A PLAGUE Of DEVIL FISH.

There Is great anxiety at our south
coast fishing centres consequent upon the
plague of octopus which has ravaged the
channel this season, says the Westmins-
ter Gazette. The returns OF the shell
fisheries for the past season show how se-
rious the visitation is. The crab total has
fallen from S77, 900 To $4,000 and the lob
ster total from 3sS, 600 10 3l9 600 From ex-
periments made at Plymouth II was found
that seven out OF every eight crabs taken
in the usual flshermen's traps during the
second week of October, when the
plague was at it's height. were killed by
octopus and that for every crab safely
taken twenty-one octopus were caught
And three years ago the creatures were
so scarce that single specimens fetched a
high price for the local aquaria and
museums
We owe this destructive visitation TO
our recent succession OF mild seasons
Ordinarily the octopus Is not TO be found
northeast OF Cherbourg, which is the
point Of lowered sea temperature that
separates the marine fauna OF the warm
er seas from the fauna OF our colder
channel. The mild seasons have pushed
this temperature barrier further up
channel for the time being: but there is
very little ground for the fear, which has
been so freely expressed. that our fisher
men have a new and permanent enemy 10
cope with. The normal conditions OF tenn
pcrature will assert themselves. ana the
devil-ilsh hordcs Will retire before them

matte conditions had allowed it. they

LINGO" IS PERSIAN

IF you turn up the Persian dictionary"
writes correspondent In India. you

says the London Truth. Unfortunately I
have not got a Persian dictionary; but.
IL i may take this information on trust,
it throws valuable light on a moot point
Of etymology. The word written 'jang-
jo," and pronounced ''Jung-jo' In Per-
sian. has obviously become lingo" In
English. in which form 1t still means
aggressive. offensive, contentious quar-
resome." The fact that the last sylla-
BILE was I'm the original 80" (sometimes.

Jo, or Joe. in the sense of a follower OF
war or strife, has become merged In tho
English "Jingo." is n curious and inter-

on, however. under the direction OF Cap

Not so very long ago the Saunterer got
off at the twelfth floor of a big office
building not 1000 miles from the City Hall

he concluded he would walk back TO the

AT the foot OF the stairway he almost
ran into an acquaintance, whose office
is on the twelfth floor, and whose weight
very nearly approaches 300 pounds. The
acquaintance was putting and blowing as
he prepared TO ascend the flight OF steps
leading TO the floor above:
Makes you blow to climb a fight OF

terer.

in disorder. because when he heard the
screams of his father, he threw back
the covers OF the bed. Dragging some of
them TO the floor as he rushed from the
room. In his hurry to assist his father,
he also overturned perhaps some articles
of furniture.
ut has been suggested that the com
monwealth will seek to show that Robert
Stewart Fosburg did not dine with the
family on the Sunday evening preceding
the tragedy. that he did not spend the
evening at home in reading and listening
70 sacred songs, but, on the contrary,
was drinking at the Wendell Hotel. and
went home intoxicated
This Is a,vile slsnder that will be easily
refuted. IL can be confidently asserted
that none in Pittsheld ever saw young
F'osburg Intoxicated twill be- shown
by at least seven persons that he did dine
at home that evening and that he was
present at the reading and service Of
sacred songs.
1MPLICATEs QUINN.
In an interview last Sunday the wife of
Jack Smith. member OF the Quinn
band OF burglars, who is now in Jail in
Massachusetts said that Quinn wore
the brown derby hat found in the
Fosburg house when he left Paw
tucket a few days before the tragedy.
When he returned he wore soft black
hat
Mrs. Smith also said that her husband
believed that Quinn, with other burglars
named Patterson and Hackett. entered
the Fosburg house. and when discovered
shot Miss Fosburg. other confessions
and statements have been received to cor
roborate what was told by the wife of
