Success In Matching Sturgeon.

An important step in fish culture has
recently been made by the United States
commission of fisheries. Commissioner
Marshall Mcdonald will be able to dem
onstrate that the artificial culture of the
sturgeon is as practicable as that Of the
shad or trout. The sturgeon fishery pro-
duces a most important export in its
caviare. It is one of the most valuable
of the coast industries, and it's present
condition seems to warrant all the efforts
of scientific fish culture. In 1888 exper-
iments in the Matching of sturgeon were
carried on at Delaware City, Del, by the
commission, but they were SO little sue
cessful that until the present no further
efforts were deemed advisable.
The results that have just been at
tanned at the same locality by an assist
ant of the. commission, DR.. Bashford,
dean of Columbia college, New York,
seem, however, to be most important.
In his trial experiment he has employed
a floating Matching case of his own de-
sign and has succeeded in Matching sew
eral thousand young sturgeon. The
floating cases were filed with fertilized
eggs and moored in a strong, brackish
current. The eggs were Matched in "a
hours.-New York Times.

Keeping Still Half a Minute.

There was no sound except the faint
and regular tick of a watch. Otherwise
silence and gloom pervaded the elegantly
furnished drawing room.
In one chair sat a beautiful girl, her
lips tightly closed, her eyes staring
straight before her and her every mus
Gle tense with a powerful effort of self
control. In another sat a young man
whose face expressed seriousness but
confidence. In his hand he held an open
watch, which he observed closely, only
raising his eyes now and then to glance
at the beautiful girl, who seemed to be
in such agony. Five seconds, 10, Is, 20
seconds passed. The position of neither
the young man nor beautiful girl had
changed. Suddenly her eyes cleaned
with a wild light; her bosom heaved; she
clasped her hands convulsively.
Il must speak!" burst from her blood
less lips.
"Twenty-four seconds" said the young
man as he closed the watch and put it
back into his pocket. "You lose the
caramels by six seconds exactly"
He had bet on a sure thing, but she
wot not.-Truth.

A Great Salt Lake In Siberia.

The great salt lake at Obdorsk is 0
miles wide and II miles long, yet except
in a few places it is solidly rooted over
with a deposit of salt which is getting
thicker and thicker every year.
Our guide, who is an old man, said
that he could remember when the salt
crystals first began to gather upon the
surface of the water. Year by year,
owing to the evaporation of the water,
the crystals became nor numerous and
then caked together till this great root
formed.
In 1873 the water beneath this salt
crystal roof found an underground out.
let into the River Obi. This lowered the
lakes surface about three feet, leaving
that distance between the water and the
roof.
Looking down through one of the
openings made for the purpose in the
roof, we saw a low sided small boat.
Our guide put us n at a time into the
boat. We lay flat on our back and
looked up at the ~curiously beautiful salt
ceiling overhead. Wepropelled the boat
by pushing with our hands against the
irregularities Of the roof.
The guide held a long rope attached to
the boat to prevent our going too far and
getting lost-a thing he said it was easy
to do.
Many springs surround this lake.
Their water flows over the roof and
evaporates there, and thus continually
adds to its thickness. After many years
the springs will probably become choked
with their own deposits, and then the
whole will gradually become covered
with earth, and so a great salt mine will
be formed-a treasure for the Siberians
hundreds of years to come.-Cor. Geo.
graphical Magazine.
