are growing rapidly. When first Matched they
are unable to swim out Of the Jar and must be
transferred to troughs, in which they feed
readily and grow at an astonishing rate. ALI
the important forms OF fish hatching apparatus
now In use in this country are exhibited BY the
commission, and as far as possible they are
shown in actual operation, for which purpose
artificial eggs are at present chiefly used. In a
short time a supply Of trout eggs will be re-
celved, and little later eggs of the California
salmon VIII be sent, so that during almost the
entire term Of the exposition the people NAV
see hatchery at work. This section contains
also full-sized boats, containing lay figures, to
illustrate the method of catching and manipu-
lating spawning shad and cod. 1t is further
ampliied by means Of a series Of enlarged pho
tographs of the stations Of the commission and
the flexible casts showing the rate Of growth Of
various fish which are artifcially reared.
THE FISHERIES DIVISION.
The fisheries division occupies about one
half Of the space devoted to the exhibit. Many
Of the important animals which form the OBJ
iect Of tho fishing industry are exhibited in the
form Of casts They include the manatee the
dolphin, black fish. grampus, porpoise. little
whales, harbor seals fur seals and sea lions alli-
gator, half dozen kinds Of turtles, water
snakes, the various frogs. besides the casts OF

France Wants Forage and Meat,

From the London Daily News
Writing Of the evils of tho long drought in
France our Paris correspondent says: If
America could send forage rapidly over to this
country she would find a splendid market for
it. The pastoral districts of France are threat
ened with the extinction of their focks and
herds. Cattle are being sold for what they will
fetch. The Paris market at Vilette has pleth-
ORIG supply. This very abnormal situation was
the subject of long debate in the chamber
this afternoon when a question was addressed
scarcity Of fodder by NJ. Ducoudray NJ yiger
said that something could be done in the way
of obtaining large supply Of timed meat for
the army. and it was decided that proposition
to this effect should be brought forward on Sat-
urday.

Neglected Duty Of Educated Men.

From the Chicago Journal.
Among the perils ahead Of us mentioned by
Theodore Roosevelt in his admirable address to
the northwestern students ON 1.-The College
Graduate and the State" none deserves more
attention than "the selfish indifference Of the
educated classes" To them much is given, and
Of them much should be required. But they
hold aloof from public life aud to q greater ex-
tent than in any country in the world shirk the
responsibilities that belong to their position.
Mr. Roosevelt is a worthy example Of what the
college graduate may be and do for his coun-
try: He is an influence for virtue, courage and
American manhood wherever he happens to be,
on the rarch or platform.

FISH CULTURAL OPERATIONS.

FISH CULTURAL OPERATIONS.
The fish cultural operations Of the commits
sion are principally shown by Matching appara-
tus at work. Eggs OF the shad. yellow perch,
pike perch and sucker have been circulated in
Matching jars, and many young fish have been
distributed to waters near by, while others are
still kept in the collection. The voracity Of the
pike perch has made it difficult to keep the
young long after Matching. It is not an uncom-
mon thing to find three or four Of the little fish
telescoped one upon the other, the loss Of fry
in this way soon becoming serious Some Of
the FISH are, however, reared successfully. The
little suckers are fed upon cottage cheese and

the commission maintains q live fsh exhibit in
the aquarium annex of the fisheries building,
the annex being circular and having diameter
Of 125 feet. The total water capacity Of the
tanks is IN, 900 gallons, OF which 40, 900 are de-
voted to the exhibit Of marine animals and
plants. The surface Of the glass in the front
Of the aquaria aggregates about 5000 square
feet. In the center Of the aquarium building
b large pool containing a mass Of rocks, over
which water is conveyed, and which are o-ns-
mented by aquatic plants The squaris are in
two series, with wide passage way between.
The pool is twenty-six feet in diameter. and
although not deep, is large enough to maintain
great number Of fishes. including several
sturgeon and other large fish nearly five feet in
length The number Of kinds of animals kept
alive in the aquarium is not far from $50. These
have been gathered from various parts Of the

brought from the Pacific in salt water The
49, 900 gallons Of salt water were brought from
the Atlantic IN tank cars at one time and each
car OF the commission bringing a load of fish
increases the supply by about 1000 gallons.
The experiment has proved so successful that

since their arrival in Chicago.

