Z A GD DM-uHWiN4 FISH.

It Is not always sale to judge By an
pearauces, for often, as the poet LIonRfe;-
low says, "Things are not what they
seem." Some wears ago the writer of
this article was fishing from boat in
Mississippi Sound opposite Biloxi. when
growing tired of a piece of gum which
she had been trying IN vain, TO learn to
like, she dropped it Into the water.
What was her astonishment when
within the next half hour she
caught fish with this identical piece of
gum in its mouth. This ls fish story,
but it is abs 1lutely true. and NOT so very
remarkable either. when one remembers
that there were half dozen lines haSg-
ing from the boat at the time, each mold
ing tempting bait. SO that the fisn VINO
had snapDei up the gum would be apt TO

had caught this fish and found the gun,
he might have hastily concluded that

habit of gum chewing, aud If he had
examined the gum he would have fur
ther reasoned that the fish had migrated
from Mexico, as the gum Was u resinous
sap of Mexican tree.
Going still further, he might have sur
missed tnat as the fish OBVIOUSLY could
not go on shore for the gum, the gum
must go to the FISH; hence the tree eitner
dropped its life fluid from branches over,
hanging the sea, or sent out into the
water long sapp7 roots. from whic1 the
catfish extracts the gum.

NEW HEALTH OFFICERS.
The County Board of health Make
''surprise" Appointments.

The Hudson County Board of Health
at an adjourned meeting yesterday dis
missed peremptorily Chief Inspector G.
d. Saltonstall, NJ D., Inspector John
Allen and Inspector Bernard Kielt The
men appointed to fill these vacancies are
DR. Thomas Byrnes. OF Union Hill. who
was appointed Chief Inspe ctor. aud
Michael Nevin, of Wayne street. father of
Police Surgeon Neyin, and Paul Decker, a
saloon keeper on York street opposite the
Academy of Music. who were appointed
to tlR two other vacancies.
At the meeting Of the Board of Health
Monday, those present noticed that Presi-
dent w. w. Varick and DIR. Mcneil looked
unusually wise and thoughtful, but little
attention was paid to appearances. The
reporters present were surprised, how
ever when the Board adjourned to meet
yesterday afternoon, for even during con-
tagious disease epidemics the Board of
Health never held two meetings in one
week. That something unusual would
happen was considered a certainty, and
that something did happen.
DR.. Charles B. Converse evidently did
not countenance the proposed action OF
his colleagues in the Board for he re-
manned away from the meeting yesterday
and refused to have anything to do with
the removals.
Yesterday afternoon President Varick
and DR.. Mcneil entered the Board room
and as usual the reporters followed. DR..
Varick informed them that nothing of
interest to them would be done. aud init
mated that the meeting could do without
their presence. President Varick was
informed that the meeting was an ad-
journed public meeting and that reporters
had right to be present, but this did not
bother the president any for he closed the
doors and he and DR.. Mcneil adopted
resolutions making the changes just re-
lated.
Then the County Board of Health ad.
journed and DR.. Varick and DR.. Mcneil
passed quietly from the meeting room to
the streets and went their ways without
having been embarrassed by questions
from reporters. After they had gone Clerk
Rooney made known the result of the
meeting, and he at once notified the three
inspectors of their appointments. The
| Chief Inspector receives a salary of 81 800
year and the two others each receive
