Listening to the Fishes.

For listening to the noise made by
fishes in the depths of the seas, a Nor
wegian inventor has devised telephone
to be lowered overheard from fishing
boats. With this he claims a fisherman
can detect the presence of fish, their
numbers and even their kind. Herrings,
or smaller fish, when they come in large
numbers, make a piping, whistling
sound, while cod make a roaring noise.
When they come close to the submarine
telephone the movements of the indi-
vidual fish can be distinguished. The
instrument consists Of a microphone
in a hermetically-sealed steel box. 1t
is connected by electric wires with
telephone in the vessel above. Every
sound in the water below is intensified
by the microphone and conducted by
the electric wires to the telephone

short Of Its usual cotton crop this year.
Excessive rains, followed by drouths
OF several weeks duration, rust and
the boil weevil have all combined to

that he believes the loss from last

million bales, the estimate made at

If you are not prepared to fight the

tual farmers have paid enough to mort
ga&ees in Texas to have bought half

a crop mortgage will generally cost
just one and a half times as much as
one bought with the almighty green

through all the thinge you buy that

He thought that the authorities would appreciate the fact that it don't do horses any good to let them out to be driven to fires, and that as long as he did not receive the sprinkling con- tract he felt that he did not care to furnish horses to be driven hard when a chance to bid on another public job was denied him, and it is stated that the party who received the above named contract refused under any consideration to furnish horses to be used in going to fires. As for the town purchasing horses at this time, it IS stated that this is not feasible idea at the present time, as there is no place to keep horses and it would be wiser to wait until the new Hose house is built. These matters which win be handled by the borough board at no distant date and iG the meantime the firemen will do the best they can with the facilities furnished them.
