Government Commission Finds
Brilliant Specimens in Porto
Rico.
Washington March 10. The
United States Fish Commission
has just issued one of the most in
teresting Government publications
of the year. It is a royal octavo
volume of some 350 pages bound
in Government blue giving the
results of an investigation of the
aquatic resources and fisheries of
Porto Rico. It would have appear-
ed much earlier but a fire in the
New York establishment where
some of the work was done pre
vented the publication of the text.
The body of the work is a scientific
list and description of the fish
found in Porto Rico prepared by
B. W. Evermann and Millard 0.
Marsh with prefatory chapters of
a general character by Mr. Ever-
mann and William A. Wilcox.
But the part of the book that will
make it popular will be the las t
forty-nine pages. These are plates
showing the coloration of as many
different fishes.
At first glauce the impressiou is
given that the fishes must have
been selected for their brilliancy
of color but this is not so. Still
Porto Ricau fishes run to gaudy
annarel. The red goat fish is a
beauty in red and yellow and
blue; the yellow goat fish is a de-
licate thiug in pale blue with a
horizontal stripe of yellow aud a
yellow tail with suggestions of red
about fins and spout j the rock hind
is a gorgeous spotted creature; the
lane snapper is a "dream" of a
fish showiug in faint tones all the
hues of the rainbow; and there are
blue fishes and green fishes large
aud small. The Scams Vetula
which seems to have no common
name is a harlequin fish with
pnf.l. sr-a e of b hie tiDned with a
broad margin of pink dorsal and
anal fins half blue and half yellow
aud pink and the webbing of the
tail apple green. It would be im
possible to give an adequate idea
of the brilliancy of these fishes by
descrintion. The originals were
painted on board the Fish Elawk
the fish being placed in au aqua
rin m as soon as obtained and the
sketch made by A. II. Baldwin be
fore the colors could fade. Mem
bers of the expedition who saw the
originals say that the fine colors

have been accurately reproduced
aud that the pictures are otherwise

PORTO RICANS EA1IGRATING
Thousands Are Now Leaving the
Overpopulated Little Island.
San Juan Porto Rico March 5.
The surplus labor population of
Porto Rico is being gradually but
permanently lessened by emigra-
tion. During the past few mouths
over 18000 men women and child
ren have left for Hawaii and if the
Hawaiian Sugar Planters' associa
tion does not cancel tho order with
the local agents and if too mnch
opposition is uofc raised here about
1S000 more will be sent to the
far away islands. The local agents
have been considerably excited by
publication of numerous scare
stories iu the local Spanish papers.
These stories are written and cir-
ciliated by a certain element which
for one reasou or anohfcer is op
posed to emigration. By means
of newspapers and hand bills which
have been distributed in the streets
from which tho emigrants are be-
iug recruited the ignorant would
be led to believe they are being
sold into slavery and fchafc their
masters will subject them to all
manner of tortur and cruelty on
the sugar plantations of Hawaii.
The lasfe lot of Hawaii bound
emigrants sailed from Ponce on the
3d. The ship intended to sail on
the 2d but it was held up by the
authorities on complaints from
parents that their children were
being taken away without their
consent. Dozens of women also
complained that their hnsbauds
were deserting thtm. The ship
was detained over night aud sever-
al of those intending to sail on her
were taken off by the police.
Small parties of 50 or 100 are
continually leaving the isjand by-
steamer and schooner for Hayti
and Santo Domingo.

class is considered a blessing for
Porto Rico. The island is exceed
ingly overpopulated and there Is
no work to be offered to the vast
army of unemployed. Those who
are left behind have more oppor-
tunity to betterj themselves and
those who emigrate especially
to Hawaii will be given per-
manent wrok. They find tho
climate and style of labor
the .ame as that which they
are accustomed to here aud they
are given free rent fuel medical
attendance aud schooling for their
children and besides are well paid
better so than in Porto Rico.

Sculptress Will Have Revenge.
Paris March 9. Mine. Amelia
(Jolombier sculptress does not
propose to be foiled by such a
simple thing as a decree of the
court.
A fair and wealthy patron or-
dered a marble bust from the
Madame and the Madame made
it. Bnt the fair patron lonncl
fault and refused to pay the bill.
Madame filed suit in court and the
solemn Judge decided against her.
But Madame does not propose to
be thwarted. She takes occasion
to say that she will have 'her re-
venge by transforming the bust in-
to a caricature of tho lady and ex-
hibiting it at the forthcoming
Salon.

Costly Scalps
Investigation appears to show
that Sonth Dakota has paid some-
where near $11000 bounty for the
scalps of prairie dogs" and yonng
coyotes the state officials having
been under the impression that
they were paying for wolf scalps
Even experienced men find difficul-
ty in distinguishing between the
scalp of a young coyote and that
of a gray wolfpnp.
