sharks or the barracudas, usually attack
things smaller than themselves. But the
piranhas habitually attack things much lar
ger than themselves They will snap
finger off hand incautiously trailed in the
water; they mutilate swimmers-in every
river town in Paraguay there are men who
have been thus mutilated; they will rend
and devour alive any wounded man or
beast; for blood in the water excites them
to madness. They will tear wounded wild
fowl to pieces; and bite off the tails of big
fish as they grow exhausted when fighting
after being hooked Miller, before | reach
ed Asuncion, had been badly bitten by one.
Those that we caught sometimes bit
through the hooks, or the double strands of
copper wire that served as leaders, and got
away. Those that we hauled on deck lived
for many minutes.
Most predatory fish are long and slim,
like the alligator and pickerel. But the
piranha is short, deep-bodied fish, with a
blunt face and heavily undershot or pro-
jecting lower jaw which gapes widely, The
razor-edged teeth are wedge-shaped like a
sharks, and the jaw muscles possess great
power. The rabid, furious snaps drive the
teeth through flesh and bone The head
with its short muzzle, staring malignant
eyes, and gaping, cruelty armed jaws, is the
embodiment of evil ferocity; and the actions
of the fish exactly match its looks.
The Piranha on Deck
I never witnessed an exhibition of such
impotent, savage fury as was shown by the
piranhas as they Tapped on deck When
fresh from the water and thrown on the
board they uttered an extraordinary
squealing sound AS they Tapped about
they bit with vicious eagerness at whatever
presented itself One of them Tapped into
a cloth and seized it with a bulldog grip
Another grasped one of its fellows another
snapped at a piece of wood, and left the
teeth-marks deep therein. They are the
pests of the waters, and it is necessary to be
exceedingly cautious about either swim
ming or wading where they are found. If
cattle are driven into, or of their own accord
enter, the water they are commonly not
molested but if by chance some unusually
big or ferocious specimen of these fearsome
fishes does bite an animal-taking off an
ear, or perhaps a teat from the udder of a
cow-the blood brings up every member Of
the ravenous throng which is anywhere
near, and unless the attacked animal can
Immediately make its escape from the water
it is devoured alive. Here on the Paraguay
the natives hold them in much respect,
whereas the caymans are not feared at all.
The only redeeming feature about them is
that they are themselves fairly good to eat,
although with too many bones.

Under the brilliant sky we steamed stead

rious as we leaned on the port railing; and
after nightfall the moon, nearly full and
hanging high in the heavens, turned the
water to shimmering radiance On the
mud-fats and sandbars, and among the
green rushes of the bays and inlets, were
stately waterfowl; crimson flamingoes and
rosy spoonbills, dark colored ibis and white
storks with black wings Darters with
snakeliIe necks and pointed bills perched in
the trees on the brink of the river Snowy
egrets Tapped across the marshes. Cay

banks we passed an occasional small town,

settlement. Across the river to the west
lay the level swampy, fertile wastes known
as the Chaco, still given over either to the

Montreal Que, June 4.-Whether the
sunken liner Empress of Ireland, in
which it is now officially declared l,024
lives were lost, is to be raised from the
bottom of the st. Lawrence to recover
the hundreds of bodies in her hull, or
whether she will be dynamited to pieces
was expected to be decided here yester
day at conference of government Off
cials and representatives of Lloyd's.
From England there have come to the
government at Ottawa many demands
that the Empress be raised. 1t is be-
lieved there will be great Indignation if
there is no attempt made to recover the
bodies and to meet this demand, if pos
sibe the government is understood to
be anxious TO have the liner brought
again to the surface if only long enough
to extract the bodies from her berths.
Orders were issued here yesterday that
the crew of the Storstad, which sunk
the liner, and the survivors of the EN-
press crew, be held under surveillance
until the hearing of the disaster begins.

pected Saturday Night.

The final stage of the move to pass
the tolls exemption repeal bill was ex-
pected to be reached in the Senate yes
terday, when Senator 0'Gorman planned
to demand that this measure be kept
constantly before that body, to the eN-
clusion of all other business, until vote
has been taken. Although many amend
ments have been proposed, vote on the
bill probably can be taken before ad-
journment Saturday night.
Another answer of administration
forces to the arguments marshaled
against repeal of the Panama tolls ex
emption was made yesterday by Senator
Simmons. He argued that the exemp-
ton of American coastwise vessels would
be a discrimination forbidden by the
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain and unwise as domestic
policy. Not to repeal the exemption he
added would mean that the United
States would hereafter be confronted
with a worldwide public sentiment of
chagrin, distrust, disapproval and resent
ment.
