STRANGE IMPs IN THE SEA.
Capt. Moody Caught One ON Cnpe
Charles Licht.hip.

Capt. Moody Caught One on Cnpe
Charles Licht.hip.
Capt. William Moody of Baltimore
believes there are strange imps in the
sea, because he caught one recently
while fishing off Cape Charles light
ship. Capt Moody is commander of
the lightship, and it is his habit to
keep baited hook, attached to an ex-
tremely long line in the water at all
times. Occasionally this persistency
is rewarded with cod or other tooth
some fish of deep water. The captain
happened to be near the line when the
imp" fish was hooked. He started to
pull it in, and then ensued as pretty
battle as ever warmed the heart OF
fisherman. Several times the creature
was brought to the surface, and on one
occasion it leaped ten feet in the air
After a battle lasting fully an hour the
monster was harpooned and pulled on
deck. The fish weighed about eighty
pounds. The imp" has wings, which
are of the thickness of sailcloth, and
are mottled with blue checks or
squares. The mouth is filled with par
allel rows of conical teeth, the rows
varying from two, in the back part Of
the upper jaw, to eight in 'front.' with
twice these numbers in the lower jaw
The tail has three rows of spines, re J..
sembling the teeth running its whole
length. The limp" has no scales.

1t is hard to realize that the boot,

century, yet he is now celebrating in

from all parts of the world. and the

GUS one. Mr.. Macgregor Of the famous

brigade, and he himself made the first
box for holding the "kit," the model of
those still in use. Idlers jeered the

them, but the public found their serv-

HISTORIC TREES.

Washington Has Many That Were
Plan ed by Famous Amoricans-
It was the custom of the late Charles
writes a Washington correspondent Of
the New York Times. and to spend the
entire day that he gave to sight-see-
ing in looking over the trees OF the
city with William R. Smith, in charge
of the botanical gardens. Mr. Dana
said Of Mr.. Smith that he knew more
about trees than any half-dozen men
of Mr.. Dana's acquaintance. Mr.. Smith
has in his gardens a number OF his
torically interesting trees. There Is
Kentucky oak grown from an acorn
planted by John J. Crittenden, and a
story goes with this information about
the intimacy that existed between
Crittenden, Robert Mallory and John
A. Bingham of Ohio. Not far from
the elm grown from one planted by
George Washington at the time he laid
the cornerstone of the capitol. Work
men killed the tree while excavating
for the architectural terrace at the
west front Mr.. Smith propagated the
new elm from the old roots, and the
new tree was planted where it is by
Senator James B. Beck Of Kentucky.
While Jefferson Davis was secretary
of war his wife gave Mr.. Smith some
seed of the Monterey cypress, from
which was produced fine specimen
near the end of the greenhouse. Two
specimens of the bald variety Of cyp-
ress are named "Forney" and For
rest" one planted by John W. Forney,
an editor, and the other by Edwin For
rest, the actor, 35 years ago. A Chin
ese tree was grown from seed obtained
at the grave of Confucius, and was pre-
sented to the garden by Charles A.
Dana and planted by Representative
Amos j. Cummings fifteen years ago.
Among other well known tree planters
who have left their names are Thad-
deus Stevens, the late Senator Bayard,
who planted an English oak; Proctor
Knott, Daniel w. Voorhees,, ]. S. c.
Blackburn, Lot M. Morrill, and Justin
S. Morrill,, who planted winged elms
thirty years ago; Senator Hoar and
Senator Evarts, and some more recent
arrivals in Washington. There is
Carolina poplar that is interesting as
the parent of 10000 other poplars, liv-
ing in many states of the Union.
