THE CATFISH ZONE.
And the Origin OF the PHILADELPHIA
Habit ~ Catfish md IVamcs

Habit ~ Catfish md WaHcs.
While pes mists have been Genounc-
ing the extension OF the pie belt
through the United States and the on
largemcnt of the saleratus biscuit dis
trict, they have been entirely oblivious
of the extraordinary development of
the catfish ZOnc. This mischieyous
dweller Of the pool Is known to the
small boy and the rustic angler under
many namcs-in one place as Il sucker,
In another bullhead. in n third a wolf
fish and, most outrageous of all, in
northern Mississippi rs a Shad. But its
own only genuine title is catfish The
name Is derived from the fact that
when the creature is raised from the
water it emts q grunting protest which
poctical fishermen have pronounced
like the purring OF family cat.
Philadelphia produced the catfish
habit. For two centuries the animal
was looked ut as something which
might be eaten to prevent starvation
until one fine day thrifty Quaker
.Sessrd that the catfish would eat boiled
cornmeal and that this simple food not
only fattencd the eater but changed
the color of its belly f I'm white to
yellow. He perceived the Decuniary
value Of the discovery and established
catfish farm in which he fattened the
fishes which he caught elsewhere and
in due season sold them to the Phila.
delphia markets.

ry to the fish when well fried. This
started the catfish and wafil0,, for
which the City of Brothcrly Love has
ever since been famous. The habit
spread like an epidemic, and, like the
star of empire, its way was westward.
So far as is known the United States
government has no record of catfish
and wafiics east Of the Delaware river,
but starting at Philadelphia distinct
catfish zone runs westward, terminal
ing at Denver, reaching as far north
as Minneapolis and st. Paul and as far
south rs Mobile and New Orleans The
catfish is said to possess medicinal yir-
tue. 1t is mildly anmsthetic, soporific
and antispasmodic.-New York Post.

Fish That XIII Each Other.

One Of the queerest sharks Is the
thrasher, which has the upper lobe Of
its tail SO much developed as to equal
In length the body of the fish itself.
This tail is controlled by powerful
muscles and is used as a weapon.
Swordfsh and thrasher sharks have
been seen on many occasions to attack
whales in concert and kill them, the
sharks lashing their victims with their
tails while the swordfsh pierce them
from below. On the other hand, sharks
themselves are often killed by por-
poises. which will surround q shark
and lash the enemy to death with their
flukes.

II You Have to Firht n Boa.

If any reader Of this article should
ever be so unfortunate as to expert
ence the embrace of boa constructor,
1t is recommended that he try to re-
lease himself by taking hold Of the
creatures Sail and unwinding it from
that end. 1t can be easily unwound in
that way, but otherwise it is not posi-
bic. The way to kill n snake is not to
attempt to crush it's head, the bones Of
which are very hard, but to strike the
tail, where the spinal cord is but thinly
covered by bone and suffers readily
from injury. 1t is the same with an
eel. Hit the tail two or three times
against any hard substance, and the
eel quickly dies.
The boas are not venomous, but their
fangs are sufficiently powerful to in
f1ict serious wounds.

COAL STRIKE

TRANSATLANTIC LINERS WHICH
COULD NOT GET FUEL TO
LEAVE NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, oct. 1.-two trans
Atlantic steamships were unable to
leave this port yesterday as scheduled,
because they We're unable to secure
enough coal. They were the North
German liner Grosser Kurfuerst, and
the Pottsdam, of the Holland-American
line. The former will not leave her
pier until seven O'Clock this morning,
though she was to have gotten away
at ten o'clock yesterday. The Potts
dam was delayed six hours, getting out
at four o'clock instead of ten.
The North German liner had FIVE
hundred tons left in her bunkers after
making the trip across, but seven hun
dred tons more were needed. This
amount was promised by the Berwind-
White company, but owing to the diff

time set for sailing, and the coal was

crowd had hit Cordes in the mouth
with some overripe hen fruit. The ora
tor did not in consequence finish telling
what he could not swallow, but the au-
dience saw that he seemed to be gulp-
ing over a part of the egg. Everybody
laughed but Cordes did not see the
joke, although he could smell the egg.
Il dare the man who throwed that egg
to come up here" he shouted. But no
body came, so Cordes retired to the
nearest pump.

THREATENED IRISH ROW.
Live Wires Caused Fire Last
Night.

Had it not been for the heavy rain
that prevailed Sunday night there would
have been a serious conflagration in
Irish Row. In fact the famous place
might have been totally destroyed by
fire. Irish Row is that portion of
Young street between Alapai and Ka-
piolani streets. The residents are all
good tenants and lions and lambs alike
lie down together in neighborly peace
and good fellowship in that part of
Young street,
About 10 o'clock last night, the
insulation of the electric wires got out
of order. The wires fell down. One of
the live wires set fire to Chester Doyle's
famous cottage. Close to Doyle's place
is Larry Dee's two story residence. 1t
was too dangerous for the time being
to venture into the yard or on the roof
of Doyle's residence for the live wires
were down. The heavy down pour
however eXtinguished the fire on
Doyle's roof and saved the cottage for
hotter times.
Doyle communicated with the cleo
trio people and warned them of the
danger.
