A writer in the Spectator says: Pains
have been taken to ascertain the rate of
pigeons fight. The English dragon
is swifter bird than the--Belgian. But
he flies low, and is of small, if any, intel
lect. [ do not know whether this ques-
ton is or can be settled. For long dis
tances the Belgian fanciers had in the
year 1866, by induction Of many in
stances, concluded that pigeon can fly,
on an average, l, 164 metres minute, OF
1878 yards, but if such is the average
taken for distances extending diagonally
over France, it must be evident that
what pigeon can do over two or three
hundred miles only must be consider
ably greater. Then, again, it almost in
conceivable that a pigeon starting from
San Sebastian for Liege, suppose, should
be able to adhere to the true mathemat-
ical line of short distances. Whether in
obedience to the currents of winds or In
obedience to the landmarks he selects,
he must follow, not a straight, but a
broken line of some sort. Now the COM
putations made by the Belgian societies
are, SO far as we know, invariably on the
principle of taking the crows flight
from corner to corner, and then dividing
the number of miles by the number of
hours between the time of departure and
the time of arrival. The exact distance
between OAK and Liege is, am told,
$50 miles as the crow flies, 4. e., in the
mathematical line on true map. But
pigeon can scarcely follow the true
mathematical line, and to accomplish 500
he may be supposed to fly 700, 800, or
1000 miles in broken lines, all tending
moro or less homewards. The pigeon
which took the first prize Of all Belgium
in 1871 belonged to small basket-maker
at Huy, L jar Liege. I remember hold
ing the bird in my hand a small, COM
pact, black bird. as hard as stone to
the touch-I forget whether In his third
or fourth year. The bird was flown in
1871 at OAK, in the Pyrenees, at five
o'clock in the morning, and arrived at
Huy the same evening at six o'clock.
Taking the distance as 900 miles crow
fight, and dividing by the number of
hours, thirteen, this gives us the rate of
forty six miles an hour for thirteen
hours.

Concerning Fish and Fish Culture.

Shad in the Hudson river had become
nearly extinct until the Fish Commits
sioners of New York caused it to be
stocked with 100, 900, 900 per year for
several years; the consequence is that
they have not been SO plentiful and
cheap for forty years as now. The ras-
cally pothouse METERS, however, take
every opportunity to stretch their nets
surreptitiously across the third of the
stream reserved to let them come up the
river to spawn. Seth Green, that vet
eran pisciculturist, is now stocking the
river with sturgeon in immense num-
bers, that in few years will go through
their nets as if they were a piece of
gauze. The Hudson river sturgeon
grow to an immense size, attaining fire.
quently to the length Of ten or twelve
feet, and weighing from four to five
hundred pounds. Another gratifying
practical result of fish planting is that
in the Potomac, where black bass were
entirely unknown until they were plant
ed, they are now caught in strings of
from thirty to sixty, weighing from two
to- four and half pounds, in days
fishing. This breeding of fish and
stocking all the inland lakes and rivers
is simply question of food for the peo-
pie as much as raising grain, beef, pork,
etc. The United States make an annual
appropriation of $4,000 to procure fish
from foreign waters which are unknown
to us, and to change the breed Of such
as we have, which is as much required
as to change the breed Of everything,
from the human race to potatoes. Al
most all of the States have now efficient
fish laws, and very many make liberal
appropriations to stock all the public
lakes within their borders, under the
supervision of their Boards of Fish
Commissioners, as well as the rivers.
Canada does the same.-Cor. Chicago

Was Napoleon a FataIist?

This is the question raised by writer
in the GALAXY, who tells in affirmation
of it the following remarkable story :
" It was in 1895, when the Directors had
named him Commander Chief of the
Army of Italy, and at the same time had
refused OF were unable to supply him
with the means for repairing to head
quarters with the state and dignity be-
fitting his new rank. In this difficulty
the young General raised as large sum
as he could by means of his own credit
and the kindness of his friends, and as
this was miserably small, he intrusted it
to Junot, young officer who frequented
gaming tables, and babe him lose it all
or increase it in enormous proportions.
On your success, he said, depends
the possibility of my accepting this
command, and taking you as my aide-de-
camp According to one account, Junot
first augmented the amount of his capital
by selling a gold-hilted sword which be-
longed to him, for Bonaparte never
failed to win the love of those who came
in close contact with him. After several
hours play, in which Junot had been
successful beyond his hopes, he repaired
to his chief and handed him his winnings
which he thought would be more than
sufficient to meet all immediate claims.
The General sent him back once more to
tempt fortune, with an order not to re-
turn till he had doubled the sum OF lost
every cent. When Junot appeared again
it was with enough money to enable Ma
poleon to make splendid appearance at
Headquarters. The last sum won by
Junot that night has been put at $50, 900,
while the anecdote itself rests on excel
lent authority"

"GOne AlOft.0

One Of the old wooden walls of En-
gland, three-decker ine-of- battle ship,
one of those of which Dibdin sung, and
fine old tars with pig-tails were wont to
spin their yarns around the foc'sle, has
yielded up the ghost at Chatham dock
yard. She was the Ajax seventy-four,
reduced in the declining years of her life
to sixty guns. Not the Ajax which fol-
lowed in the wake of the Agamemnon
when Lord Nelson bore down one Octo-
Der morning on the French feet off
Trafalgar but the second Ajax, born
when the old and original veteran foun-
dered off the Island of Tenedos two
years after her noble fight. The de-
ceased Ajax was launched in 1909, and,
like many of the Lords of the Admiralty,
had reached a good and crazy old age.
Although a good ship and true, she
bore but few if any honorable scars.
She was up the Baltic with Napier dur
ing the Russian war, and stuck in one of
the narrow creeks or channels up the
Gulf of Bothnia. An attempt was made
to fit her up with engines and modern
improvements, but the old salt did not ap-
prove of new-fangled ways. She was q
sailor of the old school.

