Shad Becoming Extinct.

United States Commissioner Of Fish cries,
Geo. M. Bowers, says in his annual report,
that there is grave danger that shad will
follow the way Of the bison and wild
pigeon. He says Under the conditions
which haye been becoming more and more
pronounced, the run Of fish for spawning
purposes has been practically wiped out in
many Of the most important streams, and
unless the State promptly takes some action
by which fair percentage Of the shad may
reach their spawning grounds, the future
for this fish is gloomy.

OUR RAILROAD CROSSINGS.


I On invitation Of a resident Of the First
Ward representative of the DEMOCRAT
viewed the North Woodbury. crossings after
dark Monday night, that at Broad street
and at the railroad station.
We felt we were fairly acquainted with
conditions there, and had ne idea of see
ing anything new. We knew the crossing
was dangerous one, that three railroad
and two trolley tracks were side by side for
long distance, no more widely separated
than the law requires If there is any law
for such cases. But we found that daylight
conditions there bear slight relation to the
conditions at night.
The trolley comp any maintains little
bunch Of lights at the Park avenue crossing
and there is fagman there, but the Broad
street crossing fifty feet further Dorth, is in
total darkness, except for the reflection Of
city gas lamp some distance away. Az one
views the maze of tracks and the maze OF
fences, painted the color Of highland sees
the narrow, dark passage our farmers teams
must pass through to gain the turnpike be
yond, we could not but feel that a special
disposition of Providence had even thus far
lnterposed to save life at this point, for il
seemed to us that the railroads had used
much ingenuity to complicate the dangers
there.
The crossing there is over the line OF ths
turnpike company and we are not informed
whether the people have any rights in suct
cases, but surely somebody ought to protect
and protest strongly, against the, maintain
ance of death trap on a public highway
that is trayeled as this one is.
At the railroad station there is another
dark crossing with no fagman. A feebl'
gas light is fifty feet distant. As we watch
ed it, carriage approached, one man walk
ing at the horse's head while one occupied
the seat, whip in hand and lines held as TO
4 instant violent action.
Our opinion is that these crossings ough
not to be permitted to remain as they ar
for a single night. There ought, at least t
to be light, and they ought not to be per
mitted to remain as they are moment be
yond the time necessary toschange them.
We know that life is cheap, that chile
life has been judically valued at S., bu
amid these prosperous times our farmer
ought to be protected-at least till they ge
their crops off.

Balloons for Eye Treatment.
Special Cablegram to The Star.

PARIS, June 14.-Dr. George Bull, the
celebrated eye specialist. agrees with DR..
Daulnoy in thinking that many diseases
of the eye may be relieved by treatment in
balloons at heights OF 1900 to 5000 feet.
In an interview. Or. Bull suggested that
the balloon cure might be popularized.
II would recommend" he said, 'sthe in
stitution of captive balloons outside all
theaters and art galleries. Nothing could
be better for the hea1ache brought on by
the atmosphere Of theater or for the
strain on the eyesight by much picture
gazing than an ascent Of nay. $500 feet.
1.-THE purer air at such an altitude and
the effect OF watching diminuf4ve objects
on the earth 5000 feet below would do the
eye great deal OF good.
