.
Judging from President Cleyeland's
administration, 1 think that during the
next four years he will carry on the dis
solution Of the reservation system and
the giving of land in severasity, but he
will do that somewhat cautiously. He
will push forward the work of education
as rapidly as congress will give him
the means to do 1t. He regards education
as the key to the whole situation"
