ably the best arrangement for an eco

BILE experiment the system is now con-

flied success. The sewage is collected in
large tanks, and when the work of chem
ical precipitation has been accomplished,
the effiuent, which is discharged into the
Blackstone River, is so pure that chem

The system is in use in European cities,

Fish Not Biting in Bonner Lake

Albert Johnson was down from Donner
Lake, says the Truckee Republican, and
says that the trout are not taking a hook
at all. The cause of this he explains is
that Donner Lake is way above high
water mark, and all of the big flat at the
head Of the lake is covered with water
five feet deep. The trees make a forest in
the lake and boat can be rowed through
the big grove. Trout win not bite hook

SAN Francisco, May 1O.-A glance at
the error column in the score of the
morning game at Emeryville will show
why San Francisco lost. The San Fran
ciscos played a poor fielding game, in
which Hassamer led in the laundering.
Young pitched good ball. Garfield was
hurt in the eighth inning, and gave way
to Mars.
In the afternoon game San Francisco
had an easy victory. Cobb pitched a
grand game, shutting out the Oakland
Club without base hit or run. The San
Franciscos batted Mars all over the field
in the last three innings.

DYING IN THE sHELLs.

When chicks die in the shells there is a
loss of both eggs and chicks. When eggs
from immature pullets are used, or eggs
from inbred stock, or from stock in which
the male or the hens are lacking in some
essential, there will be loss of eggs during
incubation. One of the mistakes usually
made Is IN supposing that eggs must have
moisture; that is, the eggs must be in the
presence OF damp earth, or resting on it.
Inc eggs under hens are therefore sprin-
EIed, Whlle pans of water are kept in in
cubators to supply moisture. Recent
experiments show that during incubation
the moisture water in the egg is rapidly
given OIL, and near the end of hatch
EestS show very large air space at the
large end of the egg. The chick does not
ill this space, but seems packed in the
egg lower down.
When too much moisture is given the
chick grows more than it should, and be-
comes too large to remain in the egg and
not sufficiently developed to come out.
The conclusion is that no moisture is nee
essary for incubation unless in extremely
drv locations, and then not so much with
a view of supplying moisture as TO pre-
vent too much evaporation from the egg.
Chicks will die in the shells, however.
desnite all that can be done, as there are
so many conditions regulating incuba-
tiou which cannot be all complied with.
A chick NAV inherit weakness from its
11arents or the eggs used may not be of
normal size, or perfect in every respect.

 Captain Ward and his probable pennant winners put up strong game against the local team yesterday afternoon, and took them into camp to the tune of 15 to A. The day was all that could be desired for ball playing, and about 1000 enthusiasts were present at the game. The team from the City of Churches played an exceeding ly strong batting game, but were some what loose in their fielding, the usually re- liable Collins leading the error column with two bad ones to his credit Farrar played first base for the home team and created most favorable impression. Ma hony essayed to play short in place of Forster, whose arm was lame, but he was only moderately successful The features of the game were the heavy hitting of both teams, notably that of Lally and Will son for the home team, and that of Grif- fin, Pinckney and Ward for the visitors. A feature of the game yesterday and
 one which it is hoped will not be repeated
 in subsequent games was the disgraceful
 and absolutely uncalled for guying of the home players by some of the occupants of the right field bleachers. Ball players are l human and have feelings the same as other men and it shows extremely poor
 taste, to say the least, on the part of the l spectators to jser and jibe at the players | of the home team. It certainly does not
 tend to make the man play any better and
 it is practice which ought to be stopped | at once.
 Let the audience support the home play l CTS through thick and thin and then notice l the difference in the results. The score ot yesterdays game:
