FISH TO FIGHT MOSQUITOES.
Minnows From Barbados to Be Planted
In Canal Zone Waters.

They are going to make fish do
large part of the mosquito fighting on
the Isthmus in the future. The canal
commission has received a lot Of mos
quito killing fish from the island Of
Barbados in the West Indies and Is
going to begin a systematic planting
Of the species in waters within the
canal zone. The fish have been plac-
ed temporarily in the tank in the court
of the administration building at An
con.
The freedom of Barbados from ma
laria has been attributed to the pres
ence of these fish in large numbers in
the streams and lakes Of the island.
The fish are known commonly as mil
lions and their scientific name is Gil
ardinus poeciloides. They belong to
group known as top minnows, so
called because they always feed near
the surface Of the water.
They are never more than an inch
and half long and they go scooting
through the water with most Of their
backs exposed. This enables them to
pursue bugs over lily pads and other
vegetation covered only by thin film
of water. They are not at all fasti-
dious about their home. They will
live in stagnant, sluggish or running
water, and they are not particular
whether it Is fresh or brackish.
Mosquito larvae are the food these
millions banker for, and when they
can't get nice little broiler mosqui-
to they will take an old tough speci-
men in preference to common food
like waterbugs. They have to catch
the old mosquitoes on the fly, though,
and their real usefulness Is based
chiefly on their destruction Of the lar
vac.
Once planted in a stream, they null
tiply with great rapidity. The young
are born alive, not Matched from an
egg. The minnows ascend streams
against a swift current and spread
into the smallest rivulets from the big
stream.
There are already some mosquito
eating fish in Panama waters, but the
introduction Of the millions is going
to be a great reinforcement to the
schools Of destroyers. OF course while
the millions surely will be bad medi-
cine for the anopheles mosquitoes
they won't be able to touch the steg-
omyia, the really select mosquitoes
that breed in exclusive places like els
terms, rain barrels and old tomato
cans.

WALL STREET FORTUNES.
Aggregate Runs Into the Billions.

If E. H. Hartman was worth only
$SO,000,000 he was very poorly paid,
from the Wall street standpoint, for
the work that he did. / have reason,
however, to believe that Hartman was
worth d great deal more than this. 1t
was estimated to me in 1908, when Har-
riman started the Stock Market up
ward with the Union Pacific at under
120 that he had taken on 100000
shares OF various stocks. These stocks
are now selling for more than 100000
900 above their cost price. l should
estimate Hartman to have been worth
nearer $200,0O0,000 than $100,000,000.
l don't take the street estimates of
great fortunes; there is as much ef-
fort to conceal great fortunes as there
is to magnify little ones. Money, how
ever, is not made by Wall street gamb-
ling or by short sales of securities. 1t
is made in large amounts by acquiring
properties or shares, putting more
money and still more watchful care
into them and into properties they rep
resent, and building them up to an in
vestment basis, then disposing Of them
to investors and reinvestins at more
opportune time, in them or in aban-
doned low-priced or reOrganized prop
critics.
The first fortune of size made in
bearing the Stock Market is yet to be
found. it is, therefore, a policy Of the
Standard Oil people never to go short
in the Stock Market except against
their own box. They know a better
way They simply go long on money,
let the bears play with the Stock Mar
ket and mark prices down, and then,
at a convenient opportunity they go
into the Stock Market with their mill
lions. and having both the money
market and the share market in their
own hands, they move forward and
their progression is marked by the
hundred millions.
All the great fortunes are now in

FAMOUS CLOCKS.
Lyons cathedral's Wonderful Meehan.
ieaI Timepieee.

