CONCERNING FISH EGGS.
Simple Means by Which the Matching OF
Them May he Expedited. 4:

The Aquarium received lately from the
| United States Fisheries Bureau S,ooo,0ooi
white perch cggs-the eggs Of this species
are very small-which have been placed
in Matching jars in the Aquarium's model,
fish hatchery.
The period of incubation Of fish eggs
depends largely on the temperature Of the
water in which they are spawned or placed.
Whiteish eggs in water OF a temperature
Of IS degrees would hatch out In about
three days; in water Of a temperatlre OF
So degrees. that being about the present
temperature of the Croton water as 1t
flows into the Aquarium's tanks, whitefish
eggs require for Matching a period Of
from fifteen to twenty days.
The susceptibility OF fish eggs to tenn.
perature makes il possible to do things
with them that could not be done other
wise. II in such a hatchery as the Aquart-
lum. for instance, with its limited space, 10
should be desirable to expedite the hatch
ing Of a batch of eggs TO make room In
jars or troughs fol. other eggs, this can be
| done by the simple expedient OF raising
the temperature or the wa,er.
When the eggs are in the hatchery water
Is all the time kept running into the Jars
or troughs and running of, in constant
circulation. to give the eggs aeration; but
this circulation car be suspended for q
comparatively brief time without INJURY.
BY shutting of the inflow OF new WAGER
the temperature Of the standing water u
which the eggs would then remain would
be In an hour or two p~erceptihly raised
by the warmth OF the surrounding air IN
the building; and by the increase of
warmth In the water the Matching Of the
eggs would be accelerated. When little
fishes are about ready 10 come out q

TRAINING PIGS AND GEESE.
The Former Clever, but Cold Hearted
The Latter A~Hectionate.

Do you remember the trained pigs
which cavorted madly about the arena
when the circus Was at the Garden?
Well, some one with a laundering after
the secrets OF pig training tried to worm
those secrets out Of Mr.. Kerslake, who
educated the prancing porkers. and this
is what he said:
-Jnst keep at 1t. Patience, patience
and then some more patience. That's
the only secret l know.
Pigs learn readily enough. but their
consumed ~perversity is what upsets
the whole thing. Trained pigs arc rare
and they are always in demand, but they
certainly a lot Of trouble. A few
years ago the first trained pig to appear
on the stage earned for his trainer a sal
airy OF $3.50 a week.
dNo. they never care much for me
I don't think a pig is capable Of real
affection. He is smart, though. Take q
puppy six weeks old and a pig OF the Same
age and the pig Will learn a trick In half
tho time required by the puppy; but q
pig Is contrary.
fHe finds out what you want him to
do and he goes ahead and does Just the
opposite, and semi to get a lot OF enjoy.
ment out OF II. They cannot be forced
into doing a thing and TO whip q pig would
ruin him for training. just patiently
going over and owe a thing 10 the only
way. Pigs will stand only about ten
minutes training at n time
Just as Mr.. Kerslake was about TO
analyze the relative merits OF the razor
back and common pigs the clown. with
the trained goose that u 90 much
laughter In tho arena, came along and was
forthwith invited to contribute to the
symposium, which was later set forth In
LesAe's Weekly. "A goose Is absolutely
the most intelligent Of the festhered tribe
and the most a~HeotionAte," he declared
enthusiastically. This Is the most atYec-
tionate goose you eve raw. He follows
me everywhere and 10 actually lonely
when I leave him.
Chickens and ducks and turkeys never
show affection. I used to have a trained
duck march around tho ring and that
seemed to 60 all right With the people.

from the pump could be made to irri-
gate the upper benches. This was
something that other farmers along
the river had pronounced as imprac-
ticable, it being declared that the wa
ter could not be successfully lifted to
such a height as would be necessary
to put it over the upper lands.
Mrs. Dodd went ahead with her ar
rangements. She had an electric
pumping station built upon the bank
of the river. The pump which has a
capacity of $500 gallons of water a
minute, is located in a concrete well
which rises above the ground thirty
seven feet. This well is thirteen feet
in diameter. The electric motor which
operates the pump is 1876 horse power.
Upon the top of the well is small
house in which are located the
switches. The pumping station is well
above the highest water mark of the
river.
The lift of the water is 106 feet,
which is itself something of novelty
in irrigation works. The water is
pumped into a fourteen-inch wooden
pipe which carries it a distance of
$500 feet and empties it into a reser-
voir. From this reservoir three open
bitches and one sheet iron flume leads
over the farm in different directions.
The flume is 2750 feet long.

INDIAN RELICS
FOUND IN CITY
NOW OWNED BY [. 0. JANECK
Larson Building Uncarth Two
Pcstles and n War Club.

L. o. Janeck, who is a collector of
Indian curos, has come into posses
sion within the past few months OF
several relics of the early settlers
which are of particular interest as
they were found right here in North
Yakima. Two of them appear to be
pestles such as were used in the age
of stone for grinding food. The
third is of the same general character
but is larger and longer. and it is be-
lieved was a war club or some Of
fensive and defensive weapon.
One of the pestles was found sew
eral weeks ago at the site of the
pond excavated by the Cascade Lum-
Der company. The other two articles
were dug up by the excavators for
the basement of the new Larson
building on south Second street.
They were found at a depth of about
niue feet below the surface.
In view of the fact that Indian
relics were found at similar depth
in the excavation for the Cline
Loudon building on east Yakima ave-
nue. it would appear that there is a
NEST" of such things below the site
of this city. Mr.. Janeck thinks from
the character of the deposi. in which
they were found that they may have
come a great distance by the action
of water.

