SPEAKING OF FISH.
Here is a Tale for Anglers to Match
if They Can.

Quite an odd find was happened
upon one day last week by Jack Lo-
PEI, who is spending the summer at
Swarthmore, Pa. The house which
has been taken by the family is
used in the winter as a b arding
school for girls, but was originally
private house. While taking a look
over the place Lopez found in the
cellar an old we'll that was boarded
over and had trap door, with an
old-fashioned paddock. Thinking the
place m; ght be utilized as a cold
storage, he tried to raise the trap,
that had evidently not been touched
fer years. Not before breaking the
lock was he able to get it open, and
then he found the we'll too deep to
see the bottom. With the aid of a
rope and lantern he discovered that
there was something moving in the
water, and after keeping very quiet
for a moment saw what looked like
fish swimming near the surface. AS
an experiment he decided to da some
angling, and socn ma piece of
string with a bent pin and a worm
down the well. In ten minutes he
had caught twenty-one fish, and then
decided to go out of the dark cellar
and examine his catch. They proved
to be fish of the trout variety, but
the oldest part of it was that all
were eyeless and snow white. How
they came there and what kept them
alive is a mystery that none of the
residents seem able to solve, but the
fish are plentiful and are good eating,
so Mr.. Lopez is satisfied. -PhiladeI-

MEN BEHIND THE GUNS.
How thu Crack Sho S in the Navy
Were Trained.

The remarkable gun practice of the
United States sailors, exhibited at
Manila and Santiago and elsewhere,
has attracted the attention of the
whole world, with the result of call
ing forth much speculation as to how
this high degree of proficiency has
been attained. This proficiency is of
comparatively rec3nt development,
and is ascribable entirely to the
energetic efforts of the navigation
bureau of the navy department, sec
onded by the hearty cooperation of
the commanding officers of our ships.
About a year ago CAPITA Crownin-
shield, chief of the navigation bureau,
assisted by Ensign Ward, one of the
brightest and most scie ltific of the
younger officers of the navy, began to
recast the entire system of gun prac-
tice as it existed in the navy. In their
opinion that system, as it had come
down from the last war, was not
sufficient fer the needs of the day.
At the beginning it was found that,
owing to the restrictions imposed
by department rules, it was scarcely
possible to have gun practice aboard
ship more than once year, instead
of once a quarter, as contemplated
Courses had to be laid out and
stake boats placed at angles and
records taken, making it extremely
difficult to find conditions admitting
of the practice.
II al 04
changed these rules and impressed
upon commanders the Importance of
gun practice at every opportunity
even where it was not possible to lay
course, in which case barrels or
floating targets of any kind might
be tossed over as the ships were
under way. Moreover, the number of
times that target practice must be
had was increased to seven annually.
Captain Cr1wninshield next turned
his attention to the personnel of the
gun corps and induced the secretary
of the navy to sanction the rating
of gun captains, a new rating entirely,
and enc so well paid as to excite
the ambition Of the men. Under the
old system the chief gunnerS were not
chosen for their proficiency in gun
merry, but were given their stations
because they happened to be petty
officers, quartermasters or boatswains
or the like. This system was COM
pletely reversed, and sailors were
made petty officers because they were
good gun captains, thus getting rid
of a number of inefficient men.
The next step was to instruct the
gunners, and they were placed aboard
certain vessels set apart solely for
that purpose. Thus the Amphitrite
was given a crew of these gunners
and sent to Port Royal, S. c., for ex-
tensive drills. The purpose in Sc
Letting this place was to secure a
large body of water free from the
presence of merchant marine. Thus,
through a careful calculation and

The recentrumors that the President

proven true, as is shown by the follow

Commodore Watson sails in the New
ark to join Sampson, when he will
take under his command an armored
squadron with cruisers and proceed at
once off tho Spanish coast. Commo-
dore Watsons squadron is designated
the eastern squadron and is as follows:
Flagship Newark; battleships Iowa
and Oregon;cruisers Yosemite, Yankee
and Dixie, and the golfers Scendia,
Abarenda and Alexander. The start
will be made at once from off Santiago.
No attemIt is made to deny that the
governments influenced in ordering
this movement by desire TO check the
progress eastward of the Cadiz fleet.
1t was not believed that the Spanish
admiral coud be guilty of the folly of
uncovering Ais own home ports in this
fashion, butinaSmuch as he seems de-
termined to 10 so the naval strategists
could not do less than take advantage
of the magnificent opportunity thus
afforded TO strike a crushing blow at
Spain and thereby, perhaps, bring
about speedy desire in Spain for peace
and save mrh time and loss of life and
money in the conduct of the tedious
campaign inCuba.
When the American fleet sails for
Spain it willtake complete information
as to the entire stretch of Spanish
coast, with detail maps of every harbor
