THE GROWTH OF TROUT.

Age, Food and Temperature Seem to
Have No Bearing on size. Q"
The salvelinus fontinals, which 10
currently but inaccurately called brook
trout, was supposed for many years to
be a small fsh. Agassix was largely
instrumental in exploding this fallucy.
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 trout may grow to
weigh eleven or twelve pounds. There
is, however, great dinaculty in account
Ing for Its variation in size.
In northeastern Canada there, nre
large streams and lakes In which only
fngerlings have ever been found. II In
the immediate vicinity Of such water
three and four pound trout are quite
common, ana seven and eight Founders
are not phenomenal. In all these wa
ters crustacea DO not abound; there are
no small fish Of any kind except small
trout. All the nsh are pure fly feeders.
At some places, 1t is true, frogs abound,
but, taken as whole, the difrerencesin
food supply is not an adequate e1pla-
nation for the difference in growth.
There Is no substantial difference In
the waters as to temperature size, ori.,
gin and course. Climatic conditions
are the same. The small trout taken to;
virgin lakes in which there are no fish
have sometimes grown to great size,
have sometimes remained small and
sometimes have not thriven. The an.
glers who haunt these waters have not
yet found n satisfactory explanation,
Of this peculiar condition of things. II

Meanwhile the note tells Its own tale
and saves me from explaining to my
visitors that this picture cost so much, ,
as most other rich men do.
"The chief pleasure Of these collectors
appears to arise not from the beauty Of
the work, but from the cost of 1t; then
why not have checks or bank notes for
large sum hung on the walls as do!
Besides, md that 1t Is much more In
, tefesting to my visitors, for most of
them look long and carefully Mt the
bank notes who would but glance ut

there was no soup, but sovereigns; for

The overcrowding of street cars
has become such serious grievance
in Chicago that Coroner's jury, sit
ting in the case of a boy who was
clinsing to a car when he was struck
and killed by another car going in an
opposite direction, has gone so far as
to recommend that the police arrest
and have fined persons who board
cars already over crowded. Chicago
appears to have an ordinance to stop
,evercrowding, but it is defective in
that 1t fails to define clearly what an
overcrowd is. A new ordinance has
been prepared, and Mayor Dunno,
believing that the city transportation
problem is no longer question of
public comfort but of public danger,
is urging its immediate passage. 1t
is expected that Councils will pass the
measure this week. To prevent over
crowding, the ordinance limits the
number OF passengers car may carry
to one and one-half times its seating
capacity. 1t also provides that the
platforms shall be kept clear.

THE NEWSPAPER FOR ALL

The McKeesport News makes some
remark which everybody ought to be
acquainted with, but which some have
yet to learn "The newspaper is for
everybody and hence must publish
something for everybody. If you see
something which is of little interest
to you, remember that there are others
and that the entire paper is not print
ed especially for you. The very thing
that is dull and uninteresting to you
may be the one thing in the paper for
some other readers. There are whole
pages in the daily papers that are of
no interest to some, but they are to
others" " 1t is very true that a news
paper which tried to please every read
er in every item it contained would
soon have very few readers.

ENGLISH SPORT.

II Abounds In Graft That Would sNst
De Tolerated Here.
If there is any man ON this earth,
white or black. who insists that his
expenses in competitive sport must be
no drain on himself, that man Is the.
Britisher. And he Is quite right. An
amateur should be neither In nor out 4
dollar. 1t is entirely proper that his
club, his college. his association or such
collection of bodies as he represents
should pay his legitimate expenses
when he is sent to compete for that
college or club or association or union.
England goes much farther and gives
much more latitude in the matter Of
expenses than we do. In cricket for,
example, amateur" players In England
whose services are desired for tho
county championship series are liter!

No graft of this kind could e1isSf1A

HELP THE CLERKS.

the shop clerks are engaged in con-
certed effort to PERSUADE the general
public to do its shopping early in the
month. In New York the wives of the
labor unionists are being systematical
ly asked to make their purchases not
later than the 18th. The idea is to give
the clerks little less strenuous time
during the last ten days of the pre-

one. Can it be initiated to any extent
in Danville? How many are willing
to try?