Something About MOxa.

The dreadful experience through
which Clara Morris has gone in Paris in
the treatment of a lesion of the spinal
cord excites interest in the terrible
ssmoxa," as the treatment with white
hot iron is called. 1t is a Japanese in
vention, and has been used in Japan as
a counter-irritant for many centuries.
The word itself means 6 burning glass, !"
and is thus used because the japanese
custom is to place the finer woolly parts
of the young leaves of NORWOOD on
the skin, in the form of small cones, and
set them on fire by means of burning
glass. They burn slowly and leave a
scar or blister, but the operation is not
very painful; it cannot for a moment be
compared with the agony occasioned by
the scoring of the quivering flesh with
iron heated to whiteness, which is what
we call moxa. It's use in Japan, where
it is looked upon as cure for great
number of diseases, such as pleurisy,
asthma, rheumatism, and even indiges-
ton, is almost universal, nearly every
person, especially among the lower
classes, being SCARED with moxa spots

THE BANKERS DINNER.
By o. W. HOLMES.

The bankers dinner is the stateliest feas
The town has heard of for year at least,
The starry lustres she'd their broadcast blaze;
Damask and silver catch and spread the rays.
The florists triumph crown the daintier spoil,
Won from the sea, the forest and the soil;
The steaming hot-house yields its largest vines
The sunless vaults unearth their oldest wines.
OF all that cluster round the genial board,
Not one so radiant as the banquets lord.

The jocund evening whirls itself along,

And the white neckcloths vanish Though the door.

And stink away; the master stands alone.

SEPTEMBER.
BY GEORGE ARNOLD.

Sweet is the voice that calls
From babbling waterfalls
ia meadows where the downy seeds are flying;
And soft the breezes blow
And eddying come and go
In faded gardens where the rose is dying.
Among the stumbled corn
The blithe quail pipes at morn,
The merry partridge drums IN hidden places,
And glittering insects gleam
Above the reedy stream
Where busy spiders spin their flmy laces.
At eve, cool shadows fall
Across the garden wall,
And on the clustered grapes in purple turning,
And pearly vapors lie
Along the Eastern sky
where the broad harvest-moon is redly burning.
An, soon on field and hill
The winds shall whistle chill
Sad patriarch swallows call their hocks together,
To ny from frost and snow,
And seek for lands whe re blow
Xhs faIrer blossoms of balmier weather.
The polIen-dusted bees
Search for the hOney-lees
While plaintiVe mourning doves
Coo sadly to their loves
.e1sf the dead summer they well remember.
The cricket chirps ali day,
ra o, fairest summer stay -
sTe sc atirre eyes askance the chestnuts browning
The wild fowl hy afar
above the foamy bar
and hasten southwark ere the skies are frowning.
Bow comes fragrant breeze
Through the dark cedar trees
And round about my temples fondly fingers,
In gentle playfulness
like to the soft
Bestowed ia happier days by loving fingers.
Yet though a sense of grief
Comes with the falling Leaf
sind memory makes the summer doubly pleasant,
In all my autumn dreams

Passing the fairest glories of the present!

Flood and O,Brien.

George Alfred Townsend contributes
another interesting chapter to the his
tory of mining speculations in Califor-
MIA, describing the Bank of Nevada,
which is to rise on the ruins of the Bank
of California and is to be the property
of Flood and O'Brien and Fair and
Mackay. Flood and O'Brien were a few
years ago sort of Delmonico to the OPP
orators on California street, keeping the
liquor and lunch place there. They
caught the air and secrets of the patrons
of their house, and tried mining specu-
lative stocks little. AS they increased
they got an engineer to look about the
Comstock lode for them and picked up
q mine supposed to be worn out called
the tsHale and Norcross. This they
soon developed into a new source of ac-
tual wealth They paid for it seventy
cents per share when the whole number
of shares ahoat was only 5000. As they
brought out the bullion they watered
the stock, and it went up hundreds per
cent. They then built crushing mills
and began to feel under their shaft to
the west mine. There they discovered
q real bonanza, for in those mining ven
lures there is reality as well as ro-
nance, and while the proprietors of the
mine were asleep or ignorant, these min
ers picked up their stock and began to
take ST. 800, 900 month of bullion out
of this new acquisition. The stock, of
course, was watered and went skyward.
Only four men owned all this wealth.
Thus, mining bullion at the rate of $780,
100000 per annum, these parvenues be-
came a power beside the Bank of Cali
