ONE MOONFISH BLIND.
Meal Time for shining Exhibit AZ the
Aquarium.

In one of the ground floor tanks on tho
salt water side in the New York Aquarium
there are two moonfishes that have been
there now five years, which is very proba bly,
longer than any moonfshes have ever been
kept in captivity before; for the moonfsh
is very nervous and sensitive and susceptible
TO shock and difficult to keep.
The moonfsh is very deep bodied fish
almost as wide as it is long; and its body is
extremely thin. It swims on edge, and its
broad side looks like bright. glistening,
polished mother OF pearl.
kaThe smaller OF these two moonfshes.
when it came in five years ago, was about
the size Of, and about the shape of, a silver
dollar, but brighter than any coin ever
turned out. This fish is now about eight
inches in length, and IA bright as ever, but
within the last six weeks II has become
blind in both eyes.
Blind. the moonilsh ant look out for itself
AT feeding time but the folks of the Aquar-
ium look out for ii, When the food il dropp, d
into the tank for the larger moonfish and
the other fishes there, the blind moonfish
is fed with killies or whatever the food
may he, handed down to it Individually on
the end of a stick.
Say it's killie. This, impaled loosely on
the stick, Is thrust down into the water in
the neighborhood of the blind moonfsh and
Drought gently INTO contact win It's nose,
Like a flash for quickness. though it can't
see, the moonfish darts at II and nips it of :,
and then 1t swiIns around in that spot in a
narrow circle, ~ though expecting, there,
where il had found one killie, to find more
Nor Ii II disappointed. While II is SWIM
ming around in that manner the man w
above Is loosely securing another kilhe on
the end Of the stick, and in a minute his one
Is passed down to the blind moonfish, to be-
touched 10 its nose, again, or perhaps To be
scented by the fish before it touches. and
then ZIP" and tho blind moontish has got
killie number two.
Three or four klllies at a time are enough
for II with what little it is likely 10 pick up
around the tank; but the Aquarium folks see
that Il gets them. The blind moonilsh Ia

BADLY SIGHTED RIFLES.
A Hunter In the North Woods Learns
Why His shots Missed.

Any owner of gun factory or its foreman
will tell a buyer that all rifles before they
leave the shop are not only tested thoroughly
to ascertain their resistance TO powder
charges, but are also sighted with the ut
most accuracy. This Is not wholly true
They are tested with heavy charges
charges four times ar large as those which
will be used in the heid-and no rifle from
a good maker ever explodes in its pos
SCISSORS hands: but there is good deal Of
hurry-up work in factories particularly In
American fact cries, and the sighting is
sometimes defective. There was recent
Instance Of this in he North Woods.
The man in question had bought Is
caiibre rifle e on" OF the leading American
makers. 1t mad handsome stock, the
steel was we'll engraved and he pad $40 for

shoulders and it went down with both fore
legs broken. The bullet had passed through
eight inches below the point aimed at.
That gave him an idea, He took the
rifle to the hotel, put il in wise set up
outside, and targetcd II carefully. 1t
threw regularly more than fix inches low
at 100 yards.
He moved the rear sigh, up a notch and
did better. moved II up another notch
and did better still, moved II up third
notch and the rifle shot az true To a hair,
Tho rear sight now rests on the third notch

Hunt Down There.

TUcKAHoE, y. j.. Dec l3.-1he crop of
gray foxes is large one in south Jersey
this winter In every strip Of woodland
and swamp they may be found in abun-
dance. A month ago the quail and rabbit
hunters met with hundreds of the little
gray-coated animals in their rambles
through the woods A few were killed.
In the great swamps along the Tucka-
hoe River the foxes find a cover, which
for wildrcss has no equal south OF the
Great North Woods 1t takes an expert
enced man to find his way in and out of this
waste. Bear and many deer find shelter
there
The shooting in the tangled mass Of
uIdcrbrush tests the hunters ability as
10 other shooting will. The gray fox is
as quick as a flash. and the nv ter who
Is slow ON the trigger can 81; 10 have
poor success. The animal wi y him
through the underbrush like freak.
and before the gun is brought tire shoul-
der there will be no fox TO shoot at
But the fox hunters are handicapped by
lack Of good hounds Last winter two Of
them with rabbit hounds raised fox
from his burrow. and after a short chase
came to an open field There they were
surprised to see the fox and their rabbit
hound at play.
Some hunters have imported foxhounds
from Pennsylvania this year, and with the
coming Of the first snowfall they expect
TO enjoy good sport.

Danger OF . Guide Who Had Just Killed
Doe on . Runway.

John Simpson, one Of the guides OF the
Flambeau region, was In the woods re-
Gently looking for deer. No amateur
hunter wanted his services on that day
and he thought TO kill little time and
make little profit on his own book Many
a guest at hotel in that region will give
$40 for handsome buck, take il home with
him and astonish his friends
Simpson left his cabin early in the morn
ing and covered lot Of miles, but found
nothing. Late in the afternoon. when re-
turning by another route, he stopped by the
side Of runway to rest. Having rested
a little and being sure that there were no
deer about, he lighted his pipe; his rife
lay upon the ground near him.
He had taken not more than dozen
whifYs when a doe came down the runway
at a smart trot His pipe fell from his
lips and he reached for his gun as he whis-
tied The doe stopped.
Simpson sighted hastily and fired. The
doe sprang straight upward for a yard
and f. IL 10 the ground dead; the shot had
passed thr ough the brain.
Simpson rose quickly and started to-
ward her He made couple Of steps
and then stopped in amazement, for COM
ing down The runway with his nose within
two inches Of the ground and travelling
rapidly was a splendid buck.
He had been trailing the doe He was
in highly excited state, his neck swelled
to one and half times its natural size
and his eyes glowing. He was not in a
mood to pay any attention TO man or beast
Simpson fired at him. The buck reeled
as the gun cracked and came near falling:
but recovered himself and half second
later charged straight at the wisp Of powder

the doe without noticing II ana came for

Then he did the only thing possible
He threw himself behind tree which was

Lewis Of Chicago had one of the latter on
the Flambeau River not long ago and was
glad of it.
Tho guide had poled the boat up and
down stream for an hour or two, trolling
all Of the pools without success. when the
fish struck. 1t struck with a force and
savageness that showed it to be a good one
and its first rush took out some fifty feet 81

The guide snatched the boat into the mid
die Of the stream and started up Il, with
Lewis in the stern and holding on like grim
death. The angler had a steel rod and a big
double-multiplying reel and WAS not afraid
of any part Of his tackle. so he thumbed the
line hard and let the guide do the drag
