tiers OF the western hemisphere. The
next year another was taken at the
same place. How did this strange
Asiatic fish. common enough on the
Philippine coasts, reach America?
That is one of the puzzles which sci
ence has yet TO solve. The only way
we can account for it is by supposing
that possibly the same fish may in
habit some restricted area in the West
Indian waters, where it has not thus
far been discovered.
''Nor do we need to leave home in
search of archaeological wonders. The
Potomac will, and has already, afford
ed some remarkable cases. Some years
ago the fish commission distributed
spawn of the Lake Superior pike, the
Yarmouth bass, and the Mississippi
channel catfish in the Potomac.
"They have thriven and multiplied
and every now and then some Potomac
fishermen comes in with a strange fish
confident he has caught rarity In
every case it turns out that he has
taken some one or other Of the varie-
ties which we placed in the Potomac
in 1899 In this way we are able to
tell whether or not the fish we plant
in a stream are thriving The chan
mel catfish weplanted in 1889 and heard
no more of them until one day in jan
uarv. 1902. when 100 of them were
caught in a net at Georgetown.
Several years after the war we had
a very dry summer. The Potomac fell
below low-water mark and the sea wa
ter encroached further up stream than
had ever been known. With the salt
water came a lot of sea fish, and for the
first time in the history of this sec
ton fishermen at Fort Washington
caught specimens of the red-mouthed
grunt. spot, whiting, spadefish and
one specimen each of the very curious
toadfsh and sea robin.
"But the most remarkable event that
ever took place in the Potomac was in
the summer of 1880. when porpoise
came up stream to a point just beyond
the Aqueduct bridge. There he re-
NAMED, playing and sporting about for
three days. his gambols witnessed by
thousands of people. lie seemed to be
afraid of the shadow cast upon the wa
ter by the bridge, and, though appar-
emily anxious to return to sea, he would
venture down until within a few feet
of the shadow and then scurry back,
keeping this up for hours at time,
to the amusement Of the onloolIers.
Finally he screwed up courage and
made a wild dash under the bridge,
and when last seen was going down
river at pace that would have put the
master of an Atlantic liner TO shame"

okIahoma,s only battlefield.

The only battle ever fought on what
is now Oklahoma soil took place on
the Washita river near the Antelope
hills. Here in 1868 Gen. Custer, with
900 cavalry, engaged in a deadly COM
bat with Black Kettle, a Cheyenne
chief, with an unknown number of war
riors. Custer lost 10 soldiers and one
officer, but won the fight, killing Chief
Black Kettle with 103 braves and TAX

SPECTER IN COLORADO.
Phenomena of the Broken in the
Hartz Mountains Reproduced
at Green Mountain.

The term mountain specie" is taken
from the Encyclopedia Britannica
where it is noticed under the article
"Halo." The best-known example is
at the Broken in the Hartz noun
tains.
From the description of the phe-
nomenon as observed at that place, it
is inferred that the appearance noted
in Colorado was quite as distinct as
that at that famous locality 1t was
observed February 1 from the top oil
Green mountain near Boulder, Col.
This mountain is high point in the
foothill belt; its summit is $500 feet
above the plains which it overlooks
or about $500 feet above the sea, says
Science.
On the day mentioned, after 4:3O p
m, patches of white cloud were drift
ing below its summit. Occasional snow
furries visited the plains below. The
temperature was apparently below the
freezing point. At the hour of observa-
ton the sun, which was not more than
20 degrees above the horizon, was shin
ing clear at the summit.
Opposite the sun, few hundred feet
distant, was a mass of white or gray
ish cloud. Upon this cloud was seen q
complete circle of rainbow colors. The
diameter of the most pronounced red
ring was estimated at nine degrees.
Outside of this was faint color, and
Their a suggestion of red ina still larger
circle. Within the nine degree red
ring were blue and violet, the center
appearing a dull lavender.
In the field within the bright red ring
appeared the shadow of the observer
which was so definite as to reproduce
all movements of arms and hands.
Each observer saw his own shadow
and the reproduction Of his own move
ments, and could see nothing of the
shadow or movements of his neighbor
if standing more than six or eight feet
away. The phenomenon was watched
about 90 minutes.

HOW THE IRISH QUESTION is SETTLED.

Not long ago a brilliant Irish member OF parliament
