These young fishes, each about two
inches long, would eat SO much that
their little stomachs fairly stuck out
and yet to feed the whole 10000 took
daily only one pound of liver and a
quart of herring roe, both chopped

Temperature Rises to 96.4 Degrees,

A heat wave that killed, Frustrated,
sickened, crazed and irritated struck
Chicago Monday. The thermometer
reached 96.4 degrees. There was only
one place in the United States warmer
than Chicago, and that was Kansas
City, Mo. The federal thermometer
there registered 90 degrees as its high

not certain that different wind and hu-
nudity conditions may not have made
the Missouri city much more endurable
than Chicago. The odd part of it iii
was that there was a wind of from

on the grass plots in front Of the houses in River
