In the three rings and two arenas

be replaced by two herds OF per.

In the winter season the concerts are held in

Of an evening the fumes OF tobacco are almost
suffocating. IL is the custom Of q party of six
or eight elderly ladies to come here nearly
every day. They all wear their hair plainly
conbed down over the ears in the old fashion
Each one orders her favorite dish and when
that is eaten they knit vigorously on some work
taken from their handbags. During the inter-
walls between the pieces their heads come very
close together and they nod earnestly, evidently
discussing the latest bit Of gossip.
Near By IS a group Of officers who are slipping

who SIT near them very demurely with their
parents. The Palmer Garten is an excellent
place To observe German life.

any number Of small ones connected with res
taurants, where music may be heard nearly every
fine evening Sometimes il IL single violin a flute
cornet. a band of Tyrolese singers. who,
dressed in their native costumes are singing
the wild mountain airs. The people sit very
quietly at the tables. drinking or smoking, and
at 10 o'clock all disperse and the garden Is dark
and deserted. One of the laws of the city is
that no public entertainment, an evening party
with music. or even piano playing in q private
house. can continue after 10 o'clock without
a special permit from the police. This is
a great blessing in a city of apartment
houses and insures peace and quiet at an early

SQUIRT CLANS AND THEIR HABITS.
A New Discovery Which Will Render Their
Transportation Easy.

A New Discovery Which Will Render Their
Transportation Easy.
A recent discovery respecting the so-called
'Iong clam, which is esteemed such precious
delicacy in New England. has rendered the
problem of transportation Of this species to
Pacific or other waters comparatively easy
one. Up to the present time, in transplanting
mollusks, the adults only have been used. Be-
cause grown-up oysters are able to withstand
the hardships of long journey. those bivalves
have been successful in obtaining foothold in
the rivers and estuaries of California CLAIMS,
however, are more delicate, and their trans
portation for stocking purposes has usually
ended disastrously. 1t was very fortunate,
therefore, that Prof Ryder, working for the
United States fish commission at Woods Holi
found out not long ago fact or two which up
set all previous theories and which have rem
dered the transportation of long clans q matter
comparatively easy.
1t had been supposed that the young clam, as
soon us Matched, buried itself at once in the
sand, but such is very far from being the fact.
Instead of doing that 1t fastens itself to such
objects weeds or sticks for a number of DAYS,
until it is big enough to attend to the business
of securing for itself hole. Numerous speci-
mems were found by Prof. Ryder suspended on
floating timbers, ranging in size from less than
a milllmeter to nearly three-quarters of
an inch in length. At this period of their exist
ence the young clans can be transported and
transplanted in indefinite numbers without the
slightest difficulty, SO that there is no reason
why they should not afford a palatable food
supply in many parts of the world where up to
the present time they have been unknown.
United States Fish Commissioner Mcdonald
speaks in his report, Just issued, of this dis
covery'as one having the greatest importance.
Long, or squirt clans. as they are sometimes
called. are found plentifully as far north as the
Arctic ocean, where the seals, walrus. polar
bears and foxes feed upon them greedily. Their
habitat extends as far south as Cape Hatteras,
below which they are scarce. Their spawning
season is in June and July. In issuing from
the ovaries Of the female the eggs find their
way into cavities of the outer gills. There they
develop into little CLAIMS just big enough to
be seen with the naked eye, when they are dis
charged by thousands into the water and left
to take care of themselves.

world, its timbers extending downward $50 feet,
SO many timbers that they seem a network Of
lines and. angles. From this point we wind
downward along the mountain side toward the
smiling valley where the Spaniards founded
their capital three centuries ago. There is
hardly foot OF this road that did not have to
have bed cut for 1t out of the side of the
mountain, and in the short distance of twenty
three miles there are no fewer than forty
tunnels. Some of them are several hundred feet
long and all ere SO narrow that there is barely
room for the train to squeeze through. Track
walkers are met every half mile. whose duty it
is to be constantly on the move. for there is no
telling when a rock may roll down the mountain
side to the track. / am told that these track
walkers find on an average from thirty to fifty
rocks every day, any one OF which would derail
the train and send it rolling down the precipice.
So uncertain the movements of these
bouders that no trains run after dark and if
train be beiated the mountain after sun
down it remains sidetracked till next day
break.
Freights are high on this line So the ton, and
no train carries more than three cars attached
to its locomotive, each car having a capacity of
ten tons. Some days as many ar thirty or forty
trains so from the seaboard to Caracas, and the

a rich harvest FANNIE D. WARD.
