that bridges have been destroyed. railway

There does not appear to be any difficulty
about the too rapid multiplication of the
beavers in districts where fur trapping
Indians ply their craft. These clever
hunters doubtless gather in the beavers
as they come along, law or no law. There
Is always wide latitude allowed to the
aborigines in all game law matters.

A FISH LIKE 4 CAPITAL y.
The Life History Of Tiny Two Headed
Lake Trout.

Among the little fishes hatched out from
lot OF lake trout eggs in the hatchery at
the Aquarium, there was one with two
heads joined to one tail. 1t was in form
like capital letter y, with head at the end
of ea ch arm.
This was not very unusual thing, for
among the fishes born in any hatchery
there Is likely to be limited number Of freak
fshes-fshes with two heads and one tail,
or with two heads and two tails. or perhaps
with one head and two tails But this par
ticular little lake trout turned out to be
quite unusual In two respects namely in
the duration Of It's life. and in the manner
Of its survival.
Commonly these little freak fishes do not
live much beyond the time required for the
absorption OF the yolk sac from which the
fish derives its sustenance until it is able to
feed in the ordinary way. This little freak
lived for much longer than that period,
and one head long survived the other.
As a rule when one of the heads of a two
headed fish dies, the other goes within a
week or two, but in the case of this little
fish, one head survived the other for two
being four months.
Originally the two heads Of this little
fish were on an even line, like the ends Of
Us arms, and 80 they continued to grow
until at tho end Of two months one head.
from the tail Of the fish. died. But, living
on instead Of dying soon, and feeding,
and continuing to grow, the living head,
and that part Of the body Of the fish to
which 1t was attached, grew out beyond the
line Of the lfeless head, and came practically
to constitute the fish. with the lHeless head
projecting now from Its side. like the thick
stub Of the sawed-off branch of a tree pro-
jeoting from the side Of the trunk. The
lifeless head was, at last. about O third of
the length Of the fish back from the head
surviving. The total length OF the fish
when it died was about l a inches.
Seven months and a length OF two inches
make perhaps the record for such freak
fishes. a double-headed rainbow trout
having once been raised to that age and
length at the United States Fish Hatchery
at Duluth. MINI. They would be wonders,
these anny freaks. IL they could be raised

Now At tho Aquarium.
The Aquarium has now on exhibition tho

in length as much as or feet, but this one
at the Aquarium is nevertheless big green
turtle.
1t has already begun feeding. eating
ulva, or sea lettuce, and eel grass. Eel
grass is what they feed captured green
turtles on while holding them for slaughter
at the canning places. There they hold
such turtles in corrals, or staked enclosures
in the water, not to be killed In that tropi-
cal or sub-tropical climate until needed.

adieu, and plunged into its waters, to be
seen no more.
SuperStitiouS persons assert that even to
this day in times OF great calamity and
misfortune, when the moon spans the sky
and shines serene in the high heavens
streaking with siivery fringe the gentle rim
pies Of the lake, shadowy form is seen
gliding on its waters in light canoe, with
hands extended heavenward and they saw
that all at once, uttering a wild and I'M
earthly Shrek, the shadowy form plunges
head!onG into the waters and disappears
while the terror-stricken denizens OF the
forest answer the shrieks with bowls and
lugubrious hootings
From that time lake Ca-ta-ou-Ia became
the sacred lake of the Indians, and every
year they repaired to this spot to propitiate
the great Manitou with their offerings and
sactlAces. Into its crystalline waters they
plunged themselves to get cleansed of their
moral ana physical impurities; into its sa-
cred waters they dipped their amulets and
arrows to avert approaching calamities and
10 protect themselves against the devices of
the evil spirit. He who could not make
this yearly pilgrimage felt respondent and
unhappy, and his inability TO follow the
others in the sanity journey BODIED him no
good.
If while performing his immersion in the
lake one should happen to drown, his men,
DRY was execrated and his death was con-
sidered the judgment of the great Manitou
as an atonement for the crimes committed
by him.
The lake is still called Ca-ta-ou-la the
lake of sacrifice, but the great Manitou,
like his Indian worshipers, is now thing
of the past.

LEGEND OF LOUISIANA.
Lake Ca ta-ou-la known to Indians as
the Lake of Sacrifice.
From the New Orleans States.

From the New Orleans States.
Lake Ca-ta-ou-la, the sacred lake of the
Indians, lies ensconced, as II We're, in the
deep solitude of the forest which skirts the
Attakapas prairie on the east side Of the
Teche at about nine miles from the town of
st. Martinville. The beauty of its scenery
and its picturesque landscapes have prona-
ably equal in the state. Its waters have
the transparency of crystal, and its depth
averages from 90 to 100 feet.
The word Ca-ta-ou-la means the lake OF
sacrifice. The following legend, as dra-
matte and tragical as the biblical narrative
of the death of Jephtah's daughter, gives
US the origin of that name.
|. The Tetimetchec Indians, being threat
ened with dire calamity. the nature of
which we know not, their prayermen con-
suited their oracles, and were informed that
to propitiate the great Manitou and TO
avert the calamity fair maiden of the
tribe was to be sacrificed to the cruel god
and her soul drowned In the placid waters
of Lake Ca-ta-ou-la.
The beautiful At-ta-la. the fair daughter
of the chief. offered herself a willing vic
tim to propitiate the Great Spirit.
Dressed in all the finery and picturesque
ness of apparel of an Indian princess, she
repaired to the lake in whose waters she
was to find watery grave, followed by the
weeping maidens and by the stern warriors
OF the lr1De.
She glided in her light canoe on the wa
tiers of the lake until she had reached the
middle of the stream, and with eyes up
raised and hands extended toward the heay-
enly mansion of the great Manitou. she Of
fered him her youth and her life blood as
a sacrifice to propitiate him and to avert
the calamity that threatened her people.
With radiant smile she then turned to-
ward the shore of the lake where knelt the
weeping maidens. She waved her hand
gently to them, bidding them an eternal

In the eighteen years of its existence the
