A Mighty Haul Of Fish.

A salmon fisher and packer from Alaska
told to fellow patient in New York
hospital the other day wonderful story
of what is perhaps the greatest single
salmon haul on record. The company to
which the narrator belongs has its head
quarters at San Francisco, and sends
each year to one of the Alaskan rivers
schooner bearing sixty men, all of whom
are busted in making tin salmon cans
during the voyage. The point at which
the camp was made last season is 800
miles from the nearest post Office. The
season lasts from May to October, and the
pack of the company on that particular
river was 100000 pound cans.
On the day of the great salmon hanl
enormous schools of salmon were dis
covered in n reach of the river. The
stream was guarded at three points with
traps, and the fish were driven toward
three great nets. The school was so
thick presently that it was difficult to
run a boat through the enclosed pool.
Great fish leaped out of the water and
struck the oars from the hands of the
rowers. At length the haul was made,
and at least 10000 fish were drawn
ashore. Two-thirds of the fish were
liberated, as it was impossible to cure at
once more than the $4,000 that were
saved. The fish averaged nearly eight
pounds each.- New York Sun.

Authority Granted TO the President to
suspend Immigration.

The Senate passed on Tuesday, with
out a division. the Quarantine bill re-
ported by Mr.. Harris, after amending 1t
so as TO make ii a substantial compromise
between the idea OF strictly co-opera-
tive State and National quarantine and
that of exclusive Federal quarantine
power. The Secretary of the Treasury
has discretionary power under the bill as
passed to assume control of quarantine at
any port or place where the State regula-
tions seem to him defective or insufficient;
and to this extent the State authority is
made subordinate to authority Of the
Treasury Department aud the Marine
Hospital service. BY the seventh sec
ton, added to the bill, the President Is
authorized to suspend immigration in
case OF threatened infection from such
countries and for such length OF time as
he may deem necessary. The Federal
power is thus materially enlarged and
fortified for dealing with infectious dis
case, and the only means by which a
State can maintain its own exclusive
quarantine service in its own ports or
cities is to make that service of such a
character as to meet the entire approval
of the Federal experts.
The bill, as a whole, is fairly salts
factory and meritorious one and, if it be-
comes a law, will greatly decrease the
danger of an invasion of cholera next
spring. 1t should have an excellent
prospect of early passage in the House OF
Representatives.
The pending question was on the
amendment offered Tuesday by Mr..
White, that all provisions of the act shall
expire on January 1, 1S9J. 1t was re-
Jected-yeas 10, nays 33.
The bill (Which had been in Committee
of the Whole) was reported to the Senate
and all the amendments were concurred
in.
Mr.. Villas moved an amendment that
the President shall have power to
suspend "all passenger travel" The
exigency which should forbid immigra-
ton should be sufficient to forbid al
passenger travel. The amendment was
rejected-yeas, II; nays, %.
DIR. Palmer moved to amend the same
section by striking out the words
suspend immigration" and inserting the
words prohibiting in whole or in part
the introduction of persons or property.
The amendment was agreed to without q

Pottery and Porcelain.

There is vast difference between
pottery and porcelain; pottery being
Opaque and porcelain translucent. "Fai-
ence" is the term applied to all glazed
pottery, and "biscuit" to all unglazed
pottery or porcelain. Technical terms
are troublesome, and therefore will be
omitted when possible.
In China, porcelain was manufactured
before the Christian era; but the art did
not reach Europe until the sixteenth
century. Pottery had been manufactured
mt least two centuries before; but, al
though constantly searching, chemists
were not able to find the necessary ma
tcrials for the manufacture of porcelain
The art of glazing with salt was discov-
cred at Burslcm, England, in
1880, in rather curious way.
A servant while boiling salt for
brine, in an earthen vessel, allowed the
water to boil away; the pan became red
hot, and when it was noticed was COW
cred with beautiful glaze. News of
this discovery spread rapidly; and the
potters taking advantage of the hint, salt
glaze became common. -
There are two kinds of porcelain, hard
and soft; and there are several methods
by which these may be distinguished.
the soft paste can be scratched with a
sharp knife on any part not covered with
the glaze. 1t also has a somewhat soapy,
warm feeling to the touch, and the frac-
ture has the appearance OF cream. Hard,
or, as it is sometimes called, ''true, :"
porcelain is heavier than the soft, is q
purer white, and is cold to the touch.
When broken, the fracture looks like
alabaster; and, as rule, the rim under
meath the plates and other pieces escapes
the glaze Demorest's Magazine.

