Freezinr Fish For Market.

Only the largest and finest salmon
are put through the various processes
which prepare them for shipment to
the East without curing. They are
first thoroughly washed and cleansed
and laid upon large trays which are
arranged in tiers, one above the other
in a room kept at very low tempera-
ture by refrigerating machinery. The
men wear winter clothing, mufflers
and mittens. When a truck load OF
trays is ready it Is wheeled into the
freezing room, where it remains about
thirtysix hours. The cars are then
wheeled into the packing room. Here
the fish are placed upon n large eleya'
tor or dipping machine and submerged
in vat of cold water. They are then
allowed to stand for a few minutes
and q thick coating of ice is formed
around each fish Next they are
wrapped separately in heavy paper
and packed in boxes, which are put
into refrigerator cars and shipped to
the markets of the world.

A GOOD MOVEMENT.

There seems to be q movement on foot
to induce factories and various other es-
tabli shments TO locate in the District OF
Colu mbia. With view of giving en-
ploymen to the surplus labor of the city.
1t is good idea and If those that locate
here are kept as neat and clean as An.
drew Loefier's factory on Brightwood
Avenue there will be no complaint. No
butcher ever kept neater or cleaner
place than he. Cleanliness is rigidly en-
forced in every department of his bust
ness which accounts in a measure forthe
wonderful demand for his sausage and
other pork products.

MOST PEOPLE LoPsIDED.
Differences Between the Legs, Eyes and
Ears OF Men and Women.

Differences Between the Legs, Eyes and
Ears OF Men and Women.
The two sides Of a PERSONS face are
never alike. The eyes are out Of line
in two cases out Of five, and one eye is
stronger than the other in seven per-
sons out Of ten. The right ear is also,
rule, higher than the left.
Only one person in fifteen has per-
feet eyes, the largest percentage Of de-
fects prevailing among fair-haired peo-
pie. Short sight is more common in
town than among country folk, and Of
all people the Germans have the larg-
est proportion Of short-sighted persons.
The crystalline lens OF the eye is the
one portion of the human body which
continues to increase in size through
out life and does not cease with the
attainment of maturity.
The smallest interval of sound can
be better distinguished with one ear
than with both The nails of two
fingers never grow with the same ra-
pidity, that OF the middle finger grow
ing the fastest, while that Of the
thumb grow the slowest.
In fifty-four cases out of a hundred
the left leg is stronger than the right.
The bones of an average human male
skeleton weigh twenty pounds; those
Of a woman are six pounds lighter.
That unruly member the tongue Of
woman, is also smaller than that Of
man, given a man and a woman of
equal size and weight 1t may he APP
palling to reflect, but it is nevertheless
true, that the muscles of the human
jaw exert a force of over 500 pounds.
The symmetry which is the sole in
telligible ground for our idea Of beauty,
the proportion between the upper and
lower half of the human body, exists
in nearly all males but is never found
in the female. American limbs are
more symmetrical than those Of any
other people. The rocking chair, ac.
cording to an English scientist, is re-
sponsible for the exercise which in
creases the beauty OF the lower limbs.
The push which the toes give to keep
the chair in motion, repeated and re-
peated makes the instep high the
calf round and full, and it makes the
ankle delicate and slender.
British women are said to average
two inches more in height than Ameri-
cans. Averages for the height Of wom-
en- show that those born in summer
and autumn are taller than those born
i'm spring or winter. The tallest girls
are born in August,
AS far as boys are concerned, those
who first see the light during autumn
and winter are not so tall as those born
in splng and summer. Those born in
November are the shortest in July.
