PRODUCTIVITY OF FISH.
If Not Destroyed by Enemies They
Would Soon Fill Seas.

If Not Destroyed by Enemies They
Would Soon Fill Seas.
The productiveness Of some of the
species with wrich this world is PEG
pied is almost staggering in its amaz
ing amount, says the New York Tri
bune. If it were Tot that, by the work
| ings of the laws under which animal:
multiply on the face of the earth, the
destruction of forms of life keeps
pace with their birth in proper proper
| ton, the world would soon become
uninhabitable by oyercrowding. Feed
ing on one another, the relative mum
bers are kept in adequate relations
but from the number of enimies who
lie in wait for some animal forms the
wonder is that any survive to the age
for parenthood and the propagation OF
their species.
De Morgan. in his Budget of Para.
doxes," observes:
Great feas have little feas upon their
backs to bite 'em,
And little fleas have lesser feas and
SO ad infinitum.
And the great heas themselves, in
turn, have greater feas to go on /;
While these again have greater still
and greater still, and so on"
But not to insects alone is the amaz-
ing productivity confined. In fishes
it may be observed % a remarkable
degree. Button, the great naturalist
Of the eighteenth century, estimated
that pair Of herring left undisturbed
to breed and multiply for a score Of
years would produce, by successive
spawnings, a quantity Of fish that
would equal the entire mass of The
great round earth. But the cod is re-
garded as the most prolific of the
denizens of the sea and it is estipat-
ed that one female will produce AS
100000 eggs in a single season. A fe-
male Goldfish has been found to have
9,500,000 eggs in her roe. A careful
estimate of the eggs found in female
eel caught in Scotland in 1890, which
was two pounds In weight and thirty
two inches in length, showed that her
ovary contained 100000 eggs.
The roe was twelve inches long in the
eel and when opened out extended
thirty inches, or nearly as long as ube
entire eel.
Some OF the figures in regard to
other fish are these: In a sturgeon
100000 eggs have been found; in .
founder, 1857 900; in a roach, 1,127,-
000;in a sole, 1,000,0 600; in a perch,
1000; in a tench, SS3, 900; in a carp
$4,000; in smelt, $4,000, and in
herring, 10000. Making allowance
for the destruction of eggs and young,
it has been estimated that a pair of
herring in three years would produce
154,000,000 offspring.
Shellfsh are also exceedingly profit
ic. and with the aid of a microscope
120 little oysters, with shells have
been counted in the space of a square
inch, all lively and swimming about,
awaiting destruction by the enemies
which so numerously lie in wait for
than that the wonder is that men find
any on the half shell.
II the natural increase OF fish were
not checked by the enemies which lie
in wait for the eggs and the young

Weekly Report.
LOCAL RAINS PREVAIL

Montgomery, September 5-(SpeciaD.-
The week past was hot, but somewhat
cooler than the seven days before. The
cloudy days predominated and the nights
were rather above the average so far as
temperature goes.
These facts, and others, are shown in
the weekly summary of Alabama weather
issue yesterday as follows:
THE first three days of the week were
generally cloudy and the remainder partly
cloudy Scattered showers occurred
throughout practically the entire week.
but they were very unevenly distributed
and were mostly light. However, in the
northeastern quarter of the state some
locally heavy falls occurred. In the great
er portion of the southern half of the
state the total amount of precipitation fell
very greatly below the normal, and nearly
all correspondents speak of the need of
rain.
1.-The mean temperature for the entire
state was 81 degrees, or about normal,
and degrees lower than the mean for
the previous week. The 2Sth and 10Th
were moderately cool; the weather be-
came somewhat warmer toward the end
of the week. but there were no decided
changes, and considering the whole week,
the temperatures may be said to have
been quite uniform The nights were rath-
er warm-warmer proportlonaly than the
days"

ture and rainfall at selected stations:

PRESIDENTS GUESTS.
Political Situation In New York state
Is Canvassed.

Oyster Bay. September 5.-President
Roosevelt had as his guests today Rep
resentative Littauer. Chairman cortelyou
of the republican national committee and
Lyman H. Bass of Buffalo. It is under
stood both the congressional campaign
and the situation in New York state were
thoroughly canvassed.
After the conference Mr.. Littauer en-
phasized again the fact that the President
has most keen interest in the outcome
of the congressional election. and also
that while he has determined to take
no active part in the state situation he
is very DESTROYS that the right thing be
done by the party in Strengthening out
its tangle.
While Mr. Littauer admitted that the
state situation was discussed, he said
he was not at liberty to announce any
conclusion reached.
1t is apparent to every observing man
in the state" he said, that the situation
today is such as to demand the advent
of man big enough to entirely ignore
possism' a man who could administer the
AFFAIRS of the state as governor with A
master hand and who could command the
vote the republican party needs independ-
ent of fractional opposition. New York has
had ten years of republican rule. The
state has prospered under that rule and
there Is no doubt that a large percentage
of the young voters of the state are re-
publican In their inclinations. What the
party needs is the nomination of a man
for governor who can unite all the re-
publican votes of the state. OF course. the
work In hand Is to find that man."

tate, which she alleges was wrongfully
taken from him. Several hundred thou
sand dollars are involved In the case
Shortly after the suit was entered, no.
tice was given that the deposition of
Mrs. Chadwick In the penitentiary would
be taken because she was known to have
had dealings with Mr. Friend, and it was
said that she had knowledge of the bust
ness transaction between Friend and

hands of Judge John D. Shafer, and a
bitter fight will be made when the time

Judge Wing was formerly Mrs. Chad
wiclS's attorney. According to the testi-
mony, Mr.. Friend engaged Judge Wing
to go to Columbus and see Mrs. Chad

ence her not to make disclosures of his
dealings with her. and which were thought
to have bearing on this case. Attorney
A. Leo We'll for Mrs. lutte in examina-
ton had Judge Wing practically admit
that he had threatened that Mr.. Friend

FACTS IN NATURE.
Not Only Do We Get Inspiration From
Nature, But Health as Well.

For people who are rundown and nerv-

Natures most valuable health giving
agents are to be found In forest plants
and roots.

now consulting physician TO the lnvailds'

extracting and combining certain medici-
nal principles from native roots, taken
from our American forests, he could pro-

those who opposed him. The Tribune
does not believe there is any reason
for the Herald's narrowed feelings and
fears. If Judge Knauf has resigned,
as the Herald states, then Judge Fisk,
in the event that he is appointed be-
fore the beginning Of his official term,
should make haste to qualify and the
supreme court will be enabled to re-
sumo it's work, which has been much
interrupted in the past few months for
various reasons. The failure of Judge
Fisk to qualify until after the first of
the year will be politics Of the plain
est description. 1t would seem that
when so much has been saidof a non
partisan Judiciary and the duty of
judges in general, there would be
some practice as we'll as precept and
that Judge of the COURT, elected to
begin his duties at a certain time
would SO begin them, regardless OF
any other considerations than the laws
and the interests of the people of the
state. We must believe that Judge
Fisk will so act in case he is appointed
to succeed Judge Knauf in the in.
term before his qualification for the
term for which he was elected, and if
he does not do so then we must con
slider that there is a game of politics
being played in the interests of some
democratic candidate for the district
judgeship in the First district.
