CaSpian Lake.
Yellow Perch VS.. The Trout.

Word comes from Greensboro that the
trout fishing in the celebrated pond will
soon be thing of the past. During the
season which closed last month the
waters of the pond were found to be in
tested with small yellow perch, condi-
ton that necessarily sounds the doom
of that body of water as a fishing resort.
The two species of fish, trout and perch
will not thrive in the same body of
water; the perch in the course of one
or two years will destroy the more de-
sirable trout and Greensboro pond or
Crystal lake as it is frequently and de-
servedly called, will have then degener-
ated to the condition that prevails in
nearly all the small ponds in Vermont.
For years Greensboro pond, which is
one of the most beautiful sheets of water
in existence, has furnished some of the
best trout fishing in the state 1t has
been literally stocked from time to time
and the public spirited portion of the
yearly increasing colony of cottagers has
interested itself in maintaining the sup
ply of fish. There has also been a strong
local sentiment in favor of enforcing the
protective laws.
By far the worst features of the ruin
ing of the pond is the suspicion that it
has been brought about by the malicious
act of two or three cottagers who have
been prosecuted by the authorities of
Greensboro for violating the Sunday
laws and who are believed to have intro
duced the worthless perch out of spite.
To condemn such an act of vandalism,
now that it has accomplished it's misera-
BILE purpose, is useless. A conviction
under the prevailing statute covering
such offences would in no wise repair the
wrong that has been done to the hun
dreds of people who have annually Wis
tied Greensboro for a try at the two
sturdy game fish, the forked and the
square-tailed trout, that inhabited the
clear, cool water. One more opportunity
for free and open trout fishing has been
destroyed and the lapse of time before
the day when it will be impossible to find
any sport of this nature outside of pri-
vate preserve has been shortened.- Ben
nington Banner.

About Real Estate.

1t is not generally known that lumber
of all commodities has dropped most in
the recent panic. Nor is it known that
as a result, just now is the best time to
build This is so from the fact that as
soon as business resumes its normal
proportions prices will go soaring
again. And our forest fires of this sum-
mer will not help to keep prices down
this coming winter and spring. The
Boston Evening Transcript on Saturday
Oct will publish three important
articles on this subject: Real Estate Out
look for various sections of Boston and
vicinity. Review of Realty Conditions
during the year. Some of the Import
ant Real Estate Transactions of 1908.
These will make interesting reading for
everybody. especially for those who
have in mind the subject of owning their
own home some day. Incidentally this
issue will, as a consequence, be well
patronized by real estate advertisers.

Coal Used by Romans.

It is believed by some historians that
coal was used by the Romans on the
continent and by the Britons on the is
land before the arrival of Caesar. As
early as 1884 Henry III. granted a IL
cense to dig coal near Newcastle but
a few years later the use of coal was
forbidden in London. the smoke being
deemed prejudicial to public health.
In 1906 the London gentry petitioned
the king against its use, declaring that
In spite of his royal order certain ma
licious persons persisted in burning It,.
Goals began to be brought from New
castle to London in 1891, during the
reign of Richard H. BY the year 1900
coal was commonly burned in London
as a fuel, though 200 years later in
the reign of Charles l., its use was far
from being general throughout Eng
land. Anthracite coal which, except
the diamond, is the purest form of car
bon known, was first used by Con-
necticut blacksmith named Gore in
176S and as a domestic fuel by Judge
Jesse Fell of Wilkesbarre, Pa. in 1908.
