Mud Is Forever
Boiling

Among the wonders of the Yellow
stone National Park none .excites nor
interest than what are known as "the
paint potts. or boiling mud springs.
Into one Of thes caldrons two women
tourists recently fell and were seri-
ously scalded. There are several
groups of these springs in the parks,
one of the largest of which occupies
a space 800 yards in length by PSI IN
width, in what is known as the valley
of Alum creek, near the Crater hills.
A second group is near the wall of the
grand canyon of the Yellowstone, four
miles below Yellowstone lake and six
miles from the Crater hills. This
group occupies a space three acres in
extent and it is said the springs pre-
sent a magnificent sight when in the
course of eruption.
The principal spring is called the
Blue Mud Pot and is 35 feet in diam
eter. 1t is near the large sulphur
spring and when in a tranquil state
looks like a lake of blue mud. The
contents of the spring are more like
muddy water than thick mud, although
at times the mud has a consistency of
mortar. In ONE portions of the
spring various degrees of consistency
are found, ranging from the muddy
water state to a thickness of common
mortar.
There are no particular times of
eruption from these springs, and al
though thew are in groups or are very
close together, not more than two feet
separating some of them, there seems
to- be no connection between them, and
they are of different colors. Various
shades of brown, red, pink, blue, law
ender and gray are to be found, and
when all of them are spouting together
the kaleidoscope coloring makes a

Wall street trustmakers are reaching

savory salmon of the Pacific coast,
from the Columbia river to Behring
Sea, has for years been the object of
fierce commercial warfare. With the
formation of the Pacific Packing and
Navigation company, which was incor=
porated in New Jersey last week with
a capitalization of 1872, 600, 900, this
warfare is ended. Fighting companies
to the number of at least fifteen have
been merged into the trust and the
stockholders have ceased to worry or
to cut each others throat for the pos
session of markets. Nearly all of the
big companies in Alaska and Wash
ington which are not already in the
Alaska Packers association combina-
ton have signified their intention of
joining the salmon trust. 1t is esti-
mated that they will pack 1900 900
cases this year, and that without add
ing materially to the canneries already
In operation the pack can be increased
to $500, 900 cases by next season. Be-
sides the canneries, fish traps, wheels,
and trap nets, the trust absorbs a large

The Pacific Steam Whaling company
has half a dozen large steamers, to say
nothing of a score of cannery tugs.
Other of the companies operating in
Alaska own steamers and large sailing
vessels. The Alaska Packers associa-
ton, with headquarters at San Fran
cisco and fishing grounds all along the
western coast, is the rival of the trust,
and a lively competition is expected.
j. X. Armsby & Co., who represent the
association in New York, say that
with the purchase Of a big canning
plant at Anacortes, which has just
been constructed, the Packers associa-
ton will put up so per cent of the
worlds supply of salmon this year.
A fight between the old and new trust
would be interesting, but Wall street
men believe it will be avoided. On

How Horses
~ Fight

Animals at War" is the subject of
L bright and very interesting paper in
Pearson's Magazine by an observant
naturalist, DR.. Louis Robinson who
gives many particulars about their
fighting and weapons. Horses, as a.
rule, when fighting among themselves,
use their teeth more than their heels.
A gentleman who witnessed a furious
combat between two Arab stations
Informed me, that not once did they
attempt to kick one another with their
hind hoofs, but each made persistent
attempts to seize his opponent by the
neck with his powerful teeth. They
continually reared up, in order to pre-
vent this attack succeeding, and, when
in that position, struck out at one an
other with their front hoofs like a
couple of pugilists. Hence it would
appear as If a smashing blow with the
hind 'hoof, propelled by the enormous
ly powerful muscles of the thigh, is
rather a method of dealing with ex-
sernal enemies than Of Settling ques-
lions of equine precedence. Appar4
emily one chief use of a horses name
and the thick gristly crest which
gives the splendid arch to the nape
of his neck, is to provide mechanical
protection when the males engage in
trial by battle and grip one, another
with their powerful teeth. The fact
that the crest is much more promi-
nent in stations than in mares sup
ports this view. Among ca~rnivorous
quadrupeds mere mechanical protec-
ton against injury from rivals of their
own kind, although comparatively
rare, is not unknown. Thus the splen-
did name of the lion appear to be
chiefly useful in partially shielding
his neck and shoulders from the teeth
and claws of rivals. The tiger, on the
contrary, although armed with weap-
ons every whit as formidable as those
of the lion appears to be able to set
tie all questions Of precedence without
protective armour. AS a rule, the car
nivora, owing to the needs of their
daily life, are such adopts in the art
of killing that if they fought among
themselves in the uncompromising
manner of bulls or game cocks, they

