GOVERNOR HOLCOMB IN SYMPATHY
He believes Recognition Should BE
Granted Cuban Insurgents.

Omaha, Dec. PA special to the Bee
from Lincoln. Neb., says:
At a largely attended mass meeting to-
night to express sympathy for Cuba,
a lengthy statement from Governor Hol-
comb was read. Among other strong
statements he says:
4 believe the recognition Of the Gu
bans as beligerents has been already
deserved. The charge has been seriously
made that these Cubans are blacks, but
| apprehend that the spirit of liberty
can find as secure a resting place in the
breast of a black man as the white. The
heroic and determined efforts Of the pa
triotc Cubans have dispelled all doubts
as to their capacity for elf-government.
AS the strongest nation on the western
continent and the first government. the
people of the United States should ne
q jealous guardian of liberty on Amerl-
can soil. | hope that our representa-
tives at Washington see their way clear
to grant the people of Cuba substantial
aid -

IN SALMON INVESTIGATIONS.
Fish Commission Tells the East
About the Chinook Salmon.

Washington, Dec. 22.-The report on
salmon Investigations conducted by the
United States fish commission in the head
waters of the Columbia river in Idaho
has been completed and published. The
inquiry was begun July 20 of last year,
and both the large and small fish had
reached til Idaho lakes then. The inn
portant results of the investigation are
summed up as follows:
1t is probable both the large and small
forms of red fish are anadromous. though
the evidence that the smaller comes from
the sea is not complete The mutilations,
sores, fraying out of fins, etc, are prac-
tically RECEIVED subsequent to reaching
the spawning grounds. The red fish all
die soon after spawning.
The young red fish remain in the lakes
and connecting water at least one year
after the eggs spawned. The Chinook
salmon which come to these waters die
after spawning. The young Chinook
salmon appear to remain for about one
year after the eggs are laid near where
they are hatched.

to tho Canning and Cooking.
Toward the end of April the sardine
fishermen along the coast of Brittany
begin to watch for the bubbling of the
sardines on the surface Of the sea- For
they know that vast shoals of the little
fish are on their WY from the coast Of
Africa up through the bay of Biscay to
the north, and tbs. they must be caught,
II at all, as they pass When any one
sees the water agitated, word spreads
rapidly and the boats put out from the
shore and race to the shoal
When the net is extended, the water
is "baited' by throwing balls Of
''roque" into it. AS the bait dissolves
and sinks the sardines rise and remain
long after to nibble it, and their doom

Within the curing factories or cam

Of blazing oil wicks. The sardines are
spread out on benches Or tables, where
salt is busted over them. Then the

The little fiat boxes so well known
to commerce are taken one by one and
flled from the glistening pile of fish,
after which pure olive oil from the
province Of Bari, in Italy, is poured

In the meantime great caldron Of

The Work Of the Heart,

One of the most remarkable thinga
about the heart is the amount of work
IL does. Considering the organ as a
pump whose task is to deliver known
quantity Of blood against a known
''head," It Is easy to show that in "a
hours mans heart does about 1874 foot
tons of work. I'm other words" says q
contemporary. "if the whole force ex.
pended by tho heart in "a hours were
gathered into one hinge stroke, such a
power would lift l24 tons one foot from
the ground. A similar calculation has
been made respecting the amount OF
work expended by the muscles involved
In breathing. In "a hours these muscles
do about 81 foot tons of work -

A Remarkable Toad.

In Surinam there is a remarkable
toadlike creature, the female of which
carries the young in series Of cells in
she thick skin Of the back, which as
sumes q strange honeycomblike appear
ance. When this lady toad is carrying
her nursery about with her, she is a
very repulsive looking object Single
handed she would be quite unable to
cope with the important question Of
placing eggs where they will be most
favorably disposed for Matching, and for
this she has to rely on the good services
Of her mate. Soon after the eggs are
laid they are taken up by the male and
pressed, one by one, into the cells in the
thickened skin Of his partners back.
There they grow until they fit closely
to the hexagonal form Of their prisons,
each of which is closed above by kind
Of trapdoor.

Immersion and Isolation Advised.

Air, water, milk, butter, oyster, mus.

are all especially capable Of conveying
infection. Cabs, cats, dogs, cushions in
railway carriages, shaving at hairdress-
ers'. clothes from the tailor's, washing
from the laundry, change, bank notes.
books from Libraries, forks and glasses
at restaurants and mud upon boots and
dresses are other mediums for the dis.
tribution of disease. This list is very
imperfect. Civilized man, then, may
only expect to live an average term Of
life by continuous immersion in boiling
water, accompanied by absolute isola-
tion. Beyond that, whatever he eats,
drinks, wears or touches should be boil.
