POTATO CROP HEAVY.
Additional Steamers Commissioned
to Bring Supply to Baltimore.

Reports from the eastern shore Of Var.
ginia state that the crop Of potatoes
grown on the potato farms of Accomac
and Northampton counties Of Virginia
will be about the average in size. Many
thousand barrels of vegetables are landed
almost daily at the Baltimore wharves OF
the Baltimore, Chesapeake and Atlantic
line steamers. A considerable portion OF
potatoes used in this city come from Vir-
ginias eastern shore by way of Balti-
more.
In order to handle the heavy shipments
additional steamers have been put in
service. The steamers Pocomoke and
Eastern Shore, the regular boats on the
route to those counties. have for the past
week been making three trips each pei
week In order to get the crop to the
market.
Even with these two steamers running
day and night, the management has been
compelled to add the steamers Maggie
Old Point Comfort and the Tivoli on the
route to supply the necessary facilities
for freighting the product.
The season started about one week ago
and already about $1,000 barrels have
been brought to Baltimore.

SAYS FISH LIKE PETTING.
Capt. Heron, Now at Seattle, Tell:
of Piscatorial Emotions.

Capt. L. G. Heron, one of the experts
on fish culture of the bureau Of fisheries,
in Charge of Bryans Point propagating
station on the Potomac for several years,
is now at the Seattle exposition in charge
of the fisheries building of the govern
ment exhibit.
According to a story sent out from
Seattle. Capt. Heron contends that fish
have much sagacity and are capable of
being made ch ldren's pets. An example
of the wisdom of the fish, he says. is
shown In the lake trout tank at the fish,
cries building.
When the fish see the pail in which
their food is kept they become greatly
agitated and churn the water into frOth
with their leaping and rushing about the
tank. When the keepers approach the
tank there is no demonstration, but the
moment the shiny tin pail is displayed
the fish appear to be moved by strong
emotion.
One big trout is a pet and is unusually
fond of being caressed. When the keeper
dips his hand slowly into the water the
trout rises and rubs against the mans s
fingers, just as a cat rubs against the
leg of person it likes. When the keeper
gently strokes the fish's stomach 1t stops
waving its fins and Is quiet.
The fish is shy on facial expression and
its eyes cannot indicate Joy like those of
a dog. but the attitude of the trout when
petted appears to- show pleasure.

the baby show which was conducted by
Manager Goodfellow and closed at noon.
There we're nearly four hundred entries.
and fully as many more who felt they

complied with the terms of the contest.
The trying task of deciding which was
the prettiest. the cutest, the fattest. the
smallest the youngest and the most
handsomely dressed babies. and the pref
| tiest and the youngest mothers. devolved
upon Judge William II. De Lacy of the
Juvenile Court. James +. West. secretary

ton, ana Virginia Temple of the Wash
ington Times. Entries were allowed up
to noon yesterday.
The Judges began their deliberations at
4:3O, but 1t was nearly o'clock when

announced by Judge De Lacy in the
dancing pavilion.
The decision was as follows:

necklace. The prettiest mother received
| a German silver card case and the
youngest mother rhinestone hatpin.
Applause followed the announcement by
Judge De Lacy of each award. but the
/ looks upon the faces of many of the
young mothers indicated that the deci-
sion of the judges would not have been
unanimously confirmed had it been put
| to a vote Of those selfsame mothers each
of whom, doubtless. and perhaps with
| some reason. believed her own precious
| little darling was the real thing in his
or her class. Still there was no outward
demonstration, and the impartial OBJ
| server thought that the intrepid judges
| had performed daring act and did the
best they could under the circumstances

fIREBo4I IN FINE CONDITION
INCREASED EFFICIENCY SHOWN
BY TEST YESTERDAY.
Commissioner Mcfarland Notes
What Craft Is Capable of
Doing-Praise For Crew.

More efficient than ever before is the
Districts fireboat.
Such was the verdict of Commissioners
Macfarland and a party of officials of the
fire department after they had witnessed
yesterday afternoon test of the Fire
fighter For more than an hour huge
streams of water were thrown from the
big monitors and turrets of the floating
fire engine. 1t was the opinion OF those
who noted the reach of the spray and
the volume of the water that no fire
could last long under such Niagara.
The craft was recently overhaufed
some of it's appartus changed and the
entire boat painted. Commissioner Mac
farland, who has supervision of the fire
department. determined that today was
A good time for the annual test and in
spection.
Beginning of the Test.
When he reached the wharf about
o'clock he was met by F. J. Wagner
chief engineer of the fire department, and
T NJ Robinson, superintendent of ma
chinery. The tines were cast off and the
boat started.
The service by one engine was first
tested. Four large streams were thrown
over the side. Then both engines were
put into service and the four turretS anC
two monitors were turned on. One hun
dred gallons of water were forced out
of the nozzles every second. each stream
reaching about 100 feet from the boat
Later a four-inch nozzle was put on the
big forward monitor and water was
thrown fully 200 feet. The single stream
threw about J,COO gallons of water pei
minute.
Adjusting of the Turrets.
The principal Improvement made in the
apparatus was the adjusting of the tur'
rets so that water can be thrown on q
small boat lying alongside. Formerly the
streams could not be thrS:vn on small
boats near the tireboat itself, but that
difficulty has been overcome and the
smallest craft can now be reached. This
Improvement was made by Supt. Robin
son, and Commissioner Macfarland was
generous in his praise of the increased
effectiveness of the floating firetighter.
While the test was under the genera
supervision of Fire Chief Wagner anc
Supt. Robinson, every member of the
crew worked hard to show just what the
boat can do. Capt. Stulz directed his
men to the best advantage. Those al
the nozzles were Privates L. e. Jones. r
l.. Wilson, J. B. Klein. NJ. r. Pratt, H. F
Stevens and ". Glynn. Engineer W. H
Harrison saw that the engines did their
work properly and Fireman G. r. kleir
kept up the necessary head of steam In
the boilers.