A Curious Damage Suit.

F. E. Sloat, of Brockport, N. Y,
owner of the stallion Cambria Wilkes,
has brought an action for $50, 900 against
the Bell Telephone Company for dam
ages alleged to have been the result of a
b!under by an operator in Rochester. A
year ago the horse was injured by an ac-
cident, and Sloat sent telephone mes
sage to DR.. Edward Crandall, a veterin-
airy surgeon of Rochester, asking him to
come to Brockport on the first train.
The receiving operator substituted
Fairport for Brockport and signed the
name of f. E. Smith. The message was
sent to DIR. Crandall's Office and he went
Immediately to the New York Central
Station, only to find that the local train
for the East had just gone. A train for
Brockport, however, was standing in the
station house, q messenger was sent after
the doctor by Sloat, and the surgeon
finally reached Brockport after several
hours delay. He was too late to be of
aid to the animal, although, so the plain
tiff states, the injuries would not have
resulted seriously if the doctor had ar
rived promptly.-[New York Times.

Bacteria I'm Bills.

Congressman Cultivate has been max
ing an investigation into the disease
carrying capacity of dirty currency
note.
DIR. Graham writes that he made an
examination of eight bills. A one-dollar
bill of the series of 1878 showed three
kinds of bacteria; one of series of 1885,
two kinds; two two-dollar bills of the
same series, one bactcrirm each. and an.
other dollar bill. series of 1885, two
kinds. The bills were All much worn
and very dirty. The culture made of
the notes showed that on each of them
there were numbers of bacteria colonies,
which might some day, under some cir
cumstances, develop energy enough to
immigrate to the human system. For in
stance the doctors report shows that one
of the bills has thirteen colonies of two
kinds of bacteria.
The doctor says that it yet remains to
determine the nature of the various mi
crobes to ascertain if they be pathogcnic
germs capable Of producing disease. =

Ants In Africa.

A correspondent of the London
Graphic writing from Umtali Africa,
says: Sir John Lubbock ought TO come

There are millions and tens of millions of
them. The ground round our huts is
riddled with deep holes, the entrance to
white ants nests. These insects are ter
ribly destructive; leathern bag will be
eaten into holes IN one night. think
everything in the country would be de-
voured by them If it were not for the
black ants. These are quite half an inch
long, and they prey on the smaller white
ants. One suddenly sees a long black
line extending for thirty or forty yards
along the hospital compound. The
line moves with "a sharp. rustling sound,
like the crisp rustling of dried
leaves. One looks closer and finds that
the black line is an army of ants going
to storm u white ant heap. One ant
alone goes ut the head of the column,
which is about eight inches wide. On
each side run single ants, busting up
stragglers and rushing TO drag sticks and
straws out of the way of the army, which
streams down into the nest it has in view,
and in about ten minutes streams home
again in excellent order, each black ant
carrying "A white one. 1t is most curl
Gus sight. There are very few birds to
be seen; few golden orioles and some

Twenty-Five Billions Insurance.

The enormous increase in the fire in
surancc business of this country in
recent years is shown, remarks the New
York Times, by some figures just col
lccted by q well-known adjuster, who
fixes the total amounts insured at the
close of 1892 at $22, 900, 900, 00o, which
represents about 1915 per cent. of the
total property valuations in the United
States. In 1862 the percentage Of
amounts insured in the total property
valuation was only nine. In 1870 it had
increased to 1878, in 1880, to 20. 80, and
ia 1890 to GOAL. The total amounts in
sured to-day are nearly thirteen times
greater than they were in 1860, while
the property valuations are only four, or
at the most four ard half times greater.
G. G. Hinc, of New York City,
an excellent authority on fire
insurance matters, said recently that the
amount Of this increase is not so very
astonishing, because every industry en-
larges here phenomenally, but that the
percentage of increase on the values to
be insured raises the inquiry whether the
fire insurance mine has not now been ex-
hausted. Whether or not these reduc-
tons as to the fertility of the fire insur-
ance field are correct, it is certain that
there never was more grumbling among
the underwriters than there is to-day.
The year that has just closed has been
remarkably severe for fire losses, and in
Brooklyn and Milwaukee the field men
are in state bordering on CONSERVATION.
This condition of affairs is the result of
numerous causes, extending through q
term of years. Increasing rates and de-
creasing commissions, together with a
complicated agency system involving
agents, brokers, and middlemen of high
and low degree, have each contributed
to the general decentralization of which
the underwriters complain.
