Millions of Fungi Spores,

All the energies of the fungus plant
seem to be directed to the production of
germs for propagating its kind. Their
number is often almost incalculable.
You have doubtless observed that the
common puff ball when mature is filled
with a fine dust, and this consists en-
tirely Of spores corresponding to seeds,
which are eventually diffused in the air
by the bursting of the puff ball. In sin
gle puff ball more than 10, ,0O0, 900 of them
have been counted, and when these
minute bodies are once set afoat in the
atmosphere they are distributed abroad
over an indefinite space, being so small
that it is difficult to conceive of place
from which they could be excluded
Their astonishing fertility and rapidity
of growth are among the most remark
able characteristics of this vegetable
tribe.-Interview in Washington Star.

only Man Ever Killed by Meteor.

To the writer's certain knowledge
there is but one case on record where a
human being has been killed by an aero
lite or fall of meteoric stone. The fa-
tality mentioned occurred in MILESTONE
township, Crawford county, O., in 1876.
and is recorded in the Bucyrus journal
as follows:
As David Misenthaler, the famous
stockman, Of MILESTONE township, was
driving his cows to the barn about day
Light this morning he was struck by an
aerolite and instantly killed. Itappears
as if the stone had come down from a
direction little west Of south, striking
the man just under or on the right
shoulder, passing obliquely through
him from the right shoulder to just
above the left hip, burying the greater
portion Of his body under itself in the
soft earth. The stone is about the size
Of q wooden water bucket, and appears
to be composed of pyrites of iron.-Phil-

An ADIRONDACK FISH STORY.
4 Gold watch Found Inside Piclrerel
That Had Been Swallowed.


4 Gold watch Found Inside Pickerel
That Had Been Swallowed.
The scene Of the following incident
was about forty miles from Glovers-
vile. on beantiful little lake just
across the table land at Piseco lake in
Hamilton county. The lake is not large,
in no place being more than mile wide,
while it measures from two to three
miles long. The day was all that a
fisherman could desire, and every condi-
ton was right for good fishing. A party
OF three were in the boat, namely, L. E.
Everest; his friend, Professor Spencer,
from Brooklyn, and the writer. They
had driven up from Garoga and were
more than delighted with their luck.
They had taken nearly fifty pickerel in
less than half day, and the size was
good, weighing from 21S to 8 pounds.
The last turn around the ''lucky point"
was being made before we started for
home. Everest, who was trolling one
of the lines, said:
'1've got another; he's q good big one
from the way he pulls"
Everest let him play at one time near
" 200 feet Of line before the fish could
be turned. When he had been brought
into sight he was not SO large as some
we had already in the boat, but there
was an unusual motion all about him.
Soon the line was drawn SO tightly it
was necessary to let him play again.
When brought back it was discovered
that larger pickerel had attempted to
swallow the one on the hook, which was
now quite exhausted.
The big fellow still followed, shark
like, for the dead body Of his victim,
which, however, we were not disposed
to give up. Just as Everest was about
to swing the fish on his hook into the
boat the professor took up the oar, hop
ing to strike and thus capture the large
one. The emovement Of the oar attracted
the attention of the fish, and in a twin
kle he made pass at it. The blade was
about seven inches wide, but his jaws
grated across the upper and lower edge,
saving groove in either side with his
sharp teeth.
The professor, by carrying the oar for
ward with the movement of the fish, at
the same time raising it from the water,
landed the huge fellow into the boat.
He weighed 1879 pounds. The fish on
the hook only weighed three pounds, but
showed signs of battle, being bitten in
several places. Upon opening him we
found, as is often the case, fish of
smaller size in his stomach. This one
showed signs of life, and was opened.
We then discovered pretty little gold
chatelaine watch, and were surprised
that the time agreed with our watches
and that it was running.
More than pleased with our fishing ex-
pedition, we returned to the Adirondack
hotel, and informed Landlord George
A. Mccoy of our luck, at the same time
showing the watch. In less than two min
utes all the guests about the house were
in the Office, and among the number a
pretty young lady from Albany, who
said the watch was token of friendship
which she had priced very highly. When
on the lake in the early part of the day
ithad fallen into the water, and she sup
posed was lost. It is needless to say she
was overjoyed at its recovery.-Albany

While some men were squaring the

suddenly started back in astonishment
on seeing hideous toad about the size

feet from the root. Though mangled
by the ak the creature still moved, but
it appeared old, thin and decrepit. A
