THE GROWTH OF TROUT.
Age, Food and Temperature Seem to
Have No Bearing on Size.

Age, Food and Temperature Seem to
Have No Bearing on Size.
The Salvclinus fontinalis, which is
currently but inaccurately called brook
trout, was supposed for many years to
be a small fish. Agassiz was largely
instrumental In exploding this fallacy
1t is not an uncommon thing for an
angler with ordinary luck to get a six
or seven pound trout Of this variety.
1t is known that a trout may grow to
weigh eleven or twelve pounds. There
Is, however, great difficulty In account
ing for its variation in size.
In northeastern Canada there are
large streams and lakes in which only
fingerlings have ever been found. In
the Immediate vicinity Of such water
three and four pound trout are quite
common. and seven and eight Founders
are not phenomenal. In all these wa
tiers crustacea do not abound; there are
no small fish of any kind except small
trout. ALI the fish are pure fly feeders.
At some places, 1t is true, frogs abound,
but, taken as a whole, the difference In
food supply is not an adequate expla-
nation for the difference In growth.
There is no substantial difference in
the waters as to temperature, size, ORR
gin and course. Climatic conditions
are the same. The small trout taken to
virgin lakes in which there are 10 fish
have sometimes grown to a great size,
have sometimes remained small and
sometimes have not thriven. The an
glers who has~+ -',ssa waters have not

A TAIL TIGER.
The Way the Sleek Brute Impressed
nn Excited Frenchrmun.

The WAY the Sleek Brute ITnpres2ed
nn Excited Fr~enchman.
Tigers are Impressive creatures, es-
pecially when one meets them in the
forest. George Maxwell writes of
them: There is little doubt that al
most every n has a peculiar sensa-
ton of the almost godlike beauty, pow
er, activity and strength of a tiger. A
TIGER will overnwe and make conscious
of his inferiority a man who would be
unaffected by the bulk of an elephant.
The feeii/s is, however, elusive Of de-
scription. and l can perhaps best ex-
plain it In the words Of u most charm
ing French gentleman who was once
manager of a great tin mining COM
pany in Perak. We had just finished
lunch when he entered in a state Of
tremendous excitement. Walking alone
and unarined along IN unfrequented
bride path through the forest, he had
walked almost on to q tiger.
He gave us d most vivid narrative
Of the encounter-how the tiger had
been lying down concealed in some
long lalang grass beside the path; how
he was within ten yards of it before
he saw 1t; how then it rose and looked
at him; how 1t yawned at him: how it
then walked slowly across the path In
front of him and then stopped and
looked at him. again yawning, and how
1t then deliberately walked away into
the forest. whose depths finally hid 1t
from view.
Some one asked the Frenchman
whether it was q big tiger. He nm
swered: Well. messieurs. l cannot say
II he is a big tiger. My eyes see that
he IL big, but / cannot say how big !
see him to be. and II l say how big it
is perhaps that l tell you a lie. But l
can tell you. messieurs, how big ! feel
him to be, and l a tell you the truth.
When he is standing there in front Of
me I tell you that l feel he is not less
than THIRTY feet high.'"-Exchange.

England has become alarmed e
the continued emigration of it's better
classes. Many of these are now going
to Canada but the United States, South
Africa and Australia continue to swal-
low up tens of thousands a year, leav-
ing at home the needy and incompe-
tent. The population of England a
increased 81 per cen since 1850, n
yet there has been a relative as we'll
as an absolute decline in the number OF
persons employed in numerous OF the
principal industries. For instance, the
lace, silk. wooden and linen worsted
trades, instead of employing 100000
people, rs they did in 1850. now employ
but $4,000. In the cotton and BOOT
and shoe trades there has been a de-
cline of 100000 employees in the time
named, While the loss in agricultural
pursuits has beer 9O7, 1000. Here is a
total loss of 100000 workers. and this
loss has been accompanied by a corre-
spending increase in the amounts set
apart for poor relief.
According 10 statements published In
She leading British journals as com
ing from publicists and other compe-
tent observers, this significant decline
may be traced almost entirely to the
fact hat Great Britain is a free trade
country. The London Colonizer., the
leading paper of its class in the oun
try, says that the decline means that
"the cream OF the skilled artisans of
the country are becoming the principal
.emigrants" and 1t points to the wide-
spread belief that this condition is
due to "the difference in the trading
policies pursued by England n her
p-otecl onist rivals"

"BoWL AT IT."
A Sport yer by wisconsin Man
to Rival Bowling.

A game that Is planned to rival the
popular sport Of bowling is the latest
thing that has been patented to inter
est the large class looking for amuse-
ment, says a ST. Paul correspondent OF
the Kansas City Times. The game has
been named bowl at It, by the Invent
or, DIR. Franklin nj. Greer Of Mionna,
Wis, and will very shortly be placed
upon trial in the home town Of the in
yentor and also in st. Paul. h In
yentor does not contend 1t will take the
place of bowling, but says the game
will prove u great favorite with the Ia
dies and children and men who are un-
able to take up the strenuous work or
ordinary bowling. The game promises
to become a favorite at resorts, hotels,
clubs and Y. NJ. C. A. buildings.
The game is played OF an alley SINH
lar to the regular bowling alley, being
three feet wide and forty-two feet IN
length, and derives its name through
the fact that those who play the game
must bowl a ball at a large revolving
wheel ut the business end OF the alley,
or where the pins are placed In bowl
ing. The wheel revolves by means OF
an eight horsepower electric motor and
is fitted with hinged paddles, numbered
2, 4. g, s and 10. The balls, which are
four and one-half inches In diameter.
when rolled 1t the wheel strike the
paddles, and the ones hit are forced
back and up out Of sight, and the play
er is credited as indicated on the pad
dies knocked out of sight.
The numbers are SO arranged on the
wheel as to make 1t impossible for n
player, throwing three balls an inning
in n ten inning game, to make a score
higher than 800. The perfect bowler In
the new sport is required to judge the
speed Of his or her ball, the speed OF
the revolving wheel as well as the
curvature Of the alley, which Is of such
a nature as to conform with the wheel
SO as to bring five Of the paddles on the
alley before the ball at one time.
The balls as they pass through the
wheel strike a cushion back on the
wheel and return through a gutter to
the players, it being on a slight angle
for this purpose. The paddles sprung
by q player may be adjusted In the
wheel again by simply pulling a lever
ut the front Of the alley, doing away
with an attendant or pin boy.

Football Player Among the Utes.

Deafness. Cannot Be Cured.

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored
to it's normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out Of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.
