WHERE DO SALMON FEED?
A Question That Even the Fish Ex-
perts Are Unable to Satisfac-
tOrily Answer.

There is no family of fish more in
teresting than the salmon, and in no
other fishery have the benefits of arti-
fetal propagation been more clearly
demonstrated. The homing instinct Of
the salmon enabled the propagators of
fry to learn, at the beginning of their
work, that it was worth doing, writes
John Z. Spears, in Success. Salmon
Matched in any stream usually return
to that stream when they are ofspawn-
ing age. The propagators reared sal
mon to the size of fngerlings, marked
them. and turned them loose. In due
time the marked fish returned and
were caught in the home stream. 1t is
a curious fact, however, that, in spite
of the homing instinct, salmon are
found at the spawning season in the
brackish water at the foot of Alaskan
glaciers, where, it is believed, no fish
was ever Matched.
Another curious fact, learned
through marking the artifcially propa-
gated fish, is that a lingering weigh
ing from one to two ounces may grow
to weigh from two to ten pounds in
six or eight months, and in two years
r weight of 10 pounds has been reached.
The growth depends, of course, on the
food supply. But where salmon feed
ard what they feed on have not yet
heen learned. It's supposed that they
find small marine animals so numerous
in their deep-sea haunts that they
swim about "as If in a soup" Perhaps
the deep-sea haunts will sometime be
discovered.

NOTES ABOUT DRESS.
Pretty Suitings That Will BE POpulnr
with Fashions DevOtees
This Fall.

Advance specimens of various dress
fabrics to lac in fashionable use this
fall show many very attractive weayes
designed for tailor costumes, includ-
ing some remarkably pretty French de-
signs in delicate pastel color-blend-
ings. Among these are heather suit
ings. OXfords, and Meltonettes, silk
dotted, checked, and striped Saxony
woods, plain and fancy drap d'ete in
lovely weaves and colorings, indistinct
checks in delicately woven cheviots,
snowy Vienna-woven novelty goods,
genuine Scotch tweeds, English serges
and diagonals, and new creped cloth
in light fall qualities, which is in no
way to be COMPOUNDED with the crepons
of other days, reports the New York
Post.
Fancy waists will be quite as promi-
nent as ever this fall The use Of these
waists for even the most ceremonious
occasions has established them in
favor with the best-gowned women,
and the fabrics and garnitures used in
their construction for autumn use will
be beautiful. either in the flexible and
lustrous silks and brocades, in lace,
crepe de Chine. satin royal, or in soft
nets heavily garnished with rich ecru
lace bands and medallions. Vertical,
diagonal. and horizontal tucking, alter
mating with racheted insertion bands
Of lace or embroidery, will be made to
FORM both waists and sleeves. and
these wirbe varied by yoke, bertha, or
Rchu effects, by strappings or ribbon
held by ieweled clasps, long scarf ends,
surplice effects, ETC. A medley of dain-
ty accessories will be brought into use
by French and American dressmakers.
Black materials will be popular
through the fall and winter, and the
new importations include weaves in
costume cloths. silk and wool mixtures,
Examines, English whipcords, camePs'
hair serges, with shaggy glossy stripes
in raised effects, diagonals, brillian-
tines, mohairs, plain and fancy yoiles,
Henriettas in silk-warp and sheer all
wool combinations, drap d'ete, am
repped silks and repped woods, in both
fine and heavy cords. The mohairs,
Henriettas, faced cloths, and cheviots
are represented in different qualities
and prices, and possess a degree of dur
ability that is unsurpassed by nearly
any black fabric, save real English
serge, which, however, is much less
dressy in effect than the fner-woven
materials. Many other standard black
goods will very soon be displayed that
are in steady demand. both here and

IMPORTANCE OF ALASKA.
S,me OF the Many Changes which
Have Occurred In That Country
In Recent Years.

Since 1896 five events have occurred
that wholly change conditions in
Alaska for the better reports the
Engineering Magazine.
l. In that year the Klondike gold
discoveries were made, and in 1897
and 1898 a great rush to and through
Alaska began, resulting in doubling
of the population and in an output
of gold from the Yukon region to
date of SIS 100000.
2. In 1898 the Philippine islands
were acquired by the United States,
giving Importance to the direct route
Dlong the Alaskan coast between
North America and the new posses
sions.
3. In 1899 gold was discovered on
the beach at Nome, and this carried
10000 people to this part OF Alaska
and resulted in an output of $1,000
900 in gold annually, or more than
twice as much as all Alaska had pre-
viously yielded.
4.IThe Alaskan salmon fisheries ~
theiA infancy in 1896, have grown N

UNCLE SAM AS MISSIONARY.
How the UncIean Places in Cuba
Were Renovated by the Amer
lean Authorities.

