A scientist in the Dismal swamp.

II have just returned from a visit to
the Dismal Swamp" said DR.. A. K.
Fisher, ornithologist of the department
of agriculture, to Star writer.
1T Ia a strange region, full Of oddities
that are not to be found elsewhere, The
purpose of my expedition was to inves-
tigate the fauna Of the locality and of
rare mammals and birds secured quite
number. Snakes are abundant and
are alleged by the natives to be venom
Gus, but all that I saw were harmless.
When picked up a good sized one
from log and held him by the neck,
the negro who was padding for me
shuddered so that he nearly upset the
boat.
Il found about fifty species of birds
breeding in the swamp. One Of them
was Swainson's warbler, which Is very
rare. trapped several species of small
mice--rice mice, field mice, golden mice,
and iernming mice. The lemming
mouse is hard to catch, because it will
not take any sort Of bait; the only way
to capture it is to set a trap in its run
way. / set my traps in dry places
out of water Among other things l
got two rare shrews.
There are plenty of cattle in the
swamp-small, dark, and very wild
They are the progeny of animals that
have strayed from domestlcated herds.
Hunters stalk and shoot them like deer.
Sears are numerous. In the autumn
they feed greedily on the fruit of the
sour gum. Wildcats. oppossuns. and
raccoons are not scarce, while squirrels
are remarkably abundant. The SPUR
rels have discovered an easy way to
get living, by going along the shores
Of Lake Drummond and picking UP the
nuts and berries which have fallen into
the water and drifted in windows
They trot along the logs and fish them
out with their paws. Deer are COM
mon, but hard to get. In the fall hun
tiers run them into the lake and catch
them with dogs.
There is fine fishing in Lake Drum
mond, which contains plenty OF perch,
black bass, two kinds Of pickerel, three
species Of sunfish, and other panfish.
There is no dry ground in the swamp,
and one sinks at every step to his knees
in mud. The cane which forms brakes
all through the south Is abundant To-
gether with varied underground, it
is tangled with vines that run up into
the trees, so that half a mile an hour
Is a good rate OF progress One must
carry a knife to cut the vines, walking
being further inlpeded by the cat-brier,

ury. Her crop Of grapes this year will
be from 1900 to 5000 tons About,
5000 tons can be sold as grapes, and
the rest must be utilized In Wine maxi
ing or thrown away 1t Is estimated
that the product of wine and brandy
will be 100000 gallons, Mrs. Stanford
does not believe in making wine and
brandy to be drunk as a beverage and
win take pains to dispose Of her product
solely for medicinal purposes. This is
said to be entirely feasible and the
profit will be large. Pure French brandy
is q very scarce commodity and physi-
clans say that California brandy
guaranteed to be pure, is n great de-
slderatum. 1t is Mrs. Stanford's pur-
pose to make her brandy pure and to
have 1t marketed as pure, and it Is
quite likely that the Stanford article
will attain great reputation.
1t Is possible that some people will
hurt themselves by drinking, for medic
inal purposes, too much OF Mrs. STAN
ford's pure brandy. Many people will
be benefited by it. 1t will be very diff
cult to separate the money derived from
the sale of it into a clean and an I'M
clean pile. And If both the clean and
unclean money are used for a clean
purpose perhaps there win be no curse
on any Of il.

TIA II FRESH MIR FUND.

The Fresh Air Fund of the City mis-
sion is not as large as it should be. 1t
never has been large enough since it
was started, and perhaps 1t never will
be as large as 1t ought to be. But peo-
pie who want to do some of their I'M
fortunate brothers and sisters a good
turn can do 1t by adding to this fund,
which is one Of the best and most help
full things we have in our city. Those
who have contributed to this fund and
have seem how wisely and carefully
their money was used, and how much
pleasure and rest it gave those sadly
in need Of a little of both, have been
glad that their attention was called to
the fund and its very useful work.

Remenyi tells this story about List:
when he was seven years old he al
ready played like a grown up master
Bach's preludes and fugues. One day
his father Adam List, who was a
good all around musician, came home un-
expectedly and heard little List play
ing one Of Bacl's four part fugues, but
the fugue was written IN another key
than the one in which little LisZt was
then playing. The father was appalled,.
He knew too well that his son had no
intention whatever to transpose the in
Hensely polyphonic four-part fugue.
HE knew that 1t was being done I'M
consciously. He asked the boy why he
did not play 1t in the right key. The
little fellow was astonished and asked
If the fugue was not written in the key
NE was playing 1t in. No: it was writ
ten in E fat, and not in G. The mu-
stefan knows we'll what it means to
transpose OBLIGATED piece to anoth-
er key; bnt Tor a seven-year-old boy
to transpose a four-part fugue of Bach
to key a, third below!

