Ultimate Fate OF Fish.

Fish never die natural death,
said an old fisherman who has OBJ
served as he fished. ''If they did
bodies of dead fish would be float
ing on the surface of the water about
all the while, because such bodies
if unmolested would have to float.
81 mean, of course, fish in nature
never die natural death, not tlsn
in captivity. And perhaps it should
not be called natural death that t1sh
in captivity die. Their environment
induces mortality that fish in their
native habitat would escape, and
these causes might be probably class
ed as among the accidents that carry
the captive fish off.
''If fish in their native element
were never molested 1 believe they
would never die. If they had suftf-
cient food, which would be impossi-
BILE if they no longer preyed on one
another, there would be no reason
for their dying. 1t was to prevent
such uninterrupted tenure of life
that all fish were made fiercely pre-
datory, if not remorselessly canni-
balistic, as many kinds are.
IA fish's life is constantly strenu-
Gus one and one entirely selfish. A
fish lives only to eat and to avoid be-
ing eaten. New York Sun.

A Moving Lake.

There are several floating" is
lands in existence we'll known to
scientists, but the. only wandering
lake we ever heard of is Lake Nor,
in the Cobb Desert, in Asia, which
phenomenon was recently accounted
for by the fact that the Tarim River,
entering the lake from the west,
brings down during the period of
high water late in summer great
quantity Of silt, which has the effect
of driving the lake, lying on the
level floor of the desert, toward the
southeast. But the summer wind,
drifting the surface sand and darken-
ing the heavens with dust, blows
generally from the northeast, and
it, too, tends to drive the lake before
it. The combined effect of the urg-
ing of the wind and the river is to
force the lake southward.-Marine

kissing In Public Not A Crime.

Magistrate Whitman was called
upon to pass on the question wheth-
er kissing in public amounts to dis
orderly conduct. The Court decid-
ed that it didn't if the girl was
willing.
/ James F. Higgins, clerk, was the
unwilling victim of this test case.
He was standing in a Second Avenue
doorway ON Monday night with three
girls, one of whom he was embrac-
ing and kissing, when Policeman
Stapleton came along and told Hig-
gins to "beat" it. Higgins didn't
like the idea. and refused, whereupon
he was locked up on a charge of dis
orderly conduct.
Court asked:
What did he do?"
He was kissing girl on the
street,
''Is that all?"
"Yes.''
''Is that a crime?" broke in the
anxious Higgins.
"Well, that depends" said the
Court, smiling. 81 don't think it is
unless the girl objects"
"Oh! but she didn't object" said
Higgins.
81 guess this young man was mere.

friend,' said the Court, ''and 1 don't
see anything wrong in that. I will

Mispelled Word Costs $3.50.

On motion of Lawyer Ralph W.
Skinner, Vice-Chancellor Stevens, sit
ting in Chancery Chambers, Newark
dismissed all the proceedings taken
in the divorce suit of Mary Fallett0
VS.. Pietro Falletto because a steno-
grapher wrote the word "delusion"
instead of "collusion" in an affidavit
made by the plaintiff and annexed
to her petition. Mrs. Falletto start
ed the suit in 1903, and in 1904 the
Court awarded her alimony and
counsel fees. Falletto was about
$3.50 i'll arrears. Under the laws of
New Jersey, an affidavit must bG
filed by the plaintiff in a divorce
suit that the suit was brought with,
out collusion with the defendant.
Lawyer Skinner pointed out to the
Vice-Chancellor that the word coll
lusion had not been used, and the
Court decided that the plaintiff would
have to start all over again. This
will relieve Falletto from the re-
sponsibility of paying his alimony

Weekly Review Of Trade and Latest
Market ReDorts.

New York Especially R. G. Dun
i& Co.'s weekly Review of Trade
says:
Adverse weather conditions has
made the season another week late,
both as to distribution of spring mer-
chandise and progress of the crops.
Transactions during the few days of
seasonable weather thus far indicate
that settled warm weather will bring
out much business, but so much time
has been lost that few merchants l.
ticipate normal volume in the a. :
gregate and large stocks will be car
ried over or sacrificed at bargain
sales. Wholesale trade in fall and
winter goods is brisk, large dupli-
cate purchases because of the cold
spring having depleted stocks in the
hands of retailers.
Manufacturing plants operate at
full capacity in most industries, cot
ton mills making remarkably favor
able returns in view of the weather
and cost of raw materials. Dis
patches from leading cities indicate
that the business situation is much
more satisfactory at points in the
West than in the East or South, es-
pecially favorable conditions prevail
ing at Seattle and Portland. Few
serious labor struggles are now in
progress and more advances in New
England mill wages will extend the
benefits to 100000 hands.

Curious Chinese Custom.

One of the most ancient and curl
ous customs among the Chinese, and
one rarely commemorated in this
country, was observed with great
pomp and circumstance in China
town Sunday night, when Fong
Hook, a leading merchant, who for
years has had the supervision OF
the Chinese discounts in the Anglo
Californian Bank of San Francisco,
entertained his relatives to remote
degree with a magnificent banquet
in honor of the first cutting OF the
hair of his only son.
The banquet took place at an
Eighth Street restaurant, and there
were $50 guests. A notable feature
was the fact that the wives and
children of the quests sat down at
the same table with the heads OF
families. A most elaborate menu,
comprising birds nest soup, steam
stuffed duck, Foon Yon Ha, sharks
fins, and other rare and costly celes-
tial dishes were served.
The banquet cost the happy father
$1,S00. During the evening quite
number of prominent members of
the San Francisco clearing house
called at the restaurant to offer their
Fluctuations to him. The haircut
ting ceremony, which was observed
with picturesque rites, symbolizes
that Fong Hooks heir is now fac
tor in the family. The guests
brought presents for the little son
worth thousands of dollars.-San

Bricks Made OF Flour.

In England much interest has been
shown of late by the army and navy
authorities in new method of pre-
serving -four by means of compress
sion. With hydraulic pressure ap-
paratus the flour is squeezed into
the form of bricks, and experiments
are reported to have shown that the
pressure destroys all forms of larva
life, thus preserving the flour from
the ravages of insects. while it is
equally secure from mold. Three
hundred pounds of compressed -four
occupy the same space as 100 pounds
of -four in the ordinary state.
