square quadruped, and, as IS custom;
oTv with square duadrupeds, has its
Iccrz-at the four corners. II you wan!
to nIease this animal you must stroke
II ON the back. If 1t Is very much
pleased It sets up its tail quite stifl'

Study Of the speed Of dsbes e ems
barrnssed By unfavoEnble dificulties-
It Is not possible as with birds, to set
MP tai poles at intervals OF a quarter
Of mile and, with the help Of stop
watches, time them as they go by.
Nevertheless investigation Of the sub
Ject goes to show that the mnckerel II
not the champion racer Of the briny
deep, comes pretty near 70 carrying on
the lonors. JJnquestionabIy II travels
sometimes as fast as an express trnin
at high speed-say, at the rate of sixty
or possibly seventy miles an hour.
Other things being equal, the larger
the fish the faster 1t swims, just as the
huge steamship Is able to travel Mt
speed much greater than the little har-
Dor tug. Undoubtedly the energy em-
p1oyed by a fish OF great size, such as
a thirty foot shark when travelling at
its best gait, is something tremendous
An ordinary tug, which represents
maximum OF energy In minimum OF
bulk, utiIizes about 200 horsepower.
OF course 1t is only a guess, but it
would not seem to be over the mark
to suppose that a seventy foot whale

propels its huge bulk through the wa
ter ut a rnte of thirty miles an hour.
A whale, which Is a mammal and not
a fish, might be compared to n freight
trnin if the shark is cannon ball ex-
PRESS but # can beat the fastest ocean
greyhound in n speed contest.
II there is a fish that can travel FIST

which can probably hit her up to the
tune of eighty miles an hour, IL pressed
for time Generally speaking, 1t may
be said that fnnY creatures which live
near the surface of the sea are swift
swimmers, as compared with those
that dwell In the depths. Thus the
cod, which is n deep water species, Is
sluggish and would stand no show
at all In a race with the ulackerel or
herring These latter, which are dis
tinctively pelagic, depend for their ~
ing upon their activity in pursuing
agile prey, and they must be quick in
their movements in order to escape
their own enemies
If the ma ckerel were as big as good
sized shark 1t would probably be tic
speed champion of the ocean. No fish
is better shaped for rapid going. Some
years ago yacht builder in New
York constructed slOop with n hEi
patterned exactly after the undertook
of a Spanish mackerel. She was calle,'
the Undine. and, If tradition does no
lie, she never was beaten. Like Che
fish after which she was modelled, she
had her greatest breadth OF beam for.

LIMITING HOURS OF LABOR.

The Supreme cGurt of the United
States has held that the state law
enacted by the state of New York
limiting the hours. is unconstitution-
al The court says that there is no
| reason for evading the individual
right or the individual free
dom in the bakers occupation, in
asmuch as health is not involved, nor
the peace Of the state. The court
leaves the inference that it would be
proper to limit the hours of labor
if there were any demand fer same
in the interest of the public; that the
public interest might justify an infer
ence. This decision is one Of the
most important that has been renti-
cred bv the supreme court in a great
many years. 1t practically says
that an individual can make his own
contract as to the disposition Ct his
own time and labor. The effect OF
the decision will be to overturn many
state laws cn the subject. Somehow,
the decision leaves one to infer that III
case of railway employees O. EN-
ploves in mines or in dangerous occu-
pations the law might be sustain
ed.
The Capital favors eight hours for
a days work, but we are net especial
ly concerned in regard to laws on the
subject. Just reforms progress with
out laws. An energetic man can dc
enough work in eight hours to salts
fv the demand. man who is not
energetic will net do a good lays
work anyway under any circumstan-
ces.
The decision on the part OF the
supreme court will affect the Colorado
situation. In that state the people
adopted constitutional amen 1n:ent
fixing days work in the mines
at eight hours, and the leeis'atni"
refused tc enact statute to put the
amendment into force.
1t is not believed the decision will
affect such cases as are covered by
city or state employees, the state and
city probably having the authority
to limit the hours of it's own work
men.
The decision will have the effect
Of bringing up the hours of labor for
discussion.
The Capitals motto is: "Work with
all your might for eight hours, ana
then quit. ."-Des Moines Capital.

THE MARRIAGE OF VINDIcArJoN.

Americans come rather nearer to
being a race of Puritans than any
other great people. Even the Scotch,
who are strict Sabbatarians and fierce
critics of one ancther's private lives,
are the reverse of Puritanical when
it comes to the use of orthodox Scotch
drink And the English, though they
frcwn on French lubricity, are mark
edly indulgent toward many forms
of registering and irregularity which
American public sentiment condemns,
says an exchange.
But would Englishmen, Scots,
Frenchmen or Spaniards propose mar
riage in drCves to woman like Nan
Patterson, who, whether she be
murderess or not has had most rep
rehensible career? asks writer in
the New York Mail We think not.
The American is, indeed. a strange
and Quoxotic person. His idea OF
expressing sympathy with any wo-
man who has had an unhappy expert
ence. whether she has deserved 1t OR
not is tc propose marriage to her. A
great many men evidently believe taat
Nan Patterson was gulltless OF
Caesar Young's blood. Believing her
thus innocent of this crime, they WIDE
all the rest of her career off the safe
and impulsively effer her their han
and heart.
A couple of years ago an lrlsh S1'l
in small Indianapolis hctel refused
IN make ND a bed in which Booker I.
Washington had slept and was
Hischareed by her employer. lni-
-mediatelv she began to receive Oh
fers of marriage from all over 'Ae
south It was the American way Oh
saving. You did right, girl, no
Govt If consideration was taken OF
the question of whether she was
otherwise fit for matrimony. r
-suitors merely wanted tc give ner 'llN
supreme vindication. We believe sh
accepted one of the offers.
If Mrs. Chadwick had ben slnsie'
it is scarcely to be doubted that iha'i'
men who regarded her as persecu'-
ed woman would have o1ered her
their hands in marriage. Under the
circumstances, it is hardly to be Won
dered that the proportion of matri,
monial casualties is considerably
higher in this country than 1t is any
where else in the world. There are
undoubtedly too many marriages for
vindication.

THE OLD GENTS JOKE.

.Fare'' shouted the conductor,
coming through the car one bright
day this week.
"What?" said an old fellow over
in the corner.
"Fare!'
Fair? Of course it's fair. Who
said it wasn't? What dc you mean
by coming in here bowling out some
thing everybody knows already, and
reioices in the enjoyment Of it? It's
eloriously fine for April, sir, and
there amt a man or woman in town
who doesn't know it. When ! left
home this morning.
"What do care for that? l said
'Fare,'"
well. l know you said it, Eever-
BODY in the car knows you said 1t.
They would not have to hire an ear
trumpet to get on to that lntornaa-
ton. sir. Indeed. they would have TO

ooh. give us a rest and pay your
fare!"
"Vhy didn't you say that at first
Here's vour money. If there is one
thing more than another I do like to
see il is a man who says what he
means. even if he"-
But the conductor rapidly went 10
the ton of the tram, while the old
man w;nked at the little boy on the
other side of the car and chuckled 10
himself-Londcn Tit-Bits.
