TRAPS SET FOR ANGLERS.


A young New York fisherman who
went into northern New Hampshire to
try his luck early last summer ran
across a new way of enforcing game
laws. The New Hampshire statutes
make 1t an offense to have in ones pos
session trout under six inches in
length. but the New Yorker didn't know
this, says the Sun.
he was returning by train from good
days sport, when the conductor, after
taking up his ticket, stroIled back and
started a conversation. He asked the
fisherman what luck he'd had, and finally
asked to see thecatch.
The conductor looked long and care
Iully at the fish. Finally he said:
Young man, I'm Z game warden OF
this state, an some o. them fish are
under size. I'll have to measure them"
And measure them he did, finding that
nve were under length. 1t cost the young
ster $25 and costs to settle the bill with
the state, and part Of that sum went
10 the game warden conductor.
The fisherman didn't know the II ck
OF the native. who. when be hauIs out
trout that's under length cuts on the
tail and defles the warden to tell how
long It was when caught.

KATYDIDS KILL cRANBERRIEs.
bnt New Jersey Growers of the Frui,
Greet the Black Snakes with
Pleasure.

Cranberry growers of New jersey
are complaining of the ravages OF
swarms of katydids. which are yery
destructive to the bogs, and there
seems no way for the eradication a
the pest. As this is about the OILY wav
in which the queer insects are da.
structive, no one has ever suggested
means for their killing.
The growers are equally anxious To
cultivate the companionship of all the
blacksnakes they can find, and they
will not permit anyone to kill such .
snake. The reptiles are very fond of
field mice. and as the little animals arr
harmful to the growing crops. the
snakes are permitted to roam a.

the growers even suggest sendinx Ia

Ground Tax to Pay.

One reason-the chief one, perhaps
THAT Americans have never taken to
Hhouseboating with any great enthusi-
asm is that it is slow way of living
and amusing ones self. AS one man
who tried it and gave it up said: 1T
Is too irritatingly peaceful" Never
theless, says the New York CONNER
cial Advertiser, it is comparatively
Inexpensive way to spend a summer
out of doors. and to many persons it
appeals more strongly than does a
camp In the woods or q bungalow at
the seaside. But it isn't exciting. The
initial cost Of the houseboat is the
greatest outlay. A carpenter will
make one for about $500 or 81 900, un-
less you prefer to go to houseboat
builders and purchase outright, or put
an advertisement in paper for q sec
ondhand one. Contrasted with cot
tage, the houseboat has these adyan-
tages: No taxes, little care, little re-
sponsibility and changing scene to
suit conditions and inclinations.

THE MAD MULLAH.
NaAomet Abdileh, the Second BIahdi
- SOmaltland, who Has Been
Tr0ubling England.

The name OF Mahomet Abdileh con.
veys little to English ears. but never
theiess 1t is that of man who has q
very wide reputation, and whose an
pearance In the newspapers is an every.
oay occurrence, says ST. James Gazette
AS the Mad Mullah of Somaliland. Ma
nomet Abdileh is well known. But lit
/ Tie Is known Of this second Mahdi
whose influence over the warlike tribes
OF Somaliland has caused SO much
trouble and expense to the government,
He was born of poor parents, owning a
few cattle in the southern portion of
Somaiiiand. In his youth Mahomet
was initiated into the mysteries of the
occult sciences and sorcery. These he
learned among the tribe of the Danakil,
which has always been renowned for its
magicians. A study of the Koran and
the Arab writings followed in the Mara
oout school. When quite young the fu-
ture Mullah was taken with the idea of
making the pilgrimage to Mecca, and,
not content with one journey, made the
sacred visit three or four times. His
object was to obtain greater reputa-
tion for holiness than that held by the
other pilgrims.
After his last pilgrimage Mahomet
returned to Berbera, but met with small
success in that commercial town. See
Ing no prospect before him but that of
remaining a poor begging pilgrim, he
determined to strike out a new line for
himself, and establish himself among a
powerful inland tribe. Here he made
his position secure by his appearance
OF holiness, his impressive airs and the
assurance with which he made his
prophecies. At this time and thereafter
the magic learned in his boyhood stood
him In good stead whenever his holi-
ness was not able to overawe his some
what turbulent followers. He assumed
the title Of Mullah (priest and heaven
sent), and even that of Mahdi (prophet).
overwhelmed with presents by his cred
ulous followers, Mahomet Abdileh soon
was among the richest of the land, and
with his riches his influence grew
apace.
HIS pride waxed very great, and one
day he ordered all the Korans of the
ordinary priests to he burned, saying
that he himself was the living Koran,
and that he was to be obeyed as new
prophet sent from Allah. Not content
with persuasion, the Mullah, following
ne example set by Mahomet the Great
threatened with death all those who dis
believed, and in following up these
'nreats caused the disturbances which
brought about the Somaliland cam
'aign- Possessing the power of calling
orth the enthusiastic support of the
rfbesmen, the Mullah has not had to

