that it was about the biggest animal killed
in Maine this fall, but the antlers did not
spread as wide as some he had seen. The
blades Of the antlers were wide enough
for man to sit down in and they had Is
points on one side and IS on the other.

The Belfast Light q Power Company,
under its new management, is making great
improvements all along the line, both in the
gas and electric branches, and intends to
keep on until Belfast has as good facilities
for lighting as any place of its size i'll New
England. In the electric department the
central station and office have been moved
from Peirce's block ON Franklin street to
the company's building on Washington
and furnished and the building contains all
the necessary wOrk-rO"mS, Store-rooms, etc
for that part Of the business. The large and
complicated SWITCH board at the former
office has been taken out and new system
o. ring put in. The fuse boxes, formerly
on the switchboard, are now on the poles
outside. and the whole apparatus greatly
simplihed. The spruce poles throughout
the city have been footed out and are to be
repl at,C ly ctdsl il tie spring, which
time he city lights will be raised and few
slight changes made in locations. In one
ins tanae moving a light to the opposite side
OF the street will light lengthwise one addi-
tional street in one direction, throw better
light on an adjacent corner in another direc-
ton, and light the whole of its present
radius as well as is now done. In the gas
works the march Of imprOl ement is also to
be seen. Defective pipes are being replaced,
new retorts put in at the works, and a gen
eral overhauling given to the plant. The
company keep for sale all the appliances for
piping for gas or wiring for electricity, with
ii full line OF g obes, lamps, shades, burners,
ret1ectors, etc. They are determined to give
their patrons the best facilities and mater
ial possible at a low price, and to make the
system of lighting satisfactory to all con-
ctrned. II is also proposed to extend the
facilities for power if sufficient patronage
can oe obtained, and the superintendent will
be glad to confer with all who wish to har-
ness electricity TO their machinery. Mr.. G.
y. Maxteld, the new superintendent, il
thorough electrician, and although he has
been With the company but short time has
proved himself to be the right man in the
right place.

Not a Monk-Fish but an Angler.

The fish mentioned in last weeks journal
as on exhibition at NJ. R. Knowlton's fish
market was curiosity to most Of our peo-
pie. 1t is one of the numerous varieties
generally known to fishermen and sailors as
"monk-fish,' though not the regular monk
fish or Kingston, from which it differs in
many respects, being the angler or Lophius
piscatorius. This specimen is feet inches
long, 2 feet inches wide. The head is
broad and flat, the mouth very large, and
the upper jaw can be thrown back, making
an angle of 45 degrees or more with the
lower jaw, thus opening an immense cavi-
ty. The jaws are armed with several rows
of sharp-ponted teeth, which point back
ward, and can be raised Or depressed at
will. The color of the upper sides of the
body is mottled brown, and Of the under
side white. Scattered over the upper sur
tace are a large number of spnes, one of
which, near the lead in the dorsa row, is
tipped with feather-like appendage. The
waving of this spine, while the fish lies half
buried in the mud, attracts a large number
OF smaller fish, who are soon taken in to
dinner The specimen on exhibition here
was found dead on the shore at Little River
and a subsequent post mortem revealed the
cause of death. There was a noticeable pro
tuberatlon OF the stomach, which MIR C r.
Coombs said was a bird of 5 ONE kind. This
was doubted by some Of the bystanders, but
later, on investigating the open countenance
OF the fish, Mr.. Charles Richards got hold OF
a ducks foot and drew out the whole bird in
its full suit Of feathers. The duck had evi-
IDENTIFY been swallowed alive and had seri-
ously disarranged the interior arrangements
of the Angler. 1t will never be known
whether the Angler was after duck, or the
duck after fish, and this recalls an incident
embalmed in verse by Southern poet. An
old darkey went out fishing one day and
failed to return. Diligent search was made
and after time his body was found in the
stream entangled in his line, and fast on the
hook was large drum fish. The poet told
the melancholy story in flowing verse, con
Guiding in these words:
They never were able to tell, with all their cyph
ering and figuring,
Whether the darkey had gone fishing or the
fsh had gone lingering.
Capt. III. J. Chaples will preserve the
jaw bones of the Angler which are said to
be not only unique but Of pure white eolo1
when dried.

Owing to the smallness of the dame
ter Of tires on roller skates and the
heavy weight which ordinarily fails
upon them, extremely tough material is
required III the making of the tubes.
In the bicycle the distribution of the
surface wear and weight is large, while
in the skate it Is quite the reverse. Con
sequently, aside from the cost question:
that of wear and tear Is IA factor. Com
pressed paper tires, nodded from pulp
stock, are as tough as rawhide, yet flex-
ible enough to make riding easy, says
an exchange. Rubber pneumatic roller
skates carry the rider easily and swiftly
over macadamized or hard. smooth
roads, but are quite deficient on rough
surfaces. or where there are sharp stones
and the like. There are no opportunities
for springs as in bicycles, and the diam
eter of the wheels is so small that every
rupture in the road is received full
force, and the wear of the tire is excess
i've. The hard, durable paper tire, with
u surface as tough as the best of rawhide,
glides over rough spots, frozen ground,
sharp stones, pieces of glass and other
distractions without apparent effect. -
