They Come Up Readily to Take Live Min
nows From the Attendants Hand.
The blackfish in nature is shy. but in
captivity, with kindness, il is easily
tanned. In one of the pools of the city's
aquarium at Castle Garden there are
number Of blackfish, including some 10
inches long and weighing two pounds
that viii take food, live l1illies, or min
nows, from the hand. The killie is held
just under the top of the water and the
blackfish comes mp and takes il, some
moving a little warily as though inyes-
tigating first so as To make sure that it
was all right, and others coming up
with confidence, taking the fish FROM the
fingers and swallowing il with smack.
Sometimes a minnow escapes from
the fingers or from the fish that is try
ing to take il and darts away for safety,
with two or three blackfish, sometimes
more, after it. The little minnow sticks
close TO the edge Of the pool and to the
surface Of the water 1t is thus protect
ed ON one side ~ the wall of the pool,
and at the surface it can swim faster
than its pursuers, and being 50 much
smaller it can turn much quicker th.-.l
the blackfish. 1t may go half the length
of the pool. hugging the wall. and then
dart across the pool at right angles,
with the big blackfish still after il So
long az the minnow keeps to the top it
is safe, but if it goes TO the bottom the
chances are greatly against 1t. In deep
er water the bigger fish can do better
than the smaller fish.
Weakfish sometimes become very
tame in captivity. One has been known
to lift its head four inches out of water
to seize a live .killie held in the hand.

1T WAS A DISMAL FAILURE
Professor Dyche Talks of the North
Pole Expedition
Been Able to Find the Food He
Had Hidden

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-Lieutenant
Pearys colored servant. Matt. Hender-
son, and Prof. L. L. Dyche of the Kan
sas State university, arrived from the
Arctic regions this morning on the
steamship Silvia. Lieutenant Peary and
the other members of his party, who left
Halifax yesterday by rail. are expected
to arrive in New York this evening.
Prof. Dyche, while reticent as to the
details of the expedition, adm tilted it had
been failure. He declared that Lieu
tenant Peary had Eot managed to forge
much further north than on the previous
expedition. He would not give any rea-
son for the failure, other than lack of
food. When driven back on the first at
tempt to reach the north pole, Peary de-
cided to press forward again. In 1854 he
had buried food in the ice, but he could
not locate the cache. He was obliged to
kill his dogs one by one and feed them
to the others. Dyche AMI party lived on
walrus meat when they could get it. The
professor states emphatioally that tie
party wonld never have reached America
had it not been that when Just on the
verge of starvation Peary and Henson
killed some muskoxen. Prof. Dyche
brought back about four thousand speci-
mems of Arctic flora and fauna.

British mamas and their daughters

all the prizes in the marriage market are
to fall to the American damsels. The
mania for title inherent in the Anglo
Saxon it is vain to contend against. But
the matter is somewaht serious to the

great loser through the accumulation of
its wealth crossing the ocean and the
United States will do we'll to manufacture
the coveted title at home for il is a
wooden nutmeg that is easily bought.
The existence OF titles, it is true, is not
in accordance with the simplicity OF re-
publican institutions, but in view of the
heavy drain, this might be overlooked
and the parents of any girl might be
allowed to buy her title, say for 200, 900
pounds. The public treasury would thus
be filled with dollars and the girl would
remain at home. There would be still

NOW THE PRICE WILL DROP
Lemous by the Million Arrive al
New York
riore VIII Be Due to Arrive In Day or Two
but the Market Is Only
Fairly Stocked

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The British
tramp steamer Sylvia, from Mssslna and
Palermo. has just brought 26, 900 boxes of
lemons to this port. Owing to the entire
failure of the Florida crop, together with
short production in Sicily, lemons had
jumped to $10.25 box and $l2.5 Gaze.
A box holds from 130 to $50 lemons, and
a case just as many, only the fruit is
larger and finer.
In day or two the steamer Victoria,
from Malaga, Spain, is due with $4,000
boxes of lemons. Prices will then drop
again. The normal rate is from So to $4
box.
Not since 1888, when, owing to very
small crops IN Italy and Spain, lemons
sold at SIG box, have they been as high
as within the last thirty days. Yet fruit
men say this yelr invoices are only about
10 per cent less than last In the early
part of the season there was surplus in
the market. while the August supply ran
short 10O, 900 boxes. Last year Florida
supplied New York with 10000 boxes,
and the total consumption in the metrop-
oils was 2 600, 900, or about 40 lemons for
every man, woman and chilli.
