The Eternal Wilderness.

Yes, that is true. We still have our
''unmanstifad" places. And there
shall come to us a wilderness here and
another there, where now there is
none. For everything moves in cir
cIes-which is not at all a new dis
covery-and the man who today la
ments a dearth of the wilderness may
live long enough to find himself one
day welding an ak as dull as the pen
he now bewalls with-and forty miles
from a grindstone We shall not re-
monstrate with the writer's who are
picturing us going to eternal smash
for want of tall timber. Their work
is not without it's good effect in stay

recreation grounds, and we are con
tent to watch the willy old wildern ess

vancing army of invasion, reaching

claiming her own, building anew her

with fruits (excepting figs, dates and
bananas), and with vegetables, such
as spinach, string beans, egg plant,

also that those overfat from a too rich

THE FINGERS OF CALICO.

Florence is excited over the fingers
of Calico 1t appears that when the
great astronomers body was admit
ted to sepulture in the Florentine
church of the Holy Cross, in 1877,
Vincenzio Capponi, a prelate cut off
with his own hand, the two fingers
which had written so many beautiful
things" In other words, he stole the
right thumb and forefnger, while an
other finched the left thumb, which
at last is now in the F1orentine mu-
scum, while the two Capponi fingers,
passing, on the migration of the head
of the family to France, to his stew
ard, are now in the possession of his
daughter, an old woman of "a, who
seeks to relieve her self from poverty
by selling them. She had had offers
from an American, but having the in
discretion to publish them FIorentine
patriotism rose in arms, and now d.
mand that the fingers should join that
already in the museum. Worse still,
payment for them is refused and pro
ceedings have been taken to compel
the poor old woman to hand them
over.

POSER FOR THE PROFESSOR.
Philosopher LeEturing Before Class is
Embarrassed by Student.

A professor in philosophy was lee
turing upon Identity" and had just
argued that parts of whole might be
subtracted and other matter substi-
tuted, yet the whole would remain the
same, instancing the fact that, al
though every part of our bodies is
changed in seven years, we remain the
same individuals.
Then" said a student, ''if l had a
knife and lost the blade and had a
new blade put in it would still be the
identical knife?"
Certainly" was the reply.
"Then, if I should lose the handle
from the new blade and have another
handle made to fit it, the knife would
still be the same?''
"That is So" said the professor.
"Then, in that case triumphantIy
rejoined the student, IF I should find
the old blade and the old handle and
have the original parts put together

FILLING STREAMS.
Railroad Distributes MinnoWs, CT
operating with Governments.

operating with Governments.
Philadelphia, Sept. 28.-Early N
this year, the Pennsylvania railroad
undertook a rather novel experiment
that Of assisting in stocking the
mountain streams of Pennsylvania
with fish. The experiment has
proved so successful that hence
forth it will be continued with in
creased vigor. The company, in this
work. is cooperating with the United
States government and the state
government of Pennsylvania
More than 10000 minnows. none o.
them more than an inch long, have
been turned over to the railroad hy
the state Of Pennsylvania. The state
department of Fisheries did not have
enough money at its command to dis
tribute properly all the fish it had to
dispose of, and when all the clubs and
individuals that wanted any had ia
ished putting in their applications it
/ looked as if the other thousands
would have to be thrown away.
The state fish commissioner made
a proposition to the Pennsylvania
railroad and it was accepted. Once
determined to stock the streams near
their lines with fish the PennsyI-
vania officials got into communication
with the national government and OBJ
tanned more fish though a smaller
number than they had secured from
the state. Then the distribution was
given into the charge of the division
suporintendents in whose territory
I were streams suitable for trout.
/ The 10000 fish that the railroad
company received from the state had
( just been Matched, but these that
/ came from the United States govern
ment hatchery at Wytheville, Va.
were grown to the size of two inches.
! They-the state and national fish
/ were shipped in ten-gallOn cans, be-
tween 800 and 400 fish to a can. The
streams selected for stocking were
in the mountains around Altoona.
! The man who has a can of fish to
distribute does not throw them in
haphazardly as one might. suppose. 1t
is careful process. The distributor
( takes the can 10 a quiet pool in the
head waters Of Bald Eagle creek, for
example. Then he dips a little water
out of the can and substitutes for it
some Of the water from the stream.
This is repeated over and over again.
so that the temperature of the water
/ in the can is changed very. gradually.
Finally the vessel is lowered gently
into the creek and turned upside
/ down
! 1t will take three years for the fsa
/ to grow to maturity, and then those
| that haven't died will be from 6 to 10
! inches long. Before the three years
is up, though, many more fish will
have been distributed in the same
way by the Pennsylvania. It is ex-
pected that the scheme will result in
/ developing a very fine line Of fish in
the streams of the Allegheny noun
! tains.

he sent letter to the county court,
setting forth his reasons for this
claim declaring that the Pabst Brew

RARE EXCUSE FOR
BANK FAILURE

Philadelphia, Sept Except
from very rare and exceptional causes,
such as sudden panics or runs due to
false rumors, there is never any rea.
sOnable excuse for the failure of 4
bank or trust company" said William
B. Ridgley, comptroller of the cur
rency, in an address yesterday, before
the Pennsylvania Bankers association.
1T is almost always the result of in
excusable folly and incompetence or
dishonesty and fraud, and often due
to all of these combined. When a
bank does fail, it is the fault of the
board of directors. Many others may
be to blame, perhaps more than the
directors, but the final responsibility
of bank management rests upon the
directors, and they are to blame, that
is, the whole board as board and the
members as individuals are to blame
if they allow the officers or perhaps
only a few Of the directors, to so
manage the business of the bank as
to bring on insolvency. It may be
the president or cashier who commits
in detail the acts or crimes which
wreck a bank; the directors may be
entirely ignorant of what is sbeing
done, but it is their fault, if they al
low themselves to be kept in ignor-
ance or to be deceived and thus per-
nit it to be done. 1t is the duty of
the directors of a bank to keep them
selves informed about its business and
to so direct its affairs as to prevent
its failure"
