FREAK FISHES.
Very Curious Creatures, They Are,
But They Don't Live Long.

Freak fishes among the trouts
among those hatched from the eggs
of the brook trout. There are not SO
many among rainbow trout and they
are seldom found among brown
trout; though among hybrids formed
by crossing the American brook
trout with the European brown trout
are found larger number OF freaks
than among trout all brown.
The freak fishes hatched out from
brook trout eggs might number 5000
to 1000 fishes. Among those appear
ing from a batch of brook trout eggs
hatched out recently at the New York
Aquarium there were fishes with two
heads and two tails.
These freaks do not long survive.
Commonly they die when they have
absorbed their yelk sac at the expi-
ration of a period of about thirty
days, though they may live sixty or
ninety days or even longer. If they
live long enough to begin feeding
for themselves after the absorption
of the yelk sac then one of the heads
OF two-headed fish may do all the
feeding or both heads may feed, and
1t may seem as If the curious crea-
ture was going to get on. But 1t
doesn't last.
A two-headed brook trout Matched
out at the aquarium that had come
to be about an inch and a quarter in
length lived four months and ten
days, but that was considered re-
markable.

HYDRIoK AssocIarE gusTIoE.
Sheppard Withdrew and His Support
Went to Successful Candidate.
(The State, 12th.)

2 Il
A deadlock lasting through 81 bal
lots was broken last night by the
election of D. e. Hydrick. of Spar
tanburg as Associate Justice to sue
ceed Ira b. Jones, recently made
Chief Justice.
1t became apparent during the bal
lots taken the day before and the
ballots taken yesterday morning that
Mr.. Hydrick was gaining rapidly,
and with Messrs. Cothran and Shep-
pard still in the race the ballot
would have been indefinitely pro-
longed and that legislation would
have been blocked.
1t was no surprise, therefore,
when Senator Weston announced last
night that he was authorized to
withdraw the name of John C. Shep-
pard. Mr.. Sheppard had received q
magnificent vote and he was gratiiied
with the support oil his friends, but
he felt that it would be but pro-
longing final decision to allow his
name to be used longer.
Mr.. Weston and the other mem
bers Of the Richland delegation then
cast their votes solidly for Mr.. Hy-
drick, and with the other changes it
was shown early in the final roll call
that Mr.. Cothran was. defeated. Mr..
Cothran is one Of the most popular
members of the House. He had
strong support from the time of his
entry. The name of John G. Shep-
pard also carried a large number,
and Mr.. Hydrick had from the start
strong organization. Therefore, it
was evident that there would be a
deadlock until one of these three
names was withdrawn.
The elevation of Mr.. Hydrick as
Associate Justice means the election
Of Circuit Judge for his une4pired
term. The name of Mr. Thomas s.
Sease has been most prominently
mentioned among the supporters of
Mr.. Hydrick, although last night it
was said that Mr.. Hall and Mr.. Otis
would also be nominated.

was saying, but he felt better with
the drink Of water, and then the two
troopers helped him to get ahead.
"And so we got back, all that was
left of us. I've heard the verses that

they are. Good soldiers verses, just
like galloping aid slashing and the
sound Of guns. They got some Of us

Fire Protection Cost is Heavy
In United States the Per Capita Cost in 1853 Cities Averag
es $1.65-Expense in Europe Quite Low.

$O.23. The bulletin cautions that the
inference should not be drawn from
these data that the fire departments
of this country are not economically
administered. The low per capita
cost Of maintenance abroad is the re-
suit of stricter building regulations,
more nearly fireproof buildings. and
greater precautions to prevent the oc-
currence of fires. The foreign mu-
inequalities also make no payment for
water for fire purposes, an expense
incurred by about two-fifths of the
departments in the large cities Of this
country.
In those cities for which complete
reports were made there were SS,255
fire alarms during 1907 and 7s,5O7
fires, of which ,52.343 resulted in loss
es. In other words only 1913 per cent
of the alarms were for fires which oc-
casioned loss. Similarly. disregarding
| those cities with incomplete reports
the total loss through fires was $4S,
676,73O, on which insurance was paid
amounting to $42,655.725, leaving a
net loss Of $6,O21 ,O05, or 1874 per cent
| The total fire loss per capita was
$22S and the net loss per capita 1928
OF the total loss reported, separa
ton Of the total on buildings and the
total on their contents was returned
for $4S,3OS,0S1, showing that $1S,965,
427, or 1913 per cent, was on building:
and $29.342, 654, or 60.7 per cent. wal
on contents.