DISAPPEARANCE OF BLONDES.
Fair Hair Becoming Rarcr Each Year. but
1t Is a Survival or tho Fittest.

Fair Hair Becoming Rarcr Each Year. but
1t Is a Survival or tho Fittest.
Blonde women are becoming scarcer
every year, says the American Hair
dresser. You have not lived long
enough to remark the fact, perhaps,
but women with blue eyes and light
hair arc gradually, Though surely, pass
ing away as type. In each successive
generation there are fewer of them
than in the last. Already such thing
as q real blonde, purely such, is so rarc-
ly seen in this country as to excite re-
mark. Golden tresses arc so very fire.
qucnt that real ones are usually sus-.
pected of being blcachcd. In short,
it has, become evident that before long
there will be no blonde women any
moro.
The same thing is true of men.
Among their sex light hair and blue
eyes arc fast disappearing. You may
Judge how rapidly they aro going when
you consider the fact that whenever q
brunette man marries blonde woman,
OF vice versa, sixty-six per cent of tho
children born have dark hair ankt eyes,
At that rate not very many centuries
will be required to wipe out the blonde
type altogether, You wonder how this
matter has been determined with such
accuracy? Simply by including such
statistical observation in the census of
nations in Germany and France, where
the very school children are examined
and thcir characters recorded from an
anthTopological standpoint. Observe
lions made in this way so as to cover
millions Of persons of 10th sexes have
resulted in the discovery that the darls
pGcplc bring more claldrcn into the
world than do light people. Further
more, they have greater muscular vigor-
Hnd they live longer.

GOULD AS A HUNTER.

The Great FinAneIer Was . Poor Hand
with Gun. - s.> e. ...
The following story Of the late Jay
Gould is taken from the Philadelphia
Press: s.r-. o. ...
HE had n horror Of Indians and cow
boys and rough characters Only on
one occasion is he known to have fired
a gun. On one OF his southern trips
through the Indian territory he stopped
over night in his car on q little solitary
side track, miles from all human hab-
itation.
early in the morning slashing, rip
roaring cowboy rode up, and, sticking
tho nose of his bronco through the
sleeping car door, informed Mr.. Gould's
party that a big gang of deer were 'jist
over the hill Two or three Indian po-
lice were in the baggage car nnd Mr..
Gould was not afraid. He made up his
mind to have shot at the deer.
Accompanied by several of hisparty,
and flanlzcd by the Indian police, he
assembled the hill with all che stealth of
an old scout, armed with a big Hotch.
kiss rife. Now, anybody who under
derstands anything about rifles knows
how an old-fashioned Hotchlziss can
kick. Mr.. Gould peeped over the hill,
and, sure enough, eight or ten deer
were grazing out on the prairie about
two hundred yards distant.
"Mr. Gould scorned to take rest for
the gun. He lifted it slowly to his
shoulder, almost after the fashion of u
girl, with the Indian police looking on
IN amusement. The slant of the hill
behind Mr.. Gould was pretty steep, but
he did not notice it. 'Whangp roared
the gun, and the next instant Mr..
Gould was flying down the hill, first on
his. back and then on all fours. The
Indians did not smile. They were too
busy killing deer. While Mr.. Gould's
friends were running to his rescue the
Indians had bagged two, one of which
they tried to persuade Mr.. Gould was
his. But the willy finapcicr knew bot
ter, because, as he put it, 'the gun had
shot backward and kicked him twice
after it had him down. Consequently
hunting could not be considered one of
his pleasures"

generally remembered, but that he was
also elected by the legislature in 1913
by a single vote. lie was candidate
twelve years in succession before his
first election. After TINT election, in
1910, he ran again, and was swainped by
John Davis, who rode into Office on the
