FEcUNDITY OF FISH.

In a chapter on the artificial cultiv-
alton of sea fish, contributed by r. B.
Marston to Af1alo's British Salt Wat
er Fishes" it is stated that there need
be no fear that such important fish as
the cod and the herring can ever be-
come extinct or even reduced in num-
bers by man, except locally. A cod
of ten pounds has a million eggs. On
July 26, 1895, Professor Henson calcu-
lated that there must be over 278, 000,-
100000 of impregnated cod eggs in each
square Norwegian geographical mile
of the surface of the Skagerrak. Con-
sequently the 300, 100000 or 400, 900, 600
eggs artifieially Matched and turned in
annually from Norwegian hatchery
are only drop in the ocean.

E. W. Quinn's friends are warm in
the advocacy of his election in the
Fourth. They describe him as a citi-
zen of good principles and habits, as a
man who pays his debts and as a
mechanic who helped break up the
plumbing trust a few years ago and
who believes in good government. He
is the only representative on the ticket
of skilled labor and as such has a right
to expect strong support.

How to harness the static electricity
about the summit of famed Pixies Peak,
and TO divert the now wasted energy to
the operation OF the cog wheel road up
the mountain, is the problem upon which
engineers are now at work. From re-
cent experiments, it is believed that the
electricity can be transferred to the base
Of the peak, and there stored, in such
quantities that the road can do away
with steam power. II this problem is
solved successfully and the change made,
one Of the greatest electrical engineering
feats in history will have been accom-
plished, and Colorado will be its birth
place.
