Vikings of the Big Cities.

From the day when the first blue
fish leaps out Of the summer sea in
front of the pleasure beaches of New
York and New Jersey until the last
school has turned southwark again ii,
October there is never an hour when
the sea off those beaches is bare
of fishermen. Long before dawn
their sails fit past the sandy
points; long after dark they re-
turn. But Sunday is the chosen day;
and so many of the eager ones go
aboard the boats on Saturday, to be
sure of an early start next day, that
most of the railroads around New
York send out regular fshermen's
trains through Saturday afternoon
and night and in the small hours of
Sunday morning.
So well patronized are these that
often the platforms and even the
steps of the cars will be choked with
happy spirits in old clothes carry
ing rods and baskets. They bear all
discomfort as if it were really a part
of the joy; and millionaire and labor
er, shoulder to shoulder, mingling the
smoke of clay pipe and Havana, con-
verse not merely with amiability, but
with volubility and love; for the blue
fish is leveller. The best man in the
race elsewhere may suddenly find
himself the poorest here; and cat
may be able to teach king.
On Saturday night the black waters
of the lower harbor of New York,
and all the bays and creeks within
fifty miles of coast, are beset with
lights ahoat in the dark, and resonant
with song and shout; it is the fishing
navy of the city, sitting in a the un-
wonted snugness of cabins, with ter
restrial skin of bookkeeper, capital
ist, mechanic, clerk and what-not
sloughed off and its marine skin of
| fisherman on.
Next day, when the dawn shines on
a wet boat in wet and heaving sea,
a proportion of the tarry salts will
groan disrnally and regret the merri-
ment of the preceding night; but sea-
| sickness does not overcome many of
these once-a-week Vikings of the big
cities.
They may perch on office stools six
days out of seven On the seventh
they rise nobly to the demands of the
life of the sea, and front squall and
gale with faces that peer as undaunt-
ed from under the southwesters as
the face of any old skipper at the
| helm.

Captain Dow, the Scientific Skipper

Captain Dow, the Scientific Skipper
Not many ship captains have be-
come famous as scientific investiga-
tors, and there is probably none other
whose name is so we'll known in
scientific circles the world over as
Captain John NJ Dow, now a resi-
dent of Panama.
He commanded steamships trading
to Panama and the west coast OF
South America for many years, and
discovered several strange new speci-
mems of marine life One of these
is the only poisonous fish in the Pa
chic. This fish buries its body com
pletely in the sand when watching
for its prey, only its eyes, which pro-
ject far beyond the body, being visi-
Bile.
The "Anableps Dowii," discovered
by Captain Dow in Central American
waters, is another interesting fish. It
is sometimes called "the four-eyed
fish" because its eyes are divided
into two sections. The upper half is
much like the human eye, as it can
see through the air. The lower half
is fsh's eye, adapted to seeing
through water. The fish swims along
the surface, with the upper half of
the eye looking across the water and
the lower half looking down below.
Captain BOWS name has been given
to many fish discovered by himself
or by other ichthyologists who admire
his work It has also been conferred
on one of the most beautiful orchids
found in Central America, "Catte1aya
Dowiana,' sometimes called ''the
queen of the orchid family A fine
mass of these orchids was sold in
London some years ago for $4,000.
When Captain Dow was following
the sea" he sometimes found it diff
ficult to prosecute his scientific in
vestigations. Once, aftef a davis
dredging for new marine specimens,
he put his discoveries into a couple
of buckets on the upper deck and
went to dinner. They were of great
scientific value, and he promised him
self happy evening gloating over
them.
Along came conscientious seaman
and saw the buckets. "Helloi' he
thought. some careless slob has left
this dirty water here. I'd better throw
| 1t overheard before the skipper sees
It. He did SO, and the chief officer
had to hide him down below from

An Informal Dance.

The officers and ladies of the
Post gave a dance at the Admin
istration building, Fort Brown,
Tuesday evening, complimentary
to the visiting officers and ladies
from Fort Sam Houston. The af-
fair was informal, and quite a good
number of the city's social circle
were present and participated.
These entertainments are always
productive of much real pleasure,
and the one last Tuesday was no
exception. Splendid music was
furnished by the 10Th Infantry
band, and all too soon the affair
was ended. Those participating
pronounce the occasion one of the
most enjoyable of the season, and
its repetition is anxiously awaited

Development at LIano Grande

It is learned from ]. ~ Withers
of the Llano Grande Land & Ir
rigation Company that work is be
ing pushed OH this enterprise aud
its rapid development is assured
This company owns the town site
of Llano Grande. which is on Hi
dalgo branch of the Lott road
about fifteen miles from Harrington,
and is about to put in a large II
rigating plant and canal. Mr..
Withers says they now have a hun
bred or more men at work, some

houses. A large fifteen room lodg-
ing house is nearly completed, of

tenant houses are under construc-
ton. Civil engineers are also al

canal and laterals and work on this
will begin very shortly. Water for

ed from the L1ano Grande lake.
The demonstration farm is already
being laid off and planted, under
I the direction of an expert English
gardener, and will show what this
fertile soil can do in the production
Of vegetables and fruits. 1t is ex-
pected that large acreage will be
planted at once in alfalfa, corn and
other grains, about 500 to 1000
acres being devoted to this for the
coming year. Mr.. Withers is quite
enthusiastic about his enterprise
and is carrying on the work with
the utmost energy. He expects tt
bring down his family with severa
of the other members of the com
pany and their families to visit
Llano Grande and have house
party there as soon as the mair
house is completed. The party
will also probably visit Brownsville
and the coast.
