EXPERIMENT WITH FISH EGGS
Experts Have Been Trying to Art
hhcal1y Produce Monsters with
Little Success.

A phenomenon that has been a
puzzle to naturalists is the frequent
occurrence of embryo monsters in
fish eggs-that is to say, double
headed and otherwise abnormal
young ones. With a view to acquir-
ing some knowledge on the subject,
experts of the fish commission have
been trying TO produce similar mon
sters artifieiafIy, by purposely inflict-
ing certain injuries upon the eggs,
says the Saturday Evening Post. It
has been proved that various freaks
may be obtained from the eggs of
chickens by interfering a. criti-
cal period with the germs they con-
tain, and it was thought that the
same thing might be accomplished
with fish eggs, SO as to throw light
upon the causes of such deformi-
ties.
With this benevolent intention, fish
eggs of various kinds were iolted
about and otherwise treated injuri-
ously. One lot Of them, for example,
was placed in small glass jar Sc
curely corked, which was then
dropped ten times from a height of
four feet into a wooden pail half
filled with water, striking the bot
tom of the bucket each time with
considera bic violence. But these and
other trials produced no monsters,
though they killed a good many of
the eggs. Those left alive Matched
out normal fish in due time. The
conclusion was reached that, in hand
ling fish eggs, it is of the utmost
Importance to avoid shaking them
up or disturbing them in any avoid
able way.

ART OF TWISTING STICKS.
In Japan 1t Ranks as Science-Arf
OF Arranging Flowers
Minor Detail.

The chief difference between the
arrangement of flowers in this coun-
try and il Japan is that whereas
IN this country the art is merely
considered as a pretty accomplish
ment for gentlewomen, in Japan it
ranks as science and a philosophy,
which can only be mastered after
several years of close study, saws
Pearson's Magazine.
Far from being only practiced by
ladies, this pretty japanese art has
among it's devotees princes, scholars
and other prominent men, who, hav-
ing retired from the cares of political
life, are in search of hobby which
will afford not only amusement, but
will also offer intricacies and OBJ
stacles worthy of their trained
minds.
All cultured people in Japan are
proficient in the science, just as the
better classes among western nations
cultivate taste in dress or in the ar
tistic arrangement of their household
goods.
The Japanese term for a flower
hana-also implies a blossom clad
stem, and even the stumps or branch
es of f1owerless trees and shrubs, and
their science of flower arrangement
consists not only in grouping the
flowers, but more particularly in
grouping their leaves and twigs ac-
cording to prescribed formula. The
blossom IS looked upon as a minor
detail in the artistic composition, and
OF very small value if separated from
the parent stem, whose sweeping
though artificial curves emphasize it's
beauty. The whole science is, there
fore, reduced to obtaining curves
which, THOUGH really distorted, have
the appearance Of being true to ma
ture.

CHARLESTOWN'S OLD PEONY.
valued Service Which 1t Rendered
the Massachusetts City Sub
seGuent to 1875.

Growing in the garden at Charles
town, Mass, of Oliver Holden, COM
poser of the tune "Coronation," is to
be found an old-fashioned red peony.
The peOny, to casual observer,
would not seem any more attractive
and perhaps not SO handsome as
many of the magnificent specimens
which adorn the lawns of hundreds
of summer homes. It's claim to fame
lies in the fact that it has marvel
Gus history and is said to be 100
years old, says the Patriotic Review.
The present occupant of the old
Holden home, which is located on
Pearl street, on the side of Bunker
Hill, is Mrs. Thomas Doane, and it
is through her kindness that the
story of the peony appears in our
pages, which runs as follows:
Mrs. Holden as a child watched
with others the sprouting of the
peonies in the spring of 1776. After
the battle of Bunker Hill the Brit
ish fired the town of Charlestown
lands were destroyed. Houses and
fences were swept away, and there
was seemingly nothing left to mark
anew the boundary lines of the own
ers Some one suggested that in
the springtime their garden plants
might sprout and give some clew;
and sure enough, the old peony put
forth it's leaves, and from it's location,
near the old city hall, was marked
off the property of the different late
owners and also was laid out the new
city of Charlestown.

GOVERNOR LA TOILETTE vetoed SEN
ator Jacobs bill relating to changes OF
venue from the circuit to the county
court of Dodge county. The plain
object of the bill was to remedy an
evil which has grown to enormous and
ridiculous proportions in this county.
In cases wherein an affidavit of pre-
judice is fled in the circuit court the
rule is to change the venue to the
county court, and vice versa. This
rule keeps the cases in the county and
saves the large expense of trial out
side the county, but large number Of
cases are taken out of the county not,
Withstanding this rule, by. the party

YESTERDAY the assembly killed the
railroad taxation bill drawn by the
State Tax commission. The bill pro-
posed to increase the rate Of taxation
from 4 to 81 per cent. on the gross
earnings of the roads, which, it is es-
timated, would have taken an addi-
.tional $780, 900 per year out of the
Golfers of the railway corporations,
who are now paying into the state
treasury about 81, 800. 900 per year.
