SCIENTIFIC MIRACLE.
Natural Formulation of Eggs Re-
placed by the Action of Car
bonic Acid Gas.

In a paper recently read before the
Academic des Sciences, M. Yves Delage
states that he has made a series of ex-
periments upon artificial formulation
of eggs of some of the inferior ami
mails, particularly marine specimens,
and has been successful in certain
cases. In the case of some species he
was able to replace the natural fe-
cundation by the action of carbonic
acid gas. Non-fecundated eggs which
were treated with sea water charged
with the gas were observed to de-
velop normally. 1t is to be remarked,
however, thai all the eggs are not
adapted to develop by this process. To
do so it is necessary that the eggs
should be in the act of performing a
certain physiological function which is
required for all eggs to render them
capable of formulation. This action
consists in the emission of polar
globules." The eggs which have al
ready completed this function are no
longer sensitive to the action of the
carbonic acid. This latter phenome-
non he observed in the case of sea-
urchins. M. Delage states that at pres
ent he is able to sensitize these eggs
being developed by the action of car
bonic acid. This he accomplishes by
shaking them up in a closed vessel and
heating them to 80 degrees.-Scientific

FISHING UP OR DOWN STREAM.
The Method Most Popular with Elk.
perienced Anglers Who Whip
the Streams.

Fishing up stream has many advo-
Gates who assert that, asrtrout always lie
with their heads up-current, they are
less likely to see the fisherman or the
CLINT. of his rod. whenthe casts are made;
the discomfort and fatigue accom-
panying wading against strong rapids
is amply repaid by the increased scores
secured; that the flies deftly thrown a
foot or two above the head of a feeding
trout float more lifelike down the cur
rent than those drawn against it by the
line, when they are apt to exhibit mus
cular power which in the live insect
would be exaggerated and unnatural,
says Outing.
On the other hand the down stream"
fisherman is equally assertive as to the
value of his method. He feels the charm
of gurgling waters around his limbs, a
down current that aids rather than re-
tards or fatigues him in each successive
step of enjoyment in his pastime; as he
casts his so or more feet of line a-down
the stream, he is assured that he is be-
yond the ken of the most keen sighted
and wary trout; that his artificial bugs,
under the tension of the current scanning
it from right to left, reach every square
inch of the SWIM" as English rodsters
term likely water, and, coming natural
ly down stream, just the direction from
whence hungry trout is awaiting it,
are much more likely to be taken than
those thrown against the current with,
doubtless, a foot or more of the leader
dropping and bagging before the nose
of trout with dead bug, soaked and
bedraggled, following slowly behind.
Old anglers, when fishing rapid stream,
have learned to adapt their methods to
the physical condition of the water.
They have adopted both methods, fish
ing up the pools and down the rapids,
thus avoiding the great fatigue in wad-
ing the latter and the chance of the trout
seeing them in the more quiet waters of
the former

KILLING CROWHEAD DUCKS.
One Pecngiarity of the Birds That
Makes Them Easy Prey to
the Market Hunter.

The last of the game birds to arrive
is the crow-headed duck.
Every year when the first real snow
storm is on, up from the Atlantic, 800
miles away, comes the battalions of
these curious birds. Properly speaking
they are not ducks at all, but are of the
species known to ornithologists as
Xema ridibundus, and to the fishermen
of Labrador and the gulf as laughing
gulls, says Lachine report.
They are now being shot in consider
able numbers about the Lachine rapids
and wherever the water is swift enough
to create foam. The crowheads appear
to spend most of their time upon the
wing and alight only where dead fish
and other debris of the water are gath
cred. When feeding they are careful
to post sentinels, and are hard to ap-
proach.
To the knowing ones, however, they
afford good sport, and large bags, dur
ing their flight They invariably trav-
Ell in a single line, in extended order,
the leader some 20 yards in advance OF
his company of from 25 to rs.
So perfectly do they maintain theiI
alignment that at times a good, quick
him, will find that he has covered the
whole rank, and will bring down sew,
eral of them at once One experienced
rifleman killed five with one ball last
year.
The men who know most about it,
namely, those who supply the markets,
try no fancy shooting of that kind.
! Their aim is directed at the solitary
| leader
Directly he falls, the two tanks of
the advancing line close in, circling to-
ward their fallen captain, and the flock
settle down in a close bunch about him.
| There they will remain, floating down
! stream with his body, while the gun
ners pour their shot into them. A
! young fellow who went out to try the
sport with a ten-bore and cartridges
loaded with No. shot, came in within
five minutes of sighting his first flock
with IS specimens, all he cared for
killed by four shots.
The crowheads are exceedingly hand
same birds, jet black, with snowy
breasts, and. are about the size of the
ordinary gray duck. In their flight
they resemble the duck rather than the
gull family.
When properly prepared they are by
no means unsavory, and are said to
be bought up in quantities by the no.
tells, where they are doubtless served
out to guests as black ducks.
Just why these salt water birds
should travel so far inland at this sea-
son of the year is not easily explained
One theory has it that the course OF
their migration is from east to west
and that by way of the st. Lawrence
and the Great Lakes, they are on their
| journey from the Atlantic to the Pacific
coast
The long trip is by no means i'm
| possible to birds of their strong fight
| though so far as is known their return
by the same route in the spring has
escaped observation.
