The Predatory Carp.

The State Fish O commission is now
trying to undo the evil that former
State Fish Commission did when it
imported lot of German carp and
stocked the rivers, lakes and ponds
with this fish. Under the supervision
of the State Commission, over fifteen
tons of carp have been taken from
the waters OF this State recently.
The German carp is poor edible fish.
1t is also a bad neighbor for edible
fish, and prevents their propagation
by devouring their spawn. The Leg
islature several years ago passed an
act forbidding the placing of carp in
the waters of the State. and since then
a desultory warfare has been carried
on against the species. In time, it
is hoped, the carp will disappear from
our waters, and then the bass, pike,
pickerel and trout will multiply un-
der good fish and game laws.

San Francisco, Nov. 13-The steam

been found who dared to go into the

President Cabrera of Guatemala has
resorted to the most stringent means to
prevent particulars Of the extent of the

in the afflicted districts are finding the
greatest difficulty in getting the most
meager reports
The Newport brings news Of the total

These places are completely buried in
debris from Santa Maria. Rethalhuleu,

lucky Juniors travelled far and wide
over the United States from Texas
to Canada, and from California to
Maine. A very few Juniors crossed
the ocean, either on a trip abroad
or in coming to America from for
eign homes. All varieties OF
scenery were represented: the ever
changing ocean, vast prairies with
flaming sunsets, deserts, snow
capped mountains, inland seas, and
all the varying scenes between.
These trips were interesting for
all sorts of reasons, principally for
the beautiful scenery. Charming
people were met, strange sights
wondered at, and there was beauty
everywhere. In nearly every case
the most interesting trip seemed,
as one Junior said ecstatically,
