SEA FISH IN FRESH WATER.
Experiment Tried I'm Germany Proves
Marked Success.

Experiment Tried I'm Germany Proves
Marked Success.
An interesting experiment that may
have far-reaching results has just been
brought to successful termination in
Germany. 1t has been proved beyond
question that deep sea fish can be ac
climated and will live and breed In
fresh water.
A number of different kinds of fish
were taken from the sea, including
whiting. herring. sole and founders,
and placed in a pool Of salt wafer. The
percentage of salt was then gradually
lessened by the addition of fresh water
until finally no salt remained.
Practically no material difference
took place In the fish, which were rs
lively and healthy after the treatment
as when they were taken out OF the
sea.
So encouraging has been the result
after q test extending over several
months that deep sea fish are now be-
ing introduced into rivers and fresh
water lakes In various parts of Ger
many. What changes may take place
in the nature and habits of the fish re-
main as yet to be seen, as does also
the question of their market value.
The complete success of this expert
ment will completely change the fishing
industry and will prove an especial
boon to communities far removed from
the seaboard. An American who has
lived for any length of time in the Mid
die West. where he Is equally remote
from both the Atlantic and the Pacific.
knows how greatly deep sea fish are
missed as part of ones diet.

No child is happy without his gaiiy
colored Easter eggs and as rule he takes
great pleasure in preparing them himself
for his friends In the early days in
England it was not alone the children who
treasured them. An exchange of eggs at
Easter was customary between ''valen-
tines especially. that is, between the
youth and maiden who had chosen each
other as sweethearts for the year on st
Valentines day. The egg thus bestowed
was thought by the maiden worthy to be
kept in an ale glass on the highest shelf
of the cupboard, and the girl who passed
through several seasons of popularity be-
fore achieving matrimony had goodly
roy OK ale glasses with their gaily colored
contents to exhibit in proof of her youth.

The decoration of these eggs was very
primitive when compared with that of the
elaborate ones offered to-day. many OF
which no self-respecting hen would recog-
nize After being boiled hard they are
dyed with the juices of plants. Boiling
when wrapped in an onion skin gave a
notified effect pleasing to connoisseurs
of shat time. In the case of the valen-
tine ones, a monogram arrangement was
effected by heating the egg and then writ
ing upon it with tallow. After the dye
had set the tallow was scraped off and

that in three years from their birth
