Meteorite Resembling Molten Lead.

A South African correspondent tells the story of large meteorite weighing more than half a ton, which has been sent by Dr.
 Rogers of the Geological Survey from Prtes- ka, in the Kenhardt territory of Cape Colo n.y. to the South African Museum at Cape Town. The meteorite was found at Hatel- draai and 1t looks like mass of molten metal with a number of cavities or pockets in it. and where not earth soiled is of dark bluish leaden color. In parts 1t has been chipped with chlsel or piclax, and in such cuts 1t shows small shiny particles of nickel ferrous iron, and Dr. Periguey. the director of the museum. ascribes its advent as due to the disintegratIon of some cometary body.

able to spend a Sunday on the creek
and dangle the hooks among the tree
limbs and feed the fish but it would
be absolutely contrary to the law to
catch fish for any other purpose than
pleasure or food. A sale of them would
place a man in grave danger of convic-
ton. After this five years had passed
there would be limit on the amount
of fish caught. No one man would be
allowed to pull more than 25 pounds
from the Kansas streams. Mr.. Curtis
suggested these laws in connection with
the spear amendment which would pro-
vide for the right to arrest a man who
had speared fish in his possession or
who attempted to sell fish that had
been killed or caught in this manner.
The result of such amendments as
suggested by the deputy fish warden
can be readily seen. In five years the
streams in Kansas would be completely
restocked with fish and when the season
opened again at the end of five years
the oldest of weedy bank fishermen
would laugh at their former tales of
wonderful deeds performed with the rod
and line. Fish develop very rapidly and
in a few years without the continual
drain from the fish hogs" and the cold
blooded humiliation from the dealers
they would fill the holes of the small
est stream and make the small school
boy and the tired out business man live
in dreams and happiness.
This fish situation in Kansas is no
dream. The wardens are not spending
their time these cold days and nights
searching along the Kansas streams for
fun. They are doing their best to cor
rect the evil but when they attempt to
enforce the law without the benefit of
the law they have an impossible duty
to perform.
Kansas streams are naturally the
homes of the best good old-fashioned
"gamy'' fish in the world and holiday
on the bank of a Kansas stream is
worth a hundred days in the cool hills
of a summer resort. But without pro-
per legislation Kansas will lose her fish,
lose her valuable streams, lose her
SpOrtsnanlike men and the water
snakes and ''craw-dads'' will take pos
session of the one time resort of the
men who appreciate what the Maker has
given.
