Open Infraction of the Law.

five may judge by the large guam
titles of game fish brought to this
market for sale, from the lakes and
streams of Miller and Bowie counties,
the day cannot be far distant when
this favorite element of the "finny"
tribe will be entirely eliminated from
the piscatorial species of our native
waters In view Of the fact that our
State statutes contain laws expressly
prohibitive Of these practices, II Is in-
deed strange that such wholesale de-
struction of every species of native
game fish should be permitted, and
that too, under the very eyes of our
most ardent sportsmen and within
easy reach Of the officers of the law.
We have for some time felt it our
duty to call attention to the unusual
ly large numbers of these fish market
cd in Texarkana during the past few
months. At such a rate it is only a
question of very few years when the
waters Of these counties will be as
barren Of every species of game fish
as some of the once popular trout
streams of the older States, the waters
Of which, only few decades since,
literally teemed with those famous
speckled beauties, but which to-day
are wholly depopuated. Let our laws
be enforced, and, if possible, COM
plele stop put to the illegal taking or
netting of these fish.

Water-Tests,

To learn whether impurities in water
arise from the presence of acid, plunge
piece of litmus paper into it. If the
paper turns red it denotes the presence
of acid. If precipitant falls on the
addition of lime water, it is a proof
that carbonic acid is present If blue
sugar-paper is turned red by the water,
there is mineral aid in solution. If
iron is suspected, take little nutgall,
boiled, and add to the water. The
presence of black iron will cause it to
turn gray or laky red. Prussiate of
potash dissolved in the water will
cause it to turn blue, denoting the
presence of iron. A good test for lime
is few drops of oxalic acid in large
tumbler of water Blow rpc1 it, and
if the action of the breath causes it to
turn milky, lime is present. A little
good soap dissolved in alcohol and
turned into a glass of hard water will
cause it to turn milky; if soft, it will
remain clear. A few drops of sirup
will cause water containing earthv
matter to turn green.-Old Homestead.
