Torpid Fish Spread Disease.

Several persons in South Minneap-
oils have been i'll, and some critically,
by eating fish that have been scooped
out Of the Mississippi river in enor-
nous quantities by small boys 1t is
believed that the fish have been poi
soned by gas waste that has been car.
r1ed into the river. The boys who
caught the fish tell a strange story.
Down between the two government
dams, they say, at the only approach
to the river in that neighborhood, they
saw fish floating near the surface of
the water. Wading in, they were able
to pick up the fish at will, throwing
them on the bank. The fish were alive,
but seemed to be in a torpid state.
Tubs and express wagons were load

ton known to river fishermen Min.

est, yet richest, grave in the world.
Late in the spring of 1889, Louis
Gilbert left his home in Kentucky for
visit to his uncle's mine in the
Northwest. He had lung trouble, and
the doctor had ordered an outdoor
life. While his health improved, he
became infected with another ailment,
perhaps the only one to be caught at
that great altitude-the gold fever.
Miners were his only associates, the
talk was all of lodes. leads and drifts,
and The only communication with the
outside world was by the train OF
pack mules that carried the heavy
ore sacks down the winding trail. So
it was not surprising that his walks
took the character Of prospecting
tours and carried him farther and
farther from camp Late in October,
when his visit was nearly over, he
started with three days food for a
last trip, into new territory From
cOnfcal mountain top about ten miles
west Of the mine, he had looked over
a AO"Cl Idu6S VI ouIllLIIS " d Slcdl
expanse of wild and broken country
that he had never explored.
The weather was like summer when
he started. but thirty-six hours later,
on the evening of the second day, a
fierce snowstorm set in. BY mid
night, the first blizzard of the season
was raging through the mountains.
On the third day the storm still
howled furiously, but searching par.
ties were sent out with faint hope
Of finding the. young prospector be-
fore the trails became entirely i'm
pGssable. In the dim twilight of the
afternoon they returned one by one,
almost worn out, convinced that the
body of the missing man would not
be found till the warm winds of
spring should melt away the drifts.
Yet, as humane precaution. lights
were set in cabin windows, and guild.
ed by one Of them, Louis Gilbert
staggered into camp and fell like q
dead man before the mess-room door.
He was taken from the snow,
wrapped in blankets and laid before
blazing fire. When he showed signs
of life he was given hot drinks and
undressed. His prospector's belt

story of his wonderful discovery. On
the east side of stream, In canyon
80 terribly wild and broken that it
was almost impossible, he had found
the gold on the very face Of ledge.
Filling his belt. he had started to
blaze his way back. when the storm
came down with frightful violence.
The rest Of the journey was simply
horrible nightmare.
AS nothing could be done while the
snow lasted, Gilbert returned to Ken
tucky for the winter, yet could think
OF nothing but his gold mine.
Early in the spring he was back at
his uncles mine, waiting impatiently
for the snow to melt and be carried
away by the swollen streams. Final
ly, after a tedious delay, he set out
with small party of miners all eag-
er to have hand in locating the rich
prospect.
"HelPs Canyon!" exclaimed the
foreman, as, skirting Cone Top noun
tain, Gilbert pointed out the way. One
OF the men, Mexican, declined to go
any farther with the party, and the
foreman explained to the wondering
Gilbert:

them found a big treasure there and

Froa-Mouth a Queer Bird.

There may now be seen in the Zoo
logical Society's eastern aviary q
specimen of curious Australian
bird. known as the frog-mouth. 1t
is Queer-looking bird, and with its
mottled plumage and quaint postures
It has rather the appearance of an old
tree stump. as it stands motionless on
it's perch. 1t is of nocturnal habits
and If disturbed during the day it
takes it's heavy flight to a neighboring
perch, and Immediately drops of to
sleep again. One of the most charac-
teristic features Of this bird (podar-
Eus) Is its enormous mouth. It's great
round eyes give it something of the
look of an owl. which, indeed. in other
respects, it closely resembles. It
feeds upon small birds. mice, insects,

CHARM OF VICTORIA FALLS

pass Those of Nlauara,

pass Those OF Niagara.
How the Victoria falls impress a
visitor is recorded in Miss C. W.
Maclintosh's journal Of a recent tour
in South Africa. Miss Macintosh
says: I'VE perceived no hint Of the
falls, only seeing before us screen Of
rocky.based, bright green forest ap.
parently closing in the river, like a
lake. Ten minutes walk brought us
to the camp on cliff which literally
overhung the gorge, and we saw the
cataract laundering down into the
Boiling Pot at our feet. The walls
of the chasm, 400 feet high, were
spanned by rainbow. The charm OF
these falls lies not in the one over
whelming crash as at Niagara, but in
the cumulative effect Of various
glimpses. the matchless beauty Of the
surroundings and the strangeness of
the whole setting. but chiefly in the
columns of spray, called the thunder
Ing smoke and in the ever-changing
rainbows. The mile-wide river sud
denly drops into yawning crack in
the ground, stretching right across the
stream at right angles to the banks,
