Is, shad fishing on the Delaware is prac-

The season, financially. has been above
the average. The average catch of the
river nets was 1900, and the bay nets
as large as that of last year, the price
of shad averaged about one-half. Last
year the average price of shad in Phila-
was $40 for bay and sill for river shad.
The bay nets realized their owners from
$500 to $500 each. the river nets $500 to $500.
The river fishermen, however, cleared
more mone because their expenses were
less. The statesmen got two cents per
shad for selling the shad on the Dock
street wharf.

PAPER GABLES.
They Arc Said to BE Cheaper and Better
Insulated Than Rubber Ones.

They Arc Said to he Cheaper and Better
Insulated Than Rubber Ones.
For many purposes paper, next to
wire. is an excellent Insulation. and it
has of late come extensively into use in
telephone and other cables. But it is
not generally known that such an in
sulation has been tried under water.
This is, however, the fact, and one
such cable is now doing excellent work
at the bottom of the Hudson river, at
New York, right in the track of all the
domestic and sca-bound traffic. Of
course, the cable is lead-covered and
otherwise protected, but it depends for
its insulation, electrically, on thin
spirals of paper around each stranded
interior wire. The laying of such q
cable in such place might, few
years ago, have been considered little
short of suicidal, but experience has
demonstrated the perfect practicability
of the scheme.
In considering the laying of such
cables in such situations the fact is i'm
portant that one hundred pair, paper
insulated, lead-covered cable can be
bought for fifty cents foot, while the
rubber-insulated cable would probably
cost not less than three dollars per foot;
while figured on the basis of equal
electrical effectiveness, the price would
be fifty or hundred to one in favor of
the paper cablc-other considerations
LETT out. 1t will thus be seen that even
if it be admitted that the paper cable is
risky under water, its cheapness is such
that one can afford apparently to throw
it away when it has developed serious
defects and to put in new one.

The Bad Lands" said IIoratio Gar
rett, one of the most earnest rock del
yers of the party from Princeton col
lcge that recently visited the Bad
Lands of North Dakota and Montana
to collect fossils, 'arc strange com
bination Of desolation, horror and in
comprehensive freaks of the primcval
world. There are lofty peaks, bare
and brown-balscd into spires of burn
ing rock by the hot sun OF a million
years The valleys between are white
deserts, covered with the bitter, dusty.
binding allSali that has made all that
country Il desert worse than Sahara
ever was said to be.
THE rivers run white or turbid with
this alkaline concrction in winter, and
are dry and dusty channels in the sum
mer. The peaks, the valleys, and every
feature of the whole region, in fact,
seems to be thrown down upon the earth
in natures angricst mood--a hidcous
conglomeration, in which even the geo
logical strata are displaced and en-
tangled. This strange region was once
the salt-washcd bottom of sea. and
traces of the rcccding waves are visible
on every hand. The fossils, which were
now our main pursuit, are mostly auuat-
ic animals. Few birds, and those mostly
of the semircptilian character, arc
found among them, while innumcrable
bones of gigantic saurians dot the shalc
and sandstone of Che valleys Mingled
with them are remains of bear, ante
lopc and buffalo, and relics of an inter
mediatc age, the bones of the masto-
dons and clephants-not mammoths-
and of thrcc-toed equine, one of the
ancestors Of the horse.
Some of the saurians of the coccne
and miocenc periods were indcscriba-
bly, hidcous. Looking upon the re-
mains OF these monsters and gazing on
the awful scenery of the country-a
bit Of hades upturned to view, one
might SAYS itany wonder the Indians
stunned the Bad Lands and said they
were haunts of ghosts and the home OF
evil dcmons?"