ieaI Timepieee.
Our Paris contemporaries remind
one Of Mark Twain's account Of the
public clocks of Geneva They 'h'N
a sublime independence Of one anoth-
er, especially where facts are concern
ed. The latest instance is in regard
to the clock of the Palais de Justlc :.
which is now undergoing restoration.
Two papers assert that it was con-
structed between 1886 and 1885, while
a third declares that it only dates from
1852, that it Is the replica Of the work ct
Germain Pilon, and that the original
was set UP in the time Of Henry Ill.
Although the clock Is famous, there are
others, we learn, which are still more
so, for instance the clock at the Ca
thedral Of Lyons.
The clock Of Lyons Cathedral Is a
wonderful piece of mechanism, and the
legend describing it is as follows: The
cock crows, the bell sounds the hours,
the little bells the Sancta Spiritus; me
angel opens the gate to salute the Vfr-
gin Mary. The two heads Of the lions
move the eyes and the tongue. The
astrolabe shows the hours In its degree,
and the movement Of the moon. More
over, the perpetal calendar shows all
the days Of the year, the feast days, the
bissextile. The hours at which the
chimes are complete are five and six In
the afternoon. The chimes at the 9TH
er hours are restricted so as not to in
terfere with the Cathedral services.
Complicated indeed is the clock Of
Beauvais of $4,000 separate pieces, ac-
cording to a French journal. One sees
on the fifty-two dial plates the hour,
the day, the week, and the month; the
rising and the setting of the sun, the
phases Of the moon, the tides, the time
in the principal capitals of the world,
together with series Of terrestrial and
astronomical evolutions. The frame
work Is of carved oak meters by I've
meters, or 26 feet by 163 feet. When
the clock strikes all the "ediflce" seems
in movement. The designer wished to
depict the last judgment. This Won
derful work recalls the clock Of Stras-
burg, and is Of modern construction. 1t
is the work Of Beauvaslan M. Verite,
who was in the engineering department
of the Nord Railway. He died in 1887.
The cock crows, angels sound the
trumpet at the four cardinal points,
imitation flames appear from the open
inss of little steeples right and left.
God, the father by an inclination Of
the head, announces that he has come
to Judge the world. A soul, that Of the
impenitent thief, appears before the
Supreme Judge. IT Is condemned "a
penfer," and a demon armed with a
pitchfork seizes it and casts it into the
abyss. Next come the soul Of the just.
The angels advance and conduct it to
the realms Of day, sacred strains being
heard as the procession moves forward.

this tack is so short that 1t Is not suffi-
cient to quite pierce the thickness Of a
playing card; it merely raises a lump
on the back Of the card.
These minute mounds are caused to
appear on the top right-hand corner
and the bottom left-hand corner (Which
becomes the top right-hand when
turned around) so that they are per-
ceptible to the delicate touch Of the
dealer. The aces and kings are treated
In this manner, so that when the sharp
er, though his eyes 10 not rest upon
the cards, is dealing he can tell imme-
diately by the feel when he comes to
one of these cards. If, in correct deal
ing, 1t should go to al opponent, he
avoids giving 1t by dealing the card
underneath instead.

Record Yield Of Oats.

The record yield of oats re-
ported to US SO far this harvest
comes from the VIM. Liske farm
north of Denver where Mr..
Llske last week threshed $500
bushels of fine oats from rs acres
OF ground, an average yield of
lOo bushels per acre for the en-
tire field.
Crops are certainly great this
year on Camas Prairie and with
oats yielding like the field above
mentioned and wheat going from
40 to 60 bushels per acre the
farmer has no fault to find with
anything. He is the most indie
pendent and prosperous citizen
in the land.

BIG CROWD
ENJOYED PICNIC
About Eighty Persons, Youno
and Old, Had Pleasant Time
Last Sunday on Top of Cotton-
wood Butte.

A large crowd of people from
this vicinity made an excursion
up to the top of Cottonwood
Butte west of town last Sunday
and spent the day enjoying the
scenery and getting close tc
nature. Immediately after
church those who formed the
party drove up to the butte. On
reaching a level spot near the
top they camped for noon and
spread their lunches in picnic
fashion in the shade of some
lofty pines where they proceeded
to fortify inner man with the un-
merous good things provided for
the occasion. After lunch most
of the party climbed to the top
of the butte and proceeded to
enjoy the scenery from that point
of vantage. Owing to the hazy
weather the view was not as
grand as it would have been with
a clear sky but it convinced all
present that central Idaho has
some scenery grand as can be
seen in any state in the union.
Later short excursions into the
surrounding woods were made
in search of the luscious buckle
berries and toward evening the
party returned home, voting the
day one happily and we'll spent.
About eighty persons, old and
young, were in the party, among
whom were the following: John
Hoene and family, j. F. Jenny
and family, B. Tacke and family,
7. Toennis and family, John
Funke and family, Fred Mertes
and family, H. Bieren and family,
Jos. Hoene; and family, M. F.
Fuchs and family, John Meyer
and family, H. H. Nuxoll and
family and Fred Rustemeyer and
family, besides many young
folks.

Water Trenches All Dug.

The work of digging the
trenches and laying the water
mains for the new water system
is progressing rapidly and all of
the trenches will be finished this
week. Contractor Norlin has
had a crew of about thirty men
employed on the work for the
past two weeks and they have
made rapid progress. Owing to
the company's having sent the
pipe out in large lengths it has
been necessary to have some of
the shorter connections prepared
at Spokane and as soon as these
are received the work of cement
ing the reservoir will be COM
menced. This work will be
rather slow as considerable time
is required for the concrete to
settle before another layer can
be put on. In the meantime the
pipes will all be connected up
and the trenches filled so that
the~system will be all ready for
use just as soon as the reservoir
is finished.
