Salmon Being DIFFERENTIATED

Dr.. GrinnelI. editor OF Forest and
Stream, has just returned with the
Hartman exploring expedition from
Alaska. He brings what is probably
the most important information gath
cred by scientists-namely that the
salmon in the streams OF the territory
are being rapidly externinated The
fisheries devoted to this important in
dustry make quite a figure in tbs Pa
ciflc trade. and the editor named sug-
gested that some measure for the pres
ervation Of the fish be taken before it

ConI hfinin- IN China.

In point Of abundance coal takes the
first place among the mineral products
OF China. The coal fields of the coun-
try are estimated to equal in extent all
the coal fields OF the world put to-
gether, but the output mas az<Tet been
tri1ing. This is partly due to the fact
that the richest regions are difficult OF
access and that the Chinese miner can
not cope with water in the pits. The
mining is therefore carried on by
means of horizontal adits or shallow
pits. The lakeland OF Shansyi yields
the best coai, cther great fields being
in Suchwan and kweichcH.

PRIMITIVE CHRONOLOGY.

In Mexico Months Are Named After the
Arrival of Birds.
The most primitive methoa in chro-
nology is that which enables man to
orient himself in the world Of time by
associating particular lurations with
vfcissitudes OF weather, with seasonal
aspects OF vegetation, and with the
constantly changing sights and sounds
of the animal world, gays Popular Sci

Crees. for example, we find such desig-
nations as "duck-month. frog

moon that strikes the earth cold"

"eagics-seen moon" So in the caien-
dars OF Central America and Mexico
the months are named variously after
the arrival OF birds, the poisoning OF
HoUers, the Blowing of winds. the re-
turn of mosquitoes and the appearance
of fishes. The Greeks constantly used
the movements OF birds TO mark the
seasons: the arrival OF the swallow and
kite were thus noted. Hegiod tells us

The principal reason that coins are
struck and not cast is the well-knoEn
fact that molten metals contract on
cooling Thus counterfeit coins. which
are always cast, show fatal variations
in size, which authentic stamped coins
do not. Secondly, it is impossible to
get the same sharpness OF delineauon
as in stamping. and. lastly. when the
stamping machine is once set up the
process of striking coins is infinitely
cheaper and more rapid than that OF
casting ever could be.

Chicago, Sept. 16--Ex-Governor Eos

that it is the duty of this conference to

on the climate as on the fact that here
many truths have already become trite

extraordinary enthusiasm for philoso-

are diversified and contrasted, and
from this is produced a shock and a
ferment which throw all minds into
revolt; but in London no one gets ex-

to do SO. II you want to believe only
