Scarcity OF Goldfish.

Goldfish are getting scarcer and scarcer
every year. They used to be as thick
as herrings on the Newfoundland shores,
but aew they are seldom found in this
part Of the world. They may be plenti-
ful enough in the deep ocean now, but
are not easily taken by bait, and there
fore are seldom caught by deep-sea fish
ermen. Cod are found on European and
Africsn coasts, but as far as this part of
the world is concerned in fifty years they
will be practically extinct. Chicago

Francisco from strange canyon In the
Tantillas Mountains. Lower California,
where he won't recently to secure some
rare plants, nolauas aud seeds of the blue
palm. He says that the canyon has never
to his knowledge before been explored
by white men, aud that its declivities arc
altogether more rough aud frightful than
any he has seen on the Pacific coast,
though he has travelled much. About
two thousand Coeopah Indians wcr.
there gathering the fruit of tho palms
and pine nuts. They reached 1t, as did
Mr.. Dunn, by going down tlse almost
perpendicular sides of the Tantillai
Range. The drop is $40 feet in thrc.
miles. Dead Indian ponies and horse
skeletons lined the way. Tho formatlos
from the bottom OF the terrible canyoE
to the -toothed backbone Is clean and
pure granite. Along the canyon is 1
tuhAbling cascade of pure mountain water,
and on either side for miles are groves oi
the pretty blue palm. Boston Transcript.
