tainty.
Fishing Gazette.
Do fish sleep? No absolutely certain
answer can be given, says Medicus in
the Gazette. My own impression is that
they do, but when say this let it not
be supposed that l confuse their slum-
Der, coma or rest call it what you like
with the sleep of animals.
1t is the same, only in generic kind,
mas much as it relieves the functions as
analogous slumber does in the higher
animals. To understand the meaning l
wish to convey 1t is necessary 10 bear in
mind that the fsn is eminently endowed
with muscular, and, consequently,
great locomotive power. Moreover, as
it consumes but lite oxygen, the waste
of tissue is not great; hence fish have
been known to do without food for a
great length of time.
Similarly, the stress on the vital
powers IS not so great, compared with
that produced by the difficulties of
movement i'll land animals.
These facts, viz, great muscular
power, easy locomotior and small con-
sumption of oxygen. being borne in
mind, we can understand why the ne
cessity for sleep is small, and are pre-
pared TO find that fish sleep but little.

CROP BULLETIN.
The General Outlook One of Great
Prosperity.


Prosperity.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The week has
been cooler than usual in all sections
with the exception of the cotton region
and the lower Mississippi and lower
Missouri valleys. Nearly normal tenn
perature prevailed in the east gulf
states, the lower Missouri valley, and
the central and lower Mississippi val
leys, while it was decidedly warmer
than usual in tie central, eastern and
southern portions of Texas.
Freezing temperature occurred dur
ing the week in the northern and
central Rocky mountain regions, the
upper Missouri valley and the Mime
sofa, While frosts were general in dis
tricts east of the Mississippi, northward
to the Ohio valley and northern Vir-
ginia.
There was decidedly less than the
usual amount of rain from the Upper
OHIO valley and Lake region eastward
to the Atlantic coast, except in the
southern portions of Louisiana, Missis-
slppi and Alabama, where the rainfall
was excessive. Very little rain fell
during the week to the eastward of the
upper Ohio valley and lower lakes, ex-
cept along the middle Atlantic and New
England coasts. At numerous stations
in this region no appreciabe amount of
rain was reported, and similar con-
ditionS existed in Eastern Texas and IN
portions of Georgia and South Carolina.
Over the western portions of the Caro-
linas, Southern Virginia and lower
Ohio valley and generally to the west
ward of the Mississippi the rainfall of
the week has been excessive, and the
Western and northwestern states, over
which severe drought has prevailed for
several weeks, have received abundant
rains. which were greatly nee ded. The
actual rainfall exceeded two inches
over the greater portion of Kansas, and
more than four inches fell In extreme
Northwestern Texas, while from one to
two inches fell throughout New Mexico
Abundant rains also fell over the cen
trail and northern plateau regions, and
generous showers fell OH the North Pa
eific coast.
In the middle Atlantic states the past
week has been very favorable for ma
turing crops and for the work of secur-
ing the same, and the absence of heavy
rains. with generally fair weather, over
the greater portion of the cotton region
has been very favorable for cotton
picking, which is now being rapidly
pushed.
The abundant rains over the central
and western states have put the ground
in good condition for blowing, and will
greatly Improve the pasturage. Wheat
seeding has progressed fayorably, and
wheat that has come up is looking well.
Note-The crops having now been
practically secured in the principal agrl-
cultural states. the national weather
crop bulletin for the season of 1898 will
be discontinued with this ISSUE Until
the next crop season monthly bulletins
will be issued onIy
