ACRES OF DEAD FISH. .
The nepeat of Chemical Manufscto

The BENEFIT of Chemical Manufactures.
Tens and tens Of thousands Of dead
fish line the banks Of the Passaic river,
N, j. Above and below the Dundee
dam, near the city OF Passaic, the waters
are polluted. Fog q distance OF a dozen
miles above Paterson down to Dundee
dam, dead fish are everywhere. The
sharp turns and eddies Of the stream are
crowded with them. Some estimate the
number among the millions. Above
Little Falls. between Mead's basin and
the celebrated Rassaic Falls. the dead
fish have been taken out by the CARLOAD
aud used in trenches as fertilizer. An
ancient and fish like smell sweeps for
a considerable distance from the banks.
Near the river the stencil is something
beyond the endurance of even a Cape
Colder For a distance of fifty feet any
where along the shore of Dundee Lake
one may count Lfrom fifty to one hum
dred dead fish. Into a turn Of the river
thousands of the fish had been blown
or drifted, and for o space of fifty feet
square one could hardly see the water
for the floating fish, which might be
gathered by the car load. The mortal
ity among the fish began about week
ago. They appear to be- mostly roach,
yellow bass and suckers. The pickerel,
cells and catfish either sink when dead
or are not affetted. The fish are killed
by chemical poisons flowing from facto-
ries along the river bank, and what is
worst the dead fish are lying ia just that
portion of the ri yer from which the city
of New York draws its water supply.

of bed-ridden fathers, crippled chill

infancy of the art, and can yield but
meagre returns compared with the
new and highly organized institutions
above described.
Another species of fraud unearthed
in London, and of which we have had
examples in New York, is the quasi
legitimate society which collects sub
scriptions for charitable purposes and
does. in fact, eXpend in that way an
inconsiderable fraction of it's receipts,
but which is really framed to fill the
purses of its promoters. One OF the
most important prosecutions underta-
ken by the society from whose report
these details are drawn, was that OF
the ''National Association for the dit
fusion of the Bible and the Distribu-
ton of Clothing," founded by the Rev.
C. S. BORE, who, arrayed in the regu-
latiOn white tie and high. black waist
coat, had secured the West End with
considerable success. The clerical
gentleman hadplaced his enterprise on
a regular footing; it had board OF OIL
rectors, of which he was President, a
treasurer, and with apparent redun-
dancy of caution) an Inspector OF
accounts. Every year appeared an
official report seasoned with the Gus
tomary ''edifying anecdote' and
'.gratifying results and besides fur
thering the specific ends Of his society
the pious founder was credited with
Sunday school, mission, and unre-
mitted expounding of the Gospel to
the poor. 1t turned out ,hOwever,upon
inquiry, that the committee OF direc-
tors and inspector Of accounts had
shrewdly declined to exercise their
functions; that the treasurer, a car
penter by trade; was the President 6
father-in-law; the school mistress was
his wife, who likewise represented
two sub-teachers, highly lauded lnthe
report for their singular zeal in the
Lord work. What was more melan-
choly. the Rev. c. 5. BORE himself
proved to be no clergyman at all. but
to have followed by turns the more
modest vocations of janitor and tailor.
This individual had earned in his new
calling theneat annual income Of three
hundred pounds sterling, but mas.
much as Il few Bibles and some old
clothes had actually been given away.

v find IN Il recent number OF that
valuable journal, The Indianapolis
Sun. Il communication from Al
bert J. Chapman. Of Detroit Mich,
giving something of the history OF
specie resumption in England after
the close of the Napoleonic wal. 1t
will be found interesting to the stu
dent of history, while at the same
time it throws considerable light upon
the events through which we are now
passing:
There were in the Parliament in 1909
two parties. The landed interest COM
prised one paaty. This was under
the lead of Mr.. Charles c. Western,
a great landed proprietor, "of fair
talent and extensive information.
The other party were known as Econ
omists, and which on all occasions,
and even at the expense OF the nation
alinterests. exhibited the baSest tru-
culencv to the banking interest, the
money leading interest. They cor
responded with our bullionists clique.
The Economists party had been
planning. it seems. for sometime to
secure legislation favorable to their
| interests. Their efforts III that d.
rection resulted in what is known IN
history as the ''bullion' committee OF
lSOQ-l0. Mr.. Western occupied up to
this time. what seemed a half neutral
ground. OF the position and prospects
of the owners of the soil. and their
tenantrv. and all depending upon
them. few persons knew more than he
| did. and of the effect upon their we'll
being of anv changes in the economy
of the country. few men indeed knew
as much. He saw that the efforts OF
tbe Economists would eventually be
successful. and he saw also that their
success would be fatal to the prosperi-
tv and we'll being of England. Never
theless he beheld people stepped in
ignorance as regarded the question OF
the currency. and withal poisoned
through a subsidized and unpatriotic
press, Just as are the people or the
United States at this time.
