DOES FREEZING KILL FIsHEsq
Result of Practical Test of This Inter-
esting Question.

esting Question.
A number of live perch were secured
and placed in water at the ice manu-
factory, says the New Haven Register,
and the water was put in tho process
of crystallization. 1t requires about
sixty hours to freeze cake of ice, and
during this time the fish were watched
to ascertain the effect of the intense
cold which surrounded them. They
kept alive and continued to swim in
the water until their confines were SO
narrowed that they had no space in
which to move. The ice in its freezing
process begins at the outside and
freezes toward the center, so the space
in which the fish had their liberty was
gradually narrowed down until the
fish were encased and the water around
them froze, pinioning them tightly in
it's folds.
Each fish when the cake was com
pleted was as natural as life, its fins
and tail being spread as they were
while in the act of swimming. The
cake of ice containing the fish was
placed on exhibition, and numerous
bets invc ing several hundred dollars
were made as to the outcome of the
experiment The cake was left intact
for day or so and then cut open and
the fish taken out and placed in water,
They were left for some time, and of
the five fishes which were originally

Washed Out the Ink.

The most precious document in the
possession of the nation--namely: the
Declaration Of independence - has
faded to such an extent as to be all
most undecipherable, writes a Wash
ington correspondent. This misfortune
is not due to the age of the writing,
but to process which it underwent in
making of fac simile of it when John
Adams was secretary of state. In
order to hthograph it it was wetted,
and the historic manuscript was near
ly ruined in the performance. Nearly
all of the signatures have wholly van,
ished, while the body of the text is in
great part illegible. When Frcling>
huysen was secretary of state that de-
partment submitted the question of res
storing the Declaration to scholars and
chemists Many persons volunteered
to do the work, but it was thought
best not to attempt it. On the other
hand, the rough draft OF the same doc-
ument, made previously, is as good rs

ten being perfectly black,

An American Who Was Mistaken for q
German In Paris.
A Boston lawyer. recalling some in
cidents of travel 'on the other side"
twenty years ago, says that he may
have owed his life to police surveillance
in France, according to the New York
Sun. Said he: st was in Paris, just
after the outbreak Of the Franco-Prus-
sian war, when Paris was most un-
healthy place for German to be in. I
then wore yellow mustache, and, my
eyes being blue and my complexion
fresh, presume that was taken for
German, and possibly for spy, for one
day on the street a group of soldiers saw
me, and, after short discussion, they
came after me on a run. My French
was pretty queer, l imagine, in those
days, and | could not make them under
stand what was trying to tell them.
They were armed and determined, and
were hustling me on at a lively pace,
somewhere, that might have proved
very unhealthy place for me. Just as I
had almost given up hope couple of
gendarmes appeared, and hailed them.

been well founded, but the trouble is Il

lures them for nearly all the nations

long experience and perfected mach!n-
cry can turn them out by the millions
without the slightest difficulty or de-

as Il measure of economy. The bureau

intruSted with the work, had only three
months for preparation. During that

genius of the bureau had to be directed
to the construction of apparatus to do
the work of patented machinery that
was controlled by private corporations
and could not be used. Then. when the

agreeing that the price of flour was be-

some concerted action by the trade was
necessary to bring up the price to a
profit point. The reduction of stocks
was regarded us the best method
tending to an increase in the price. An

down mills for six weeks, within three
months beginning Dec. 10. The agree
ment will be in force when mills repre-
