Night fishing for trout mas suddenly
become the rage, and hereafter many
anglers may be found beside the brook
enjoying the nocturnal pastime. The
theory advanced by experts is that the
speckled beauties wander from their
fireside more safely and successfully for
food in the night time. 1t is very plaus-
ible that in securing its victims the
trout moves about with more freedom
in the darkness. Hence II should pay

THE cHocHINEAL CROP.
Insect a Singular Little Creature vita
carmine Bodily Juices

carmine Bodily Juices
The cochineal insect is a fat, dark,
spherical little creature, looking like a
black currant, and with neither head,
legs nor tail TO the casual observer. In
fact, he is SO inanimate that anyone
may squash him between finger and
thumb without any qualms of con-
science. He is nothing but black cur
rant, sure enough, though the bright
carmine or lake exusion from his body,
which serves him for blood and US for
dye, is a better color than the juice Of
the currant. II was the cultivation Of
these pleasant little individuals which,
more than score Of years ago, put no
less than 40 per cent per annum upon
investments into the pockets Of the Gull
tivators. Such prosperity was too good
to last. The insect was not introduced
into Teneriffe until 1925, and for a time
It could not be encouraged to propa-
gate successfully. A priest had The
honor Of being the dlscoverer Of the
right method Of nurture, and to him
1t is due that from 1845 TO 1865 an an
nual crop Of from two to six million
pounds Of cochineal was produced. A
cochineal plantation has a singular
aspect. The larvae, being very deli
cate and rather thick-witted, have to
be tied upon the cactus plant, which is
to be their nursery and their nourish-
ment at the same time. Thus one sees
hundreds Of the shoots Of the prickly
pear-the cactus in question-all ban
daged with white linen. In this way
the insects keep warm and dry during
the winter and induced to adhere to
the plant itself When they are full
grown they are ruthlessly swept from
their priekly quarters, shaken or baked
to death or dried in the sun. The
shriveled corpses are then packed in
bags and sold as ripe merchandise at
about s25 hundrsdweight.

PRINCIPLES OF DYElNo.
Interesting Observations Recently Set
Forth by DR.. Knecht.

Interesting Observations Recently set
Forth by Or. Knecht.
The textile organs give place to DR..
Knecht's observations on the philoso-
ply and principles of dyeing, as re-
Gently set forth, emphasis being made
on the well-known fact that various
color solutions rise with a different
speed and to a different height through
the medium of inserted strips Of filter
paper, the difference being. In fact, SO
marked that system Of analysis has
been built upon it. So, it is reasoned,
drop Of aqueous solution spreads on
a sheet of filter paper, forming a blotch
surrounded by colorless halo; the lat
ter, surrounding a dot of magenta, be-
ing found to contain about half Of the
total hydrochloric acid present in the
dyestuff, the fact of a chemical disso-
citation thus being evident. This disso-
citation, according TO DR.. Knecht, is be-
forehand attributed to the chemical ac-
ton Of the cellulose, and in iuxtaposi-
ton is placed the well-known fact that
a solution of tannic acid and magenta
may be mixed without precipitation,
while tannin-mordanted cotton in the
same bath will be at once charged with
a color lake; further, as the phenome-
non with the colorless halo does not
take place with alcoholic nor concen-
trated aqueous color solutions. the
water is supposed to actually dissoci-
ate dye haze and mineral acid, but the
presence of cellulose is required to up
set the equilibrium that existed up to
then.

BROOKLYN'S STREET RAILWAY.
Big Mass Meeting Held to Discuss Mu-
nicipal Ownership.

New York, March 3.-The Criterion
theater, Brooklyn, was filled by a
meeting held under the auspices of the
Social Reform club to discuss Assem-
blyman Conklin's bill, which provides
for the submission of the ownership of
the street railways to the voters of
New York, Brooklyn and Buffalo.
Ernest H. Crosby presided, and in his
speech he said he thought some plan
might be adopted by which street rail
way franchises could be bought in in
stallments of $500, 900 to $1,000. 900 a
year. Registrar of Arrears Hinrich de-
scribed the successful operation of
street railways by the municipality in
Glasgow, Manchester and Birming-
ham. One-half the surface street rail
ways of England We're owned and OPP
Grated by the cities, he asserted. 1t
was not merely a theory they were
discussing; lit was a successfully &C
cOmplished fact. Father Thomas J..
Ducey said there was no reason why
the great earnings of railroad cor
pOratiOns should not go into the treas
ury of the city, state or nation. Adj
dresses were made also by Thomas G.
Shearman and Edward King. DR.. Ly-
man Abbott, in a letter, declared him
self as heartily Gin favor of the fund
amental principle involved" Resolu-
lions were adopted calling on the peo-
Pile to make this an issue in the next
election.
