Hats, Heads and Brains.
From the New York World.

The cabled news from London that the
average hat of an Englishman is smaller
than it used to be need surprise no one. In
part it is the result of the leveling processes
of democracy. Many people habitually
wear store hats whose ill-fed ancestors
used them only on great occasions, If al
all. The average stature of the English
people. too. has probably declined since the
introduction of the factory system, though
in most other countries stature tends to In
crease.
In part the change is due to the mixture
of races. Within his long lifetime Glad

MARKED FISH IN THE SEA.
Thousands Of Them Caught, Numbered
and Put Back in British Channel.

From Discovery.
Catching fsh, measuring and marking
them and then returning them to the sea
with the chance Of retaking them later Is
part Of the work carried on by the Marine
Biological Association Of Great Britain.
By means of a steam trawler the fish
are caught in the usual way. Each haul
Is carefully recorded, the fish are counted
and measured and all details of locality,
time, number, species. sex and size are
put down, together with accurate observa-
tiOns on the water, The depth and bottom
of the sea. the kinds and quantity of food
available, etc. These data are subsequently
tabulated and charted.
The method of marking the fish is inter-
esting and has been attended with valuable
results. The fish chiefly used during the
few years the experiment has been in prog
ress have been plaice, because the proposals
which have been made to interfere with the
catching Of them Were based on inadequate
knowledge.
The fish are marked on the dorsal surface
with very thin convex metal disk bearing
a number. This is attached to fine silver
wire which Is passed through the thinner
part of the fish near the fin and secured
on the under side by small bone button
The fish do not appear to suffer incon-
venience and their growth Is not inter-
fered with in any way.
The thoroughness with which the North
sea is swept by the bets of the fishing fleets
is demonstrated by the fact that out of
5,H59 marked plaice of all sizes 992 were re-
captured within a year. This represe nts
1871 per cent. or nearly one-fifth: but for
the medium sized fJsh the figures are far
higher, ranging from 2o4 to 30 per cent for
the whole of the North sea and to 43 per
cent In the more northern portions.
The men Of the regular fishing fieeet CO.
operate by forwarding to the laboratory of
the association at Lowestoft all the marked
fish they catch. AT the laboratory refer
ence to the records easily establishes how
much the fish have gained in size and we ght
since the previous catching. Moreover, the
distance between the spot where 1t was re-
leased and the place where it was again
caught gives an idea as to its movements

Said Not 10 Be Satisfied Win
 Waterbury Deputy.

A party of Germans interested in politics will pay a visit to County Sherin.elect Philip Hugo in New Ha- ven this week and give him a slice Of their minds about his reported ap- pointment of Emil c. Steinman of Walnut street as one of his deputies in Waterbury. The Germans in gen eral arc said to be very angry with Mir Hugo, but 1t is evident that after MT Hugo explains matters to them they will be as olive branches.
 It is said that Steinman is neither a democrat nor German, that, in fact, he is republican of the deepest dye and Swiss, and that he is the selection of the man first mentioned for the post, rmil Lindeman of S6 Ward street.
 The Germans feel that if MT Hugo Is not disposed to appoint German he ought at least appoint democrat, and Steinman is neither the one nor the other.
 Lindenman is said to be back of all the difficulty. Steinman was a stout advocate for the republican nominee, Jacob D. Walter, and how he could therefore be mistaken for a democrat is puzzling all who are interested in the matter.

THE WATR QUESTION GERMAN POIII1CIANS|
MeelIng Win F. Held 10 Gel Out Injunction.

The call for slgners to petition regarding the water question brought out 763 persons all of whom pay wa ter rent and are very much displeased at the present rates. The next move Will be n public meeting at which steps will be taken to have an in-, Junction issued restraining the city from interfering with people who ne glect to pay water bills pending an adjustment of the whole question. This Is in line with one or two of the factories who have had injunctions issued which enables them to con- sume ;ls much wafer as they please and let the question of price drug on until the snarl Is over.
 Tho position taken by the slgners is that the service be metered for merchantile and manufacturing pur- poses, but no meters for domestic use. This, they claim is in accordance with some of the most progressive cities in the country and they cannot see why Waterbury should take up any other system. The opposition to metering the service to household consumers appears to be growing stronger and if the city fathers car " out their intention they will show q lot of courage that many think they don't possess, for 1t is certain that whether the meter is good tlring or bad thing the administra- tion that will put it into general use will have to step aside for a time, and this is what they are all worried over, the democrats as we'll as the republicans, and the leaders of both sides are not denying it.
 Here are opinions from both sides of the house:
 Why should republicans father this thing when everybody knows that the party that does 1t will be down and out for two or three years and probably more"
 Tt does not appear quite clear to me why democrats should burn their fingers with this water question. The business administration steered clear of it, notwithstanding that q dozen or more petitions were present. ed to them asking for legislation on that matter"
 These statements were made to q Democrat reporter by men who are constantly on the lookout for break CTS that might interfere with the ship of state, and while some may laugh at them they explain the req son why the water rates and real es- tate taxes are so far out of true.
