Making Sturgeon.

During last summers freshet lot of stur-
geon got over the dam at Columbia, Oregon,
and remained feasting in the mud below. The
mud falling. they could not find their way cut
OF the mouth of the slough, so they made the
journey overland across the strip of land to deep
water in the Columbia River Just how they
navigated the land is not known, but it IS cer-
tain they got across. Mr.. Robert a Haber-
sham, assistant United States engineer, who
went down last week TO supeTintend securing
the work already done against future freshets,
noticed number of trails across the sand from
the slough TO the river, and examined them
carefully for footprints but none could be dis
covered He then made inquiries OF persons in
the neighborhood. who assured him that crawl
ing sturgeon had left the tracks. Following up
what appeared TO DO the freshest track, he came
upon the carcass of a sturgeon half way across
the peninsula. There was no track beyond the
place where the fish lay but one leading di-
recty TO it from the slough. The conclusion is
inevitable that the sturgeon used their fms and
tails as feet and walked three-legged to deep
water.

Commanding Cavalry Di'
Room Ventilation.

No time could be better than the present for
beginning the practice of house ventilation by
the window, which IS still, ia the majority of
houses. the readiest and the safest means of
obtaining a regular and constant supply of
fresh air. This practice, begun in warm
weather may be carried on, with proper care
through autumn and winter. The constantly
accommodating impurities derived from breath,
from perspiration, from excreta of other kinds
collected in sleeping rooms, from the use of
gas or lamp light, and too often even now from
suction of sewage gas from waste pipes by the
heat of house fires, etc, render it as necessary
for health as for comfort that these should
have free egress, and that they should be sub
stituted by the pure outer air. Fresh air from
without may very easily be had without
draught, and without risk of cold even to
delicate persons, if few simple rules be
observed. The cold air of winter of course
enters with greater force and in greater pro-
portional volume than the more equable sum
mer air into warm room. The aperture of
ingreSs must be correspondingly diminished.
Air from window is preferable to that from
an open inner door, no matter how roomy the
house. from its more reliable purity. If the
window be the inlet, the FIRE, fire place, or it
may be the door of room in summer acting
as an inlet, or it may be opened from the top,
I the extent being regulated according to the
inward current at the upper part, which fol-
lows the roof of the room, thus mingling with
any heated waste products which require to be
removed and an interrupted current at the
middle, the previous line of junction of the
upper and lawer sashes, both are broken and
diffused by the blinds or curtains. Venetians
for this purpose should be turned upwards. A
window should never be made to ventilate by
opening it from below, unless the open lower
space be filed up in some way, and ventilation
be carried ON at the middle, where the sashes
/ join; otherwise draughts are unavoidable. The
ventilating pane is hardly less simple and
