OCEAN SIGNAL STATION.
One VIII BE Established by the Govern
ment on Nantucket ShoaI.

A maritime signal station is to be es-
tablished by the government off Nan
tucket shoal, 40 miles out in the Allan
tic ocean, in the lane of travel by vessels
bound from Europe for New York. With
its establishment the station at Fire is
land will probably cease to be impor-
tant as the first point on the American
coast sighted by shipping bound to New
York from the east, from which the
agents in New York first hear from
their vessels.
The station has long been considered
practicable, but the cost of a cable and
doubt as to the part the government
should play in the enterprise have pre-
vented decisive action heretofore Or
ders have been issued by the treasury
department directing the transfer of
the Nantucket south shoal ship to
point ten miles farther out, where the
waves run smoother and the bottom af-
fords better holding ground. -Philadel-

A PECULIAR BUSINESS.
Breedteg and Catching Leeches For the
New York Market.

Breedteg and Catching Leeches For the
New York Market.
James Partit and his children earn
all the money they make raising leech-
es, for the work Of breeding the blood
suckers on the Partit farm on Toms
river, near Lacy, N. j., is nothing COM
pared with the labor of catching them.
The wary leech will take hold of nothing
but human flesh, so the members of the
Partit family, big and little, plunge
their legs into the swamp ard draw
them up presently with the prey at
tached.
Farmer Partit doesn't seem to think
a little blood letting hurts one.
"They are as good as dose Of spring
physic," says he. "Why, me and the
boys get so fat and healthy doing nothing
all winter that we need something like
this to keep us in order. If we fished
too long at time, they might do some
harm, but we know when to stop. Aft
or the season is over we feel fresher and
better than if we hadn't been leeching.
They are just like mosquitoes-they
suck out all the bad blood and leave
the good, and that's why. suppose, we
feel SO good after a month s work in the
swamp. / think we'd all have malaria
down in this wet place if it wasn't for
the leeches. No man could wade through
such mudhole without getting malaria
unless something helped him..
His farm yields 100000 leeches a
year, and the price is 20 or 80 cents for
100, giving an annual income of 1000
to the family. The market is New York
or Philadelphia, where the leeches are
distributed to the trade.
Half century ago this would have
been a great business, but the belief in
leeches has fallen off in this country.
Europe clings to the practice, and Paris
consumes 100000 leeches yearly,
while London finds use for over z, 000,-
900 year.
James Partit or his boys, when wad-
ing, discovered the presence of the leech-
es in his swamps. He looked up the sub,
ject and decided that he would supply
the American market, which hitherto
had depended OH Europe. He found that
buyers preferred the Hungarian fellow
of olive green without spots, Or else the
German leech, with dark green body
spotted below with black. He got few
specimens and put them in the pond.
They multiplied rapidly after their ene-
mics, the water snakes, were extermi-
mated, and soon the first leech pond in
the country was established. The young
are ready for market in about year,
but reproduction takes three years. The
average life of leech is 3 or 20 years.
Usually healthy man can fish in the
swamp four or five hours without losing
enough blood to exhaust him. The leech
has three jaws and from 20 to 90 teeth.
When these get going, in short time
the leech will swallow five times his
weight in blood
All this is more pleasant than the
practice elsewhere about New York of
fattening leeches for the market ON de
crepit old horses which have been con-
demned to the. boneyard. New York

LETIIGH GAME POSTPONED.
1t VIII Be Played Next Saturday After

The game which was to have taken Place
this afternoon between Georgetown and
Lehish has been postponed Oh account of
the weather and condition Of the grounds
until Saturday afternoon at O'clock. The
Lehigh team is an exceptionally strong ag-
gregation this year, and promises to give
Georgetown rub. All Of the college teams
in tile country seem to regard Georgetown
as a formidable competitor in the race for
collegiate championship honors, and each
team that visits Washington will put forth
more than the ordinary amount of effort to
down the blue an gray.
Although the Georgetown team is rot what
it was last year, 1t seems to be able to hold
it's own, and the promise for its coming
out at the top of the collegiate heap this
season seems bright.
The Lehigh team comprises some good
men, among whom are Capt. Senior, who
is Washington boy, anG Petrikcn, who
played last year on the Atlantic City team.
The team will he made up as follows: Gan
non, right field; Reed, left field; Chasmer,
center field; Petriken, second base; Snyder,
third base; Senior, first base; Grace, short
stop; Carman, catcher, and Given, pitcher.
The Georgetown nine will come up to the
bat in the usual order-Harley Fleming,
Mccarthy, Mahoney, Lambert, Mclaughlin,
Reardon, Lamb and Maloney Lambert is
scheduled to pitch the game, but Mahoney
will take his hard If needed.

Sunday Lcgisla ton.
d. To the Editor of The Evening Star:


Is Il not surprisingly strange that one
who accounts himself a Christian should
demand the aid of secular power in the
matter Of Sunday observance? 1 refer to
the article of ~. S. b. on Sunday Rest"
If his conscience is void of offense," it is
difficult to understand how the opening of
few stores can disturb his peace of
mind and distract his thoughts" Let it
ever be remembered that Christianity made
its way into the world in opposition to hu-
man enactments. Bishop Vincent has said:
1.-The abomination of denominations is the as
sumption of secular power on the part of the
church. ALL the church needs is spiritual
power, and this goes out when secular
power is invoked In the report of the
House of Representatives on Sunday legis-
lation in 1880 appears the following pro-
test: The conclusion is inevitable that the
line cannot be too strongly drawn between
church and state. II solemn act of legis-
lation shall in one point define the law of
God or point out to the citizen one reli-
gious duty it raay with equal propriety pro-
coed to define every part Of divine revela-
ton and enforce every religious obligation.
Every religious sect, however meek in Its
origin, commenced the work of persecution
as soon as it acquired political power"
Surely all can keep Sunday II they desire
to do so without the aid of legislation
T. HARRIS.
