One Fish Didn't Grow.

A number of men were telling of re-
markable catches off Atlantic City, and
one Of them said that one day he
caught a very small cod, and, not car
ing to take home such a little fellow,
he took piece of copper wire, ran 1t
through the tail Of the fish. and on one
end of the wire he attached a copper
tag with his name scratched upon II.
"The next year when ! was OF there"
continued the man, II got heavy pull
on the line, and after FIVE minutes
fighting landed a twelve pound cod.
and there on its tail was my tag"
"That reminds me of a similar ex.
perience of there" said another man.
81 caught one of those small cod, and
i wanted to hang some sort Of identif-
cation on 1t. but j couldn't find any
thing in the copper tag line from one
end Of the boat to the other. I did
find. however. little tin whistle in
one of my pockets. and, running a wire
through the tail of the fish, hung on
the whistle and threw the cod back
into the water
THE following year l got most Pc
culiar bite on my hook. and after pull
ing in the line got the surprise Of my
life. There was the same little cod.
He hadn't grown an inch. but hang
ing on his tail was a long fog horn

The Mysterious Geaensehien.

There is visible in the night sky, un-
der favorable circumstances, a faint
light, rounded in outline and situated
always exactly opposite to the place
Of the sun. 1t is called the "gegen-
schien" and is one of the most mex
plicable objects known to astronomers.
According to scientist, 1t may be a
sort OF cometary or meteoric satellite
attending the earth. He supposes 1t
to be composed of cloud of meteors,
situated about 100000 miles from
the earth ard revolving around it in a
period Of just one year, SO that the
sun and the meteors are always on OPP
posite sides Of the earth. He estimates
that the size of this ghostly satellite
may be nearly the same as that Of the
planet Jupiter-viz, about $4,000 miles
in diameter.

said private secretary. Il have been
reading letters of that kind by the hun
