COLUMBIA RIVER SALMON.

How tho Chinese Workmen Cut Up, Pref
pare and Can tho Fish.
ION a recent trip to the Pacific
York drummer. to the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, II paid . visit to one Of the
large canning factories in Oregon,
where the Columbia river salmon are
packed and shipped all over the coun.
try. 1t was novel sight to me, and
one in which took a great deal Of
interest. The fish are caught in nets
and carried in boats to the factory,
where they are thrown upon q stage
and lie in heaps, thousand or so in a
pile. You can sec huge fish among
them that weigh from thirty to sixty
pounds. One Chinaman will seize .
salmon, and, with a dextrous blow Of
a big knife, sever its head with one
stroke; another workman then grabs IL
and slashes off the fins and disembowels
it. 1t is then thrown into a vat, where
the blood soaks out, and l tell you
they bleed like stuck pig. After re-
peated washings the fish is cut into
chunks, plunged into brine and stuffed
into cans, the bones first being re.
moved. The tops of the cans, which.
have small hole in them, are then
soldcrcd on, and five or six hundred
of them at time arc plunged into
boiling water, where they remain
until the heat has expelled all the air.
Then the little airhole in the top Of
the lid is soldered up and the salmon y
ready for market"

- Indianapolis Lady's SOllcltude for the
Cleanliness Of Her Friends.
4 certain lady of this c...y, who had
u0voe been used to the luxury of life
until after her husband made largo
sum OF money in the real estate bush
meas, moved into an elegant house
which had, among other conveniences,
a fine bathroom, says the Indianapolis
Sentinel. 1t was her pride, and every
risitor was informed about the bath
nom. Guests who came from q dis
lance were greeted with: ''Now, know
you are tired and dusty after your long
Journey; just go right up to the bath
room and you can have a refreshing
bath ut once" This worked well in
most cases, but one day she made q
mistake. She went to the door one
warm summer afternoon to find young
gentleman friend of her husbands
from Louisville, and she took it for
granted that he was going to stay all
night. So her first words after shaking
hands with him were: ''Now, you are
tired and dusty after your journey;
just go right up to the bathroom; q
bath will refresh you So"
In vain the young man tried to ex-
postulate; she had him by the arm and
started him up the stairway before he
could get in word. In half an hour
he came down and took up his hat and
stici II thank you very much" he
said, Il enjoyed the bath very much. "
Then he started for the door. "Why,
where are you going?" asked the
hostess. ITO catch my train" he an.
swered; II only had forty minutes to
stay and my bath took half an hour, 90
must hustle now to catch The Chicago
train" This cured the lady Of showing
off her bathroom.

An Old Grizzly Lies In Wait for the Pos
sibie TransgressOr.
Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt, writing of
grizzly bears in his book, 1.-The Wider
ness Hunter" relates a story told him
by DIR. Merrill, of the United States
army. "A remarkable incident" Mr..
Roosevelt calls it. DR.. Merrill, in
company with an old hunter, was fol-
lowing an elk trail in deep, narrow
canyon.
On turning a corner of the canyon,
the two men were charged on by an
old she grizzly, SO close that it was
only by good luck that one of their
hurried shots disabled her and sent her
tumbling over bank, where she was
easily finished.
directly across the game trail on a
smooth, well-beaten patch of bare
earth, which looked as if it had been
dug up, refilled, and trampled down.
Examining this patch curiousfy, they
saw bit of hide only partially COW
cred at one end, and on digging they
found the body of a wcll-grown grizzly
cub. Its skull had been crushed and
the brains licked out, and there were
signs of other injuries.
The hunters pondered long over this
strange discovery, and hazarded many
gucsses as to its meaning. AT last they
decided that probably the cub had
been killed and it's brains eaten, either
by some old grizzly or by a cougar;
that the mother had returned and
driven away the murderer, and that
she had then buried the body and lain
above it, waiting to wreak her ven
geance on the first passer-by.

A plan for supplying Paris with wa

sideration by the municipality. II
involves the building of an aqueduct
800 miles in length and at an estimatAl
cost of 100000. An earlier plao
proposed to use Lake Geneva as .
source of supply. the estimated cost
being elOO,OOO,OOO. The engineer OF
the Neufchatel plan proposes to tun-

greatest engineering works of modern
times is the artificial lake impounding
the waters of the River Vyrnwy, in
Montgomeryshire, TO supply Liverpool,
sixty-eight miles distant. The lake
has storage capacity Of l,5oO, 600, 900
gallons, and power is given to supply
water over a certain belt of country on
each side of the line. Liverpool Il
thus placed on an equality, as to water

Watching for o long ti,ac he discovered

began to stray they were driven back
into the school by large fish On one
side or the other, and whenever q
strange fish approached, one of the
guardians rushed ut him and drove
him off. The watcher noted the move

Iessness on the ID. L.. & w. Railroad.
A smash-up occurred on the Delaware,
Lackwanna and Western Railroad at
Penhorn Creek, Secaucus, last evening,
which esulted in the injury of a number
of persons, W of whom were removed to
st. Mary's Hospital, Hoboken. Traffic
on the road was delayed for two hours.
The Buffalovexpress due at Hoboken at
7:19 o'clock reached Penhorn Creek about
fifteen minutes behind the scheduled time.
The ice on the rails prevented it from
running at the usual speed, and it was
probably this fact that saved the train
and its passengers from a worse disaster.
Just as the express was approaching the
creek, an engine which had been drilling
freight cars, was leaving the main track
to allow the express to pass. John Skill
man, the engineer Of the express, saw the
danger ahead and quickly turned on The
air breaks, but he was unable to avoid a
collision. The locomotive of the express
smashed into the tender of the drill en-

Diverting a Current May Alter the Tenn
perature at Vladivostock.
1t is not impossible that by a single
feat of engineering the climate of Vladi-
vostok may be SO changed that the port
will not be closed by ice in the winter.
The intense cold of the region, which is
in the latitude of New York. Spain and
Southern Italy, is measurably due to the
Arctic current from the Sea of Okhotsk,
which runs through the Strait of Tartary
into the Sea of Japan, keeping along the
Siberian and Chinese shores. But for this
current V~ladivostok would have at least
as mild a winter climate as Hakodate, the
opposite point in Japan, for then the
warm 1ood from Tsushima Straits and
the Japanese gulf stream would battle it's
shores. The proposition is to check the
of Tartary where the distance from the
mainland to Saghallen Island is only
about line miles. A Russian engineer has
proposed to do the work for $200, 600, 600,
probably by means of a jetty, the stone
and labor to construct which are both
available and cheap. 1t is said that the
Cars Government is not u~nfavorably i'm
pressed with thei idea, and has looked into
it. The success of this stupendous enter
prise would be of much climatic advan-
tage to Corea, as well as to the Siberian
panhandle, making that country even
more desirable than it now is to Euro
pean power, but the result of Eastern ia
pan does not promise so well. To divert
the southbound Okhotsk current from it's
present channel is to risk sending it over
to the other side of the Japanese group
and down the shore between the mainland
and the gulf stream, in which event a
large part of Dali Nippon might soon cease
to have any association with peach buds
