A statistician has learned that the
annual aggregate circulation Of the
papers Of the world is calculated at
1900, 100000 copies. To grasp any
idea of this magnitude we may state
that It would cover no fewer than TO-
$50 square miles Of surface; that It ID
printed on 1880 tons Of paper, and,
further, that II the number, 10000 1000.
900, represented, instead Of copies
seconds, 1t would take over S33 years
for them to elapse.
In lieu Of this arrangement we might
press and pile them vertically upward
till gradually reaching our highest
mountains. Topping all these, and
even the highest AlpA the pile would
reach the magnificent altitude Of 400
miles, or, In round numbers, 800 miles.

FrOsts Kills Fishes.

Fish, like any other creatures, must
have oxygen to breathe. Only they
don't use 1t In the form of air, as we
do, but get 1t dissolved in the water
they swim In. Now the supply in
water Is constantly renewed by the
water absorbing air and dlssolving II
In itself, but this process Is, Of course,
stopped, when, during severe winter,
the whole sheet of water freezes over.
When this occurs the fish have to de.
pend on the water left beneath the Ice,
and II the frost lasts long enough and
there are no air holes, the poor crea.
lures are suffocated, just as were the
victims Of the Black Hole Of Calcutta.
Indeed, In a small pond this sad fate
does actually sometimes 0vertake the
fish. In larger lakes or rivers. how.
ever, air holes, artificial or caused BY
springs or currents, are sure to exist,
and around these the inhabitants of
the water always congregate In large
numbers. Canadian fishermen take ad.
vantage Of this fact to make huge
catches during their long and severe
winter by fishing with lines through
artificial holes.
Remember, though, II you have a
small fish pond of your own to break
the Ice every day in severe frost, or
you will be likely to lose all your fish,
and have to restock altogether the next
summer. Dace and roach and carp
will last much longer without fresh
DIR than trout or pike.

RICH MEN IN THE SENATE.
DIVISION OF OPINION AS TO
THE RICHEST ONE.
Said TO Be Fewer Very Wealthy Non
Now Senators Than For
Number Of
Years,

A correspondent Of the New YORK.

member of the United States senate.
He kindly estimates Senator Jones'
fortune somewhere in the neighbor.

of Senator Jones' alleged riches has
been to fill his mail with begging let.
tiers and promoters schemes. II they
keep up he will think seriously, 1t Is
said, Of sending a bill to the newspaper
which started the story for the add.
tlonal expense 1t has cost him. The
truth Is that Senator Jones, 20 years
ago, was rated as a millionaire. He
was at one time worth probably
$5,000,0O0. He subsequently lost his
money, however, and while he is by
no means broke at the present day, he
Is a considerable distance from being
2 millionaire. He has property that
may be worth q great deal some day,
and It may not 1t all depends. but 1t
Is not bringing him in any revenue
now. There are at least 25 or 30 sena-
tors who are great deal better of
from a financial point of view that
Senator Jones.
If one were asked to pick out the
richest man In the senate 0ff-hand he
would probably name either Mark
Hanna or James Mcmillan, Of Michi- |
gan. Some Of the other milllonaires in
the senate are Henry Cabot Lodge Of
Massachusetts,, Redfeld Proctor Of
Vermont, Nelson W. Aldrich of Rhode
Island, Thomas G. Plat Of New York. |
Stephen B. Elkins of West Virginia,
Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio, Charles W.
