FISH TALES BACKED
BY RARE SPECIMENS
Museum Party Collects
Deep-Sea Denizens.

Charleston, 8. C.-Fish tales, the
kind that are sometimes taken with
little salt are being told here,
backed by proof, however, In the form
Of collection Of hundreds of species
gathered by the schooner Blossom on
its recent scientific cruise.
The Blossom travelled 10000 miles
seeking specimens of pelagic littoral
and island life for the Cleveland mu-
scum. OF the more than $4,000 col
lected, 5000 were forms of bird life
and the next largest collection con-
sisted of fish.
Headed by Capt. George F. Sim
mons, the expedition spent 81 months
gathering the specimens. Sharks, the
deadly barracuda, bonitos, funny fish,
yellow-tail jacks, flying fish, needle
fish, shippers, half beaks and grunts
were only few of the hunters prey.
Among the interesting specimens
brought back is the Portuguese man
of war, known to science as siphon-
ophore. The fish possesses tentacles
speckled with microscopic bombs
which explode when they land on its
victim, and fire minute harpoons, in
jecting an acid poison into the flesh.
Harpoon "sea Devil"
The "sea devil" or vampire Of the
sea-" closely resembling the stingaree
Of these waters, was harpooned by the
Blossom. 1t has been known to pull

known as tigers or great white sharks,
we're rarely met.
Several specimens Of the deadly bar
racuda were secured. These are the
only fish the South American natives
dread.
With two fangs, measuring an inch,
jutting out from jaws of from eight to
ten inches long, the barracuda is
equipped to feed upon any flesh 1t
meets. It is from two to four feet
long as rule and attains maximum
weight of seventy-five pounds.
Capture Golden Dolphin.
Other fish caught included the gold
en- dolphin, Of changing hues, and the
oceanic bonito, reputed to be the fast
est inhabitant Of the ocean. One flip
of its tail is said to be sufficient to
carry its torpedo-shaped body a dis
lance of 100 feet or more.
Midocean fishing did not prove very
productive and most of the specimens
were caught near islands in the South
Atlantic.

HYDRAULIC MINING
is BEING REVIVED
Project to Wash Out $780,
600, 900 in Gold Dust.

Sacramento, Cali1.-A California
giant, shackled for AZ years, is begin
ming to show signs Of recovery. The
giant is hydraulic mining, shackled
by the Sawyer injunction, and the

in the gravels of Sierra, Plumas, Ne
vada, Placer, Eldorado, Mariposa and
toward being recovered.
This is the statement made by
Lloyd L. Root, state mineralogist.
who reports that efforts are being
made to revive hydraulic mining in
California In such a way as to protect
farmers in the valleys and lower
streams users from the deluge of de-
bris which, under the old plan, swept
downstream, filling channels and rails
ing river beds to the detriment of
farmers and others.
Monster dams on the TUBA and trib-
utaries, the Bear and the American
rivers, to cost approximately $50,OOO,-
600 and to be of such size that the de-
bris coming downstream will fill only
about 10 per cent of the space are
contemplated to revive the giant.
For two and half years engineers
have been making surveys and plans
for the revival. They have estimated
the amount Of gold-bearing gravel and
found that $4OO0O0,0OO of the $780,
100000 still in the ground is in the
gravel Of Sierra, Nevada and Placer
counties. Dam sites have been sur
veyed and other steps taken.
1t is proposed to obtain the S5OOOO,-
600 from the United States govern
ment as a loan provided for in the
Camenitti act passed in 1893 to pro-
vide for the restoration Of hydraulic
mining in California.
Besides allowing hydraulic mining,
the plan, Root says. would take care
Of flood control and obtain an ade-
quate supply of water for irrigation

Miners will store the water in the
winter months and release it in the
summer, just when it is needed down.

HOARD OF GOLD
UNDER GOTHAM
"Real u. S. Treasury" IS Feet
Below Sea.

New York.-The "real treasury Of
the United States" is in New York.
and not Washington. 1t is In the Fed
eral Reserve Bank building In the
financial district, IS feet below the
floors Of which are great stacks Of
gold bullion.
President Louis Borno Of Haiti saw
the shining hoard on his recent visit
here, and exclaimed involuntarily,
Marvellous Ones feelings cannot be
put into words" He and the party
with him were guided by Pierre Jay,
president of the Federal Reserve
bank.
An elevator took the party to Level
E." which, Mr.. Jay explained, was the
lowest Of FIVE subsurface floors, given
over to the storage of bullion. 1t is
so feet below tidewater. The party
halted at iron-grilled doors while
guards peered out, and other watch
men inspected all corridors prelim-
mary to opening the door.
When 1t was swung open President
Borno entered, then looking around,
asked, "But where is the goldT"
ION the other side Of this steel wall,
which is ten feet thick" replied Mr..
Jay.
The only entrance to the vault prop
er, he pointed out, was through YER
teal section of steel, shaped like a
cylinder, and weighing ten tons. The
cylinder rotated, disclosing slot the
width of a mans shoulders, through
which the party passed. Another
heavy door of one-inch steel bar was
in the inner vault. Through still an
other set of heavy steel grills he gazed
at treasure enough to stock ten Treas
ure islands, or buy out hundred Cap
tain Kids.
A few minutes earlier in the count
ing department he had seen great
piles Of bills of all denominations ris-
ing in bales to the ceiling, and Mr. Jay
explained: "Here is. some OF the gold
In back of those bills"
President Borno gazed for minutes
at the long ingots from South Africa,
the flatter ingots from the London
house of Rothschilds, the heavy bars
of the United States treasury, long
banks of yellow, cleaning brightly I'M
der high-power electric lights.
"The wealth of the United States"
was his only remark.
