1t is being freely charged by the public
press that although the postofiice depart
ment at present is occupying the sole
attention of the inspectors who are inves-
tigating the corrupt practices recently
made public, if their search is extended
far enough, other departments will be
found to be just as badly in need of funi-
igation. But it is evident that too much
scandal has already been stirred up for
the Administrator good, and besides a
general house cleaning would be risky
business, as it would throw too many pie
counter politicians out of jobs who gave
their unsel6sh ~ support aud influence
for the success of the party at the last
election.

Geo. Fl. Moore, U. S. Fish Com.
missioner at the Battery, below
Havre de Glace, reports that al
though work was delayed this year
from various causes, the out put
was satisfactory compared with
work done at other stations. Out
of the total number of shad eggs
taken-lS,S1S, 900, 14,515,000 fry
were produced, the larger per cent
age of which were planted in waters
tributary to the Chesapeake Bay
From SO, 555, 900 perch eggs OBJ
tanned, there were 30,s63, 900 fry
hatched, and planted in the waters
near the station,
An interesting experiment was
made in the impregnating of shad
eggs with the milt of a wall-eyed
pike. The eggs were successfully
Matched, and the resulting fry were
strong and vigorous, and were kept
some days before being liberated in
the water near the station.
The result of this experiment will
be awaited with considerable inter
est, and if it grows a hybrid shad
that will possess the gamy qualities
of the pike, and rise to a fly,
anglers will have additional reasons
for seeking the waters of the Sus-
johanna, but any attempt to i'm
prove the food qualities of the Sus,
quehanna shad, must result in
failure.

stant's installing of port and star
board.

1t is difficult to imagine a more ter
rible situation than the p~aradoxical
one of burning in the midst of a vast
expanse of water, but this condition
is often presented, and, in fact, during
some Of the mighty naval engage
ments was deliberately created by the
fighters engaged.
This condition was strikingly pre-
scented in the destruction of the arma-
da Of Philippe H., which went out
against the English in 1888 and took
refuge in the port of Calais. The
English pushed huge floats of fire to
ward the armada and in the same man
ner fire was hurled at the enemy in
the form Of red hot cannon balls. The
ships of wood, catching fire, eventu-
ally blew up.
Such vas the fate Of the Orient at
Aboukir in 1898, when Admiral Nelson
defeated the French fleet that was
carrying Napoleon and his troops to
Egypt. On board the Orient the men
were making their last desperate
stand, the dead were lying about in
heaps and the wounded were more
numerous than the still uninjured
fighters. All around them was an IT,
ferno Of shot INC shell. They heard
nothing, saw nothing, they simply
fought on with the fury of insane des-
peration. The commander, Brueys,
mortally wounded, raised himself up
and cheered his men on to work. The
men had hardly responded when the
volcano let loose inside the Orient did
it's work. There was an explosion
that shook the sea, and then the
flames went roaring up through the
sails and rigging of the doomed ship.
The whole battle scene was as light
as day, every detail being brought out
in the red glare OF the burning vessel
The smoke hoated over the scene like
a huge vulture, and for the moment
the entire combat ceased, the guns
were silenced and the two fighting
forces paused In their work of slaugh-
ter. Then came the finale. There
was a deep, sullen roar, and the ORR
ent leaped into the air and fell back
into the water a mass OF wrecked
timbers. Black darkness shrouded
the scene that an instant before was
a glare OF light, and 900 men of the
Orient were buried in an ocean grave.
Only 60 men escaped.

Red Color in Battle.

The number of soldiers slain in bat
tie depends a great deal on the color
Of their uniform. The more conspicu-
GUS the helmet and jacket the better
the target, and consequently the great
er the mortality. Red attracts the y
most readily, and twelve men wearing
that color are killed to seven in rife
brown, blue-grey, or grey.

Fat Man Who Was Subjected to Many
TrVinu Questions. %


Trying Questions. V
The fat man is subjected to various
a%nnoyances, which multiply and make
life a burden to him if he becomes
very stout.
In a country town, an immensely fat
man, who keeps a restaurant, was
asked SO many uequestions about his
stoutness that, to obtain a partial rest,
he published the following statement:
II weigh 345 pounds.

II cannot tell you how much longer /
an going to get fat.

There were forty-ive more answrs
to questions that were put, or might be
put, to the stout mar every day. His
last statement read as follows:

AMERICAN WOMEN SCORED

New York, Nov. 2.--American woman
is declared to be dangerous. abnormal
type, In an article by II. b. N. Wat
Won. published today by thu" Nineteenth
Century" says Herald dispatch from
London. From the writer's point Of
view, American feminity is little better
than whited sepulchere.
eThe character Of the American
woman Of today" he says, rs pro-
duct partly Of racial modification and
partly of the social condition Of n COM
mercial age. We have many opportunl-
ties OF studying the American woman,
for she has undertaken 10 annex as
much Of Europe as practicable and has
succeeded very fairly. II is considered
by the taste of the day quite creditable
that some pork packers dollars from
Chicago should buy coronet In May
fair. Evidence that American women
are deliberating turning their back on
natural laws have accumulated of re-
cent years.
1T would seem that. while the Am
erIcan man unnaturally devotes all his
days to money-making. the American
woman as naturally devotes her days
TO pleasure. Whereas the average
woman acted as beast Of burden to
her lord, the American man works like
a beast Of burden beside his triumph
Ing lady. Unless American civilization
alters 1t would seem to be doomed"
