Vegetable Growth in Water Mains.

A vegetable growth in the water
mains at st. Paul, Mimi, has lately
been the cause of some trouble The
first case was discovered by the super
intendent il one OF two service pipes in
a single trench supplying double
house. a complaint was made OF bad
water, which flushing failed 70 inn
prove. One of the pipes delivered pure
water and one supplied muddy liquid
that was of no use. This fact led to
the conclusion that one OF the services
was foul, and the remedy applied on
this suppoSition proved effective. The
boiler of a portable engine was con
nected with the faucet of the kitchen
sink from which the muddy water
came and steam pressure OF seventy
pounds forced against the thirtv-five
pounds water pressure for thirty min
utes-thereby driving the water out of
the pipe. Since that time the pipe has
always delivered clear water and
twelve similar cases have been success
fully treated in the same manner.
Great care has to be taken that there
are no leaks in the service pipes and
that none CT the fittings are open dur
ing the steaming process Waverlev

methods and functions of the United
States Fish Commission in its relation
to scientific inquiry, fish culture and
the fisheries, three of the principal
divisions of the Fish Commission or
ganization. The amount of money
available for this purpose was about
800, Preparations were begun IN
1890 under the direction of the COM
missioner, through his representative,
Captain J. W. Collins. In December,
1892, Captain Collins severed his con-
nection with the United States Fish
Commission and DR.. L. H. Bean, the
assistant in charge Of the division o.
fish culture, Was nominated as repre-
sentative and approved by the Presi-
dent. Through the admirable and
painstaking supervision of DR.. Bean,
and the intelligent cooperation of his
assistants, the exhibit at the Fair has
been brought to state of perfection
never before attained. In March,
1898, the Office Of the exhibit was
moved from Washington to Chicago,
and the installation of the collection
was actively begun.
The exhibit illustrating scientific
inquiry was prepared under tho direc-
ton of Mr.. Richard Rathbun, and that

destroy them, that the uncooked yeast
bread has been eaten and with it the
colonies Of germs, that they have
found their way into the blood and
that the call for our services which
followed, has rounded off this sex, ience
OF events.
I have already pointed out that the
germs of disease are to be found IN the
air and dust. The longer any sub
stance to be eaten is exposed to the air,
the greater the chance that germs will
be deposited on it. Bread raised with
yeast is worked down or kneaded twice
before being baked and this process
may take anywhere from four hours to
ten. 1t has, then, the chance Of col
lecting disease germs during this pro
cess of raising and it has two periods
of working down or kneading during
each Of which it may gather the dirt
containing the germs from the bakers
hands. AS no bread save that raised
with yeast, goes through this long
process of raising and kneeding so no
bread save that raised with yeast has
SO good chance Of gathering germs.

CURIOUS FACTS.

Paper-making ranks Gith among our
industries.
The Roman supper was in three
courses-soups, meats and fruits.
The King of Siam wears golden
hat which weighs twenty-seven pounds.
The use of cotton cloth was brought
to Europe by the Saracens, A. D. 300.
A one-armed resident of Youcalla,
Oregon, built, during the past month,
house twenty-four feet square with
out assistance.
M. W. Thomas, of Richmond, Va,
waved his arm to his wife out of the
open window of q moving railroad car
one day recently and had it badly
broken. It was hard to account for
the accident, but his arm is supposed
to have struck the mailbag catcher.
The discovery of the process of tint
ing white paper was the result of sheer
carelessness. The wife of an English
paper-maker named East accidentally
dropped the "blue bag" into q vat of
pulp, where it lay long enough to give
the entire mass blush tint before she
could recover it.
The ibis, the sacred bird of Egypt,
is occasionally met with in the South,
particularly in Florida. In st. Angus
tine and other coast towns the birds
are frequently seen perched on the
ridge of the roof of house or stable.
They are easily tanned, and seem fond
of human company.
The age of the lat dragon tree of
Orotava was variously estimated at
from 5000 to 10000 years. On the
, lowest estimate it surpassed not only
Domesdsy oaks and Soma Expresses,
but the Hedsor yew, with its 5000
years, and Alphonse Karr's baobabs OF
Senegal. Bslfour gives the ages, as
ascertained by De Csndolie, of the cy.
press as $50 years, the oak 1900, the
yew 1920 and the baobab ss probably
the same as the yew.

