Fattening Fish on Corn.

Here is something new In the pro-
duction of meat. A telegram from
Kenosha, Wisconsin, says that people
along Fox River, in that State, have
opened up new industry and are
fattening fish on corn for the Chicago
market. German carp, which are
plentiful in Fox River, are scooped
up in nets and placed in a big pen
fenced off in a small stream. They
are fed on corn and grain, the same
as hogs. 1t is claimed the fish take
on flesh rapidly. and it is not u1com-
mon to take earn from the pen weigh
ing from thirty to fifty pounds. Last
year the ingenious workers in the
new industry sold over two tons OF
fish fattened in this way. This sea-
son they will dispose of twenty tons,
as there is good demand.

That the depopulation of the earth
will be brought about through the
failure of the water supply is the
conclusion reached by the French geo.
logist, M. Martel, He has made OBJ
servations of subterranean caverns,
and says that the earth is gradually
drying up. They contain, he says,
notes the New York Tribune, not
only the secret of prehistoric life, in
asmuch as they were the homes Of
men OF the remotest age, but also
bear indications of the endless future.
M. Martel has found proof of steady
fall in the level of the water in these
subterranean depths, and from these
facts he arrives at his conclusions.

Every reputable saloonkeeper
knows that there is no profit in drum
ken trade. One intoxicated man will
make such a nuisance of himself as
to drive a dozen sober customers
somewhere else, affirms the New
York World. The money gained by
selling man two or three drinks
more than he should have is lost ten
times over by the departure of the
other men who will not associate with
an offensive drunken man. Also the
man who spends ali he earns in sa-
loon is of little financial profit to any
saloonkeeper, because he earns so
little to spend and becomes an incu-
bus Oh the place.

There are many people out of
work. There are others who are as
busy as ever and at the same old
wage Everybody is talking econ
omy, but why in the world should
those whose earnings are just as
large as ever reduce expenses because
other people find the times hard? 1t
seems to the Hartford Courant that
just exactly the opposite is their duty.
IL they have the money and want
things, then they should buy not only
for the sake of getting what they
do want, but also because every dol
lar spent in these days helps to keep
somebody busy who otherwise might
lose his job.

There are many laws now regulat-
ing the organization and conduct of
corporations. 1t is very important
that they who organize and they who
commit their money to corporations
should know what the laws are,
should know what is legal and right,
and be able so to conduct business
that the laws shall be obeyed and JUS
tice shall be done. Lawyers who
give special attention to this kind of
practice are in demand, declares the
Christian Register Their services
are exceedingly valuable, and they
deserve the compensation they get,
But there is corporation lawyer Of
another kind who fills large place
in the public eye because he is a ras4
eal, doing business under The forms
