GENEROSITY WAS FORCED.

Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt Compelled
to Give Brother $4,000, 900.
According to statement made by Cor
nelius Vanderbilt the intimation is given
out that the supposedly generous act Of
his brother, Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt,
in transferring to him about $6,O00,0 900 Of
their fathers estate, was brought about
through the intervention of the disfavor-
ed heirs attorneys. 1t is understood
that the amount required to equalize Cor
nelius' portion was turned over to him
in actual cash before he signed the waiy-
er Of citation which took away his right
to contest the will.

WIRELESS TORPEDOES.

Wireless torpedoes whose direction
is controlled by electric waves, such
as are utilized in the wireless tele-
graph system, are said to have been
invented by Walter Jameson and John
Trotter, of England. Two rods which
project above the water serve as re-
ceivers for the electric waves and are
connected with the steering gear. The
electric waves generated by apparatus
in the torpedo boat are discharged as
required to affect one or other of the
receiving rods.

Dyea Is to be Moved on Scows to
Skaguay.
VICTORIA, B. c., Sept. 1O.-E. Fore
man of San Francisco and the citizens
of Skaguay are about to undertake a
big enterprise. Dyea is to be taken up
the whole town at the entrance to
the Chilkoot Pass-and moved across
Lynn canal on scowS to Skaguay to
augment the growing town at the head
of Lynn Canal. The promoters have
been working on the novel scheme for
some time. Mr.. Foreman, who con-
ceived the scheme, he having made
money in a similar venture in Califor-
MIA, has been working quietly at Dyea
for some time, and has secured 800
buildings, large and small. A small
army of men have been employed for
the work of transporting these to
Skaguay.
The majority of the buildings will
be taken across the bay on scOws.
Some of the better class of structures
with good floors, will be calked and
floated across. The Olympic, Bleis and
other big hotels will be carried on a
number of scows punched together.
Mr.. Romo is buying lots at Skaguay on
which the buildings from Dyea will be
placed. The work will commence at
Skaguay on the arrival of Romo from
San Francisco.
In many cases the land was also
purchased with the buildings at Dyea,
and here farm produce will be raised.

FISH WITH TWO TAILS.
Japs Thought They Were Needed and
Grated Them.

Grated Them.
Nearly everyone has seen the pretty
bush-tail goldfish that have four or five
or sometimes more, long, wavy, filmy
tails, but very few people know that
very few of them are born that way.
When the little goldfish are very, very
young, their flesh is as clear as
glass, so that one can see every bone
in their tiny body. AT this time the
few that are born with two or more
tails are put by themselves. and then
a queer-lOOking old Jap. with a great
magnifying glass fastened in front of
his eye and wee sharp tools handy,
reaches down under the water and cuts
off the tails of the plain little fish. and
then three or four or these tails are
pinned on 10 the backbone where the
one was cut off and fastened there
with tiny bandages until they grow
fast.
The japanese, who are very skilful
in queer things of this kind. grow the
finest goldfish in the world, and it is
a very good business, for very fine
fish of this kind often bring as much
as $500 to $500, and one sold not long
ago in San Francisco for 81, ZOO.
