Theory of the Probable Cause
Some Beautiful Fish.

To anyone interested in a study of
the finny inhabitants of Hawaiian Wa
tiers, an inspection Of the large yarie
ty OF fish exposed for sale on the mar
BILE slabs at the Fishmarket viii afford
ample scope for research in that direc-
past the daily supply at the market
has shown gradual falling off. and
as the demand for fish shows a steady
advance the consequence is that fish
which three years ago sold at 10 cents
per pound now commands a 30 per cent
increase
This state of things is explained IN
various ways, but the most reasonable
solution IS that owing to the. abnor-
mally dry seasons experienced in lat
ter years, and the rapid expansion OF
the city's boundaries, the surface drain
age carried to the seashore has de-
stroyed the spawn or at any rate drly-
en- the fish to seek more satisfactory
breeding grounds.
Another explanation is that TO the

the sharks frequent the fishing grounds
and when a net is we'll filled they bite
out the best portion, and consequently

A CURIOUS SEA
SERPENT,

Many persons have professed to have
seen sea serpents, and while the general
belief Is that there are no such creatures
1t Is quite likely that those who claim TO
have seen them did see things which they
honestly and very naturally believed to be
sea serpents. striking example Of the
manner In which persons may be de-
ceived in this matter has just been given
by DR.. r. Du Bois-Raymond in a paner.
in which he describes his experiences on
board of the Scraps in October, 1890.
1t was rather foggy morning, and the
water was as smooth as glass. The vessel
was going through the Magellan Straits
ana the hours passed monotonously, until
suddenly the passengers noticed an ex-
traordinary object in the water some dis
tance away.
At once the cry arose that it could be
nothing but sea serpent, and. indeed.
mere ti1ea seemed TO be excellent grounds for
this statement, since the object was GER
talnly alive, and as it moved through the
water presented all the appearance of an
immense snake That 1t had huge head
was clear to every one, and that it was
possessed of an enormous BODY was mani
fest from the manner in which # Smashed
the water on all sides.
"A powerful telescope was procured and
the uncanny object was studied through
1t. Then its true character was at once
iIeVealeo. instead OF being a sea serpent
1t was simply herd of sea lions The
animals were clustered close together
and as they gamboled and moved through
the water they certainly presented the
appearance of long and bulky snake. If
they had been at a greater distance it
would have been difficult to discover what
they really were, and it is not impossible
that the passengers would forever after
have remained convinced that they had
actually seen the wonderful sea serpent.

last, but not least, comes this engage

Just seven years ago Miss Francisco
was a school girl with a very pretty
voice. She studied at the Fabbri- Muller
Conservatory, and both Madame and
Monsieur Muller were very enthusiastic
about the treasure they were sure they
had discovered. She combines said
Monsieur Muller, warmth and eXecu-

that an artist sings with expression and
that quality of voice direct from the
heart so necessary to the complete con-
ception of a role If Miss Francisco has
developed as she promised to do, and as,
according to the great European critics,
she has done, San Francisco will one day
be proud of her as one of the greatest
prima donnas in the world"
After leaving San Francisco Miss MI
chelson adopted the name of her native
city and became professionally known as
Fannie Francisco. From here she went
to Paris and studied four years under
Nine. Marchese. The great teacher was
enthusiastic about her American pupil,
and secured for her an engagement at the
Grand Opera House in Paris. She made
her debut in Hamlet and was an in

THE ORIGIN OF
LAUGHTER.

Why we laugh LIS q question that has al
ways puzzled those who are accustomed
to think deeply. The laugh which is now
so closely associated with good humor and
kindly feeling, originally expressed the
exact reverse. 1t was the crow of tri-
umph over a fallen foe. Such is it's ma
ture still among savages, and it's unex-
pected manifestations are occasionally
very startling. Dancing on the body of
prostrate enemy is, in fact, to them hilar-
ious fun.
Any new device for torment is q clever
jest. The infiicting Of CHASTITY wound as
some poor wretch runs the gauntlet makes
shock or horrify or disgust the civilized
man, are about the only things worth
Vew K6 the e exception onaff RSn Of Of
rough practical Jokes, which may possibly
wrinkle his stolid features with a mo-
mentary grin, the barbarian has no appre-
citation of civilized humor. Even the
knowledge that he himself is to be the
next victim does not spoil the fun of
cruel spectacle for barbarian thorough
bred
Some siamese who had been engaged in
revolt were captured redhanded and
sentenced to military execution. A COM
pany of soldiers had been drawn up with
loaded muskets, before whom the doomed
men were led out in squads OF five or six
TO be shot, while those who were waiting

victims. torn, by the storm of bullets,
leaped into the air with violent contor-
tions and fell dead. And this to the poor
wretches whose turn 1t was next to go
through the same experience seemed so
fine show and SO excruciatingly funny
that they were fairly convulsed with
laughter.
Such is the humor of the uncivilized, and
such doubtless were the beginnings of
mirth the world over. Strange as it may
seem, there are many hints of this bar
barous origin in the fun of the most
highly civilized.

were unable to get her to appear at any
other place.
When Queen Wilhelmina was crowned
at Amsterdam Miss Francis-o was select
ed to sing at the coronation ceremony.
She did so, and made such an impression
on the young Queen that she invited her
to visit her at The Hague.
She then accepted an engagement now
just concluded, of nine months at Am
sterdam. When her opening opera was be-
ing selected Miss Francisco pleaded to be

a failure in that city it required great
deal Of arguing before she received the
permission. With what success the opera
was given we will allow John Brugman,

"a great success was the debut of Miss
Fannie Francisco as Ophelia in Hamlet
We can only congratulate the manage
ment in the happy choice it made in en-
gaging this singer Besides a beautiful
voice this lady possesses technique that
renders every tune at its best. The in
tonation is exceedingly good and her tenn
perament makes her play very attractive
AS a curiosity, we state that although
Miss Francisco is a born American, and
not of Dutch nationality, her pronuncia-
ton of our language was faultless. The
volume of her voice is indeed eXtraordn-
ary for a colorateur singer. After the

The inventor, Herr Zimmerman, has as
certained that two leather sacks filled
with air when brought violently together
make noise precisely like that produced
by the capping of hands. He placed pairs
of leather sacks in hidden places through
out a theater and then connected them
by wires, so that they could be set in
motion by electricity on button being
pressed. The regisseur in the wings con-
trolls the apparatus in all parts of the
gallery. the pit or the stalls at will. Herr
Zimmermann claims that this invention is
now in use in several theaters in Paris
and Berlin, but for obvious reasons de-
clines to say IN which house it has been
found most popular.
