oner Of state and precious hostage, first at
Toulon, then at Pau. and finally and for the
longest period. in the splendid old chateau
of Amboise, famous in French history. the
greatest of the show castles of the Loire
district in the Garden of France. There
tourists are still shown the Gothic hall on
tie second floor that served as his prison.
Abd-el-Kader lived in his Gothic hall and
walked the terraces of the ancient French
kings during some five years, treated like
a prince and lacking only liberty. Then.
d'etat It seemed that 1t would be a decora-
tive thing to liberate Abd-el- Kader. To
make the act OF clemency as telling as
possible, Napoleon III went and did the
marshals. statesmen and mobiles and dele
cation of chiefs from Alglers. Tunis and
Morocco.
1t was a subtle move and did consider
able good to France with all those unfor-
getting people. Abd-el-Kader was allowed
to retire to Damascus, where he lived
out the rest Of his days on pension of
10000 per year. paid him by the French
government. To the day of his death he
was venerated as a saint; and his influence
in protecting Christians throughout the
orient was well worth his pension. He
wrote a book worth any mans reading. 1t
has been translated into French by G. Du-
gat and is called THE Book of Abd-el-
Kader: Reminder to the Wise, Warn
ing to the Indifferent" He was by far
the greatest north African of the nine
teenth century. He had pale complexion,
a delicate nose. large blue eyes with long
black lashes and long and silky beard
His hands and feet were excessively small
and delicate. He always dressed in simple
white and never put on style.
Abd-el-Kader was the first and last great
opponent of the French in north Africa;
and his name remains so venerated in the
land that the memory of his heroic failure
has always discouraged other risings. For
the rest, France long ago adopted for good
and all the policy of Lamoriciere-of ruling
from above by winning the personal graft

which its former owner conducted many
experiments in agriculture, horticulture and
arborculture. Since his death the house

Abd-el-kader fled to Morocco, where he
preached the holy war with such success
as to arouse the whole population and ac-
tually force the sultan, Mouiey-eu-Rah-
man to declare war on France. The army
of Morocco was modified and ready to
march on Algiers when the Prince de Join

Giers. Al the same time General Bugeaud
crossed the Morocco frontier with an army
OF mixed troops and sixteen cannon. In
the celebrated battle of Italy he routed
the forces of the sultan-estimated at OoO
men.
All the same, the untiring Abd-el-Kader
continued a guerrilla war against the French
for three more years; but at last, perceiying
that no hope remained for his land, he
threw up all personal considerations and,
on Christmas day. 1S47, surrendered his
sword to Lamoriciere.

BLACK SPOTTED TROUT.
First Eggs OF This variety to BE Rcceitcd
Here Now in Aquarium's Hat cherry.

There are now In the troughs Of the
Aquarium's fish hatchery $4,000 black
spotted trout eggs, the first eggs Of this
species ever received here. This ia also
the largest lot Of trout eggs ever placed
In the Aquarium's hat ching trou CHS at one
time. and it is the last lot to be hat in
the present season. These eggs came from
the United States fish hat cherry at Spear
fish, S. d.
The black spotted trout came origina lily
from the streams of the Yellowstone Park
region. 1t resembles the ia iliar brook
trout. except that It has black inst cad Of
colored spots. and its spots are larger than
those of the colored spotted trout, some of
them being as large as pea. while at the
same time they diminish in size toward the
tail and have more regular arrangement.
The black spotted trout attains weight
of a pound and a half to two pounds, and
it's natural home is in small strea ms. 1t
is a great climber; it goes up falls and dams
on it's way to headwaters, with ease.
The period Of incubat ion Of black spotted
trout eggs il about ninety days. The
eggs now in the Aquariums troug CHS were
we'll advanced when received and some
little fishes have already emerged from
them. All are expected to appear in the
course Of the next week or ten days.