of fish culture by Mr.. W. D. C. Raven
ell, with the cooperation of the COM
missioner. In the scientific inquiry
section are to be found illustrations of

the marine library and fish culture
station at Woods Holl, models and il
lustrations of the vessels of the COM
mission, specimens of the seines, trolls,
nets. dredges and other collecting ap-
paratus, together with wire rope used
in dredging operations and the other
accessories for scraping the ocean bot
tom. The apparatus used in sorting
and preserving collections Is also
shown. There is model of the sound
ing machine used in deep sea work and
there are examples OF the various ther-
mometers used in physical observs-
tions. The results OF scientific cx-
plorations of the commission appear
in the form OF charts end models of
the areas over which the vessels have
made their Investigations. In the
cases preserved in alcohol or in q dry
state are many curious animals, both
from the deep seq and from the SUR
face---the cranoids, corals, crabs, sea
pen, starfsh, sea robins. the various
invertebrate animals that form
the food of fishes and foramini-
fera, sponges, cores and mollusks
In this latter class extensive series OF
oysters are exhibited, which show the
rate of growth on different kinds Of
bottoms, the method Of attachment of
the spat, the injuries brought about
by star fish, grills and other enemies
of the oyster. When it is considered
that collections have been made in
depths greater than three miles it will
be evident that the apparatus success
fully used in such operations is of
great public interest. This division is
rounded out by collection OF about
$50 flexible casts Of fishes pointed from
the fresh or living specimens and re
produced with exceeding faithfulness
and skill.
The apparatus used in the fisheries

cluding 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 Mississippi valley,
the great lakes, the Atlantic Ocean, and
recently a successful shipment was
brought from the Pacific in salt water.
The 10000 gallons of salt water were
brought from the Atlantic in tank cars
at one time, and each car of the COM
mission bringing a load of fish in
creases the supply by about 1000 gal
Ions. The experiment has proved so
successful that the sea animals, tube
worms. star fish, king crabs and many
other fishes have reproduced since
their arrival in Chicago.
In the fresh-water section may De
found all the wel-known kinds OF
trout, the pike trout, rainbow, lake,
lochleven, black spotted, the grayling,
white fish, black bass, pike, pike perch,
paddle fish, tench, buffalo, fresh-water
drum and host of other fishes known
to the angler and fishermen. The
marine tanks contains sheepshead, sea
robins, tautog, sea bass, croker, spot,
soup, swell fish, bur fish, file fish,
skate, shark, remora, sailors choice,
Gunner, mummychogs, several kinds
of sea turtles, crabs, anemones, whelps,
star fish, Holsters and pompano, be-
side some viviparous perch and other
fish from California. 1t is certain that
fully two-thirds of all the people who
enter the grounds visit the aquarium,
and it is usually matter OF great diff
Guilty to pass through the crowd OF
visitors in that building.

Hunting Seals With the Spear.

Unlike the white men, the Neah
Bay (Washington) Indians take most OF
their seals with the spear. Longprac-
tice makes them proficient in its use,
and unlucky is the seal that pops its
head above the surface within radius
of ten yards from their canoes They
are as skilful in the management Of
their frail canoes as Sioux warrior is
of his nimble pony. In their chase
they use the native dugout, hewn
bodily from some cedar tree. 1t is
light and fragile, and rides the swells
off the coast with the buoyancy OF
cork.
There are two men sent adrift in
every canoe. With a long line at
tached to his spear handle the marks
man has his weather eye out for his
sleek-coated victim. With unerrine
aim he sends his dart thr ough the seal,
and with this line draws it into the
boat, where it is dubbed to death.
They make use of the double-bar'
relied gun, but are not in love with it.
Their chase seldom leads them beyond
fifty or sixty miles seaward, aud they
are thus enabled to run in and out at
their pleasure and avoid the heavy
gales. Sometimes they will follow the
seal long way north and generally
return we'll paid. Their range north
and south as general rule is confined
within the limits OF Cape Disappoint-
ment on the north and Gray's Harbor
on the south.
OF the 400 men and youths on the
reservation these may be divided into
three classes, seal hunters, fishermen
and farmers, There are some who
never 60 out on the chase, but stay at
home and grow few vegetables,
fruits, grass, ETC., while others angle
for the salmon that are almost con-
silently to be found in the waters which
gurgle and spin about Cape Flattery
promontory. A steam schooner calls
at regular intervals and carries away
the fruits of their trolling lines.-

