e Fish Mystery.

One strange feature of this sea life
of the tropics is the regular recurrence
of migratory swarms of fish of very
small size that return in huge numbers
year after year with such absolute reg
ularity that the natives calculate on
the event on a certain day in each year
and even within an hour or two of the
day. One such swarm of fish forms
the occasion of an annual holiday and
feast at Samoa The fish is not unlike
the whitehall for which the English
Thames has so long been celebrated,
and each year it arrives at Samoa on
the same day in the month of October
remains for 4 day or at the most two
days and then disappears entirely till
the same day of the following year.
Why II comes or whence no curious
naturalist has yet discovered, nor has
anybody traced its onward course when
it leaves the Samoan group. but the
fact is unQuestionable that suddenly,
without notice, the still waters of the
lagoon which surround each island
within the fringing reef become alive
with millions of fishes passing through
them for a single day and night and
then disappearing for year as though
they had never come.-London Stand
