M. Bowers Reappointed.

The President has nominated and the
Senate confirmed Hon. Geo. M. Bowers.
of this State. to be Commissioner Of Fish
and Fisheries for another term. A
Washington City special says:
This is the first time since Mr.. Bowers
has been in Office that his name has been
sent to the Senate, and he was appointed
in 1895. The reason for this is there is no
term stated in the law creating the Office.
The president has been evidently trying
to establish precedent regarding the
tenure of Office as one of four years.
When Mr.. Bowers was first nominated
by President Mckinley there was con-
siderable fight over his confirmation, be.
cause it was claimed that he knew moth
ing about fish. Since he has been in of.
fee the work of the bureau of which he
is chief has been more than treblec, and
the restocking of the waters of the coun
try has proceeded at comparativei,
rapid rate.

Norxax,s seaweed.

"All along the coast of Norway sea-
weed is gathered and burned" writes
the Christiania correspondent of the
London News. "This seaweed grows
in veritable forests and Is not Of the
common grass variety. There are ac-
tual trees Of 1t, five or six feet high,
with stems like ropes and leaves tough
as leather. They begin to sprout ear
ly in the year and cover the ocean bed
with dense, impenetrable brush. As
source of income the seaweed indus
try now surpasses the fisheries, and 1t
Is more valuable than agriculture even
In one Of the leading farming districts
of Norway. Owners Of land abutting
on the seashore are reaping great
harvest. After the weeds have been
burned the ashes are exported to Eng
land, where valuable chemical sub
stances are extracted from them. The
most important of these products is
iodine"

A dispatch from Grafton says: The
gas well recently drilled on the George
w. Reynolds farm. near Pruntytown,
just below this city. by Hon. John T..
McGraw, was shot Yesterday, with the
most satisfactory results. Sixty quarts
of nitroglycerine were used. The shot
was followed by terrific roar and great
cloud of sand and stones. Immediately
after the explosion there broke forth a
roar of rushing gas. which was estimated
by experts present to be at least six times
the pressure that was shown when the
gas was struck. The pressure is now
estimated at 5000. 600 feet for every "a
hours. an amount said to be sufficient
to furnish Grafton with fuel and light

Ruling Switzerland.

In Switzerland they have no idea
that they are essentially idiots and
must have great men and superior and
divinely gifted intellects to rule them
and tell them what to do about their
affairs. They do not think much Of
ruling" in Switzerland nor much Of
the idea of divinely gifted intelleets
All are great men in Switzerland, and
one is as great and as divinely gifted
as another. To the Swiss mind the
great men are those that do something
in science or literature, like Agassiz or
De Saussure; but they have no partic-
ular fancy to be ruled by anybody,
however great. You will find many an
intelligent Swiss that cannot tell you
the name Of the president of Switzer-
land He knows the name of the presi-
dent of the United States. always, but
he does mot know who is at the head
Of his own country. Not because the
interest he takes in his political affairs
Is small, for it is very great; but be-
cause who may be president of Swift
erland is not important. Whoever he
is, he amounts to nothing, he effects
nothing, he rules nothing. The only
rulers of Switzerland are the Swiss
peopfe.-Everybody's Magazine.

In addressing newly married couple
at wedding reception it is usual to
congratulate the groom and to wish
the bride great happiness.
1t is not looked upon as good form
to announce meal by the ringing of
bell That custom does very well for
a railroad station, but is now seldom
used in private houses.
When taking lady In to dinner or at
any indoor entertainment man offers
his left arm, but In the street he must
always take the outside, no matter
which arm he has to offer.
The expenses incident to wedding
are, with few exceptions, borne by the
family Of the bride. The groom's ex-
penses, with the exception of flowers
and souvenirs for the bridesmaids and
ushers, begin with the fee to the clergy

The greatest known curiosity Of in

ed at least, is to be found in the queer
''parasol' or umbrella" ant, so COM
mon in all parts of tropical America

mon name by which the creature is
known has been bestowed because of
a queer habit this species of ant has of
stripping certain kinds of trees and
shrubs of their foliage and carrying
the leaves to their nests. An army of
these ants which have been off on
foraging expedition present the queer
est sight imaginable as they march in
long columns by twos, tours and skies.

jaws, the leaf itself shading the little

carried leaves for the sole purpose of
protecting themselves against the rays
of the tropical sun, but investigation
shows thet they have another use for
the bits of green they gather. The
leaves are only wanted as soil upon
which to grow certain species Of
fungi of which the parasol ant Is very
fond.