FREAK OIL WELLS IN TEXAS.
Has Eight Outbreaks Every "a Hours
and Cuisines Fifty Barrels of
Fuel.

SOUR LAKE, Tex, June ia
freak oil well was brought in on the
Ransom tract of land in the Sour
Lake field recently. 1t is a gusher of
the old type, but it does not have a
regular flow. 1t has eight outbreaks
every twenty-four hours, and at each
eruption it gushes just fifty barrels of
oil.
The period of activity lasts only
five minutes. The we'll then suddenly
subsidies and for four hours it is per-
fectly quiet, not a sound escaping
from it's surface opening. When the
time arrives for another eruption the
earth around the we'll suddenly be-
gins to tremble, a loud subterranean
roar is heard, and out of the pipe
spouts the oil to height of more
than 100 feet.
This remarkable we'll is attracting
much attention among experienced oil
men. They are unable to account for
its peculiar actions. The owners OF
the well are satisfied to let it "cut up
as it sees fit so long as it continues
to produce 400 barrels of Oil per day
without pumping. Other producing
wells in the same locality and Of the
same depth have given no signs of
this freakinsh quality.

PREPARING FOR NEW STATION
Superintendent DcForcc Says That
Material Will he Rushed i'm for
Construction at Once.

Materials for the new railway sta
ton here are to be rushed into North
Yakima at once and construction
work on the building, which is to be
very similar to that at Lewiston,
Mont, only better, will be undertaken
within the next two weeks. The pre-
liminary move will De the construc-
ton of a track east of the present line
of the Northern Pacific railroad for
use by the North Yakima & Valley
railroad. This track comes as far
south as Il street. This announcement
was made to The Herald last night by
J. l.. DeForce, superintendent of this
division of the Northern Pacific rail-
road. The approach to the new sta
ton will be on Il street and the eX-
press and other quarters will be on
the south end about where the north
end of the present station building,
or rather baggage and express build
ings now are. one result of this ar
rangement will be to throw consider
able traffic off the avenue, which now
carries it, to the side streets.
The new building. according to Mr..
DeForce will be Of brick and, of ne
cessity in it's construction the present
concrete walk at the station will need
to be torn up. Mr.. DeForce in eX-
pressing his qualification over the fact
that there it to be a new station here,
construction of which will at once be
undertaken, said that the building is
to he a splendid one, both ornate and
substantial The structure here, con-
sidered when built to be more than
adequate for all demands that ever
would be made on it, has long since
been outgrown by the business of the
company. The building to replace II
is constructed with an eye to the fu-
ture growth and will be sufficient FOR
the service for years TO come.

DONALD COMPLETES
COWICIIE SURVEY
Entrcnchcs Himself for Construction
of Feeder Line and Which Will
be at Least IL Miles Long.

George Donald has completed his
work on the survey of his line into
the Cowiche. He has entrenched
himself by observing all the Iegal
formalitics, which he had failed to do
in some instances in the lower val
ley, which led To the compromise
with Il. II. Strahorn. with regard to
the Cowiche, however, ne has his doc
uncnts all of record SO far as his sur
vey and his intention TO construct a
railroad are concerned and Is now on
the eve of starting out to procure his
right of way.
The survey carries the railroad up
through the canyon ana into the
Cowichc valley as far as the Splawn
property. 1t is understood that A. J.
Splawn has signihcd his intention Of
donating "A right of way through his
property, which viii be a distance Of
some three miles. No effort. so far
as Is known, has been made to pro-
cure right of way beyond this point
This will carry the railroad out dis
lance of some ~ miles from North
Yakima.
G. o. Adams, civil engineer who has
been prosecuting the survey work for
the Donald line. has finished his task
and returned to other duties.

WHISKY SAVES DEAD" DOG
Strangled Animal Revives When Negro
Gives Him Stiff "Sniftcr.'

HUNTINGTON, L. l., June I'm
the Huntington house in this village
there is little terrier that is so glad
it is not dead that it is walking on it's
hind legs, standing on it's head, and
doing other stunts. On Wednesday it
was dragged for miles behind a furni
ture truck with a rope about it's neck.
1t was not until a small boy called to
the driver that his dog was dead that
any attention was paid to the terriers
plight.
Eyes, he's dead all right" the driver
said. He tossed the dusky form of the
terrier over nearby fence. He was
too busy to waste time or regret on a
mere dog. Five hours after Abraham
L. Jackson, a negro employed by
Charles H. Smith, owner of the Hunt
ington house, noticed the dog. 1t still
had the rope tied about it's neck.
Jackson saw the animal move one paw
weakly. He picked up the dog, re-
moved the moose, and hurried to the
hotel.
81 guess what you want is a good
stiff drink of whisky right quick"
Jackson said and he poured the Ii
quor down the terriers throat. The
dog was from a local option district,
and responded quickly to the treat
ment. First it opened it's eyes then
it licked the negro's hand. After a
while it got up and began to walk
around. The negro soon ascertained it
was a trick dog. After Smith had seen
it put through its PAGES he permitted
jackson to keep it as one of the at
fractions at the hotel.
