PARIS TO NEW YORK BY LAND
Thin Strip of Water Between France
and the United States.

Thin Strip of Water Between France
and the United States.
In Harper's Bazaar Harry de Windt,
the famous traveller, writes Of the trip
on which he Is now engaged, From
Paris to New York by Land" Here is
the outline of this seemingly impossible
journey:
From Paris to New York by land"
exclaims the insular Briton, who, from
sheer force of habit, cannot dissociate
trip to the United States from gigan-
tic liners and stormy sea. "Why, the
thing is impossible! Surely to get
from France to America you must cross
the Atlantic ocean, This view is per-
haps eXcusable, for the world Is wide,
and since the inception of my proposed
journey have met cultivated people
unaware of the fact that France and
the United States are only actually d.
vided by narrow strip of sea, but lit
tie wider from shore to shore than the
Strait Of Dover.
Bering Strait, however, is far away,
and to reach it entails an arduous jour
ney, parts of IT almost as wild and in
accessible as, say central Greenland
or uneXplored Tibet. AT present, In
darker Siberia. the traveller must be
prepared for physical hardships from
intense cold to semi-starvation. He
must face the risks attendant upon sled
trips in the polar regions; furious bliz-
yards, shifting ice and painless waste
of some 500 miles, with few resting
places. Such huts as exist are rude
walrus hide shanties tenanted by
Tchuktchis, race of people, filthier, If
possible, in their habits and habitations
than the Alaskan Eskimos. Such stu
pendous journey, without great OBJ
ject, would be not only fruitless, but
productive Of unnecessary discomfort
and danger. My object, however, Is to
try and tighten this dark and dreary
portion of the earth's surface, and to
prove, if possible, the feasibility Of en-
tering a comfortable train de luxe"
in Paris, and emerging from it, little
the worse for the journey, in New
York. Even under these luxurious con-
ditions the trip will still be long one
but fancy that many "mal de mer"
martyr would cheerfully endure 1t In
preference to the unspeakable distress
of an ocean-crossing in dirty weather.
The question of passenger traffic is,
however, of very secondary Importance
In the great scheme under conSidera-
tiOu.

PECULIAR FISH FOUND IN CHINA
Appears to Be Equally at Home in Mud
as in Water.


as in Water.
AT one of the many creeks that make
network Of the district round the
mouths of the Canton river, and which
form the harbor of Macao, an odd fish
ing Industry is carried on by the poor
est class of Chinese. Like the other
branches of the Canton river, this
creek brings down an enormous
amount of matter in suspension, which
is gradually but surely filling up the
harbor. At low water large expanses
of mudflat are uncovered. There are
miles of it, of a yellowish- brown TINT,
consisting of the soil of the country
which the river traverses. This mud,
by the way, Is of marke etable value,
great quantities being dredged up by
native mudboats and used at Macao
and Hongkong for cement making,
says the London Science Gossip.
These mudtiats are the home of a
species of goby of the genius "Boleoph-
thalmus," very nearly allied to the So
called walking fish, "Periophthalmus."
They are, like the mud, of yellowish-
brown color, mottled with darker
brown and spotted with few bright
blue markings on the upper part of
the body and dorsal and tail fms. These
gobies, like their allies, are soft-skln-
ned fish, with exceedingly small scales,
and average about five inches in length.
The eyes are very close together, and
on the top of the head.
When the tide is out these fish lie on
the surface of the mud in vast num-
bers, sometimes taking a series OF lit
tie jumps like a frog, and at others
moving slowly by the aid of their fins,
which they use like the fippers of a
seal or walrus, so that they appear as
IL walking. When disturbed they bur-
row vertically into the mud. If in
water they lie on the bottom, seldom
rising much above it. They have IA
habit of raising and depressing the
dorsal fins, especially when chasing one
another. This goby is very fond of
climbing on to a stone or mangrove
stem, right out of the water, where it
will stay for a considerable time.
When the tide is ON the ebb one
meets motley crew of old AMI young,
decrepit and able-bodled mud fishers,
going to the tidal flats with their mud
boards on their heads or shoulders
armed with baskets, pots and pans of
every description. Some of the sledges
have box nailed on them to act both
as handle bar and a receptacle for the
fish. A woman will even fish with a
child strapped on her back in the usual
Chinese fashion. These poorer people
do not eat the fish themselves, but sell
them at about 20 cents per catty; that
Is, about 5 pence for one and a third
pounds-and it takes many Of the fish
to weigh pound. This fish has many
enemies besides the Chinese. Herons
of several species, and even the kites
and no doubt other birds are always
on the watch for it. 1t must be very
prolific as the numbers do not seem to
decrease, and it Is in season as far as
Chinese IDEAS go, all the year round;
but then anything "chow-able" is in
season with q Chinaman.
