CURIOUS FISH.

They Keep Their Eggs in Natural
Pockets In Thor Months.
In the sea of Galilee, or Lake Tibe-
rias, as 1t is also called, there is a
strange fish named the Chromis simonis,
which is more careful Of Its young than
fish generally are. The male takes the
eggs in his mouth aud keeps them Ia
his natural side pockets, where they
are regularly matched and remain I'M
TIL able to shift for themselves. BY
this ingenious arrangement the. brood
is comparatively guarded against its
natural enemies. 1t is easily fed, too,
but 1t is a puzzle how the little ones
escape being eaten alive. Awhile ago,
says traveller writing to religious
contemporary, found in my net a
number of these fish without eyes.
Others Of the species, when lifted
them up, dropped a number of little
fishes out of their mouths. which swan
away hastily. The natives explained
the phenomenon. The blind chromis ls
the victim of sea hawks. When these
birds have eaten their fill they begin
to look for tidbits. After catching a
fish they hit its. forehead with their
sharp beak, knocking out the middle
Part, in which their eyes are set. The
lbony structure is dropped into the
water, but the eyes are eaten by the
birds with great relish. Strangely
enough. the fish generally survive this

The operation Of modern railroad,
with Its numerous trains running at
high speeds, is made possible by the
use OF what appears to be very COM
pick series Of signals. One glance at
the network of tracks at the entrance
to great railroad terminal mazes the
uninitiated. Every track is correlated
to another. winding and curling now
from this side, now to that. like mass
Of writing, glistening serpents. Yet
over this apparently heterogeneous col
lection OF rails trains are constantly
running, seemingly by some occult gift
picking out their way and avoiding one
another.
The block signal system is plan
devised to prevent two trains going in
the same direction from running to-
gether. A block consists Of a section
of track usually about two miles long.
When the signal is set against a train,
1T must not enter the block until the
proper signal Is given. In this way
tho exnct location of every train is
Kept at the various offices Of the train,
dispatchers.
The semaphore. which Is the usual
type of signal used on roads in the
East, Is very old design. The first
telegraph system was. semaphoric, and
1t has been found to have advantages
over most other types, although the
disk system Is used on some roads, and
some western roads are operated on
what Is known as the staff system, a
block system more extensively used in
England than in this country. ALI Of
these systems have the. same underly-
Ing idea--that of advancing train
block by block or of being able to halt
It before 1t enters block already oc-
cupled. The difference is to be found
!, In the type of signal and the method of
operating 1t.
About 10000 miles of railroad in this
country are operated by some one of
the three systems mentioned. The
semaphore type is used generally in the

East. In installing this system the
posts or arches sustaining the sema
phores are placed at each division
point or at each block terminal, the
distance apart depending on the length
of the block. Where traffic is infre-
quent the blocks may be several miles
long, but at the entrance to great
train shed, such as Union Station, Bos-
ton, where the shortest blocks in the
world may be seen. the distance be-
tween blocks is only a few hundred
feet
Travellers have noticed that at some
points three semaphore arms are set
on one post. To the average rider two
or these appear to be superfuous. On
the contrary, the three arms carry a
very legible signal to the engine driver.
The top semaphore represents the near.
est block: the next the one ahead and
the last the block beyond that. "where

safety of short block system, since
considerable track room Is needed to

The block signal may be controlled
from a station at the end of each track
division. AS the train enters the oper-
