There is no argument valid upon a

that there were no black swans, becarse
it is impossible to conceive black sw, ii.
But one harmless and unconscious blaC
swan from the antipodes put all the in
genious thinkers to rout. Hume argued
from his conception of true induction
that the major premise must include all
possible cases. This he thought conclu-
sive against great deal of popular be-
lief. But what test have we of the pos
sible?
1t is harder to believe that we have ex-
plored and classified the whole field of
knowledge than that ravenous fish
with no higher and no lower thought in
its meager brain than plentiful dinner
should have swallowed and then dis,
gorged a man. Besides, we are not
without evidence that such piscine cC-l-
duct is at least possible. Jonah was
sailing in the Mediterranean-right
along its whole length-from Joppa in
Palestine to Tarshish in Spain, and it is
in this very sea that even at the present
day huge fish, the white shark, is
found; and not only this, but the bones
of much larger species now extinct.
The word used in the Bible is gen.
eral term for large fish, and it includes
i'll various writers sharks, tunnies,
whales, dolphins and. seals. This white
shark attains such size that it has been
known to weigh Al tons. One that vas
exhibited last century over Europe
weighed nearly two tons and very near.

A British war vessel was sailing in the

and the unlucky seaman disappeared
within its mouth. The captain fired a
gun at it from the deck, and as the shot
struck upon its back it cast the man out
again, and he was rescued by his col
panions. They forthwith harpooned the
fish, dried him and presented him to his
intended victim. Cincinnati CONNER

The old soldiers are directly inter

should not lag behind now that work
is to be done. Which Grand Army
post will take the lead in an appeal
to the 'old boys" in the East for sup

800, 900. 900 a year. There is no

S. A. Moffett, in the Examiner.

S. A. Moffett, in the Examiner, is
writing a series of articles on silver.
He thinks the standard of money
must be something that does not
fuctuate in value and settles down
to the conviction that gold is the
thing.
He seems to have overlooked the
fact that gold has been favorite ar
ticle of speculation with the brokers
of Wall street for years because of
its fluctuations.
1t has varied moro than ten per
cent of it's value in a single day.
1t rose from lao to la in week,
which eliminated in the Black Fri
day excitement, and dropped back
to 134. Yet this is the metal Mr..
Moffett picks out as the thing to
measure values by because of its
freedom from fuctuation.

CALIFORNIA; NEW SENATOR,

Governor Markham has appointed
George Perkins. Ex-Governor of Cali
fornia, as Stanford successor in the
U. S. Senate.
Perkins is conservative business
man with an excellent record, and
few enemies. His selection was a
surprise, as his name had been
scarcely mentioned.
The papers were teeming with
predictions and interviews about who
the Governor had favored, and just
who the man was going to be, aud it
turns out that the papers knew very
little about it.
The only thing worthy of COM
ment on the situation is that it is odd
that man should be appointed who
don't know his own views on the
currency question.
On Sunday Chronicle reporter
called on the newly appointed Sena-
tor of California, Nv. Perkins. The
following is portion of the inter
view:
"What are your views upon the
silver question:
well, that is hard question to
answer Yesterday l thought had
decided views upon the question of

titled to express my sentiments as

it is different. am one of a jury
that will not find verdict in regard
to questions of national policy until
all the evidence is in. That evidence
is now being given through public

In view of the fact that the silver
question has been under hot dis
cussion for several years in every
newspaper in the country, it is evil
dent that Mr.. Perkins is not much |
of reader,
Friends of his in this city say he is
a silver man.

Governor Jones of Alabama, who
holding the seat which properly be-
longs to Captain Kolb, is rather late
with his declarations for bimetallism.
If he had cast his lot with the 80, 600
silver men in Alabama and united
the Democl acy of that State against
Cleveland, the South and West would
not be to-day PROSTATE financially
and industrially. Governor Jones
is of that class Of silver men who
pretend to favor bimetallism but vote
for an administration they know will
strike it down.

A Paradise for Fishermen Ia waters

Puget Sound swarms with fish.
Wonderful stories are told OF them.
SO plentiful are the salmon that dur
ing the season when they are running
up the streams il is said they will
rush up brook so thickly as to wedge
together and form bridge that one
can walk across. In jumping the falls
OF small creeks they often lacerate
themselves terribly on sharp rocks.
salmon is the favorite fish of that
country. Even the ladies like them.
One old fisherman down on tbs wharf
told how a lady up town had a pct
salmon. 1t stayed in certain little
cove. During the rainy season the
lady would come each day 10 feed il
with bread. When she would start
back 1t would swim up the watery
streets and follow her home, then
swim down again 10 its little cove.
Very queer fish are caught in these
waters One kind is called candle fish
1t is dried ana packed in boxes like
candles. We are told the fishermen
use them To light their homes, and
that at one time all the boats on the
sound used them instead Of sperm-oil
lamps. BY putting the heads Of the
fish downward in candlsstick ana
lighting the tail which, in conjunction
with the back bone, acts as a wick, IL
burns like candle. They eat this
fish, and when cooking it is so fat il
