and from fishing boats prosecuting their
calling in the immediate vicinity of
Gloucester. Prof. James W. Miner
believes that before long all the spawn
which will be required can be obtained
If these experiments are successful,
and there is no reason why they may
not be, new and most useful career is
open to fish culture, the benefits of
which can hardly be imagined. There
is no fish SO wonderfully prolific as the
cod. Nature seems to have given the
gad1s, and to almost all its different
species the power of producing in each
individual many millions of its kind.
This bountifulness is evidently pre-
caution, as the waste OF eggs must be
immense. 1T is quite certain that but
fractional portion of the eggs Of sea-
fish ever mature. The most conclusive
testimony can be brought forward to
prove that the percentage of loss in ar
tificial fish-hatching is Immensely less
than by the natural process. Perhaps
if guess were made-for it can be
after all but guess work-in sea. fish not
one egg in thousand produces fish.
Eggs are devoured by other fish, by
birds, or are stranded on the shore, or
dashed to pieces by the impact Of the
waves. In artificial shnd -hatching, q
loss of 10 per cent. is considered as very
large. There are certain advantages
which eggs artificially Matched in sea
water would have over eggs in fresh
water. In salt water, the fungoid
growths, which are fatal to the eggs,
do not as readily make their appear
ance, and the temperature of the water
can be more readily managed.
Goldfish are not the only sea- fish
which this new effort in fish culture
may develop. 1t is by no means i'm
possible that the eggs Of the mackerel
may be collected, fructifed, and
Matched, and tdrned out in American
waters.-N. Y. Times.

The WASHINGTON MoNUMENT.-Mr.
W. w. Story has submitted the follow
ing plan for the modification of the
Washington monument The monu-
ment as it stands he takes as the core
OF his structure, and encases it with the
colored marbles with which America is
so rich, and changes its character into
a tower with portico OF its base.
In front of this porch, or rather en-
riched beneath it, he places q colossal
statue of Washington within. reach of
the eye, SO that it could be seen in all
its details as the commanding feature
of the front. On the opposite side he
proposes q statue of Liberty-achieved
by Washington for the country-and
on the two sides two great bronze doors
figured over with the principal events
of the Revolution, and with the por-
traits of the distinguished men of the
period, the conductors OF Washington.
Fame on the top of the tower in gilt
bronze-the spiritual essence of his life
he himself at the base, the corporal
presence. This design, he adds, would
necessitate no destruction of what has
been done all would he decorated and
beautified in effect, and make striking
feature in the city, commanding view
far down the country. The Washing.
ton National Monument society, at q
meeting in Washington on Tuesday,
adopted Mr.. Story's plan, and APP
pointed committee to confer with the
committees on public buildings and
grounds of the Senate and House.

