thousands OF the strongest testimonials from

SCIENTISTS have always been in
terested in investigating the germina-
ton OF animal life in isolated places
ana things, more especially in ex.
ciuded lakes aud ponds of water
Ihe appearance of animal atoms in
meats, prunes, and other ediblesare
accounted for by scientists, but the
information is little known to the
public. How fishes appear in waters
distant from any other source is to a
large extent still a mystery. A stream
in which not even a minnow is to be
p found may be. damned, and in the
course of time the pond becomes stock
ed without mans aid with fish of large
and choice varieties. The latest ex-
PLANTATION of this is in the discovery of
how an artificial pond was stoc ked
vita fish by supposed unknown means.
it could not be accounted for, until
an intelligent farmer gave the fol-
lowing story: Birds aud waterfowl
OF different kinds carried the spawn
of fish they had eaten, and in passing
over or stopping in the lake left
droppings and vomits, and thus gave
the eggs chance to hatch. 1t is
easy to believe that seeds of plants
are disseminated in this way, but it
Is hard to believe about fish eggs
which are much more easily digested
than seeds. But until a more reason
aole explanation is offered the old
farmers theory will have to stand,
we suppose. We might venture
another explanation for what it is
worth. We have time and again
seen live fish dropped upon the land
(and why not in ponds?) by fish,
? hawks or other piscato rial depreda-
tors, more often the case when pur-
sued by eagles or other large birds.
