Still Improving tho Telephone System.

The Walhalla Telephone Company is
Improving its system continually and the
service is being bcttered in every respect.
The latest move is the placing of an all
metallic circuit line from Walhalla to
Highlands, n. c. Work has been begun
and will be pushed forward as rapidly as
possible. From Highlands the next con-
nection will be with Victoria, N. c., from
which point branch limo (all-metallic)
will make connection with Cashiers and
Sapphire, N. G., and from there to Bre-
ward, Hendersonville and Ashevillc. The
entire line will be equipped with the
Swedish American long distance brdg-
ing telephones, thus insuring prompt
and easyspeaking service direct from
this or any other point on the line to
Asheville. Manager George l.. Wilson
expects to have this line completed in
about thirty days. The company is con.
templating putting in similar system
between Walhalla and Anderson, but
this will not bo fully decided upon until
the work on tho Walhalla- Highlands line
is completed.

There are many thousands of species
of fishes and naturally there is a great
diversity in their food. Nevertheless,
it Is possible to divide it into seven
distinct classes. Now, all the animal
life rests on foundation of vegeta-
bles. Plants store UP the vital forces
in the air and sunshine and pass them
on to the great army OF veSetnrians,
who in their turn yield them up to the
animals which live on flesh. One or
two additional steps may sometimes
be interposed, but the result is the
same. y caterpillar eats Il cabbage,
an ichneumon 1iy quarters her brood
on the caterpillar an insect-cating
bird snaps up the fly and bird of
prey pounccs upon the tiy-catcher and
finishes the story. The inevitable or
der Is plant, vegetarian, flesh-eIter.
The vast majority of fishes feed on
fishes or other animals found i'll the
sea. Probably, however. the vegeta-
rians are more numerous than are
generally supposed. For instance. all
the textbooks declare that the gray
mullet feeds on the living matter OBJ
tained by straining sand or mud
through its mouth, which doubtless is
true, but they do not go on to explain
that owing to the peculiar construc-
tlOn OF ltS tnfOlt larger DouleS are pre-
vented from passing into the stomach,
which Is not true. No amount Of let
ter-press will persuade Il Lands End
fisherman that gray mullet cannot or
does not eat senweed: he Is convinced
from lifelong observation that il does.
and the fact that the tish's stomach is
often found full of seaweed proves
that the fisherman Is right. Fishes
which undoubtedly catch and swallow
living prey are wont on occasion to
treat themselves to n dish of vegeta,
bles. l have just assisted at the post
mOrtem examination of Il Dream which
contained in addition to n crab large
helpings of two kinds of seaweed in
different stages of digestion.
But doubtless it Is fact that fishes
live for the most part on animal diet.
and 1t is obvious that this must con
sist largely of some other class than
their own. If fishes ate fishes only
the race would soon become extinct
Fortunately the sea is full Of life, and
for those which cannot or will not eat
seaweed there are worms innumerable,
jelly fishes, star fishes and sea urchins,
the great host living in shells. from the
oyster to the periwinlile and the lim-
pet, crabs and all other kindred and.
lastly, other fishes. The appetite must
be capricious, indeed, which cannot
find something to tempt it among all
this vast array.

JOINING TWO GREAT SEAS.
Project to Unite this Black and Caspian
Seas by u Canal

Project to Unite this Black and Caspian
Seas by u Canal
The fact that some time ago the Rus
sian government rejected the plan pro-
posed by two British engineers to un-
lite the Black and the Caspian seas by
Il canal does not, it seems, indicate
that Russia is opposed to such an en-
terprise, says st. Petersburg dis
patch. The matter has, in fact. ad
vanced beyond the condition of vague
project. The undertaking is one of CO.
lossal dimensions and requires for its
execution n corresponding amount of
preliminary investigation of levels and
water facilities. Such Investigations
as have been conducted hitherto with a
view to the construction OF the water
way have been for the most part the
work of private enterprise and their
results are not sufficiently definite or
trustworthy to warrant their accept
ance by the Russian government Off
hand. The Viedomosti asserts that the
Russian government will soon order
surveys of an exhaustive character to
be carried out in the belt lying be-
tween the two seas by specialists in
canal construction and when their re-
ports have been received the whole
subject will be reviewed and Il final
conclusion reached as to the expedien-
cy of the work.

Shallow Lakes for Fish.

Prof. Marsh Of Wisconsin. in speak
ing recently of the peculiarities of
Lake Winnebago. said that it is re-
markable for its shallowness. AL
though 1t is about twenty eight miles
in width. 1t has n depth of only
twenty-five feet. This is due to the
fact that the lakes outlet is constantly
deepening and that its inlet is gradu-
ally filling its bottom with sandy or
earthly deposit. But Winnebago's
shallowness makes it remarkably rich
in fish; indeed. it is one of the most
productive known. Shallow lakes al
ways have more fish than deep ones,
chiefly, perhaps, because there is more
vegetation on the bottom of the shall
low one. Vegetation does not flourish
in deep water.

shown the corruption in that body,

criticism and vituperation upon him,
but he persisted. Honest methods in
the police department were forced,
and civil-service principles were en-

Good Luck brings Bonus.

Foreign steamship companies have n
rule by which the pay of captains and
engineers Is increased where no acci-
dents occur for n year. On the British
steamship lines the captains receive
from 1900 to Il 200 year, without per-
qusites. If, at the end of the year, Il
British commanders boat has met
with no accident he gets a bonus. The
British lines think this system of re-
ward has tendency to make COM
manders more careful. The pay of an
engineer on the German lines ranges
from f24O to 1900 a year. The pay of
the British engineer does not differ
materially from these figures, but lie
also receives bonus If his engines
run without accident during the year.
