FISH DESTRUCTION.

A peculiar combination Of circum
stances haa resulted In n sad dcstruc
tion Of iish in Lake Tassc. or Spanish
Lake, this week. Dead fish were
floating everywhere about the lake on
Thursday morning. when Mr.. Walter
,, Pharr came to town and gave IN the
details OF the happening. He Ia Of
the opinion that these dead iiah arc in
quantity sufficient to threaten the com
fort Of the lake shore homes.
This lake is rapidly Glling up with
the water hyacinth. which haH accn
mulated till the plant covers an area
Of macy acres. Great maaaca of these
water plants shift from end to end, i,
and from shore 10 shore. Of tho lake.

seems to he only II question of time.
when that splendid sheet of water will
be covered completely with green foil
agc aud purple blossoms. The bulbs
undisturbcd IN they are IN thia bod,
Of fairly deep clear water, throw down
from the very surface Of the water my
riads Of fine ha,r-like roots, extending
to n depth Of as much M three feet.
When thcse plants are held together
for any considerable time their roots
become M entwined M to hold the
plants together In great mats. These
roots become 40 matted that the iiah
cannot get through them.
With the shifting Of the wind into
the north west. few dayr ago, y great
long ribbon Of green was torn away
from the outer edge Of the hyacinth
bank In the upper end Of the lake and

lake TO the windward shore. Az II mp
preached the shore II assumed n cres.
cent shape, the ends going in first and
the middle OF the great bow closing in
last. This unbrokcn string Of hyn-
cinths was probably 5000 feet long.
Reaching the shore as 1t did, It proved
to be u great seine, cntrapping thou
sands upon thousands Of Hsh. The
roots, sweeping the bottom Of the lake,
cut of escape under the drift; and ms
the ends closed in against the shore

peril, they were hopelessly entrapped

this week. Har-ash and caspergoo

and buffalo seemed to have escaped.
This matter has been called to the
attention Of the members Of the Span

they will launch some plan by8which
