Buffalo custom bonne for Canadian rreg-eatcnere, It baa been the practice of these Who gather tbia delicious edible to bring ever large eoTered palls containing from, 23 to 40 pounds of Dice- clean legs on the earlj ex curslon boat from Canada. Tbia was get ting- to be too much of a business traffic to suit the-customs authorities and ae tbe Canadian officials on the other side are severeiy strict With.

Americans little retaliatory medicine was decided on. So yesterday and this morning tbe pall-earrlers were quietly asked to step sstde until "baggage" was examined, After which they were invited up to tbe office to square their score withftTncle This caused much and load complaint as- it took a big slice, off tbe profit of a bard day's work. Tbe duty on frog leg's Is 10 per cent, and the McKlntey bill rallies them at 85 cents per Besides this there Is sa entry fee amonnttng to 2Q cents. To some people It might look very small of tbe United States to charge this rather excessive price (for Canadian frogs' legs, bat not When the conduct of one of the Canadian officials toward one of the clerks in the Buffalo custom house is weighed against It at least tbe clerk thinks so. Mr.

Clerk thought a quiet day across the river would be Just the thing and aa tbe other side Is short of watermelons he took one wltb him to enjoy with bis friends camp lng out there. On landing rbe officers de nanded a duty of 20 cents on. the watermelon, whereat the free American citlssn grew very not under the neck band and Died the melon Into the river. There la another reason for tevytng tbia duty on Canadians. Our fishermen complain that Canadians are bringing orer flab every day and competing with them In this market.

These complaints hare, been Investigated but when caught tbe flahermen declare that their Usb were caught by American tackle. The trouble Is thai there are not enough inspectors In the Buffalo district to properly watch these cases of smuggling going on every day. DESTITU riON INCREASING.

Churchill, gent of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, at the City Hall today.

STRANGE PHENOMENA Vessels on Lake Ontario in Plain Sight from Hlsrh Bnildinsrs in This City. A YAOHT WITH HER SAIL SET. Haitian's Island Loomed Vp Qalte Clearly Early Spectators Saw Use Spires oa the Caurohea of the Cana- Clty. A beautiful and wonderfully perfect mirage was seen in the northern sky about 10.30 o'clock this morning. Toronto ciy, the harbor and the island were visible for nearly half an hour.

Those who were first to discover the phenomenon claim that they could distinctly see tbe church spires of Toronto, but tbe atmospheric conditions changed so quickly that only the outlines could bo discovered after the first ten minutes. Aa late as 11 o'clock the northern shore of Lake Ontario could be traced from the roof of the Commercial building. Then tbe clouds lowered, obliterating tbe beautiful picture. This morning's phenomenon appeared to be what is classified by natural scientists as a mirage of the third order, the objects looming up above the woter andfar above their, real level. They were not Inverted as is the case with a mirage of the first and second class, but appeared- exactly aa one looks upon a distant landscape, only that they seemed to be In cloud land.

The city of Toronto, as seen in the mirage by members of the Commercial staff, looked very much as It does in reality when approached by boat from the American side. The gradual rise of the city as it slopes back from the water- was distinct and the perspective had a natural appearance. Through a glass It seemed as though faint outlines of streets could be traced, in the rugged birdseye-vtew appearance of the -surface, The form of tbe bay and the 'island was' compared closely with a map of Toronto bArbor and their contour was found to be exact. In point of distance the ebjecta seen in the phenomenon looked to be about as far away as Crystal Beach. The coast line of real Lake Erie and the visionary north shore of Ontario bad exactly the same appearance, the only point of difference being tha the waters of Erie looked green while those of Ontario had a whitish, silvery appearance, like.

the sheen cast by a setting sun. On this side of tbe expanse of water, a point or projection was visible, though not so clearly defined as the Canadian shore. This was believed to be Charlotte. In a direct line between this point and Toronto Bay, a large sidewheel steamer could be seen making her way in a southeasterly direction. The boat was very distinct.

The large round wbeelbouse and the funnel pouring out black smoke 'were perfectly plain to tbe naked eye. The steamer Nors-man, a large side-wheeler, is said to ply between Toronto aad Charlotte, and the boat seen in the mirage appeared to be exactly in her track. Directly to the north two dark objects surrounded by smoke stood out from the glassy surface of the water. They were supposed to be steamers of tbe New York Central line plying between Lewiston and Toronto, but the smoke was too dense to be sure of anything except that they were moving. A sail boat, apparently a yacht, was the most distinct of any object seen in the mirage.

Her main sail, was set and she was lying close to the wind. She looked no farther away than some of the small craft, that were sailing inside of the Buffalo breakwater. She turned and careened with the wind, and then disappeared from sight aa suddenly as a picture on a magic lantern slide. In this Way the whole mirage seemed to dissolve. A bank of black clouds swept along frooi the west, and between them and the bright rays -of the sun.

tbe phenomenon melte! awjay. By II o'clock its outline had vanished, lust as Its appearance began to bo noised about town and tbe roofs of high buildings were becoming populous with eitJ-sens. i Life vera, AtMnttoa I Admiral JEdwla D.
