Disease IN Fishea.

to learn that fishes can be infected

Hesitation in the lungs. Into a pond In
France tuberculous matter from pa.

were afterwards noted to die. and the
germs Of bacilll OF consumption were
found in plenty in their bodies; while
when these bacilli of the fishes were
given to other fishes. they proved fatal
In the same way. There Is one comfort
given to us, however, by the French
experimenters. 1t seems that in the
fish. cold-blooded animal, the germs
fall of in their vitality, SO that It is
unlikely they would affect man or 9th,

MONEY IN OLD TIN CANS.

dixie for Two Mechanics.
Down on the South Side of Chicago.
near Seyenty-ninth street and Vim
cennes avenue, there Is Klondike dis
covered and worked to its utmost ca
pacity by two bright young mechanics.
Out toward Englewood. near the
tracks of the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific Railroad, half stones throw
from Seventy-ninth street. can be seen
an immense quantity Of old tin cans
piled into hills Of very decent proper
tions.
There are hills of tomato cans, min
lature mountains OF peach and pear
cans, mounds of milk cans. cans from
far-of France, that were once filed
with delicate trufiies, cans that were
once ready to burst with the luscious
fruits which California sends to less
favored States, oil cans, old kitchen
pots and pans. all gathered up from
one end Of the city to the other. and
from hotel garbage boxes.
The assay office OF this "tin-ean
Klondike" is near by In a little 16x2O
foot frame building, used also as store
house for refined metal.
The factory itself is half block
further down toward Eighty-irsi
street.
These old cans are placed In fur
mace and brought TO a red-hot heat
by rousing fire under them, which
melts the solder and zinc or 'spelter,"
these sinking to the bottom of the pot,
while the tin remains on top.
The solder or "spelter" is ladled out
and east into bars, In which form 1t
dnds its way to the metal market;
while the tin is run out into frames
and rolled into sheets of various sizes.

The saying originated from an incl.
dent in the life OF Philip IL. king Of
Macedon. the tasher OF Alexander the
Great. Philip was undoubtedly great
man; but all men, great and small,
have their weaknesses. and he was q
great drunkard. One day, when rising
flushed from his wine. he was called
upon to decide lawsuit. and In his
bibulous condition he decided II un.
justly. whereupon the losing party
cried: ~ shall appeal against your

her reply. The wisdom Of the appeal
WAS justified by the result, for when
Philip had become sober he discovered
his mistake ana reversed his Judgment.

One Town Which Finds the Evening
 Bell a Success.
 Elmira is trying khe virtue of cur few ordinance. It's express purpose is to keep oat of the streets the e.,iidren who have been permitted to frequent them in the evening without restraint heretofore. says the Elmira Advertiser. It takes effect at o'clock in the sum- mer and at 8 o'clock during the win- ter. The effect of the rule has beex watched with interest, and no one can doubt that the new rule will be az faithfully enforced hereaftev as 1t has been during the first week. Only one arrest has been made, but that was sufficient to show the intention of the police department to enforce the ordi- nance in fair and reasonable man ner. According to all the testimony at hand it accomplishes the purpose for which it was passed. Children, and young girls in particular, are no long, CT seen promenading the streets in groups or singly, and the gain for or der is plainly noticeable. There is a disposition shown in the press of other cities to poke fun at the course pur- sued here, but our citizens care nothing sor that. They are trying honestly an experiment from which much good is hoped, and their expectations have met no dlsappointments up to today Instead of laughing at our village similarly afflicted communities would do well to adopt the same course of treatment for what IS everywhere ac- knowledged to be serious evil If large numbers of the young can be kept out of temptation and from evil courses by so simple a device. it is far wiser to try it than to jeer at 1t. It is not laughing matter at all, but one of grave moment to the welfare of nearly all large towns. Our experi- ment is worthy of general imitation, for 1t is a great success in it's begin ming.

BOAT DRILL IS TERRIFYING.
Performance Aboard Ship That Always

0SessSS eho assehSoE5s
 A boat drill Is an interesting per formance when one sees it for the first time, provided he knows that 1t is com- ing; but it's terrors are real for those who do not expect it nor understand what it means. sThe second day out while I was sitting calmly on deck" said woman who crossed the ocean this summer. T heard the bell ring ylo- lently and continuously. Looking around, I saw two able seamen drag ging q heavy hose and In another sec ond the water was turned on full force. Then the crew began to appear on every hand and to tear about in tho widest way. Meanwhile the bell con- tinued to ring and the captain stood on the bridge giving orders. I wondered If I had time to go for my pocketbook or for life-preserver. I did regret that l had not read more carefully the di- rections for putting on the life-pre- server. Meanwhile tried to find out how near death we were, and just what was the cause of our doom, but the men to whom appealed were as much frightened or as ignorant as l. Yes, the ships on fre,' answered one. An other said he didn't know whether there was fire in the hold or whether something had broken about the en- zine. The crew was busy getting the lifeboats oyer and hadn't time to an- swer any questions. I saw two women crying and clinging to their husbands. and one woman was about to leap overheard when she was restrained by a man in white coat and apron, who. l think, was a cooks boy. The cooks boy told me at last that 1t was a drill to test the men. Don't try to eneour- age me, I protested; T would rather know the worst It must have been over in five minutes, but I learned in that time to feel what it meant to be sure of death at sea. I asked the cap tain why he didn't warn the paesen- gers of what was coming. Because the men would know, too he replied, and I wouldn't find out then how many men slept on duty"

CONVICT ISLAND.
where the Worst Type of Criminals
 Have a Chance for Reform.

Where the Worst Type of Criminals
 Have Chance for Reform.
 Since 1858 the Andamans, group of thickly wooded islands toward the east side of the Bay Of Bengal, have been used by the Indian government as g penal settlement for life convfcts. There are about 1s,000 convicts in the settlement at Port Blair which is conducted as a practical reformatory for the reform of the criminals. Every convict knows that his treatment de- pends (after certain preliminary pe- riod of severe discipline) entirely on himself. He also knows that good be- havior will of itself commute the life sentence to one of twenty years. A large number of tfie eonvicts are men respited from death sentences. The newly arri ved convict is placed in the cellular gaol, where he IS solitary alike in his cell and during his daily walk around the ring for exercise. At the end of six months he is transferred for year and a half to an associated gaoI. where he labors In a gang during the udy anu 6lctpo d oEpdl dLc dt night. For the next three years he is locked up in barracks at night with prisoners Of the same class and kept hard at work all day. After this pe- riod the severity Is eased down, the tasks are not so irksome and his ca- pacity Is studied in the employment given to him and he begins to earn a small allowance, which he can either spend on little luxuries or put into the savings bank. At the end of ten years he is eligible for ticket of leave. with liberty to earn his living within tha island settlement in his own way. He can live in his own house. farm little land and move about within eonsid. erable area unwatched. He can send for wife and children, or, If a bache- Tor. marry convict woman. At tho end of twenty years. If of good be- havior, he obtains an absolute release, with free conveyance to India to make . fresh start as free man.
