Fishing VILLAGE That Floats.


In the shadow Of the huge Manhat-
tan bridge which connects New York
proper with Brooklyn nestles a veri-
table fishing village consisting of nine
two-story Households moored side by
side so as to form a solid row and
sheltering the fishermen and their fam
lilies, on whom New York city is de-
pendent for good part Of its fish sup
ply. But unless you are familiar with
the vagaries of fish and the localities
In which they school in certain sea-
sons you need not go in search of this
village. Often it disappears from a
locality overnight, without any fare
wells, reappearing as quietly a
few months later.-Popular Science