A NEW MILK PRODUCT.
1t IL Called Galaiith and IL Hard
Enough for knife Handles
and Like Objects.

At hygienic milk show in Hamburs
recently. there were displayed boxes
combs. knife handles. cigar holders an,
numerous other things which seemed L
have no special connection with th
main idea Of the exhibition. Some O
them. like chessmen, were elaborated,
carved, while others rivaled the rues o
marble. though Weighing much les
than that substance. Upon inquiry tn
visitor discovered that these object
were made out of solidified milk, o.
milestone. The technical nam
adopted for the material is "galalith.''
For Is or 20 years inventors have triet
to work up casein SO that 1t could b.
utilized in this fashion. In Germany
there is poor market for skinned
milk. What cannot be sold to the suga,
Nor milk factories is generally fed to pigs
and cattle. II substitute for ivory OF
ebony could be made out of it, there
fore, this refuse would become more
profitable. First one chemical and then
another was added, and at times the de-
sired qualities seemed to have been OBJ
tanned. Then this product would turn
out to be too brittle, or show tendency
to swell and warp when wet, or betray
some other deficiency. One of the
processes tried was the addition of for
maldehyde. a well known modern
germicide. but the method of combina-
tion was not successful.
The makers of galalith, 1t seems, have
improved on this last mentioned ex-
pertinent. They use formaldehyde. but
employ other chemicals also. The
American consul general at Coburg
says:
To produce material which could
be used for handles of table knives. they
proceeded as follows: Dissolved casein
was given dark color by the addition
Of SCOT. and, with the help Of metallic
salt (acetate Of lead) a slate colored
.precipitate was obtained. This was
mixed with water and the thin pap filled
Into cloth stretched over a frame.
The water becoming absorbed by the
cloth, the pap contracted into a uni
form. firm and dark mass. The latter
was placed in a solution Of formalde-
hyde, and after being dried a product
resulted which In luster and color was
equal to ebony. In this way raw ma
terial is produced which the inventors
have protected by numerous patents.
An advantage of the new product as
compared with celluloid is the fact that

LIME IN THE OCEAN.

AS the geologist wades about amonl

prodigious amount of lime segregated

ant marine life exhibited on all sides
Every pool, every rock, is teemins

says Mines and Minerals Most Of the
pools are lined with so-called "sea
moses" more strictly calcareous,
fernlike corallines of pink or purple
hues. the lime secreted by minute
polyps. In addition to this there are
many forms Of algae. or sea plants,
that secrete lime. Considerable mass.
es OF a structureless limestone are 50
formed in the bay of Naples.
Apart from the vast beds of sea
shells we know to be secreted in the
mud and sand. as well as those shells
like the abalone found under the
rocks, an enormous amount of segre
gated lime is represented by various
forms of crustacea, particularly OF
the worm or annelid family. incased
In tubes of lime. These tubes cover
the floors of caves. while the walls are
still more densely coated with limpets
and rock barnacles, while in the crev.
ices hundreds of little crabs crawl
about and menace you with suspi.
cious eyes and formidable claws, and
hermit crabs carrying their wheIk
shell home on their backs swarm in
the pools.
With such teeming superabun
dance Of lime gathering life, the min.
ing geologist no longer wonders at the
vast amount of limestone he meets
with in the marine rocks, in which
his blanket veins of lead and silver
are found. as at Aspen and Leadville,
