PECULIAR FISH.
They Are Blind and Inhabit Bottomiess
Pond WITH No Nlalble OutIct.

Pond with No Visible Outlet.
The queer fish that for short time cv-
cry season inhabit tho Bottoinless pond,
ncar Milford, Conn, made their first ap-
pcarance for this year last Sunday morn.
Ing. Tho pond lies In deep rayino on the
southeast side Of tho New Haven turnpike,
only two miles from the village. Tho way
farer finds himself standing on the edge Of
circular gulf some 75 feet across. The
perpendicular walls ARE Of green marble,
beautifully shaded and notified. About 80
feet below tho level where the path termi-
mates tho walls end ut fairly oven shelf
about IL foot wide. On one side series Of
rudely cut steps afford means OF descent to
The level border of the pond.
Old Dan Buckley was huckleberrying
near the quarry three years ago when he
discovered the fish for which tho pond Is
celebrated. AS he approached the edge Of
the pond quietly no saw about 20 good
sized fish lying motionless near the surface.
Ho dislodged pebble by accident, and at
the sound OF Its fall the fish vanished as IL
by magic. Last year they appeared early
In June, and several unsuccessful attempts
were made to catch them. A New Haven
fishing enthusiast took fishing tackle and
folding canvas boat To the pond one
morning. His scheme was to snare the
fish II they refused To notice his bait He
launched his boat safely and enjoyed the
sensation Of being the first man to drift
out on the Bottomless pond, but the fish
disappeared. For two hours he waited In
vain for their return. Before he came
ashore he tried to sound the depth of the
pond. He let out 80 yards of trout line,
well weighted, but he found no bottom.
An attempt to catch the fish Is to be
made this season by a Yale professor and
his friends Their plan IL to set fine gill
net horizontally across the pond at depth
of about three feet They hope that the
fish in rising will run into the mcshcs and
be caught. All the fish are Of about the
same size-lS inches long and slender, like
daco in form, but almost jet black.
No scales are discernible, and their fins
and tails resemble those OF the common
brook trout. When In rcposc, they are only
about three or four inches below the sur
face and invariably face toward the north.
The eyes are large and protrude from the
head.
1t has been virtually proved that the
fish arc stone blind, for although they sink
out Of sight at the lightest jar or noise
they do not notice the waving Of poles or

the fish white eyes.
If the pond is fed by subterranean
streams Of water these fish, it is thought
may be visitors from an underground lake
or from distant river. There are only
about two months in which to study their
habits. At tho opening Of August the
strange visitants disappear as suddenly as
they come. Henry Tuttle, the expressman,
was the first person to see them this year,
and he says they look the same as ever,
but are rather bigger than last year. A
dozen or more persons have visited the
pond since Sunday and have seen the fish.

NEW DEVICE FOR SHIPS.
An Anchor Which, When Fired From a
Gun, Will Carry a Limo Ashore.

Thousands Of human lives have been
sacrificed because of the absence of q suit
able apparatus for establishing communi-
cation between stranded vessel and the
shore, but an invention has now been pat
ented which, it is believed, will effect this
purpose Hitherto resort has been had to
the bomb, which carries line from the
shore to the stranded ship so that a
breeches buoy can be rugged to land pas
sengers and crew In safety. All of our
life saving stations are equipped with this
apparatus, which has saved many lives and
justified itself.
But the ship that is driven ashore upon
an uninhabited beach can have no hope of
such succor. The surf raging during a
storm makes landing In boat impossible,
and the bomb which flies through the air
affords the only hope fer the crew. The
aim Of the inventor Of tho new apparatus
is to equip every vessel with gun and
bomb SO that she Is not dependent upon a
life saving crew ashore.
The new gun fires long and heavy pro-
jectile, which in reality is an anchor The
arms of this anchor spring into place as
soon as it leaves the muzzle of the gun,
and it will bury itself on the shore or in
the sand in shallow water. Even on a
rocky coast such an anchor is pretty sure
to catch in some crevice. If 1t does not so
CATCH it may be hauled back to the ship
and again fired, and this may be repeated
until q good anchorage is found.
The projectile carries light line along
with 1t, or rather two lengths of the same
line, each end of which is kept aboard the
ship. This line runs over n pulley in the
heavy bomb, and as soon as the latter has
firmly anchored itself the crew aboard the
ship have established communication with
the shore.
1t Is the invention Of Anton Schmitt of
Butler, N. j., to whom patent has been

A German emigrant en- route to the west
went into restaurant at Dennison for

ing exchanged on the train. Before he was
through he looked out across the street and
over high fence to SEQ his train moving.
Not moments $ hesitation was taken, but
he started straightway, and thinking he
was travelling through the open air he ran
through the plate glass side OF the build

from his neck. No sooner was nc released
from the glass than no scrambled over the
high fence toward the train, which was
held until no should board 1t. He wa:

A Strange Village.

At Tebossa, in Algeria, near the Tunis
frontier, n strange mcgalithic village has
been discovered. At the foot Of shell
limestone cliff, half milo from the phos.
phate mines, are many large powders,
from 30 TO 40 feet In circumference, which
have fallen from the cliff. These were hol-
lowed out into rooms about seven feet
square, and openings cut In the rock for
windows and doors. AS mcgalithic tombs,
largo slabs supported on upright stones,
are near by, It is probable that these little
rooms wcrc used as dwellings and not aa

A Highway Commissioner to Attend
the National Road Parliament.
Highway Commissioner Maude will
leave this morning for the Atlanta EX-
position to attend the National Road Par
lament. The Board of Examiners has
not seen its way clear to allow the ex-
penses of the delegate out of the bureau
fund set apart by the Legislature.
Nevertheless, the parliament is con-
sidered so important means Of knowl-
edge of the good roads movement, that
Mr.. Maude has determined to attend it,,
even II he has to pay his own expenses,
and the Governor has given him leave Of
absence that b. may represent the bureau,
hear the debates, exchange views with
other Commissioners and road officials,
witness the trials OF road machinery, see
the eXempllilcation of various kinds of
road building, and gather all the informa-
ton possible for use of the California
Bureau.
The Act creating the bureau provides
that the bureau snail inquire into what
laws ana methods are in use i'll other
States III regard to road matters, < y
ana make any other inquiries in ma ters
regarding highway Improvement AS will
be OF interest or benefit to the objects of
the bureau" The Commissioners believe
that these ends will be greatly advanced
by having one OF their numb at the
road parliament, and hence MIR. Maude
Will go on to obtain all the information
that he can that may be made beneficial
TO California road improvement and aG-
ministration.

feet fit. 1t often takes a day or SO

Shoes and
Health.

1t is impossible for any person to be
free from pain in their feet, their back
or their head when they have on tight
ill-ftting shoes. Just in proportion as
free circulation in the foot is prevented
to that extent the whole body suffers
injury and harm.
No person can move gracefully about
in tight shoes. That unconscious grace
of movement is wholly lost the moment
the foot is cramped and imprisoned, and
no one can push to the front in this
busy, eager world in pain-produciag
boots.
We have proper, sensible shoes, per-
feet fitting and right in every way
the delight and comfort of all who
wear them-men, women or children.
