One of the most interesting of fish of
Japanese waters is the oriental sail fish
thistiophorus orientalis). The generic
name, given by Dr.. Guenther. means the
sail bearer, and refers tof the huge dorsal
fin possessed by the species
The fin stands higher than the body
above it. and is used as a sail before the
wind. 1t is a large fish. ten feet in
length and weighing 16i pounds. They
swim about usually in pairs lin rough and
windy weather, with the huge fins above
the water.
1t is favorite food fish, and the an

Cloister's Long Service.

sung in one choir at Stafford for seventy
four years. for his unstirted and loyal
service. Mr.. Moore. however is not the
oldest chorister still in active service in
the kingdom This. honor. I believe. Is
due to Mr.. George Arnold, who has been
a. member of Holy Trinity Church, Bosh-
am, Sussex. for more than eighty years.
Mr.. Arnold Joined this choir In 1923. and
still sings In the chancel behind his
grandson, who is also a member of the
choir.
Even this. I do not se1ink constitutes
the record, for on looking through an old
list in my possession 1 find the name OF
Mr.. John Siddons. who In the year 1914
joined the parish church choir at Snares-
town and was still in active service there
as a chorister In 1898. when he had just
celebrated his ninetieth birthday. Eighty
two years is certainly a record hard to
beat for length of service in one choir.

bridge, feeling sure that the Fed :

mand of Gen. w. II. Sherman
were detailed for the express pur-
pose of destroying this bridge
When they reached the close vicin-
ity of the bridge they overlook
their comrades who had come
down from Iuka. These troops, j.,
whose entire force did not exceed
100, dismounted and stationed
themselves along the bluffs and in
the thick timber near the west end
of the bridge with the intention
of defending it from destruction
Scarcely had they got in position
before the enemy appeared on the
other side. A sharp skirmish en-
sued for few minutes, but the
Federals were in such overwhelm-
ing force, besides being armed
with long range guns, that the
Confederates soon retired leaving
the bridge to its fate. The as
cending volumes of BLACK smoke
soon showed that the work of de-
struction was on. AS soon as the
bridge was sufficiently consumed
to render is destruction certain,
the Federals returned to Chicka-
saw, re-embarked and returned
down the river.

structed only few years since
and is handsome, substantial
