Drowning Fish.l

Fish in streams and rivers are some
times drowned, according - to 1.-The
Brooklyn Eagle. Strange as the idea
of drowned fish may be, when
stream is suddenly swollen with water
that has fallen upon and drained from
surrounding soil that has been ex-
posed for some time previously to the
suns rays, the water is warmed and
deprived of its power of holding q
proper complement Of oxygen, the WV
flying gas in consequence escapes, and
the fish deprived of the aids necessary
for respiration, faint and die, as they
would if placed in. s.tepid water "A
fell, like a man, requires perpetual
supply of oxygen to his breathing ap-
paratus. A fish gets its oxygen from
the water, q man from 'the almost
plIrre around him. Reverse the posi-
tium of the two and the fish becomes
what is called drowned in the open
air, while man is drowned in water.
A fish taken out of water dies from
drowning, because the little blood
containing fillaments which comprise
the gills become stuck together and of
course, cannot act so as to oxygenate
the blood. Fishermen sometimes
drown fish in the water. Immedi-
ately a fish is hooked, he begins rush
ing about in a state of alarm, and thus
every minute takes more and mort out
Of himself, until at last he begins to
get tired and to flag. The fisherman
gently pulls the fish's head to the sur
face of the stream, between wind and
water. The creature grows more and
more faint as it's head is elevated out
of the water. and he at last becomes ali
easy prey. Sea fishermen are very
familiar with the phenomenon referred
to above. Many species of marine fish
have swim bladders or "sound" as they
are called by fishermen. When the
fish are weakened by their struggles
on hook they are not able to control
the air taken in, the consequence be-
ing that their stomachs are turned in
side out and inflated with air; the
poke-blown" fish rises to the surface,
where, even If it escapes the hook, il
remains buoyed up, seldom having
strength enough to recover and return
ts distended stomach to its normal
position. All of the cod family are
somewhat noted for this, but the cusk,
Brosmius brosme, is most remarkable.
When cusk is taken in so or 80
fathoms it almost invariably comes
up" poKe-blown," while it's eyes are
generally almost bursting with air
bubbles, which also fill the thin outer
membrane of skin. A long and inter.
estingssarticle could be written on this
subject.

More than one-half of all the oil OF
peppermint, spearmint and tansy used
in the world is said to be procured in
and distilled in Michigan. The GEN.
tire of the industry is st. Joseph coun-
ty. Peppermint plants to the weight
of $1,000 tons when dried are cult
waited every year in the State. From
these the essential oils are distilled.
Early in the spring the roots are
planted in burrows from two to three
feet apart. A few weeks later the
rows meet and cover the entire ground.
In September the plants mature.
They are then covered with fragrant
purple blossoms and the time has ar
rived for moving. After lying In the
sun to dry they are raked into heaps
and taken to the distilleries, of which
there are about $50 in the State. 1t is
estimated that $50 pounds of dried
peppermint plants produce one pound
of oil. The yield per acre is Is pounds
of oil. Distilled peppermint brings
from $1.25 10 $5 per pound in the
home market.

Queer Facts About Money.

There are 1l9,9OO,oOO old copper
pennies somewhere. Nobody knows
what has become of them, except that
once in q while q single specimen
turns up in change. A few years ago
100000 bronze two-cent pieces
were set afoat. Three million of
these are still outstanding. Three
million three-cent nickle pieces are
scattered over the United States, but
it is very rarely that one seen. OF
SOC, 900 half-cents, which correspond
in value to English. gatherings, not one
has been returned to the Government
for recoinage, or is held by the Treas
ury. Congress appropriates from
100000 to $4,000 yearly for recoin-
ing the uncurrent silver coins now in
possession of the Treasury. These are
mostly half dollars, and are not circu-
lated because there is no demand for
them, Not long ago the stock OF
them amounted to $26,O00,000, but il
is only about half that now. The
money set aside for recoining is not
intended to pay for the cost of the
minting, but is required to reimburse
the treasury of the United States on
account of the loss in weight which
the silver pieces have suffered by
abrasion. This loss amounts to $50
on every $1,000, and it has to be made
good in order to set the treasurer's
account straight.--Boston Ira nscript.

Future Of the sheep Business.

The future of the sheep business Ia
this country depends somewhat on
creating an appetite and a market for
mutton; and this must be done by
supplying the people with the bes:
that can be produced and teaching
the marketmen to handle II so that the
fat will not he exposed to the sun and
wind and made as rank as whale oil
before 1t Is sent to the kitchen. There
are many people who declare that
they do not like mutton, who cannot
tell why, but the probability Is that
they never saw any good mutton that
was properly handled from first to
last. 1t is well enough to seek for q
general purpose sheep, and people
who relish mutton find no fault with
the flesh of any of the so-called NUT
ton breeds if properly handled. But
to create an appetite with people who
are already prejudiced, it would be
necessary to make careful selection
and breed and feed entirely for flesh,
and take what wool was produced as
q by-product. We must have the
best that can be produced--something
better than they have ever seen--to
induce prejudiced people to try q
thing which they have discarded.
Then when mutton is az generally
used here as 1t is in England, good
mutton will get u market and the
wool may be again considered.--Ex.
