WITHOUT AUTHORITY.
Commissioners Cannot Prevent Dump
ing Mud at Mouth Of Rock Creek.

ing MUD at Mputu oI MOCK CfeeK.
The authorities have no power to prevent
the dumping of mud by the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal Company at the mouth of Rock
creek, according to the reports received by
the Commissioners from the police depart
ment. Recently complaints have been made
that the canal company has been dumping
mud at the mouth of Rock creek, and that
it ultimately washes Into the Potomac
river. q
The matter was brought to the attention
of the local authorities by Mr.. Fred. c.
Warman, civil engineer of the War De-
partment, in the Office of thu United States
engineers In charge Of river improvements.
For the past four years, 1t was stated, the
canal company has used dredge in clean
ing out the canal, and Mr. Warman alleged
that small scow was used to haul the mud
to the mouth of Rock creek from where 1t
washed into the Potomac. He stated that
the engineer department had written the
company each year, and that the company
had promised to secure larger scow and
haul the mud to the regular dumping
ground, but had failed to do so.
Major Sylvester, to whom the matter was
referred, ordered an investigation to as
certain IL the company was violating the
law. Lieutenant Jordan of the seventh
police precinct detailed Precinct Detective
Burrows on the case, and he reported that
the company usually dumped the mud
dredged from the channel onto the banks
and had emptied a few scow loads near the
mouth. and that the mud was often stirred
up from the bottom of the creek by ma
chinery. after which the locks were opened

Reasons for Delay Of Nremen at Wash
ington Barracks Fire.

Fire Chief Belt today reported to Com
missioner mcfarland that one reason for
the delay in getting the engines to work
at the fire in the frame barracks at the
arsenal last Sunday night was because sew
eral of the fire hydrants in the neighbor-
hood were covered with dirt and large
stones. This condition, according to Chief
Belts opinion, is due to the improvements
being carried on In and near the arsenal
grounds, and upon his Recommendation the
Commissioners will notify the arsenal au-
thorities Of the hindrances found by the
fire department.

Toward the close of the reign of
Elizabeth, when the Spaniards were
frequently lowering about the south
west coast of England, a party from
their ships landed in the neighborhOOd

Penryn. 1t CHANGED, however, that that

THE FUNNY PUFFER.
A Fish That blows Himself Up late
ROumd Ball.

A Fish That blows Himself Up late q
R0und Ball.
The funniest little fellow in salt wa
ter is the puffer or swell fish. Fisher
men call him the blow fish.
When he Is swimming around at ease
with nothing to alarm him he looks
queer enough, for the skin of his abdo-
men is all loose and wrinkled, and he
has such a funny little tail and such
ridiculous little fms and such big.
three cornered head that he looks en-
tirely absurd. His mouth, instead OF
being big and gaping, as most fish
mouths are, Ia only tiny round hole
at the end of a pointed. conical snout.
Out of this circular mouth protrude
his teeth, like those of rabbit.
He would be about as hOmely a fish
as could be made If 1t were not for
the beautiful orange and yellow and
silver colorings that play all over him.
But queer as he looks when he Is at
ease it is only when he is frightened
or excited that he becomes really fun
ny. II he Is hooked, for instance he
comes to the surface grinding those
protruding teeth so that the sound can
be heard good many feet away. And
then as soon as the hand touches him
he begins to grunt hOarsely, and with
each grunt he swells a bit till within a
few moments he has puffed himself so
full Of air that he is quite round and
firm like ball. So thoroughly does
he distend himself with air that when
the fishermen hurl him at the water
with all their force, as they often do.
he will bounce just like rubber ball.
If he is dropped into the water after
blowing himself full of air he floats
on 1t as lightly as thistledown. and he
will stay that way until he has assured
himself that danger has gone by. He
does the same when he Is pursued by
other fish. And as he floats almost en-
drely out Of water, with only a little
bit Of his hard, spiny body sunk under
the surface, very few fish can hurt
him once he Is inflated.
