PECULIAR FISH.
They Are Blind and Inhabit Bottomless
Pond With no Visible Outlet.


The queer fish that for a short time
every season inhabit the Bottmless pond,
near Milford, Ct made their first ap-
pearance for this year last Sunday morn
iLg, The pond lies in a deep ravine on
the southwest side of New Haven turn
pike, only two miles from the village
The wayfarer finds himself standing on
the edge of a circular gulf some rs feet
across. The perpendicular walls are of
green marble, beautifully shaded and>mat-
tied. About 30 feet below the level where
the path terminates the walls end at a
fairly even Shelf about II feet wide. On
one side senes of rudely cut steps af-
ford menas 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 the pond is
celebrated. As he approached the edge Of
the pond quietly ne saw about 20 good
sized fish lyirg motionless near the sur
face. He dislodged a pebble by accident,
and at the sound Of its fall the fish van
ished as II by magic. Last year they APP
peared early in June and several unsuc-
cessful 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 re-
fused 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 ne 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 wea 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 is to set a fine gill
| net horizontally across the pond at
| depth OF about three feet. They hope that
| the fish In rising will run into the meshes
and be caught, All the fish are of about
the same slze-l8 inches long and slender,
| like dace In form, but almost a let
black No scales are dscernable, and
their fms and tails resemble those of the
common brook trout. When in repose.
they are only about three or four inches
below the surface and invariably face to-
| ward the north The eyes are large and
prolrude from the head.
1t has been virtually proved that the
FISH are stone blind, for although they
SINK out OF sight at the slightest jar or
noise they do not notice the waving of
| poles or leaves over the pond. The people
here cell the fish white eyes.
III 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 uwo months In which to study their
habits. At the opening Of August the
strange viatants 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.

Shipyards OF unlimited capacity are

there are not wanting indications that

will thus be established that the private
shipyards Of America can challenge the
world Ia the production, OF both naval
and merchant vessels of the most
improved modern type To this
must be added the remarkable skill Of
the American shipwfights in designing
vessels, which has been displayed con
spicuously In the efforts to defend the
Americas Cup. Not only have these
efforts been uniformly successful but
the English have 30 completely adopted

it Is straw showing the direction

which can design superior yEchts
can design naval aud merchant ships Of e
superior quality. and that Is being done
at the present moment These shipyards
have built numerous smaller vessels for