Cuban cities, like Havana and San
tiago, previous to the Spanish war,
were great breeders of pestilence, and
menaces to the world. Now yellow
fever and smallpox have been practi-
cally stamped out, and the death rate
in the island has decreased one-half,
and was lower in Havana last winter
than in New York, says the Woman's
Home Companion.
In Havana an engineer corps insti-
tuted general system of houseclean-
ing. Every house in the city was
cleaned from top to bottom under the
supervision of American officers,
whether the tenant was of high or low
degree; remonstrances availed moth
ing. AS many as 10000 houses were
cleaned in one month. The sewer sys-
tenn was given equal attention; the
American authorities cleaused and re-
paired every foot of sewer. and did it
so thoroughly and scientifically that
not a man in the cleaning squads was
taken i'll.

A puppY,s RAPID GROWTH.
1evours Mrs. NewIy-Wed's Breao
Dough and becomes a BlOated
MOnstrosity.

A few months ago a young man
who is employed in one of the rali-
road offices of this city bought very
small pointer pup. The dog grew
steadily, but mainly in the head ana
legs, having no body to speak OF,
relates the Portland OregOnian. Inc
lady If the household, like many
newly married women, was making
thorough test of her husbands d.
gestive powers by baking bread for
the family. The pointer pup was now
taking on the appearance of a genu-
inc dog, and put in most of his time
looking for something to eat. ne
found just what he was looking 1or'
Mrs. Newly-Wed had placed pan
containing three loayes in the state
of dough under the kitchen sto"e
and had gone upstairs for a few MN
utes. Like many new bread ~ lkers'
she was generous in the use OF yeast,
land her bread was usually lighter
than i sponge. When she returned
the dough had been transferred from
the pan to the interior of the point
er, who was already showing signs
of distress. The yeast was getting
in it's deadly work, and gradually
the dogs body began to swell. The
head, which had formerly been the
most prominent feature of his make
up, was quite eclipsed beside tn"
bursting body. The legs looked like
toothpicks supporting a beer keg.
The poor pointer was now writing
in agony, and after several neighbors
had proposed various strenuous
measures, an application of saleratus
water brought relief

A DIAMONDS WORTH.
The X-Rny Can BE Relied On with
Absolute Certainty in Making
the Test.

In detecting a false gem from a gen
nine. the X-ray, says an article on
X-ray photography, in Leslie's
Monthly, can be relied on with abso-
lutte certainty. Diamonds, as is well
known, are pure carbon; and carbon,
which is opaque to ordinary light, is
transparent to the Roentgen light,
while glass. which is transparent to
ordinary light, is opaque to the Roent-
gen ray. On an X-ray photograph
of a real diamond nothing will show
but the shadow Of the gold setting.
An interesting experiment was made
recently in watching with the aid of an
X-rav machine and Horoscope, mo-
lions carried on inside of an Opaque
body. A goose was fed with food
mixed with subnitrate of bismuth salt,
which absorbs the X-ray. The pas
sage of the food down the long neck
of the goose could be plainly traced
by the moving shadow cast on the
horoscope screen.

BEAGLEs WE'RE TINY DOGS.
Diminutive CANNES of Ancient Breed
That Could BE Carried In

There is no question that the beagle
is very old breed Early Roman ac-
counts of England contain references

published from about 1880 to 1910 de-
scribe several varieties of hounds, in
cluding "the little beagle which may
be carried in mans glove" That
the miniature hound was extremely
popular at the time was evident from
Queen Elizabeth keeping a pack which
were also said to be small enough
to put in glove, says the Country

DOG WITH DIAMOND TOOTH.
PhiIad eIphia Canine That Was Taken
to a Veterinary Hospital for
Treatment.

A dog with a diamond set in one of
its front teeth was in Philadelphia
recently. 1t was here for medical
treatment, and during its stay in the
dog ward of a veterinary hospital up
town it astonished everybody with its
cleverness.
A French poodle, it had chic that the
nurses said was truly Partisan. 1t had
also innumerable tricks. You would,
for instance, say TO it: "Show your
diamond TOOTH" and it would curl
back its lip in such a manner that the
diamond would glitter.
The dog belongs to wealthy woman
of Trenton, n. j. She had the brilliant
set in its tooth two years ago. What
gave her the idea of this, says the Phil
adelphia Record, was undoubtedly the
sensational story, printed long ago, of
the blaze of diamonds that illumines
the mouth of Fitzsimmons, the pugil-

Each evening now at twilight,
Along the dusty street,
The drum's uncertain beating -
Keeps time for willing feet,
As past each open window >,
A motley ragged band,
Our.village boys go marching,
With Jamie in command.
They little know its danger.
Yet long to greet the day
When in the pride Of manhood
They shall march, march away,
In long and shining columns,
To fight on foreign land,
And win undying glory
With jamie in command.
'ldake ready" shouted the leader.
Each bayonet stick!
Now charger They heed the order;
Pell nell. at double quick!
"Al halt" the merry stragglers,
They make their mimic stand
But their loyal hearts are swelling,
With jamie in command
Now, wheeling at the corner,
The braves come slowly back,
Their tattered banners waving,
Torn flag and flour sack;
Now, as lion-hearted victors,
They wave each slender hand,
Ere they file again to conquer,
With jamie in command.
Oh, squad of ragged soldiers,
At play with death in life!
God grant that all your dreaming
May bring no other strife.
But If, for love Of country,
Red battle must be planned,
Give you the lives of heroes,
With jamie in command!
