QUEER JAPANESE FISH.

One That Uses It's Fin n sail-Hew
the Dorado 10 Caught.
One Of the most interesting of fish
of japanese waters is the oriental sail
fIsh (Histiophorus orientalis). The
generic name, given by DR.. Guenther.
means the sail bearer and refers to
the huge dorsal fin possessed by the
species.
The I'm stands higher than the body
above it and is used as sail before
the wind. 1t is a large fish, ten feet in
length and weighing 100 pounds. They
swim about usually in pairs in rough
and windy weather, with the huge fms
above the water.
1t is q favorite food fish, and the an
nual catch is nearly 100000 pounds.
The sail fish is caught by means of a
harpoon.
Another food fish, known as dol
phin or dorado, is sometimes caught In
a curious way. The fishes congregate
under q decoy bush and raft made OF
bamboos and are then caught by hooks
baited with squids, or the decoy bush
is surrounded by q seine net, and the
dolphins are driven by beating the sur
face of the water with sticks. This fish
is eaten both fresh and salt and Is as
great favorite In western Japan as
the salmon is in the northeast. -Zoolo-

The ConoMIngo Bridge.

The Flintville correspondent of the Har-
ford Democrat furnishes the following
concerning the work on Conowingo
bridge, which will be of interest to many
of our readers in this vicinity:
With two American flags floating to
the breeze from the top and in front of
the construction of Conowingo bridge, the
new iron structure is rapidly pushing its
end to the Hartford side of the river The
last span has beenreached and at this time,
Aug. II, is about completed. The con-
tractors are to be congratulated for the
success of the undertaking thus. far. Its
speedy construction without accidents
speaks well for the workmen, as under
takings of the kind are attended by
danger and difficulties even under the
most favorable circumstances. The
bridge when completed will be an i'm
posing structure, nearly IS of mile long,
including the two wooden spans and the
two iron spans that were not destroyed by
the fire. \Of the seven new spans FIVE of
the long spans from the Hartford side are
of the Cantlever type.
A more favorable time could not be had
for putting the bridge up as the river is
very low, so low that the contractors had
hardly any water to contend with in
erecting the false work or superstructure
of the first six spans. The last span is
being put up without the use of any false
work as it spans 'Job's Hole" and the
water is over 100 feet deep. The work of
erecting this span is exciting much
interest and its completion will be new
idea in bridge building in this section.
This span is upwards of 800 feet in length
and to build it without any under support
looks hazardous and extremely uncertain
of being done without accident. The
bridge when completed will be the most
substantial highway bridge on the river,
and il spans the river at its most
picturesque point, and aside from its
being great convenience to the public
from a business standpoint it will afford
an attractive panoramic view of the river
and It's adjacent hills and valleys. Au-
tomobile tourists will find nothing to
equal it between New York and Washing
ton. If no serious mishap occurs the con-
tractors will practically complete the
bridge within the next ten days.

Susquehanna Power Company To
Build Dam.

According to William H. Surratt, vice
president of the Susquehanna Electric
Power Company, operations are about to
begin looking to the construction of
hydro-electric plant on the Susquehanna
river at Conowingo as soon as the trifing
matter of few more million dollars are
supplied by those interested in the cor
poration. The company has capital
ization of $I2, 900, 900, of which 81, 900, 900
has been paid The intention, it is de-
clared, is to build, a dam across the Sus-
quehanna and construct power plant
with capacity of 100000 horsepower.
The Susquehanna Electric Power
Company was Incorporated in 1906. The
charter Authorizes the company TO develop
the water power of the Susquehanna
river from the tidewater to the Mason and
Dixon line for the purpose of generating
electricity which it may sell in Maryland.
By an amendment to the charter in 1906
the company was given the right to do
an electric light and power business in
Baltimore, with the approval of the
Mayor and City Council.
The site that the company has selected
for its dam is far enough below the Nc
Call Ferry Power Company's dam to
provide sufficient flow. The backwater
of the Susquehanna companys dam will
be practically nothing when it reaches the
State line. The presence of the Mccall
dam will be of decided advantage to the
Susquehanna company, because it will
provide bondage, which the company
otherwise would have to create. The Nc
Call dam will provide steady flow for
the Susquehanna company, and instead of
affecting the dam farther down the river,
would rather facilitate its operation

The antis believed they had a combination
with strength enough toname slate con-
trary to that selected by the organization
and also elect new State Central Com

was this combination that the leaders
were compelled to have the convention

lined up to put through their slate.

New York. Oct. 14,-Adrian II. Jo-
line, president of the Missouri. Kan
sas & Texas, is to resign, probably
this week, and be succeeded by A. A.
Allen the vice president and general
manager. At the same time James,
Speyer Edwin Hawley and B. F. Yoak-
um, or men named by them or repre-
senting them, will be elected directors.
The control of a large Independent
railroad system, by far the most inn
portant of those tapping the rich cot
ton belt of the southwest and leading
to the gulf, then will pass under the
control of the Rock Island party and
the Hawley party conformity.
Mr.. Joline who is senior partner in
the law firm oil Joline, Larkin & Rath-
bone, became president of the road
three years ago on the death of Pres
ident Henry c. Rouse. 1t was under
stood at the time that in taking the
position Mr. Joline yielded to the i'm
portunities of large foreign stockhold-
ers with whom he was associated in
other business matters. Many of these
have now either disposed of their
holdings or have arranged to do so,
and both Mr.. Joline and Mr.. Speyer,
who also has represented many for
eign stockholders, have co-operated
in the arrangements for transfer OF
control
The transaction is regarded as the
most important development in the
railroad world since the death of Mr..
Hartman, or in relation to changes of
control, since the acquisition of the
Chesapeake & Ohio by Mr.. Hawley and
his associates. In practical railroad
management and operation it supplies
to the Hawley roads and the Rock Is
land-Frisco system a gulf outlet SINH
lar to that obtained by James J. Hill
when he bought the Colorado & South
ern for the Burlington or that gained
by Mr.. Hartman when he got control
of the Illinois Central and made close
traffic relations with the Kansas City
Southern.
In the railroad politics it means that
Edwin Hawley, who at one time was
to be cooperating with the
Hartman party, has made new and
close relationship with the members
of the Rock Island party with whom
he previously had been associated in
many important transactions.
Speyer & Co, of this city have long
some of the foreign bank
ing houses in Missouri, Kansas &
Texas stock. either through the Lon
don house OF Speyer Bros, or through |
the Speyer Amsterdam house. Just
how much of the foreign holdings have |
been transferred or are about to be
