Schiaparelli.

Schiaparelli, the astronomer who first
discovered the SO called canals" Of
Mars, did 30 with o much smaller tele-
scope than those in use in many other
observatories at that time. And yet he
is very nearsighted man. Garrett p.
Serviss Of Brooklyn. in speaking Of his
first interview with the eminent Italian,
said that Schiaparelli would hold Wis
itor's card within five or six inches Of
his eyes in order to decipher it. The sin.
gular part Of this story is not that q
man with such an infirmity should be
able to Guido other astronomers, for
keenness Of vision depends rather upon
the retina than the convexity of the
lenses Of the eye. and the eyepiece of o
telescope can DO focused 80 as to suit
the latter. But it does seem o little odd
that the gifted scientist in question
should habitually refrain from wearing
eyeglasses. Possibly he has theory as
to the effect of their use upon his visual
powers.

WEIGHT POSSIBILITIES OF CARP.


n Wen Ysd asd Trusted. rhsy Attain -
Eo0rD0os Sino.
Big Ash chronicles are always inter.
esting. Attention IL just now being be-
slowed spon the weight possibilities of
carp. These fish are notoriously long
lived. and, provided they are not caught
before they have had chance Of living
long, and. provided again, they have
few enemies and solicitous keepers to
supplement their natural food supply
regularly, it is only natural that they
ehouN grow to q relatively great size.
Under normal conditions, Of course, they
do not exceed . few pounds, and, as it
is the normal conditions that prevail,
discussion Of what they might attain
may be regarded by not few as some
thing Of futility. Still, they are some
times placed in peculiarly favorable cir
cumstances, and, as the question is
really concerned with what weight they
can reach, 1t is not such a futility after
all
We must 60 abroad for the biggest
carp OF which angling history has to
tell. In q private pond in Saxony there
used to be pair Of breeding carp whose
united weight in Saxony measure q per
cent heavier than English) reached 81
pounds. the male was 43 pounds and
the female 48 pounds. By good living
and attention they even exceeded this.
In IL years the male put ON o pounds
and the female IL pounds. The pond
which afforded o home for these crea-
lures was famous one. In one year
1000 pounds Of carp were taken from it
to say nothing Of tench and Jack. In
this same pond-which, by the way, COW
cred IL acres-the proprietor had left
several carp for breeding. Five of these
weighed 1O3 pounds Saxon, and the
largest Of the five, Spiegcl carp, aged
Is years. drew in the scale S11s pounds
English. The age Of the two first alluded
to could not be estimated. They were on
the estate when it was purchased from
another family, 30 years before.
We have never to our personal knowl-
edge known o carp that exceeded 20
pounds to be caught in English waters.
A brace which weighed 35 pounds was
once presented to the late Lord Eyre
mont. A curious thing about these big
fish Is their tameness. Mr.. Pennell tells
Us he has seen carp in the garden ponds
Of Rotterdam eagerly following visitors
about to be fed, while one immense fell
low. with side as broad as fitch of
bacon and an appetite that seemed in
satiable, actually pursued him for rear-
~ 100 yards along the side Of the bank
until his stock Of bread had run ont.
This fish, he adds, must have weighed
10 pounds. Their rate Of growth has
been approximately computed to be
8 pounds during the first six years and
9 pounds before tho tenth year.-Psll

SHE ouTTALkeD DUMAS


@DS = SnDvOE III &1AEH 49, A0D00 - IL
Dumas fils had curt mannera How

amusing, and she was a witty, good
tempered being. The nose was short,
funny. retrousse, the mouth wide and
laughing and the tongue lisping. but,
- the French say, bien pendue for rep
artee.
Dumas, after staring some time at
her, put his forefinger to the tip Of his
semiaQuiline nose and pushed it up. He
kept 1t 60 for some time, still staring.
The pantomime was grossly impertinent.
I thought-and 80 did every one else
that the poor girl would burst into tears.
She laughed, not a bit Historically, and,
feeling she was an object Of general at

was pleased to give himself. He began
to rally her. She flnng back retorts. I

on the young lady's side. She spoke
French to perfection. m. Alphonse"
was then on the stage. Mr.. Ernest Pin
ard, who listened with rapture, cried,
"Mademoiselle enfonce votre Alphon-

in that play.
Dumas retired from the combat net

he afterward said what q pity it was

The Potato In Fraacs.

In France we find that the potato

apothecary. who really introduced il and
did all he could to get it generally cul-
tivated, though not without the assist

Besancon for the discovery Of . new
food which would all the place Of CO.

showed his potatoes, and Louis XVI gave
him 80 morRen Of land to plant them
on. When showing the FIRST flowers Of
his potatoes, the king used them as .
buttorhole bouquet, Queen Marie An
toineufe had them in the evening in her
hair. and ut once princes. dukes and
high functionaries went to Parmentier
to obtain such flowers.
All Paris talked Of nothing but pota.

king said. France will thank you some
time hence because you have found
bread for the poor" And France has
noe forgotten Psrmentier, for I saw my
self in 1882 potatoes growing on his
grave in the grand cemetery Of Paris,

that they were planted there every year,

men who dare to protest against the
course pursued. The republican
party has regained power in New

object lessons In New York and
