One Of the directors of the Norwe-
gian fisheries has been endeavoring to
discover the height salmon will leap
when clearing waterfall which OBJ
structs its passage upstream. Masts
were placed below the fall to insure
accurate measurements. It is stated
that a fish can leap to the height of
twenty feet. When a fish failed to
clear the fall at one bound it remain
ed in the falling water, and then. with
a rapid twist of the body, gave a
spring and was successful.

Detroit, Mich, Oct. IA special
to the Journal from Saginaw, Mich,
says: Early Saturday morning bur-
glars, who had previously blown
open the safe in the Office of the
United States Graphite company here
and secured $50 in cash and 5000 in
checks, terrorized the inhabitants of
the village of Fosters, near here.
They captured Night Waterman
Jones, bound and gagged him. Then
they took him to Harden's hardware
store, where they blew open the
safe. Unable to open the strong
box, they made the Waterman con-
duct them to Harden's home, expect
ing to compel Harden to go to his
store and open the cash drawer of
the safe. Harden was prepared for
them and opened fire. The burglars
used the captive Waterman as shield
to Harden's fire. Jones was shot in
the hand, but none of the burglars
were hit. The shooting aroused the
villagers and the burglars fled.

The humming bird, of which there
are 1000 varieties, is found only in
America and the adjacent islands. The
only food that will be of any avail in
the proposed attempt to convey some
of these birds to Europe is honey. 1t
it not very difficult to keep humming
birds alive in cages for a few weeks
in summer, but it is almost impossible
to get them through the winter.

The British admiralty Office has be-
come impressed with the idea that
stocking is work that should not be
left to the uneducated laborers who
now perform the work, but should
be thoroughly understood, if not ac-
tually performed, by all naval cadets.
Hereafter, all cadets or naval appren-
tees must take turn at stocking.

The carrier pigeon, when travelling,
never feeds. If the distance be long
it flies on without stopping to take
nutriment, and at last arrives thin,
exhausted, and almost dying. If corn
be presented to it it refuses to eat,
contenting itself with drinking little
water and then sleeping. Two or
three hours it begins to eat with
great moderation and sleeps again inn
mediately afterward.

Long ago the rustllng life of the
Tenderloin shortened the current des-
ignation of the habitual morphine
taker from dope fiend to plain dope,
says the New York Sun. In the pro-
cess of mutation the term dope shop
came to signify more often the resort
of dopes than place for the sale and
purchase of dope. The dope shops are
as well known as any other class of
dives, and like various other classes
have their regular followings. Out of
this condition has come lately a pc
culiar product of this curious district.
1t is nothing less than a victim Of the
drug who has turned the necessities
and appetites of his miserable fellows
into means of livelihood. He is a
dope of dopes, who could not work If
he would and perhaps would not If he
could. He is not old. but the mort
cages on time which he has given to
spend life under the seductive beckon-
ing of his only charmer are recorded
on his face. Late in the afternoon and
night after night he meanders in the
district haunted by the men and wom-
en- who are morphine's victims. He
carries in his pocket rusty syringe,
and a supply of dope, and he goes
among the nervous wrecks and sells
them what they crave at dime
a jab. He knows where to find them,
and they have come now to know
where and when to look for him. They
call him the dope doctor. Both women
and men are his patrons, and they ap-
pear to have welcomed his advent. And
the Tenderloin adds to the number of
its products the successful practitioner
in contraband.

Men who Talk to rhemseIIxes,

"A western physician made his first
visit to New York last week and at a
semi-pubiic dinner on Saturday even
ing he happened to be seated with men
who had spent all of their lives in
this city, says the New York Sun. One
of them said to him: Doctor have
often wondered how New York would
impress thinking man on his first
visit. What impresses you most in
the streets?" "The thing which first
attracted my attention. said the ply
sician, land which still holds 1t is the
fact that most of the men whom one
passes in the streets are talking to

FREAKS OF rHuNDER1oLrs.
Mountains Seem to BE Engaged In an
Electrical War.


Mountains Seem to Be Engaged In an
Electrical War.
Professor Ellsworth Huntington says
that during the geological trip through
an almost unvisited,part of the Taurus
mountains in Turkey he heard Of pc
culiar electrical phenomenon. One of
the natives told him that one noun
tain near his village fought with an
other mountain on the other side of
the Euphrates river. The weapons
were balls Of light, which the noun
tains threw at each other. Professor
Huntington thought at first, as the re-
gion was one of volcanic activity in
comparatively recent times, and as hot
springs and extinct craters are still
to be seen, that this must be a tradi-
tional account of a volcanic eruption.
He was, however, convinced subse-
quently that the story had it's origin
in meteorological phenomenon. The
story is detailed to him by ten or
twelve men whom, he saw at five diff
ferent places within an area Of forty
miles was as follows: A ball of fire
would start from one mountain and so
like a flash to another AT the same
time there is a sound like thunder.
This occurs by night or by day, al
though by day no light is seen. 1t al
ways occurs when the sky is clear and
never when it is cloudy. 1t sometimes
happens two or three times in a year,
and then again it is not seen for sew
eral years. For the last two years it
has not been seen. 1t hardly ever hap
pens except in the fall, at the end of
a long, dry season Of three months.
One of the mountains which he visited
was composed of metamorphic schis-
tose shale of the eretaceous age. Its
height is 1850 feet and it's top is COM
paratively fiat According to one &C
count the ball of fire was at first small,
but grew larger as it passed over, and
then grew smaller again Professor
Huntington believed that in this case
the observer was standing between the
two mountains. While meteorologists
have not been ready with explanations
of these mysterious lightnings, it is
mentioned that there are peaks on the
Rocky mountains on which almost
continuous electrical discharges have
been observed, but they pass off into
the air quietly, like st. Elmo's fire,
and never in great flashes from peak to
peak. 1t is also known that a cloud or
mass of electrified air that has not
quite attained the cloudy condition
may lie between two peaks, and flashes
may proceed from it simultaneously to
the two peaks in such way as to lead
a careless observer to say that one
peak discharged over the other.
