Editor Times: Another dreadful accident
has occurred on the unprotected railway
tracks In the northeastern section of the
city. 1t is useless to say 'No-one is to
blame" There is criminal negligence
somewhere. and we demand that IL Re fas-
tened on the proper parties. Something
must be done to avoid such terrible acci-
dents in the future. What shall it be: Is
there no remedy TO prevent the coBst ant
recurrence Of such distressing casualties:
If by placing watchnlen at the crossings
or by erecting safety yates these accidents
may be avoided. IL is high time TIM some
such precautions be taken. The expense
would be trifling compared TO the damages
which wouid have tn he paid for the 1nss
of life and limb. to which dangers All
residents enntieua7B to the tracks are CON
stantly subjected.

III THE LOUNGER.

W IsiToRs to tropical countries" said
~ J. I. Duncan, an extensive Traveller,
whoisstopping at Niiiaru's, should
eat no fish down there without first as
ceriatning whether il is safe as well as
iaiatable. Poisonous fish are very pIcnti-
full in warm waters, ana have often isrn'
eaten by ignorant Fishermen with fatal IT,
suits. These fish are most abundant la tie
Brazilian ana " est Indian seas, but they
are also found III the East Indian and Aus
tra4lan waters. =
$50 far as know there are fiw Kinds
OF poisonous fish, three OF Tile n,ackerel
ana two of the herring tribe OF tic luacK-
erei species called The jurel is most
numerous. 1t can be distinguished froIn
ordinary rnacks rel, which frequent the same
waters, by certain marks. The Jurel has
no black spot on the gill covers, and it
has scales on The back While the harmless
kind has three black spots and no scales
on the lack. The poisonous variety grows
large and often weighs as high as twenty
pounds, but the others seldom run over
two pounds. For this reason Eackerel
weighing over two pounds arc not allowed
to lie sold In Havana.
The chicaro is another poisonous mack
erel, which s also found in the West Indies,
although II i 8 rot considered poisonous by
the natives. 1t is highly poisonous during
the spawning time, the people OF Guada-
Ioupe using its flesh to poison rats. But
at other tunes 1t is comparatively whole
some. The third variety is called the
bonito mackerel, and is very dangerous at
certain times OF the year. while at others it
issafe and palaiable. Eyenthe oldest fisher
men. however, do not always know the
periods when it should be left alone, and
every once in while some one is taken
with colo after eating OF bonito.
1.-TWO kinds of herring are also dangerous,
but the millett0 herring is the only one
which is found in the northern hemisphere.
This fish sometimes gets as far north as New
York. The most dangerous part OF it is
the roe, and know of several deaths which
have followed the eating OF it. II is most
frequently found in the Indian and Aus
tralian waters, and is very dangerous be-
cause not easily distinguished from another
variety which is perfectly harmless. The
only difference between the two is that TIE
poisonous fish has a black nose and a black
spot on the dorsal fin, while the other has
not these disting uishing marks. In other
respects 1t perfectly resembles tie harmless
variety. which has silvery scales and a
five to six inches.
1.-The strange thing about poisonous fish
is that most OF them are not harmful at all
times and places. but only in certain sea
sons and within certain bodies OF water"

can Forestry. THE people," said he, ARE
just beginning toawakent to realizing sense
OF the Importance of the forests in this conn
try and the necessity for action for their
preservation. When the country was dis
covered SO large a proportion Of the land
was covered with trees that the cutting OF
them was the principal work to be done In
advancing the line OF settlement from the
seaboaxd.
This process became so much a matter
OF habit that forests after forests have been
DESTROYED In all sect ons of the country and
now If no acton is taken our woodland
lids fair to disappear entirely. or late
years. however. the Inhabitants OF sew
eral States have begun to perceive the
folly Of tEis wholesale destruction policy.
and hare decided To amend the matter
through legislati on. Recklessness has al
most invariably been shown in cutting
down all the trees from great stretch OF
land. instead of so treating the forest that
another crop OF trees might be harvested
in the future. Forest fires have been an
other industri Gus instrument Of destruction.
for Il rule they have been allowed to
destroy. updisturbed, forest upon forest.
The result is that comm Onwealtfs which
have heretofore considered their woodland
inexhaustiblc are brou ght to see that pro-
lection for their forests is necessary.
Minnesota has been the first State to
propose organized action. 1t has long
been one OF the chief numbering districts,
but the sight OF immense tracts of land,
once covered with trees, has brought to
the citizens the knowledge that the State
is in danger of losing that distinction.
So the Minnesota State Forestry AsSo-
citation was formed for the arrest of this
iDdi scriminate destruction. 1t at once
went 10 work and formulated a Ilan which
will enable the s-.tc to acquire and pro-
tectforcst lands at trifiing expense TC~n.
county and State forestry boards are to
be constituted by the legisi ature. these
boards to have charge Of lands which have
been cut over and OF other lands not likely
TO be used for agricultural purposes. with
a view to planting them with trees and
carrying on numbering in future under
proper restrictions. The plan has been
hailed with applause by all of our farm
ers, and NO doubt will be followed by otter
States.
