PUT DEVIL FISH TO SLEEP
Layer Of Salt on His Tail Induces
DrOwsiness-Novel Transfer
Scheme.

The steamship Bermudian arrived In New
York recently with a consignment of ten
tanks containing 290 specimens for the New
York aquarium. The trip was the most
successful ever made, the fish hunters never
figuring on losing less than 2 per cent of
the catch, but on this trip only one death
occurred on board, that of a huge cowhsh
A three-foot octopus, vigorous and
healthy, was the prize of the lot AS a
general thing, 1t has been impossible to get
an octopus out Of its tank without literally
tearing 1t apart. The monster has to be
caught unawares. for If the devilhsh sees
his captors make any attempt to touch him
he affixes the suckers of four tentacles to
the bottom of the tank and raises the
other four deiantly. A struggle to dis
lodge frequently ends in the octopus being
dismembered
On this trip, however. a happy idea en-
tered the brain OF the devilhsh keeper. He
decided to put salt on it's tail, or more
literally, IN its gill. This was done while
the octopus seemed to browse, and when
the specimen came to-" It found itself in
an aquarium tank. The salt, those who
know say. when breathed in through the
gills puts the ish into an unconscious con-
dltion, acting as an anaesthetic.
The greatest enemy OF the devilfsh is the
spiny lobster. A tank OF these was plsced
alongside the tank of the octopus. Intui-
lively the occupants of the two tubs knew

SEVERAL ROUTES TRAvERsED IN WYOMING

Notwithstanding the march of civiliza-
tioG AND the elimination of the western
frontier. there are still vast stretches of
territory In the west that are now passing
through a stage of development that we
are accustomed to think of as associated
with the epoch between the landing of the
pilgrims and the surrender Of Yorktown.

inevitable commonplace over portions of
this progressive republic large enough to
make eastern states or to be erected into

SOME LIMITS OF THE Law
Legislation Cannot Accomplish All the
Pure Food Reforms.
MUNICIPALITIES MUST CONTINUE vIelLANT
Too Much Reliance on the National
Government May Cause Disap-
pOintmcnt-Demand for the
Government Label.

The probabilities are that the people Of
the United States will expect too much
of the new meat inspection law. and will in
time express disappointment because 1t has
not brought all the results looked for.
Possibly the Same thing may be said of
the pure food law. Government officials
observe a widespread tendency among the
people everywhere to assume that because
congress passes a corrective law evils com
planned Of will al be speedily corrected
by the legislation. Students of this ten
dency of the people toward the paternal
idea suggest that sooner or later the in
habitants of this land will have to come
back to the old-fashioned doctrine that
they must take care of themselves. The
new meat inspection law. and the new
pure food law will help, but they will not
do 1t all. The danger is that states and
municipalities will assume that the gov
eminent has relieved them of responsible
ity and will cease to exercise their own
functions properly.
Agents OF the Department OF Agriculture
who have been going about the country
doing some work preliminary to the en-
forcement OF the meat law find the general
impression TO be that after the meat in
spection law goes into full effect. every
piece OF meat which leaves a packing
house or slaughter house in the United
States will bear a brand or label, "U. g.
Inspected and Passed" Even state and
municipal authorities in some parts of the
country are already proceeding on the as
sumption that they have nothing more 10
do with seeing that the people they serve
are provided with wholesome meats. Evil
IDENTIFY II will take the country a good
while to realize that the inspection law
applies 10 meats designed for interstate
or foreign commerce only. Maybe. in time
federal inspection will reach meats and
meat products not designed for Interstate
or foreign commerce by consent: II will
not reach such products this year and
possibly not for several years.
Demand for Government Label.
Government oficials believe that the in
evitable effect of the law eventually will
be demand from consumers that all the
meat they purchase shall have the gov
eminent stamp on IT, When the act goes
into effect the first of October every piece
OF dressed meat. every ham, every pack
age OF bacon. every can OF lard, every
package of meat food products. IN fact.
every article OF food OF which meat forms
part, whether In a barrel. box. can or
canvas sack, must bear the government
stamp before a railroad will accept IL for
shipment for a point outside the state in
which II was prepared. Presumably the
output Of the large packing houses will
all be inspected and labeled without any

Much-Trave1ed Routes.

new gold mining camps of Nevada. Most
of these are of very recent origin

ably quick and not too expensive trans
portation to the mushroom cities OF the
Sagebrush commonwealth. Then many of
the famous resorts of Colorado, Utah, Ari-
