How a Fish Comes to the Surface.
A curious physiological discovery has
been made by Prof. Bohr Of Copenha-
gen in regard to the mode of storage
by which a fish accumulates 50 much
oxygen in the air that distends the
swimming II air bladder.
The air contained therein has a per-
centage of oXyg n that may rise t. as
much as 50, an amount much in excess
of the percentage in atmospheric air.
Prof. B0hr tapped the air bladders of
Goldfish and drew off the gas by means
OF a trOcar and alright syringe. The
gas had so per cen of oxygen. In a
few hours the air bladder was refilled,
apparently by a process of secretion of
gas from the blood in the capillaries
OH the wall of the bladder, In one eX-
pertinent the gas thus sccreted haA 81
per cent of oxygen. When the nprv, S
connected with the organ We're severed
the secretion ceased and the organ was
not retilled.
1t thus appears that when a fish d :
sends to a great depth, and his body
Is reduced in size by increased pressura
attain his former size by Secreting the
gas he needs. and not by abso bling t
from the water. Support is thus given
to the theory that the gaseous X
changes that occur in the lungs of ami
mails are not purely physical.-Balti-

Lillian RusseIl's Youth.

Lillian Russell is always the talk of
the town when she m here. Her
engagement this time was no excep-
ton. Here are some bits about her
which may be new to the new genera
ton:
She was a pupil of the Sacred Heart
Convent of this city for nine years,
and it was there she learned French
and German.
She sang in "Pinafore," In f. E.
Rice's company when she was seven
teen years old, when she married and
retired.
One day she was singing In a parlor
in a house where Tony Pastor called.
He asked who she was, and afterwards
met her. He engaged her at a salary
Of $50 a week to sing ballads-"The
Kerry Dance" and '~Twickenham Fer
ry'' were two Of her most popular
songs. She received several offers
while she was with Pastor, but refus-
ed them until her contract with Tony
Pastor was fulfilled.-Chicago Tribune.

DIG GAME IN COLORADO.
An Entfcing Glimpse of Mountain
Lion and DSer Hunting In the
Nnrvun

An Enticing Glimpse of Mountain
LION and DSer Hunting In the
Northwest.
A Boston business man has lately re-
ceived from a friend who went West
not long ago, and is now located at
Colorado Springs, an interesting &C
count of big game hunting in the
Northwest, says the Boston Herald.
The following extract from his letter
will stir the enthusiasm of hunters of
milder and less plentiful game in this
section:
Il was very glad to hear that your
trip in Maine was a success. The game
must be increasing If you saw so many
deer in so short Il trip. and | mag ne
it must be due to the vigorous enforce
ment of the game laws of the state.
AT present | am OH a hunting trip
in Northwestern Colorado, betweel
White and Bear rivers. just west of
the continental divide. We are in the
winter range of the deer-a little too
low for elk-and to give you an idea of
how plentiful they are it will be

tain lion hunting. / counted on each
day, respectively, POI, 1871 and 124 deer
within good gun shot. Thus far / have
hunted deer for five days. perhaps
three hours a day. and have killed nine.
1T takes about three or four deer a
week to feed the dogs, not to mention
what we eat ourselves.
"MOst of our time is devoted to hunt
ing lions and in two weeks we have
killed four, the largest of which was
seven feet FIVE inches long. and meas
ured thirteed inches around the fore
arm.
What with the Utes, the lions and
the hunters, it a. a wonder that the
deer are not being tbinned out, but tn y
are quite as plentiful as ever.
THE Utes hunt about ten miles to the
west of us, and each brave kills an a
erage of eight to ten deer a day. merely
to sell the hides at so cents a piece.
The settlers and the cowmen raid their
camp and stampede their ponies about
twice every season and drive them
back into their reservation in Utah. but
they come back again each succeeding
| year. buying unauthorized permits from
their agents.
There is talk among the cattlemen
of driving them out with arms, and fol-
good, but whether they will carry this
threat into effect will be more or less
decided by the decision pending in the
courts concerning the Utes in Utah.