In the Dome. of St. Paul's Cathedral.

In the Dome. Oh Sts TaufS CdtueNua.
There is only one St. Paul's, and
upon the summit of its dome there is
but one ball. Atlong intervals Lon
doner, and more frequently tourist,
climbs to this ball and sticks his head
and shoulders inside. Having done
this and looked upon the heart of the
world from the stone gallery and the
golden gallery, and upon the congre-
CATION from the whispering gallery, ne
returns to earth and tells his friends
and acquaintance of his feat, and ad-
vises them to follow his example. The
number of persons who make this pill
grimage averages about forty per day.
To reach the ball it 1s necessary to
climb GAO steps of many varieties. The
proportions Of the gilded globe are in
perfect keeping with its surrou ndings.
It has diameter of six feet, and twelve
persons can stand within it's walls. It
weighs $500 pounds The gilded cross
that towers above it is fifteen feet in
height. From this ball nearly all Lon
don is seen on clear day. Why there
are so many kinds of steps in the cathe-
dral no one pretends to explain. Ia
the opinion of those who have counted
them, to climb these steps is equal to
covering twenty miles on an ordinary
road. 1t is universally considered,
however, that the return journey is
equal to Russian bath. The first
steps are of wood. These are succeeded
by steps of stone, and these in turn by
iron ones. Then there are ladders,
some with a gentle slant, while others
stand so straight that to those who
climb they appear to lean backward.
The first ladder stands on the crown OF
second dome, where an officer gives
necessary directions to such men as
want to see the ball, for few try to 60
above the crown of the dome, being
content to rest there and watch some
exceptionally active sightseer do the
rest. Chicago Herald.

Measuring the Power of Light.

The method of measuring the candle
power of light is simply to move an
object along a graded scale, away from
the light, until it ceases to shadow; ;
q mark on the scale OF this point indl-
eating the candle power of the fame.
It is apparent that the shadows thrown
are to great extent dependent on the
intensity of the light. Thus water
gas, which gives q more intense light
to given area than coal gas, casts
q strong shadow IN the measuring ma
chine, but when put to practical use
it does not illuminate room 80 well,
not having SO great dihusiye power as
a coal gas light of the same measured
candle power. An analogous case is
that of the sixteen candle power in
candescent light. 1t is very intense,
but does not illuminate room so we'll

Stanford,s Consideration for the Horse.

In employing men to work at Palo
Alto, the late Senator Stanford, Of
California, gave them the most strict
orders. They were told never to
strike, kick, or whip horse, and h:s
instructions to his men we're: "Al-
ways do thing little better than
anybody else, and you will succeed.
When you haddle a horse, treat him q
little better than any one else. When
you breed horse, breed him to a
little better stock each time.
It was in this way that Stanford
revolutionized the horse breeding OF
the country. He never allowed one
of his men to ill-use q horse, and they
knew it. There arc never noise OF
blows around the Palo Alto stables,
and the horses are never frightened
To show his feeling toward his horses,
the late Henry Vrooman once told OF
an occurrence when he was dining
with Senator Stanford. Just after the
dinner, one of the drivers insisted that
he must sec the Senator. He was
ushered in, with blood over his face,
which was badly cut. "John knocked
me down. explained the man, re
ferring to one of the trainers.
"What did you do?' asked the
Senator.
Nothing" replied the man.
sBut you must have done some
thing; I want the truth" persisted
the Senator.
