FINEST FISH THAT SwlMS.
The Hogfish, Grunt or Pigfish Is q Tooth
some Deiicacy.

A correspondent of the United States
fish commission, writing from Hunger's
Wharf, Va, said, in letter about the
hogfsh:
SIN my estimation, it is the finest fish
that swims. 1t grows to the size of
about one pound, and is now rather
scarce. When was a boy, about forty
years ago, they were very plentiful,
and l have known 800 pounds caught at
one haul of the seine. They have since
gradually become scarcer. They come
about the LIST of July, and remain until
November"
The hogfsh, or grunt, of the Chesa-
peake is also called pigfish, or grunt, in
the Gulf of Mexico, and is known in
South Carolina, as well as in Bermuda,
under the name of sailors choice.
Its color is thus described: "Body above
pale brown, below silvery; sides marked
with numerous orange-colored or yell
low spots; those above the lateral line
disposed in irregular oblique lines,

those below it in. horizontal lines.
Dorsal, anal and caudal fins, with sim
liar spots; sides of the head pale blush,
with silvery tint, and marked with
yellow spots; lower jaw orange at the
angle of the mouth; internal surface of
gill membrane bright orange"
John Chamberlain, the veteran hotel
manager, and an admitted judge of the
qualities of Things edible, pronounces
the hogfsh to be the greatest delicacy
that grows in the sea, and declares that
if it could be introduced to the whole
country the verdict would be unani-
nous. Now and then, says the New
York Press, but very rarely, he man
ages to get an invoice of the fish from
Norfolk at his Washington hotel, but
when he finds his appetite for hogfish
coming on he travels to Norfolk or
Fort Monroe to appease it. He shares
the Norfolk opinion that the only adj
ditional article needed at a hogfish din
ner is sliced tomato that has been
kept in cold place a proper time be-
fore it is served. A little white wine
does not impair its flavor, and even a
very dry champagne may be ventured
without destroying the enjoyment at
the ''savory food

Stream of lead upon any point. 1t is
claimed that the stand makes it much
more accurate than any gun held to the
shoulder.
Tests were made at the government
proving ground at Sandy Hook recently.
Mr., Huber, an expert gunner, fired
fifty shots. This little feat occupied
five and four-fifth seconds. The bullets
flew through the air $50 feet apart and
there was continuous stream of empty
shells from an aperture under the
barrel.
AS the light gun is used by the infan-
try, it is important to ascertain how
quickly it can be taken from the pack
ing case and put into action. Expert
Huber hung it over his shoulder in
marching order. He put it together,
unpacked his cartridges and fred his
first shot fifty-eight seconds after the
alarm was given.
For third test the interior mechan-
ism was supposed to get out of order
and Mr.. Huber had to replace it with a
duplicate set, carried in the knapsack.
Between the last shot with the old
mechanism and the first shot with the
new, the time was % rs seconds. In
the, Maxim gun the recoil is utilized
as power to load the gun automatically
and work the hammer.