with great rapidity. They will work
for wages which would hardly support
a white man, even if it were possible to
secure the amount of white labor nee
essary in the large canning districts, in
view of the temporary nature of the
work. Most of the fishing is done by
white men, however, and all positions
of trust in the canneries are held by
them. Many of the Alaskan canneries
are QUILTED from San Francisco. A
month before the season opens a sail
ing vessel is loaded with supplies, in

to a hundred Chinese cannerymen are

eral thousand Washington fishermen
who will watch the growth Of the sail
mon trust with a great deal of interest.
They are the persons who will be the
most affected by the combination.
These men, mostly from Sweden am
Norway, sell their catch to the differ
ent canneries instead of working for
wages. The price which they receive
for their fish varies from 25 cents to
10 cents, according to the season and
the amount of competition between
buyers. In seasons of extraordinary
runs prices fall as low as six or eight
cents. The Washington Indians spend
three months of every year at salmon
fishing and always sell cheaper than
white fishers. The trust will probably
succeed in lowering the price paid
fishermen by removing competition.
The largest canneries acquired by the
new trust are at Point Roberts, in
Washington, near the British Column
bia line. The largest salmon catches
are made in this vicinity. 1t is an
ideal place for reef and trap net fish

back, dog and steelhead salmon. The
quinnat is highest in quality, and with
the steelhead stands most in favor for
the fresh trade. The caneries would
use nothing except sockeye could the
specie be obtained in sufficient numbers
to satisfy their demands. The other
varieties are used to complete the pack
and form the cheaper grades. The
sockeye salmon runs from six to
twelve pounds in weight, and is popu-
lar with the canneries because of the
depth and stability of its color and the
firmness of it's flesh. The sockeye run
is at it's height in July and August,

of the salmon pack is taken. Every
fourth year the run of salmon Is much
larger than usual, according to the sta
tistics of the last twenty years. The
largest run ever known was in 1897,
when the fish were taken in such
quantities that the canners could not
handle more than half the catch. An
other phenomenal run is expected this
ear, according to the four-year scale.
On this expectation the salmon trust
is depending for a good start. Most of
the labor employed in the canneries of
Washington and Alaska is Chinese. 1t
is furnished by contractors living in
San Francisco, Portland and Seattle.

Puget Sound and the rivers flowing
into it salmon fishing and canning
have been carried on successfully for
years. Within the last five years the
increase in the number OF canner1es
has been enormous. The canneries
are built, as a rule, in the center OF the
various fishing grounds and vary IN
size according to the extent OF the
grounds. Nearly every form of appa-
ratus known to be adapted to salmon
fishing has been brought into use.
Trap nets were the latest to be intro
duced, but have become recognized as
most effective in salt water, n on
them the trust will depend for the
greater part Of it's catch. The nets are
hung on heavy frames of permanent
construction. They are placed in shall
low water along the path taken by the
salmon on their way from the sea to
the spawning rivers. There are no
trap nets in the Straits of Juan de
Fuca, because the salmon do not skirt
the shores of that channel. The nets
are found, however, on the southern
end of San Juan Island, in Deception
Pass, Canal de Haro, Rosario Strait
and various bays in the vicinity. Purse
nets, which, like the traps, require con-
siderable outlay for operation, are
used further up the sound for the later
running species of salmon. The drag
seine is used by the individual fisher
man, who brings his catch to the near
est cannery in his own boat and sells
the fish for a few cents apiece. The
phenomenal abundance of salmon, the
perfection to which their preparation
has been carried and above all the firm
hold which the canned product has Sc
cured in the markets throughout the
world, are the reasons which the
United States Commissioner of Fish
and Fisheries gives for the wonderful
growth and success of the salmon in
dustry. Five species are recognized

English Fashionable Society Irreliglous.
1t is no uncommon thing to hear
from the pulpit or elsewhere a lament
over the lowered faith and morals of
the upper classes; and, without indulg-
ing in any sensational exaggeration,
we are driven by the evidence of facts
to conclude hat such lamentation is
justified, says the London Church
Times. There is the increase OF con-
jugal infidelity in fashionable society
and the callous Indifference with
plete secularization of Sunday with its
selfish indifference to the rights of
those who are thereby deprived of
their day of rest. There is a shame
less contempt for the ordinances of the
church. Quite lately We CHANGED to
notice in the World an account of a
