SWARMS OF FISH.
Danes Discover Northern Waters Are
Filled with Cod and Herring
Which Can BE ScoOped Up.

a Danish navy officer who has just
returned from Iceland says the Dam
ish government has observed that
the fishing area is moving northward
owing to the large and destructive
catch in waters adjacent to the
Scandinavian countries. 1t has,
therefore, undertaken a survey of
waters near the Farce islands, lee
land, and the regions in the vicinity
of the polar circle. This work ID
conducted by the navy and the re-
suits are interesting and will prove
of great value to the fishing inter-
ests of Denmark. 1t has been discov-
cred that immense quantities of fish,
especially cod and herring, are to
be found in those waters.
On one trip the Danish ship DANA
sometimes plowed through shoals of
these varieties for long distance,
when they could be scooped up with
out any fishing tackle. New banks
were discovered, some of them Of
great extent. These appear to be
new homes for the fish. and they
possess the necessary requisites for
feeding them and rearing their
young. The eyes of English, French,
German and Norwegian fishermen
have been turned to Iceland and they
are beginning to go there in larger
numbers for the purpose of partici-
pating in the catch.

APPLE TREES IN BLOOM.
Odd development Of the Warm
Weather imGag the Trees In
>haw's tmrdru At Il. Louis.

Who ever heard of apple trees in
blossom in November? Yet that was
the case at Shaw's Garden. The
Springlike weather during the month
of November apparently deluded the
crab apple trees into believing that
spring had already come. ine crab
apple trees were not alone, either.
HyacinthS aud other spring flowers
showed indications of blussoming in
full glory. This was an unnatural
condition, and, according 10 Supyrin-
tendcnt Journey, is very .ikcl! 10 RI
suit diSastrouSly. 1t was a pleasing
sight, nevertheless, L. see IA, apple
trees loaded with pink and white
blossoms, while their neighbors were
devoid of any foliage whatever. \
curious fact WIS that there are no
leaves at all on any of the trees.
Superintendent Gurncy has made
study of trees and plants for many
years, and he says it is seldom that
such condition happens. The fact
that the trees were filled with sap
greatly endangers their lives, should
a cold snap come" said he. "rhe
sap under the bark would freeze and
the result would he that the bark
will break. Even il the trees are not
killed they will not blossom again
for another year"
"PlantS and trees are just like hu-
man beings" said Superintendent
Gurney. They require exactly the
same attention, believe they are
almost as susceptible a people, too.
For instance, those crab apple trees
really think that spring has come.
Now, their harder neighborS know
better, and will not think of h'"um-
ing until the proper time comes"
The garden has been visited by hun
drcdN of spectators duriu" the last
few days to see the dclndcd. bur

FIGHT WITH PYTHON
Ship Captain Has Desperate Battle
with Reptile on Board Vessel.
The Mate Flashes Light on the Mon
Hter While the Captain Uses an
Ax-snake shows Fight
to the Last.


The steamship Afridi, Capt.
Thomas Golding, has arrived at New
York from Shanghai and Singapore
with a cargo of teas, spices and wild
animals, and the best snake story
that ever got by quarantine. The
snake was python, "a feet long and
a foot or more in diameter. The py-
thon was taken aboard at Singapore
together with a Bengal tiger and
other pets. On the second night out
from Shanghai the python knocked
the top off its box and squirmed into
the temporary wooden home on the
bridge deck, where most of the ami
mails were kept. This was just after
dark.
The mate was ON the bridge ami
the animals made such a commotion
that the captain wanted to find ont
what was the matter. When he UNI
locked the door every bird and beast
was screaming, but each seemed to
be in the right place. AS he stepped
farther in shaft of moonlight
showed him something that looked
like Il coil of rope, but rustled a lit
tie. The coil frightened and vicious
head shot up from it, center, Capt,
Golding promptly jumped through
the door of the animal house and
slammed it behind him. Then he and
the mate held council Of war.
The captain related the rest of the
story thus: abe mate and | de-
cided that we could do the job our
selves. knew that flash from a
lantern would confuse the python.
So ! armed the mate with lantern
and took Il carpenters AK. Then