The total represents the amount OF
money the Government has invested in
the District of Columbia, under the
items named, none of which, under the
statutes, is taxable. The Government
owns all the streets, avenues, alleys,
larks and public grounds in Washing.
FtH1n, and is proprietor of about one
half the acreage of the city. In lieu
Of taxes, it annually provides one-half
of the money required to support the
District government.
The money expended for works of
art seems enormous, but $125, 900 of it
is invested in the Corcoran art gallery
in peculiar way. When the war broke
out Corcoran sympathized with the
South and went to Europe. The art
gallery which bears his name had been
erected, but not occupied. The Gov
eminent seized it and used it during
the war. When Corcoran came home,
in 1865, he brought suit for rent, and
$125, 900 was paid him, with the stipu.
lation that it should be part of the
endowment of the gallery. The other
investments for art have been very ex.
travagant. There are many good
pieces and many poor ones in the pos
session of the Government, but in al
most every case extravagant prices
have been paid, and the purchase made
for other reasons than the artistic ex-
cellence of the article. For instance,
the hideous, nude statue of Washing
ton, which stands opposite the east front
of the capitol, cost $40, ITO "a. The
equestrian statue of Scott, at the inter-
section of Rhode Island and Massachu-
sets avenues, which is perhaps the
best piece of its kind in the city,
cost the enormous sum of ST., 900.
The equestrian statue of Washington,
which stands at the intersection of
a Pennsylvania avenue, X and Twenty
second streets, cost S5S. $40, and Clark
fills statue of Jackson, which occu.
pies Lafayette square, opposite the Ex-
ecutive Mansion, cost SIS, 442. The
marble figure of Lincoln, which stands
on a marble shaft in front of the City
Hall, cost $15, 900, and the wretched
statue Of Rawlins, which stands down
on the river bank, surrounded by negro
cabins, cost $13, 900.
The ridiculous groups of Columbus
and the Frontierman's family on the
Aeast portico of the Capitol cost-the
former $50, 900 and the latter $50, 900.
The historical paintings by Jonathan
Trumbull in the Capitol rotunda cost
$32, 900, and Healy's collection of Presi-
dental portraits cost IS, 500, which was
as good an investment rs any made.
Another good investment was the $780,
OOO spent in frescoing the Capitol cor
ridors and committee rooms. Brady's
collection of photographs Of distin-
guished men cost $25, 900.
1t appears that Major L'Enfant, the
Frenchman who planned the city of
Washington in 1892, received only
1884 for his services, while Walter,
the architect who designed the Capitol
building, got $50, 900.
1t cost $4S, 1888 SO to remove the seat
OF government to Washington in 1900.

The Christian al Wogk says "Christ
died on Friday, April>2, A. d. SO, on
which day there was an eclipse of the
moon. if the calculations of Prof. Lut-
terback are to be relied upon, as il
would seem they are. The matter has
before this attracted attention. A year
or so ago, Prof. Brahus, of Leipsic,
announced definitely that there was
such an eclipse. The we'll. known Ger
man astronomer, Prof. Lutterback,
took tho matter in hand, and in pub.
lished letter to Prof. Brahus, written
early last summer, says, I take the
liberty of communicating to you that
had it exactly calculated after Leland Is
and Burchard's tabulated statements of
the variations of the orbit of the moon.
The eclipse began at lie O'Clock, Paris
time, or 1857 o'clock and six seconds
Jerusalem time. Greatest phase, 4
o'clock, three minutes and four seconds.
Paris time, or six o'clock, nineteen
minutes and six seconds. Jerusalem

ty-nine minutes and three seconds,
Paris time, or 8 o'clock, forty-one min
utes and three seconds, Jerusalem time;
the shadow covering so of the moon.
AS the moon rose at 6:04 o'clock in
Jerusalem, she rose already eclipsed
over the horizon. Finally, let me add
that the Sd of April, of the year 33,
was Friday"

pears from DIR. Busch's new book,
claims that his motive and acts spring
from the depths of his religious faith
and of his trust in future life. If he
did not put his trust in Heaven, he
would not put his trust in Princes.
Why, he asks, should he so on work
ing indefatigably if he were not con-
WINGED that he had been providentially
ordained to unite Germany and annex
Alsace and Lorraine2 "Take away my
faith and you destroy my patriotism.
But for my strict and literal belief in
the truths of Christianity, but for my
acceptance of the miraculous ground
work of religion, you would not have
lived to see the sort of Chancellor ]
am" He takes credit to himself for
being the most eminent Christian in
Germany. "I live in a generation OF
Pagans. Find me q successor who is
as firm believer as myself, and
will resign at once" During the war
with France, the Princess Bismarck, as
if she feared that he would find no
Bibles in France, wrote him she was
going to send him q copy of the

What the Capital Has Cost.

the Government, since its origin, in the
District of Columbia. This statement
has been prepared by Mr.. Bailey, of the
warrant division. and is full Of inter-

for what may be called permanent i'm
provements, including original expen-
ditures, the cost of repairs, furnishing
and keeping in order the public institu-
tions in Washington are as follows:
