"ft seems rather fanny to speak of the
voices of fishes,” laid a naturalist to a
writer for the Star, “nut many of them do
certainly produce vocal *ouDds, a* you your
self may hare observed. Did you ever pull
a bluefish into your boat and listen to his
croaking cotupla nisi
“But it is not merely out of water that
many fishes vocalize. They do so in their
native element also, and often in eoncert. as
if highly appreciating the really inu .1
effects which they not infrequently produce.
If you have ever been afloat in southern
waters you may have beard a big jewfish

Under similar conditions the well-known
‘grunters’ will give elaborate nocturnal per
formances, a whole school of them together,
under toe stern.
“When the famous Humboldt visited the
South seas in 1803. abjut 7 *p. m. on Feb.
20 an extraordinary noise startled the
crew. At first it was Tire the beating of
many drums in the distance, and then the
sounds eeeraed to comr. fiom the ship itself,
near the poop. To begin with, it was im
agined that the breakers were at baud, and
then that the vessel had sprung a leak. Tho
noises continued for about two hours, and
no one oould guess how to account for
them.
“In the narrative of his voyage to the
China seas, in 1824, Lieut. White, U. ti N.,
mentions a similar experience. At the
mouth of a river in Cambcdia the ship's
company was alarmed by remarkable noises
around ' the bottom of the vessel. ‘The
sounds,’ be says, ‘were like a mixture of the
bass of the organ, the ringing of bells, the
guttural notes of a great frog, and tones
which the imagination might attribute to
an enormous harp. The ship seemed actually
to tremble with the vibration. Steadily
the noises increased until they formed a
chorus around the entire vessel.’ Subse
quently, as the snip sailed on, they dimin
ished and finally ceased. A nativo inter
preter stated that t hey were made by a
kind of fishes whicn clung to objects by
ttnir mouth*.
“dir J. Emerson Tenneut tells of a visit
be made to Cevlon in 1848, when he went
in a bout to bear sane famous water music
at batticlexa. He was rowed quietly to
the spot by moonlight, where the sounds
earns up from the water like the gentle
thrills of a musical chord or the feint vibra
tion* of a wiue-g ass when the run is rubbed
with a moutriii finger. It was not one
(abstained note, bat a multitude of tiny
sound*. tn sweetest treble mingled with
tie lowest bass. Tbs native* said that the
music was mad* by a (bell fish a* tbe bot

"A writer m -Votes and Queries say*:
‘ln the early part of December 1 called upon
a Quaker gentleman at Darli'-aton, for
whom I waited in a room in which Mood a

resets bl.y the tones of harp strings ming

mmigres are famous far their vocal p iwers
as wall as remarkable for tbe size and com
plicated structure of their air U odder* and
tee large hollows in their skulls. These pe
culiarities may bare something to do with
the loud whistlings and buinmings they pro
duce. The air bladder bas something im
portant to do with the sounds tishee make,
though just w at is not certainly known.
Borne authorities to ink that the noises a. e
made by expelling air from one comport
ment ot the bladder into another. Others
believe that they are produced by tbe
gri cling together of tbe toottHike bones in
tne back of tne fish’s mouth, tbe bladder
serving mere.y to inc ease tbe volume of
sound. To understand this, shut up your
ears tight With your two middle Huger*' and
grind your back teeth. You wiT notice
that tbe noise seems very loud, though it
comes not from tbe grinding, but from tbe
vibration of tbe chewing or ’aldermanic’
musciea
“Fishes are supposed to make these noises
for the purpose of attracting their mates,
it is said that fishermen often take fish
during the spawning eaasoa by imitating
tbe sounds. Formerly it was believed that
fishes had no era, but anatomists have
proved that they have organs of bearing,
lb ugh not external ones. Carp are often
called in ponds to teed by tbe ringing of a
belt Fatter en i some eastern countries
are said to attach littia bells to the edges of
their nets, which attract the fish by their
ringing Many ancient writers have de
scribed tbe fish’s love of music, and Hondo

