NATURE IN THE OCEAN.
Creatures DevOuring Each Other to
Prevent Decentralization

Prevent OverprOductiOn.
1t is estimated that the cyclops will
beget $4,000 young in the course of
the year, and if these were all permit
ted to mature and reproduce them
selves the seas would in a short time
be a simple mass of living organisms.
But the cetochilus, or whale food"
constitutes almost the exclusive food
of the vast shoals of behring's and the
sea living salmon and salmon trout.
Their existence is one of the greatest
economic triumphs of nature. for these
minute creatures scOur the sea of its
refuse and keep it sweet. while they
form the food Of fishes, which in turn
furnish wholesome food for millions Of
human beings.
Feeding on dead vegetable and ami
NAL matter, these entOmOstraca are
converted into the food fishes of the
world by one remove, being first assim-
Hated by the behring's. then absorbed
by the funny, cod, mackerel and other
fishes which follow herring shoals and
prey upon the latter. They mainly
swim on the surface of the water, and
1t Is the search of them in this position
which brings the shoals Of behring's to
the surface. Their countless numbers
are also augmented by the microscopic
larvae of fixed shells. such as the bar
nacle, which begins life in this form
first as a one eyed swimming crusta-
cean, then growing pair of eyes and
finally affixing itself.
In rivers these larvae are the sole
food Of all young fish and often also Of
older fish. In early spring the crea-
lures in every stage-eggs, larvae and
perfect though microscopic entomOs-
traca-swarm in the water, on the mud
and on the water plants, and were 1t
not for natures provision for keeping
them In check so rapid would be their
rate of multiplication that the whole
character of the water would speedily
be entirely changed.

TONS said the mayor, in explaining
his new plan for municipal ownership
of the slaughter houses.
There is no reason why a large city
like Chicago should not operate an
abattoir, where all cattle should be

Europe successfully and should be pos
sible here. 1t would be place where
the packers would bring cattle and
sheep to be slaughtered by the munich
pal authorities and they would, of
course, have to pay for the mainte-
nance of the plant.
THE only question is that of funds.
1t would require great deal of
money to establish such a plant, but if
there is any possible way, I think it
should be done. l shall advocate it
and shall confer with members of the

in consequence of that inexperience
disposed to stand a bit in awe of the

aware of the extent of her ignorance
in household matters. She ordered on

sure of, and she made her interviews
with the tradesmen as brief as posi-
