CALIFORNIA SALMON.-Our readers
will remember that last week We made
mention Of the fact that Capt. T.. Saun-
dcrs, of the +. & p. NJ. Railway Land
Department, had deposited 1900
young California salmon in Star Lake,
some five or six miles south of Bald
win. We also, promised brief state
incnt In regard tO the nature ofthe fish,
in this weeks issue.
In 1873, through the courtesy of Prof.
Baird, Michigan received $4,000 sal
mon eggs from the Il. s. Breeding
Camp, on the McCloud River, n tribu-
tary Of the Sacramento. The eggs
were Matched, and during 1894 tho
fish were distributed throughout va
riolis streams and lakes In the State.
They have now full grown salmon at
the State hatchery, ut Niles, and the
fish deposited In Star Lake, came from
thence. In California, the climate and
temperature Of water arc 80 varied that
the simon spawn during August and
September, OH the Mctloud, whilst In
rivers OF the coast, they spawn during
the Winter months. They should new
or be taken for table usc during the
breeding season. II Is then All inferior,
and, perhaps n positively harmful spc-
cics Of diet. In the main Sacramento
river, the salmon averages about four
teen pounds In the Winter, and twcn-
ty pounds In the Summer. Mr.. Liv-
ingston Stone, Deputy u. =. Commits
sioncr, states that one weighing fifty
nine pounds was caught IN the above
named stream. lie also, states that he
deems the California salmon equal 10
that of the salmon caught on the At
lantic coast. The amount Of spawn
produced by tho parent FISH rs about
500 cggs to each pound weight ~ the
fish producing them. The California
salmon Is deemed a better "gamc"
fish than our trout, or grayling, and
they will often jump clear of the water
TO obtain food. Their ability TO climb
waterfalls Is also, something wonderful.

water, held some four or five feet above
the pond containing salmon; the water
being poured into the pond, one Of the
fish followed the stream clear up to the
dipper. The larger fish ut the State
hatchery are generally fed once day,
and eat with avidity, liver, kidneys,
hearts, lights and other meats; besides
Keeping the pond where they are con-
fined entirely free from bugs and in
sccts of every sort. II Is expected, II
the fish thrive well, that In about two
years they will be large enough for ta-

"The Scent OF the Roses"

indianapolis Sentinel.
The most ingenious trick that has yet
been devised by the poverty-stricken
swindler is the "ottar of rose game. 1t
is played in the following manner: A
worthy looking seafaring man has been
going around the business offices OF this
ity, and contrary to the usual custom,
hasn't been asking for money, but has
tod this narrowing tale. He said that
be- was poor man, had been sick and
lot all his money. He didn't ask for
by aid. He only wanted SEINE purchas
erS for several bottles of that seductive
perfume called the "ottar OF rose, which
were worth SIS apiece, but under the cir
cumstances he would sell for 81 80 each.
He found several purchasers among
whom were very prominent fast freight
man and distinguished gentleman who
runs an insurance office. Both Of these
gentlemen invested largely, thinking
that they had indeed struck bonanza
bat upon Investigation they discovered
that they had paid 81 so for bottle OF
common hair oil, scented with about
drop of ottar of rose. After rakirg in
about 5000 the sailor skipped, and left no
trace of his whereabouts. In less than
week we shall probably hear OF his turn
ing up in some smaller town. There Is
no likelihood of his trying indianapolis
again, at least during the present century.
