A shipment of American black bass
was made to France, and they have
fiourished so marvelousIy that to-day
they are common articles of diet in the
hotels and restaurants. When the bass
were introduced the French streams
were practically deserted.

German artillery fred 100000 shots
and the infantry twenty million. This

bullets sufficient to kill a regiment.

No Wonder 1t Was stale.

In a Metropolitan court a woman
was sued for the value of a certain
quantity Of bread supplied to her or
der, and received daily.
In defense, she stated that the
amount charged was exorbitant, as,
owing to being stale, she was entitled
to a reduction in price.
Aftel conflicting evidence, presuming
the case would be decided against her,
the defendant placed her hand under
her heavy shawl, and producing loaf,
she shouted
"Seeing's believing, your honor.
That's a specimen-stale enough for a
menagerie, and hard as a brick"
With a smile, the judge tried to press
his thumb into the substantial evidence
before him, but being bafiied on all
sides, he exclaimed

Beaten and Stoned.

In January, 1852, he took his depart
ure for south Shantung, which had s.
100000 population, and among whom
were only 15S Christians. The whole
section was a hOtbed Of political and
religious dissensiOn and the greater
part of the population lived by robbery.
When the robbers learned the priest
was there to oppose them, they be
came his bitter enemies and threatened
70 kill all Chinese who had dealings
with him. Finally, at Tsau-Tscho-tu'
matters assumed a serious turn and an
epoch Of persecution opened. Mgr.
AMER endeavOred to open a mission
house. but the mandarin Of the town
sent a troop of evildOers to get him
out of the way. They dragged him
from his hostelry, beat him with sticks
and stones and finally left him for dead
outside the city gates. He was cared
for nv a native friend and was, after
several months, able to continue his
lshors. He had considerable success,
but again was attacked by a mob this
time Mt the town of I-Schui, and would
have suffered death had it not been for
a humane mandarin who interfered.
Pope Leo was so pleased with Faith
ar Anzer's progress that he ordered
him TO report IN person at Rome. The
courageous missionary arrived at the
! vatican in the winter Of 1884, and
though only "a years old at that time
left the Eternal City with the title OF
Vicar Apostolic. Soon afterwards the
district south Of Shantung was formed
into q separate bishopric. In 1856 he
was consecrated a bishop and imme
d,ately returned to the battle agains

Venice without it's waters would ~

And such state Of affairs, we are led
to believe, may eventually come about.
The regular increase in the delta Of tbs
Pc has been studied by Prof. MarineI-
Ii. Comparison Of the Austrian map
Of about 1928 with the records Of snr~
veys made in 1898 shows that the mean
annual increase during those years haa
been about three-tenths Of a squsE4
mile; and from all known data it APP
pears that the total increase during six
centuries has been about 1913 square
miles. The incease is continuing and
the Gulf Of Venice is doomed in tfns
to disappear. No Immediate alarm
need, however, be excited. for Prof
Marinelli calculates that between 100
and 100 centuries will elapse before the
entire Northern Adriatic will have be-
come dry land.
