One Of the very rarest Of all marine
creatures, the wandering fish, not ex.
ccpted. is the crustacean known as the
indigo lobster. During the years 1901
the lobster men Of New London, Conn.
caught Ave OF these wonders, two of
them In the Fisher Island sound. Lob
sters of that variety are so exceedingly
rare that II Is not known that more
than two Of that kind had ever been
captured before In the history of the
world. The capture of two blue lob

reported, but on good authority It is
said that the report was never verified.

Poultry and Duck,.

A poultry breeder says farmers will
feed hushel Of corn to produce six
pounds OF pork worth 70 cents, while
this bushel would keep hen year.
She would lay Mt least twelve dozen
eggs, which, averaging ~ cents dcz-
en-, would equal $1.20, and she would
rear brood Of chickens worth twice
as much more, making total Of nearly
So. Experiments made at Utah agri-
cultural experiment station seem to

careful to keep tho prime hay separ-

and carefully weed out all that may be

for milk production. The later cut hay

Quite a pleasant time was had at
Spring Lake Park yesterday at the
nat" Some one hundred men
and boys were clad in striped bath
ing suits, sans legs and arms, and
they made pretty sight to behold,
jumping from spring boards, traps
and high towers. The edge of the
natatorium was fringed with spec.
tators who enjoYed the high dives
made by the men.
The natatorium in the hot days
of summer is almost as popular as
soda fountain and those who delight
to spend an hour in the cooling wa
ters, seems as content as if they
we're strangers to troubles. We
learn that the Park will be opened

REFORM NEEDED

The City Council has given us the
curfew law, but the police say ii
does not touch the boys that should
bel kept of the streets. There are
many Of them allowed TO come to
the train at nine o'clock at
night to sell papers, and this gives
them a scope that does them no
good tor they are learning all kinds
of devilment during the waiting Of
the train.
There are many Of these boys
who are given papers and who sell
only two or three, their part OF the
profit cannot be more than five
cents, and this money is not nsed to
support a family on, but is put in
the first slot machine the urchins
find and its winnings is taken out
IN cigarettes or soda water.
We have been told time and again
that this CITY contains several
white boys who must be
watched constantly by the police to
keep them from stealing the town
out and they learned this devilment
by selling papers at night and al
lowed to run on the streets at
nights. We think a tax should be
imposed on the men who handle the
papers and give the selling out to
boys, on commission, as this would
put a stop to the promiscuOus
| gathering of boys on the corners at
night, as they would have no excuse.
| Let each dealer have one boy, with
out a tax requirement and for each
additional help put tax on them
that cannot be paid with profit and
the boys are then kept off the
streets or their parents and guar
dians are made to pay their fine.
There are some good boys handling
papers here who are honest and
stright and it is this class we would
protect from the association OF
those who are viciously inclined and
who are known to the police as be-
ing very tough.
