Mills making a speciality of structural
material have not been so busy for
years as at the present time. and some
have about all they can do for several
months to come. Prices on everything
in this line have been sharply advanced.
The activity which of late has char
acterized the market for all kinds of
iron and steel continues, and prices are
still tending upward. There is no doubt
that the Improvement is actual and le-
gltimatc, and not the result of specula-
tion. Nearly all the large plants in the
country are working to full capacity
and still unable to make deliveries in
season. In fact, so we'll sold ahead are
they on some specialties that orders are
turned down daily.
The anthracite trade continues to
drift, and there is nothing yet to show
when the end will be reached. The dis
pute over percentages has assumed n
less aggressive character. some of the
companies protesting to care nothing
about tonnage at the present unrcmun-
c:ativc prices. Individual operators on
SOme of the roads decline to do more
than hold their trade together under
present circumstances. The companies
that are pushing the contest and are
standing up for their percentages are
moving their coal into storage dcpots
to supply the winter demand. but this
will soon have to stop. Everything
points to q restricted output in July.
and probably in August.

was with George Stephenson when the

THE ARCHER FISH.

the archers are expert wing shots as
well, They will swiftly follow moth
or fly that happens to hover close over
the water until within easy range,
when they will usually bring down the
victim at the first shot. Some observ-
ers say that the fish eXudes a drop of
sticky fluid, which gums the wings of
the flyer and renders them useless, but
as simple water would do the same
thing there seems to be no necessity
for any such explanation.
THE fish are kept as pets in the gar
dens of wealthy Siamese, and to wit
ness their prowess at shooting is one Of
the entertainments always offered to
visitors. All of these parks or gardens
contain pretty fountains and pools
fringed by luxuriant ferns and palms.
The bottoms are covered with bright,
many-colored pebbles, and as the wa
ter is crystal clear and very shallow
all the motions of the fish are distinct
ly visible.
AT Bangkok is the palace of the
Siamese king, and in the spacious
grounds surrounding it are many rare
plants and trees, tame animals, and a
large pond full of archers. They are
favOrite pets of the monarch, and he
watches them by the hour. He has his
attendants carry branches full of bugs
to the pool and thrust them into the
soft bank on the margin. Then he and
his guests sit and watch the antics of
the filmed marksmen and their lively
competition for the dainties. In color
the archer would remind one of our
fresh-water striped perch, but it is
darker, and the hues are brighter and
more striking. The fish only grow to
be four or five inches long, and are of
fiat, wide shape, not unlike the salt
water pumpkin seed, but with ex-
traordinarily large, fan-ike dorsal and
ventral fins, and a comparatively small,
feeble tail fin. The eye is reddish and
very prominent, and their sight is so
keen and they are so timid that an on
locker must be very quiet II he would
not brighten them away. They die al
most instantly on being taken out of
the water, and if injured In any way
they soon succumb. In death their
gay ,coloring soon fades, and they be-
come dull greenish gray.
They seem to be of social DISPOSE
ton, always travelling in large compa-
MES. If they have any other defense

SLAMS AkCHnR FISH.
It Secures It's Food Supply in q
Peculiar Manner.
The Unique Creature Brings Down It's In
sect Prey by Shooting 1t with
Drop of Water How the
Gun Is Worked.

1.-THE sea is full of strange things"
said a retired naval officer to a New
York Sun reporter, land man in
sailing around the globe sees many
striking novelties, but to my mind the
most curious and interesting inhabi-
tant of the salt deep is the archer fish
of Siam. The feeding habits peculiar
to each kind of fish seem to have de-
veloped a mouth exactly shaped and
fitted for that special work, as can be
seen by glancing at the mouth of any
of the sucker family, which lives by
drawing up food from the bottom; that
of the carnivOrous fish, as blues, macker-
ell, bass and sharks, which is wide,
deep-jawed, and armed with sharp
teeth to grip and hold the prey, and so
with all varieties of creatures.
This archer, or jaculator fish haunts
the eastern shore of Africa, India's
seas, and the Malay archipelago, oc-
curing in fresh water streams that
open into the sea as we'll as in salt
Water. The name has been earned by
it's way of capturing insect food. The
method is to eject drop of water from
the long tubular mouth so forcibly as
to knock bugs from the overhanging
limbs of trees into the water, where
they are readily devoured.
For years travellers have told of
this remarkable fish, but their stories
were, until within few years, uni
versally discredited by the common
run of people. The fish usually swim
in schools along the shoal edges of
brackish creeks or ponds, where the
weeds and rushes grow out into the
water. These plants are inhabited by
throngs of crawling creatures-spiders,
moths, ants and beetles. The archers
slowly and quietly drift closer and
closer to their victims, barely moving
their wide, wavy fins, until within
four or five feet, when they become i'm
movable, with eyes fixed on the living
target. Then they shoot, without ever
showing the mouth above the surface
of the water, the drops seeming to be
propelled directly from the surface.
ut is not only insects on bushes and
twigs that are taken in this way, for
