SHOOTING FLYING FISH.
A Novel Sport tsrricd on In Southern
California Waters.

A Novel Sport Ccrricd on In Southern
California Waters.
The visitor to the island of Santa
Catalina CT he who goes oct on the
launches from Long Besch or San
Pedro is always entertained by the
remarkable flights of flying fish,
which in these waters attain
length of IS inches and a weight of
2 pounds. Alarmed by the boat
OF steamer, they dash out Of the
water by vigorous movement OF
the screwike tail and dash away in
headlong flight, skiinming over the
waves like birds, presenting 80 re-
markable an appearance that the
tourist who has never seen so ex-
traordinary a performance takes
them for birds. The flying 6sh is not
flying, but it has four very winglike
fins which serve it a similar purpose
that is, it hurls itself out of the
water by the aid of its tail, and
then, using the four winglike fins as
parachutes, goes soaring away, Gov
eripg a distance of an eighth of a
mile. When the inertia fails. the
tail of the fish drops, and the mo-
mept it strikes the water it begins
violent twisting, which sends the
fish into the air again. and by re-
peating this the fish is enabled to
cover the long distance. The wings
or fins are not tapped, the only mo-
ton being tremulous one impaired
to them when the tail is twisted in
the water. As the boat giides along
these fish dart from the water and
go soaring away on either side, and
it is then that the sportsman, sitting
in the bow, has ON opportunity for
some novel sport.
The fish move like some quail,
very low, not moro than two feet
from the surface and are not the
easy shots one might imagine. They
move rapidly and appear to rise and
fall over the waves and gosweeping
away in graceful curves. Sometimes
four O, FIVE are in the air at the
same tin e, and the good shot can
bring them down to the right and
left. All that is needed to carry out
the idea of quail shooting would be
to have a dog, but there is sea dog
that fIushes this attractive game,
the agile tuna. The flying fish is
it's legitimate prey, and big schools
come sweeping in from the deep sea,
driving the schools of flying fish be-
iS-e them, chasing them into the
air six. eight and ten feet, giving
marvellous exhibitions of lofty tum-
bling. At such times the flying
fishes are crazed with terror and
leave the water by scores and hun
dreds. They fly into boats, out upon
the dry beaches. strike boatmen
who happen to he in the way OF
their headlong fight and present a
most attractive appearance to those
who have never seen q flock of ocean
fiiers In the air with fish or Z feet
long pursuing in series of, leaps or
jumps. Sometimes the tuna chases
the f1ier along just below the sur
tace, catching it as it drops. a cloud

Globe Lightning.

On July /, 1891, a fireball entered
q carpenters cabin near Schlieben.
The carpenter was sitting on the
edge Of bed on which child was
sleeping. A ball Of fire sprang sud-
denly and with q loud noise from
the fireplace to the bed, which was
Immediately shattered. Then the
ball rolled very slowly to the oppo-
site wall of the room, through
which, or the floor. it apparently
vanished with another fearful crash
without setting fire to anything.
The mans wife and another child
were sleeping in second bed and
the baby in cradle, all in the same
room. but none of the five persons
was wounded or even stunned. All
complained Of headache aid deaf
ness on account Of the heavy sui
phurous vapor which filled the
room, but they soon recovered.
Some fractures were discovered
about the stove and chimney.
Less fortunate were the children
in schoolhouse in Bouin, France,
who were visited by a frebsn while
at their afternoon prayers. It was
preceded by a shower of lime, wood
and stones. The ball, which was
small, rolled along under the bench
es, killing three of the children, and
went out through window pane,
in which it merely made a round
hole, whereas all the other panes
were shattered.-M. Hagenau in
