MULTIPLICATION OF FISH.

Enemies Prevent Too Great n Num-
Der Living to Maturity.
Some faint conception Of the great
destruction of eggs and young fishes
and of the comparatively limited num-
ber of them to attain full growth may
be formed from the statements of those
who have made study of fish product
lvity, says the Mobile Register. Thus
the great English naturalist, Button,
made a careful investigation of the
number Of eggs produced by female
herring and on that basis calculated
the Increase for twenty years. His
conclusion was that the increase of
single pair Of herring, If all reached
maturity, would in a score Of years
amount to mass as large as our
earth.
Without going extensively into the
figures of those who have made n
study Of this subject it is only neces-
sary to remember that the herring Is
comparatively small fish, and that some
OF the larger species are almost equal
ly prolific. Thus 100000 eggs have
been found in female goldfish and it
Is stated that one will produce not less
than 100000 young in single sea-
son. The eggs in a female eel were
counted, and the number was ascertain
ed to be about 100000. Other COM
mon fishes, while not so prolific as
these, are enough so to make us won
der just how long all the waters Of the
earth would contain the fishes If all
the eggs that are spawned should reach
maturity. The seas and the oceans
and the rivers would soon become i'm
passable, and we suppose the end of
the world, as far as man is concerned,
would soon arrive.
Fortunately for humanity, from the
moment the egg Is laid Its enemies are
ready for It, The eggs are eagerly
seized and devoured, and the young
fishes fare no better. Numerous nat
urai enemies Of the finny tribe follow
the mothers, or lie in wait for eggs and
young, so that but few reach maturity,
compared with the incalculable num-
ber that are brought into the world.
Valuable as all fishes are for human
food It Is fortunate that man Is not
the only animal that feeds on them.

Was 1t possible that he couldn't feel
that horrible hurt?
Gentlemen, that man had no feeling
in his face whatever. He told me that
he had been operated on for tic dolour

cured the tic, had left his face dead to
all sensation.
"I had often read Of tic doloureux

but now there Is an operation that

Some Of the greatest authorities on
radium now incline to the belief that
1t Is a compound rather than a chem
ical element.
According to an official Of the geolog-
ical survey at Washington, the heaviest
metal is osmium, which has, bulk for
bulk, very nearly twice the weight Of
lead. The specific gravity of gold is
about 19A, while that of osmum is al
most 22R. Osmium Is also the most
infusible Of metals, remaining unaffect-
ed by degree of heat capable of caus-
ing platinum to run like water. 1t
even resists the inconceivable tempera-
ture of the electric arc.
1t Is reported that the invisible radi-
um emanations affect terminating seeds
even when these are covered with a
layer of soil very much the same as a
too powerful application Of sunlight to
the seed. In other words, the effect Is
similar to that produced by too much
light, resulting in an arresting of germi-
nation. The effect is influenced by the
nature Of the seed covering. its distance
from the source of emanation and the
quantity of moist soil intervening.
The greatest industry Of Australia
is sheep raising, mainly for the sake
of the wool, but also in part, Of course,
for the meat. Australia now ranks sec
ond among the great sheep-raising coun-
tries, Argentina being first with o.
900, 1000 sheep, Australia second with To-
100000 and Russia third with 10000
600. But few years ago Australia
was first, possessing no less than 106,-
100000 head of sheep. That was in
1891. Prolonged droughts were the
cause of the destruction Of many mill
ions Of Australian sheep, but since 1902
there has been an annual gain. Yet
these sheep were not Indigenous to Aus
tralia. They were first introduced in
1897, being of the Spanish merlno spe-
cles.
If you ask your grocer, what are
the best English walnuts?" he will re-
ply, "French ones" They are exported
chiefly from Grenoble, and are known
as Grenoble nuts. The suggestion hay
ing been made that excellent walnuts
could be raised in many Of our South
ern States, at distance from the
humid and swampy coast lands, the
Department of Commerce has collected
interesting facts about the cultivation
of the trees in France. They grow
best at attitudes between 600 and 1000
feet. The young trees are very suscep-
tible to extreme heat or cold. To main
tain the quality of the nuts frequent
grating is practiced. Perfect nuts
grow only on the outer limbs, exposed
to the air and sun, and the inner
limbs are kept trimmed down. The
trees are planted with plenty Of room
about them, and every year or two the
ground Is dug up and fertillzed. The
space between can be utilized for pas
turage or crops.

FavorS Chances of Can

If the Republican national conven-
ton goes to Chicago next summer
Uncle" Joe Cannon will be TIE norni-
nee if President Roosevelt doesn't take
the Job again. This is the prediction
made by former Representative James
Hamilton Lewis, OF Chicago. The silver
tOngued orator and flowing whiskered
authority on matters Democratic also
predicted that if Mr.. Roosevelt viii not
run again Mr.. Bryan win be a nominee.
THE present scare In money matters
eliminates the Eastern candidates" said
Colonel Lewis, for there is hardly
man in politics there who is not tainted
in some manner with the money scan
dals. If Chicago is chosen, as I think IL
viii be, the strength Of Joe Cannon will
be wonderfully increased. and as he has
the friendship of ell the other candi-
dates, really believe he viii be chosen

finally refusing the plum.
"Of course, / cannot speak with any
authority, fo- I DO not even pretend to
know. but I believe that If Roosevelt
Is nominated again Mr.. Bryan Will not
run on the other ticket. Why should he
run If Roosevelt does? He represents
practically the same ideals and policies
that the President stands for. If. on
the other hand, some one of the So
called reactionaries is nominated on the
Republican ticket. il would seem that
Mr.. Bryan's strength would grow He
would get the Roosevelt votes that the
