ALBINo BROWN TROUT.
An Extraordinary Lot of Little Eel
lows Now at the Aquarium.

From the New York sun.
Extraordinary among fish freaks is a
lot of 1872 albilo brown trout now at the
aquarium. These queer little fishes. now
about two inches in length, were Matched
out in the aqudriun's hatchery in Febru-
airy. Originally there were $50 of them,
of which fifteen died in the first two
months. In the last four months only
two have been lost. one of these by accl-
dent in the tank and the other by jump
ing out of the tank to fall on the floor.
Something of the success that has thus
far attended the rearing of the fishes
Matched from them must be attributed to
the facilities which this model hatchery
affords for looking after both eggs and
fishes. for here. with comparatively small
lots OF eggs it is possible to give them
almost individual care and to insure that
all the little fishes shall be properly fed.
Another extraordinary thing about
these little albino brown trout is their
number as compared with the total num-
Der of the batch of eggs from which
they We're Matched. Albino fishes are not
very common among such varieties as
brook trout and lake trout, and among
brown trout they are very rare. but these
100 albino brown trout We're Matched out
of lot of 5000 eggs-a very remarkable
proportion of albinos.
The little albinos are here to be seen
n.
other tank of brown trout of their nat
ural color Matched from the same lot of
eggs. Seen thus the little albinos with
their almost colorless bodies. but with
dark set eyes, became all the more strik-
ing.
The albinos are now growing faster than
their little brown brothers, but what will
happen to them later nobody can tell, for
albino fishes are not so long lived as
fishes of their natural color: they are

young. If an albino trout should survive
after six months and should grow to
maturity it could not be expected to live
more than half the life of fish of nat
ural color.
The aquarium has now four albinO lake
trout surviving out of a lot of eleven
albinos of this -pecies received a year
ago from the state fish hatchery at Sara

The Spanish Main Is Land.
From Scribner's.


Few are sure of their knowledge of the
Spanish Main and the Great South Sea
and where those regions We're. Longfel-
lows curious mistake as to the main in
THE Wreck Of the Hesperus' is an evil
dence of the general misconcaption; the
old sailor who had sailed the Spanish
main" possessed qualification that would
hardly commend him to a navigator, for
the main, being land and not water, can
no more be sailed than the state of Col
orado. The interchangeable sea terms
on and off may plead an excuse for
our jumbled notions, but the workings of
magination, evident in most tales of the
treasure ships are unreasonable when the
bald truth is SO amply exciting and blood

Spurious French Novels.

From the New York Times.
The American public has come to re-
gard modern French novels as immoral
productions of the worst kind. and tina,
this is in consequence of American book
stores being flooded with books. quite
unknown in France, apparently written
and published specially for foreign con-
sumption. The result is to check the in
fluence Of French thought in the United
States and to create a prejudice against
France and French ideas.

VERTICAL HANDWRITING.
Losses Of Those Who Were Trained
in That Style. 800

In That style.
From the Rochester Post-Express
DR.. William H. Maxwell, superintendent
OF schools in New York city, a prominent
leader in what Is called 1.-The new edllca-
don. announced that vertical writing is
to be abandoned in the schools Of the
metropolis. 1t has been failure, he says,
and hereafter the children will be taught
the free-arm style Of chirography This
authority now says that the Spencerian
system has its advantages over the verti-
cal method. but was attacked by the doc
trinaires, who declared that the constrain-
ed positions which children assumed in
writing were all due to that system; a
crusade was made against 1t, and within
short time all the copybooks were issued
with the vertical writing"
Yes; in New York and elsewhere. One
result was that children who had begun
to write under the Spencerian system
changed to the vertical method too late
to master 1t, and are now going through
life 80 deficient in ability to write legibly
that 1t is q source Of modification to
them and Of annoyance to others. In
other cases boys went through school,
mastered the vertical method, and found
that It was the cause of rejection when
tney appNed lot POSITIONS as clerks or ac-
countants. We have heard Rochester
bankers say that a smooth running hand
was what was wanted, and that those
who wrote vertically couldn't obtain en-
ployment in their institutions We have
seen advertisements in Rochester papers
concluding with the words: Vertical wri-
ters need not apply" It is a sad thing
that children are so trained at public ex-
pense that they cannot obtain work in
certain lines when they finish school and
are obliged to go out into the world and
earn living. We have heard large en-
ployers of clerks and accountants say: II
schools; their handwriting is BETTER So
It seems that in compelling boys and girls
to write vertically the school authorities
of this and other cities have put serious
handicap upon the graduates. q

Eyesight and Crime.

From Cassell's Magazine.
Many criminals have suffered from eye

prevented the exercise Of complete self

crimes OF greater or lesser magnitude we're

had received, so he was taken up and
brought to the city with a view Of
placing him in the hospital, but when
he was taken out of the wagon he put
up a fight and refused to enter the
building, SO he was taken to the jail.
The fellow wears the garb of a work
ing man and his face was a
sight to see. He had been struck In
several places and one eye was closed
and his face was te,lt and swollen
all over. Where he lay on the
ground was a pool Of blood from his

He would not, give his name nor
would or could he tell how he came

that in a drunken row among them he
