BELT OF LIVING FIRE AT SEA
Strange Phenomena Witnessed on
the Chesapeake Bay.
Water Lighted Up for Miles with
PhosIhorescence-ExpianatiOn of
This Wonderful Display.

DR.. b. b, Adams returned this morning
from professional visit TO Boston. The
doctor made the trip on the Mercba nts' and
Miners steamship Fairfax, ard in addi-
ton TO having an enjoyable voyage wit
messed a awon,icrfulsight wilhelm Chesapeake
Bay between Norfolk a nd Baltimore about
10 o'clock last night. 1t was veritable
belt OF living fire
This magniiicent Mt phospborescent display
was about half mile wide and fully ten
miles long. The bay, as far as the eye
could reach, appeared TO have millions of
electric lights under its surface.
The passengers on the vessel saw the
light long way off. 1t then resembled a
prairie fire. When the ship plowed through
the belt the light changed to a whitish
green. The reflection was so strong that
it was possible to read anywhere on the
deck
Capt. March, the genial and popular
commander OF the vessel said he had not
witnessed such a displa Y for eighteen years.
All the passengers came upon the deck and
watched the strange sight long after the
boat had passed through the field. The
phenomena wasalso seen from Cape Charles,
Va, and other places along the shore.
Such displays have long been a matter
OF dispute among seafarers, and many theo-
ries are advanced in regard to them. Even
scientists take different views on the sub
ject.
1t is well known that certain kinds Of
dead fish, especially mackerels and her
rings, shine in the dark From a careful
study of the body of a dead stock-fish in a
luminous condition, DIR. Phipson, an au
thority on this question, finds that the phe-
nomenon is due to grease which shines
upon the fish and which contains some
peculiar organic matter, that shines in the
arklikepliosphorousitse tself. Phosphorescept
light is frequently observed on the dead
human persons who visit dissecting rooms
by night.
Living animals having luminosity are
extremely numerous, according to d. Phip-
son. A minute animal, very common in
luminosity.
DIR. Phpson relates that he has found it
'.in such prodigous numbers In the damp
sand at Ostend, that on raising a handful
of it it appeared like so IN uch molten lava"
This, he says, is the chief cause Of the
phosphorescence of the sea, often observed
In some luminous animals, a phosphor-
eseent organs, specially adapted for the
production of light, has been alredy de-
tected, and as sanatomicalsciencep progresses
the same Will probably be found in all or
ganisns endowed with luminous or phos-
phorescent properties.

ACQUITTED AT ALEXANDRIA
Mayor Thompson Dism Ssed the
Case Against Frank M. Hill.
Charge of Promoting Policy Was Not
Sustained by the Complain
ing Witness.

Frank NJ Hill, charged with promoting
policy in Alexandria, was acquitted this
morning before Mayor Thompson at an
early session of rhe Alexandria court
There was Do evidence TO hold the Alex
andrla bu siness ina nd he was discharged.
In concluding the case Mayor Thompson
Sharply Tepnmanded the plaintiffs for
their action He said If they would swear
out warrants Tor the persons who actually
wrote tue policy and brought evidence
against them he wouh be only too glad to
convict them. On the other hand, there
was too much of an effort at prosecution
without any evidence at hand.
The warrant was sworn out yesterday
afternoon by Charles E. Harris, brick
layer. Mayor Thompson informed Harris
that he would have no trifling. Under no
circumstances would he allow the warrant
to be withdrawn, and Harris must appear
and prosecute the defendant.
Harris insisted that policy was being
conducted in the city, and he would exert
himself to the utmost to have all his wit
nesses present this morning. He claimed
that he and his wife had played the game
on more than one occasion.
The wife, Isabella Harris, said she, to-
gether with her sister,, Mrs, Estelle Man
kin, played policy on August 2S. They
PLAYED a row OF mixed numbers-"S-l5- IL
64''-which came out in the lottery COM
pany which, they alleged, Mr. Hill was
backing.
They took the slip to the office of the com
pany and insisted on being paid $50. The
conductors OF the game claimed the slip
was forgery, and that the number, instead
of being 8, was really Is, and 1t had been
altered.
Mrs. Harris then wrote Mr. Hill n threat
eDing letter. Little attention was paid
to it and il was followed by another of
similar purport
Mr. Hill concluded that the writer's were
attempting biacknaii. They next went to
the station and through Harris last night
secured the warrant. This morning Mrs.
Harris did not appear in court, and the
promised mum erous witnesses were marked
by their absence.
Harris was put on the stand and swore
that he had never played any policy with
Mr.. Hill, and had never seen him near any
OF the places. Mrs. Esteile Mankin, sister
of Mrs. Harris, said she had never trans
acted any business with Mr. Hill, nor had she
seen him about any OF the policy places.
They claimed that instead OF going in
person to the joints they had sent messen-
gers Mayor Thompson said there was no
evidence but Harris ga him a list OF about
forty people whom he claimed had played
nol,cy. and asked that they be summonedas
witnesses
The mayor decided TO dismiss the charge.
To Times representative this morning he
said that this was not the first time an
attem ut had been made to get money from
Hill.
1t was said this morning that Mr.. Hill
will take steps to prosecute Harris, either
for blackmai or for using the mails for
black mailing purposes.
