BIG FISH IN THE HUDSON.
Results of the Work of the Federal Fish
 Commission.

Results of the Work of the Federal Fish
 Commission.
 For number of years the United States fish commission, cooperating with the New York commission, has been engaged in stocking the Hudson and it's tributaries with salmon fry. This river, though never a salmon river, seemed to present the natural conditions for the establishment of the species.
 There are, however, according to the Washington Star, on both the main river and the tributaries, natural Instructions which would prevent the ascent of salmon to the spawning grounds, at the sources of the stream. It was, therefore, determined to test possibilities in this direction by con- tinuing to hatch out and plant the fry in the headquarters, in the expecta- tion that they would go to sea and on their return show themselves at the different Instructions in the river.
 Several hundred thousand fry have been planted in the river each season for some years past; and two years ago ten thousand yearling fish from the Maine station were also planted in the river below the Troy dam. Though no salmon fishery is prosecuted in the river, and no salmon were taken only incidentally in the shad nets, recent reports from E. G. Blackford, of New York, indicate the taking during the present season of more than eight hun dred salmon, varying from ten to twen- ty-five pounds in weight.
 With proper protection in reference to the fishing, and with provision made to permit the salmon to reach the head waters of the river. there is now no reason to doubt that the Hudson will become as important stream in this respect as is the Penob scot in Maine.

PYTHON EGGS.
A Big Snake fin Connecticut Lays Half a
 BusheI of Eggs.


 Perhaps about as curious thing as Dr. Knox ever had in the line of GU. riosities, says the Danbury Conn. News, is his African python snake Eve, as she lies coiled about a half. bushel of eggs laid a few days ago. It is an event that ophiologists will be interested in.
 The discovery was made one morn ing. For some time Adam and Eve, two big African pythons, have been domiciled in the big snake cage in the doctors back office. The bottom of the cage is covered by deep layer of dirt and gravel. Both these snakes have been in Dr. Knox's possession a year, and have sometimes been on ex- hibition.
 One evening Dr. Knox passed the cage several times, going to and from his front office. Every time he passed the cage the python snake missed at him. He paid no attention to the snake, and was more amused than otherwise at the incident. Later in the evening he locked up his office and drove over to Brewster, where his fam fly is now stopping. When the doctor opened his office the next day the first thing he remembers doing was to examine his snake collection. He looked in the cage and saw what he supposed were several new potatoes lying under the python snake, Eve. He opened the cage to remove them. Going close to the snake, it hissed at him. This made him pause. Then he took a second look and was surprised to see about one hundred snake eggs under her.
 Two of the eggs are on the writer's desk as samples. They vary in size and are rather heavy. They are soft to the touch, oval in form, and ashy gray color. The smaller of the eggs is the size and shape of ducks. The larger one is no thicker, but about six inches long. They were slightly speclzled. It is said that the shell will become hard.
 Perhaps snake laying eggs in cap- tivity is not unusual, but the only case called to the writer's attention was when python did a similar thing at the Paris geological garden in 1S44. This serpent laid three dozen eggs. She brooded on her eggs and matched young ones. She deposited her eggs on the 5th of May, and the first young one made its appearance on the 2d of July.
 Whether Dr. Knoxs collection of pvthonS will be augmented or not by the eggs is matter to be seen.

PLANT LIFE IN CALIFORNIA.
The Paradise of the Hybridizer and Nur
 seryman.


 seryman.
 California has become the paradise of the rosarian, the seed-grower, the hybridizer and the nurseryman. The wild grape is used as stock for wine and raising grapes and in some cases that I know of men have grafted Italian chesnuts upon one species of the native oaks, says writer in the Century. All the hillsides of the tree region, when not too steep to blow nor too far above the sea level, will grow the fruits and varied horticultural products of Spain, Portugal, Italy and southern France. The pomegranate is a garden shrub in many districts and the almond is roadside tree. The dropping, acacia-like leaves of the scarlet-fruited pepper tree grow with magnolias, palms and cedars of Leb- anon. Oranges and lemons stand in many an orchard with apples and peaches. Among the notable plants of the state are many adopted species, such as the acacias and eucalyptuses of Australia and the bamboos and per simmons of Japan.
 When Americans came to California they were surprised at the variations that they observed in familiar plants. The elderberry, which is only slightly different from the elderberry bush of the Atlantic slope, often becomes a tree of from two to four feet in diam eter and thirty or forty feet high. This is merely matter of local en- vironment, rich soil and shelter; the same species is mere shrub on the rocky hillsides of the coast range. The bronze-leaved ricinus, which makes a semi-tropic summer garden in front of many an Atlantic coast cot tage, grows for year after year in Cali fornia, until a section of it's stem foot and half in diameter can be ob- tained by any collector of vegetable curiosities. Geraniums, nasturtiums, tomatoes and many other plants, use ful and otherwise, escape from cultiva- tion, modify their habits of growth and soon become wild again. Many plants of Mexico, Peru, Chilli, the Hawaiian islands, Australia, New Zealand, SJEdh Africa and the Mediterranean si-ores have already become dangerous weeds. The loquat, a choice fruit of Japan, is already growing wild in some canyons where picnic parties have left the seeds. Apricots, peaches, cherries and English walnuts have been found in the forests-chance seedlings, growing with the madronas and manzanitas.

Gold iu Africa.

An experimental boring $500 feet deep was recently made in the Wit watersrand gold field of South Africa, with a view of testing the lie of the auriferous deposits. The result was of the most satisfactory character, and the strike" has led to calculations of the hidden wealth of these fields, and possibly the following by Mr. Scott Alexander may be interesting as show ing the rich possibilities of the future: Circumference of basin, 400 miles; di- ameter, 127 miles; area, 12,5S0 square miles, or S60, 0,7i0, ,272, 900 square feet. Taking average thickness of eight series of blanket beds at feet (equal to 4S feet), equals 16,S34, ,093, ,O56, ,OO0 cubic feet of reef or at 15 cubic feet to the ton, 1O,521, 43S, 160, ,0O0 tons. At 30 shillings per ton tvery low) value of gold equal to e1,57S, 196, ,224, 900, or one billion five hundred and seventy-eight thousand one hundred and ninety-six millions, two hundred and twenty-four thousand pounds sterling. Taking the population of Witwatersrand at 10000 souls, this allows each e39, ,454, ,095 12s. 6d.

A LESSON FROM LIFE.
4 Magnetized Cane Used by a Frugal old
 Man of Pittsburgh.

Man of Pittsburgh.
 Sometimes the simple action of man will indicate his character. One of Pittsburgh's wealthiest old gentlemen, according to the Dispatch, was seen walking along the street the other day pointing his cane upon some object upon the pavement every now and then. What caught on" he raised and placed in his hand. He was col lecting tiny nails that had fallen from merchandise boxes. He continued un- til he had gotten handful. Then, picking up piece of paper from the the pavement, he wrapped up the nails carefully and pocllcted the package. A bystander asked him what sort of a cane he had. ''0h," he said, it s noth- ing but steel rod covered with leather" Ut must be magnetized, fer it attracts nails and saves you from stooping." Not that know of, un- less the placing of leather over the steel has done it, he replied. Il saw you picking up some nails short time ago. ''Yes," interrupted the old man, Il need some of them" Then looking downward, he exclaimed: There's one missedr' and picked it up with his magnetic servant. Taking the package of nails from his pocket he placed this last in with the rest. A an instance of frugality this incident is interesting, and as a key to the mans success in life 1t is perhaps likewise.