Bruno Mountains. Then the valley opens
out on the bay and the plain that skirts
the bay shore southwark. Colma lies in
the pathway of nearly all the travel and
traffic between the city and the rest of the
peninsula. The town looks on ocean and
bay, and its pretty and convenient location
is rapidly increasing its population.
At the base of the San Bruno Mountains,
mile away, a great number of white
gravestones cluster. AT the base of the
low Santa Moreno hills, little south of
the town, the vegetable gardens begin.
The 1900 acres of vegetables roll clear to
the summit of the range. Just beyond the
vegetables begin again and are strung
clear down the San Pedro Valley.
They are Italians who do all this garden
ing. Two or dozen club together and
lease ten to sixty acres at $40 an acre and
work and live on communistic plan.
Macaroni is plenty in the frugal little
homes, and they haul home in their
empty wagons from the city quantities OF
cheap grapes in season and make their
own wine.
About thirty great wagons carrying two
or three tons of vegetables come into
Colma daily. From the San Pedro Valley
six horses are used to Colma and most of
the big wagons reach the city market in
the small hours of the morning and in
crease the babel there before day break.
But Colma feeds Chicago and Kansas

people eat their vegetables with much
knowledge of where they come from. To
see vegetables, carload after carload OF
them, one four-horse wagon after another
creaking under tons of them and hundreds
of acres of rolling hillsides presenting a
vegetable mosaic, one must go to Colma.
This little suburb of San Francisco, a
little south of the county line, is the center
of the city's chief vegetable supply. The
village lies mile or more from the ocean,
nesting in valley two miles wide, which
runs from the beach at Lake MERGED

Santa Moreno Mountains and the San

Stanford Heights and Sunnyside avenues
are broad streets, and the semicircle men,
toned will avoid an undesirable grade.
If Mayor Sutro's offer some two years
ago to give the city way through his land
shall be accepted along this proposed
boulevard that will leave only about mile
and half of the entire five miles which
the survey will measure to be built through
the property owned by individuals at each
end of the line.
As to scenic attractions and directness OF
connection of Golden Gate Park with the
terminus of the proposed San Jose boule-
ward there can be no question as to the
superiority of this or similar route. In
fact if this proposition shall be accepted
there will be no more beautiful driveway
in the city, not excepting the Preside.
The views along this route are of the
most varied. Shortly after leaving the
park an elevation is reached that gives an
extended view of the entire park, Cliff
House and the ocean beach on one side and
part of the city on the other. Further
along the driveway is secluded in series
of little rayines and dells as it runs through
the Almshouse tract. Thence, passing
through Stanford Heights avenue, a view
of the Golden Gate, the ocean and the San
Mateo hills on one side and the whole
sweep of Oakland, Alameda and Berkeley
is given.
The next section is similar in its seclu-
sion to the Almshouse road. Reaching a
point little northeast of the proposed new

cabbages, turnips, etc., are shipped east
from Colma monthly. Cheaper transport
tation to Eastern markets would boom the
Colma We getable business.
The father of the Colma vegetable bust
ness is r. G. Thornton, a large land
holder who for many years has leased to
the gardeners their land. Mr.. Thornton
is one of Colma's Oldest and most enter
prising citizens, and he has lived there
since 1852. He is now especially active in
the plan to build the big boulevard which
would vastly increase public acquaintance
with the place and help. its progress.
The better highway right down the coast
from San Francisco to Halfmoon Bay,
which the future will bring, will place
Colma on the main route of travel in that
direction too, and the place will grow with
San Francisco. Jacob Bryan of Colma,
one OF the County Supervisors, has recently
been doing much to improve the roads
near Colma. The town has a number of
pretty houses and last year showed its en-
terprise by issuing bonds for $4,000 and
putting up fine school building.