THE SEAL QUESTION AGAIN.
1t Is Claimed That the Paris Rules KaTo
Resulted In Regular Slaughter.

The very first years trial of the Paris
restrictions seems to have resulted in an
appeal from the United States to other
nations to stop pelagic scaling in Boring
sea altogether next year. In proof of its
good faith our government, it is report
ed, would suspend its own seal killing
entirely on the Pribilof islands at
much loss of revenue, and perhaps at
the risk of having to indemnify the
lessees of the islands.
The fact is that our friends, tho Vic
toria sealers, overdid their business dur
ing the last season, and the new Paris
rules enabled them to oveTdo it. They
began with great outcry against the
rules, holding meeting and intimating
that their occupation was gone This,
however, was possibly intended for eff
feet on the British parliament But
when it had no effect they went to
work at the beginning of the season
with their customary energy, and the
result was that of breaking all records
in their year 8 catch. They took, ac-
cording to the published statements,
aDOub OOO ohlllS, L ilNoO lIDI
presumably a still larger number Of seals
slaughtered, though not quite SO largo
an excess as if firearms had been used.
Add the number taken by American
vessels as well as by the Russian and
japanese, and it will be seen that the
slaughter of the animals during the
year must have been enormous.
How large a proportion were secured
i'll Boring sea does not appear by the
statements thus far made public, but it
has been said that the Triumph, which
made the champion catch, surprising
in fact anything before known, obtained
more than two-thirds of her seals with
in the waters of Boring sea within
seven weeks, although those were not
open until Aug. l.
The result of the Investigations made
by Mr.. Hamlin of the treasury depart
ment confirms the views entertained by
our own navy officers in the patrol fleet
that the animals are fast diminishing,
and that the Paris rules are not check
years halt in pelagic sealing by all ma
tions is perhaps the best remedy for ex-
listing evils The next question is as to
how many nations will agree to this
proposal. 1t would be better if the re-
striction should apply to both sides of
the north Pacific, by the cooperation Of
Russia and Japan, but England's &C.
ceptance of the arrangement would
alone justify our government in carry

srract theory Of the amenities of war;
is preposterous. You strain every effort
to reduce your adversary to impotence
He falls wounded, whereupon, should
he come into your hands, you promptly
devote all your eXertions to saving his
life and restoring him to health and
vigor in order that he may go home and
swell the ranks of your enemy. This is
no doubt humanity, but it is supremacy
illogical.
Marriott recounts in his memoirs per-
haps the most absurd application ever
made of the theory of the amenities. :"
In the battle of Austerlitz body of
beaten Russians, about 5000 strong,
strove to escape across the ice ON the
Satschan lake. Napoleon ordered his ar
tillery to fire ON the ice, which was
shattered, and men and horses slowly
settled down into the depths, only few
escaping by means of poles and ropes
thrown out from shore by the French.
Next morning Napoleon, riding round
the positions, saw wounded Russian
officer clinging to an ice foe 100 yards
out and entreating help The emperor
became intensely interested in the sue
cor of the man. After many failures
Marriott and another officer stripped and
swan out, gradually brought the ice
foe toward the shore and laid the Rus
sian at Napoleon's feet.
The emperor evinced more delight at
this rescue than he bad manifested when
assured of the victory Of AusterGtz. He
had no oompunction as to tEo fate of
the unfortunates whom his artillery
practice of the day before had sent to
their death.

Why 1t Is.

You know, of course, that trolley cars
get the electricity by means of which
they run from an overhead wire,
through which strong current is al
ways passing. That current is powerful
enough to kill man instantly, and yet
we see the linemen ON their elevated
wooden platform handling the wi-e
with ungloved hands. Why is it that
they do not receive shock?
We were talking to one of the men
the other day about this, and he told us
that so long as the linemen stood on
their platform, which, you know, is
built up from the bed of IA wagon, they
would be safe from shock, but that if
they handled Give" wire while they
were touching the ground the result
would be fatal. In other words, their
platform insulates them and prevents
the making of circuit through their
body.
He said, moreover, that the platform,
to insure the safety of the men, should
be perfectly dry. If wet, it would prob
ably make a complete circuit, and the
men would get the shock. -Philadel-

Why is it that in most of the cities of
the world fashion makes its home in the
northwestern quarter? Why is it that
the ''west end" is so often the aristocrat-
ic section of the city and least side"
and ''south side" so often the residence
of the poorer classes? 1t is fact, and
there is ruling cause for it. Is it this
that the prevailing winds of the earth
are northwesterly? They are in general
northwesterly, and their tendency is to
blow the dust, smoke and odors Of a
city to its eastern or southern side. This
makes the opposite quarter the more de-
sirable for residence. - Philadelphia