occasion he made a school of shad dance to
his fiddling*'
THBrtIBLB HUMAN CARNAGE.
A Slaughter of 2,500,000 Lives In
Wars of the Las. Thirty Year*.
According to tbe estimates of French
and German statisticians there have pensbed
in tbe war* of the last thirty years 2,500,-
000 men, while there has been expended to
carry them ou no less than the Inconceivable
mim of $13,000,000,00J, says the Sau Fran
cisco ChronicU Of this amount France
has paid lien ly $3.510,000,000 as tbe cost of
tbe ar with Prua-ia, while her loss in men
is placed at 156.000. Of these 80,000 were
killed on the field of battle. 3(5,000 died of
sickness, accidents or suicide, and 20,000 in
Geiman prisons, while there died from
other causes enough to bring the number up
to tbe given aggregate. The sick and
wounded amounted W 477,421, the live* of
many thousands of whom were doubtless
simrt-ned by th“ir illness or injuries.
“Acoordii.g to Dr. Roth, a German author
ity, tne (lerruaos lostduriug :he war ftt.oOO
men killed or rendered invalid, and $(500,-
000,000 in money, this being the excee* of
expenditure or of meter.oi loees over the
$1,250,000,000 paid by France by way of In
demnity. Dr. Engel, another German
statistician, gives the folio ing as the
approximate cost of the principal wars of
tbe las thirty years: Crimean war, $2,(00-
OOO.OJO; Italian war of 1859, $800,000,000;
Prusso-Danish ar of 1804, $55,000,000;
war of the rebellion inert, ), $5,100,000,000,
(south). $2,300,01X1,000; Pruseo Austrian war
of lcCti, $330,OlO,UOO; Kusso-T urkisb war,
$126,CV0,00u; South African wars, $5,770,-
000; African war, $13,350,000; Servo-
Bulgarian, $176,000,000.
All these wars we e murderous in the ex
treme. Tbe Crimean war, in which few
tattle* were fought, cast 750,000 lives, only
50,000 less tt an were killed or died of their
wounds north and south during the war of
the re Pel Hon. Tr.es i figures, it must be re
membered, are German, and might not
agree precisely with American estimate*.
Tbe Mexican and Chinese expeditions cost
$200,000,000 and 65,000 lives. There were
250,000 killed and mortally Wuund -dduring
Ibe Kuwo-Turkish war, and 45,000 each in
tbe Italian wsr ot 1859 and the war between
Pruaeie and Austria In the other wars the
loes of life was relatively less, which did
not make either the men or money easier to
part with in the more limited areas where
they occurred.
All this u but a part of the accounting,
siuoe it not include tbe millions ex
pended during the lust twenty years in
maintaining the vast armaments of the
European powers, tbe losses caused by the
stoppage of commerce and manufactures,
and the continual derangement of industries
by tne abstraction from useful employment
of so many millions of persons held for a
period of military service extending from
three to five years.

cured
By taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, which, by
the remarkable cures. It has accomplished,
has proven itself to be a potent and peculiar
medicine for this disease. If you suffer from
scrofula, try Hood's Sarsaparilla.
“ Every spring my wife and children have
been troubled with scrofula, my little boy,
three years old, being a terrible sufferer.
Last spring he was one mass of sores from
head to feet. We all took Hood's Sarsaparilla,
aud all have boen cured of the scrofula. My
little boy la entirely free from sores, and all
four of my children look bright and healthy.’*

POOR LABOR.
We are more than surprised at the barefaced
effoatery of some who call themselves printers,
and clai . ing to b ave the best office in the city.
If the best i-. all things why try to follow in the
footsteps of others? Fixed up as they are with
imltn a ital, and employing incompetent and
cheap iebor only, they rest satisfied that if they
fail they can became "horse di ctors” or “ped
dlers." Now, Townsend don't claim to be the
largest in town, but he does claim to having
competent labor. It is all managed and run by
the most competent workman in this section, a
man who oan talk business, keep a clean set of
books, and one who always pays his debts.
