there seems some ground for thinking
that the fish getting away from the

a firmer, richer flesh than it's brother

One expert gives as his theory that
shad are deserving the Delaware be-
cause it is too much mixed with coal
dust.
The river drains through the an
thracite region of the eastern part of
Pennsylvania, and also gets a liberal
deposit of coal dust from the Schuyl-

Ancient Granary in India.

The "golah.'' at Bankipur, India, was
built for granary in 1888, but was
never used for that purpose. It is
425 feet round at the base, with walls
70 feet 2 inches in thickness, the in
terror diameter being 100 feet. It is
about ninety feet high and might con-
tain $4,000 tons. Inside is most
wonderful echo, best heard from the
center Of the building. AS a whisper
ing gallery there is perhaps no such
building in the world, not even the fa-
nous Mormon temple.

A Breath From Berlin.

said an excited speaker at recent pc.

found the ship was sinking? Did he
nail his colors to the mast and stand
by the old flag? No, sir; he got out
and ran away

and the crowd Of creelers then threw
stones into it until the bride publicly

PUBLIC OPINION ALLPOWERFUL

Early In October British soap manu-.
facturers formed combination like
what we know In America as trust.
Six weeks later the members OF the
combination announced that "the work.
ing arrangement entered into by the
leading soap makers OF the United
Kingdom has been received with such
disfavor by the trade and the public
as to make IL unavoidable, and II has
been decided to terminate the arrange
ment." Newspapers, tradcsmen and
consumers had united to defeat the
combination. One need not approve
the methods of boycott resorted 10 by
the retailers, or the fav0rs shown by
newspapers To "lndcpcndent' soap max
ers In the matter of advertising, which
contributed 10 make the allied firms

be noted with satisfaction that the chile!
power against the trust was the public,
and that the combination was undOne
not by legal or political measures, or
by any ethical principle. INT simply by
the fact that popular opposition made
1t unavoidable" The people did not
Ike the combination, and they made
the manufacturers feel their strong dis
