NATIONAL LEAGUE STANDING
FISH IN SAMOA.
Iron Lippineott,s.l


One strange feature of this sea life
of the tropics is the regular recurrence
of migratory swarms of fish of very
small size that return in huge numbers
year after year with such absolute reg
ularity that the natives calculate on the
event on a certain date in each year,
and even within an hour or two of the
day. One such swarm of fish forms the
occasion of an annual holiday and feast
at Samoa. The fish is not unlike the
Whitebait for which the English
Thames has so long been celebrated,
and each year it arrives in Samoa on
the same day in the month of October,
remains for day, or at the most two
days, and then disappears entirely un-
til the same day the following year.
Why it comes, or whence, no curious
naturalist has yet discovered, nor has
anybody traced its onward course when
it leaves the Samoan group; but the
fact is unQuestiOnable that suddenly,
without notice, the still waters of the
lagoon which surround each island
within the fringing reef becomes alive
with millions of fishes, passing through
them for a single day and night and
then disappearing for a year as though
they had never come.
A visit to Samoa enabled me to see
this strange phenomenon for myself
and to witness the native feast by
which it is celebrated year by year I
had been in Samoa for a month and in
that month I had enjoyed almost sur
felt of beauty. had cOasted the shores
of its islands in native canoes; I had
bathed in the warm, still waters of it's

white reef, on which the ocean broke
in golden spray, and to landward by the
silver beach of coral sand, fiecked with
the tremulous shadows of the swaying
palms. / had climbed with my native
guide the abrupt hills, covered with
dense forests of tropical luxuriancc.

Rich Gold Mines In Peru Discovered

Arequipa, Peru, Sept. 27.-There is
likely to be a KlOndike excitement on
limited scale in this part of Peru if the
San Domingo gold mine turns out to be
as rich as expected. 1t is owned by the
Inca Mining company, an American cor
poratiOn. composed chiefly of oil opera

Collins of that state is the largest
stOckholder, and the manager here is
Chester w Brown of Cleveland. An
enormous amount of money has been
spent in the development of the pro-
perty- and the owners are confident
that 1t will prove to be the most profit
able gold mine ever discovered, sur
passing even Ell Callao of Venezuela,
the TreadweH of Alaska and other ia
nous deposits. They are investing their
money upon that expectation. 1t is

the big fellow as he stood in his new
billiard room on Madison street in Chi
cago last Monday afternoon.
