WONDERFUL MlRAGES.
Those Seen In the Winter TwiIights In
Northern Alaska.

The most wonderful mirages ever
beheld by mortal eyes are those that
are seen in the twilight winter days
in northern Alaska. These remark
able CHASTITY pictures of things, both
imaginary and real, are mirrored on
the surface of the waste plains in
stead of upon the clouds or in the
atmosphere.
Mimic lakes and water courses
fringed with vegetation are to be
seen pictured as real as life on the
surface Of the snow, while grassy
mounds, stumps, trees, logs, etc.,
which have an actual existence
some place on the earth's surface,
are. outlined against mountains of
snow in all kinds of fantastic
shapes.
Some of these objects are distort-
ed and magnifed into the shapes Of
huge, ungainly animals and reptiles
of enormous proportions. The fogs
and mists are driven across these
wastes by the winds, and as the OBJ
jects referred to loom up in the fly
ing vapors they appear like living
creatures and seem to be actually
moving rapidly across the plain.
At other times they appear high
IN. the air, but this is a Characters
tic of the northern mirages that are
seen near the seashore. When the
vapors and mists are driven out to
sea the images mirrored in them
appear to be lunging through the
waters at terrific rate of speed,
flashing the spray high in the air,
while huge breakers roll over them
and onward toward the mountain
Gus islands beyond and against
which they appear to be dashing.
Monstrous serpents, apparently
several hundred feet long, some
times with riders on their backs;
men on horseback thirty to fifty
feet in height, animals and birds of
all kinds Of horrible shapes and
colors seem to be scurrying past,
racing and chasing each other until
they are lost in the twilight fogs or
dashed to pieces upon the rocky
islands mentioned above and which
are twenty miles out to sea.

Good Fish Stories

When it comes to eating tin cans
and other supposedly indigestible
material and thriving on the diet.
the famed goat is not in it with the
fish. At least that is what members
of the American Fisheries Suciety
said in a Chicago paper recently.
"Some people thinks it harms a
fish to swallow a hook" said W. E.
Meehan, of PENNSYLVANIA. president
of the association. 1T doesn't.
The reason is that the fish digests
iron hooks and other metals readily.
cit takes two weeks for fish to
do it, but at the end Of that time
the hook or piece of metal is gone.
l caught fish that had swallowed
hook some time before. The barb
had penetrated the walls Of the
stomach and had gone into the side
of the fish; it was intact: but the
shaft, that had remained in the
stomach, was gone. 1t was digest
ed.
ga fish has goat skinned a mile
when it comes to gastronomic
stunts. The gastric juices of a fish
are so strong that ordinary food is
digested in an hour
Prof. L. L. Dyche, of the Univer-
sity Of Kansas, was telling Of the
cannibalistic feat of young bass and
jack salmon. Among other state
ments, he said that a young bass be-
gins to eat when it is ten days old
and eats anything. its brother in
Guided.
That's nothing" whispered an
other member Of the association.
"Bass and salmon eat each other af-
ter they are full sized. | have
known bass to sneak up on an
other and larger bass and swallow
its head. The fish that swallows
the others head first wins.
Because of it's large mouth and
throat. capable of great distension.
the bass can swallow the head of
another fish larger than itsef. Then
1T waits until the head is digested
and then swallows another portion.
The digestive process takes only
about an hour. Then it is ready
for the rest of the fish.
Il have known bass to eat in
three hours another bass twice as
heavy as itself by taking it in three
meals. While one fish is eating an
other, however. it must remain near
the surface. Somehow. it cannot
swim down until it has completed
its meal"
Another member told what cat
fish would eat.
Catfish will eat anything" he
said. 1--WE have taught them to
eat cooked meat, bread. wheat.
corn anything They eat bread like
some people eat soup: it can be
heard across two or three streets.
They suck it down with huge
hiss"
However. the president of the as
ISOLATION vocuhes for the absolute
verify of the foregoing stories.
There is no such thing as a true
fish story" he said.
