.HE|RESS and WAITER CAUGHT

FOUND IN CHICAGO.

OF Long Flight to Evade
Capture.

Chicago, Jan. 11.-Living as father
and daughter, Roberta BUST de Janon,
the 17-year-old Philadelphia heiress,
and Frederick Cohan, waiter at the
Bellevue-Stratford hotel, who eloped
Dec. 20 from Philadelphia, and for
whom nationwide search was in.
stituted, were found and arrested here.
When policemen entered the house
Miss de Janon was playing with her
pet dog which she took with her in
her sensational disappearance with
Cohen, who is 43 years old, and mar.
ried man. Cohen was seated in an ad-
joining room reading. All three were
taken to the Chicago avenue police
station-the frightened girl, her dog
and Cohen.
The waiter at first protested against
arrest. He soon admitted his identity,
however, and Miss de Janon, sobbing
bitterly, pleaded with the authorities
to restore her to her relatives.
Story of Their Flight.
Cohen revealed to the officers the
story of their flight, flight extending
for thousands of miles through the
+, United States and Canada. and in
which trip to England was inter
rupted at Halifax because the boat
authorities would not permit the
| presence of Miss de Janon's pet dos
on the vessel. AT least that was Co
hens explanation of the abandonment
of the sea voyage which began at St
Johns, New Brunswick, but the police
believe he planned to leave the boa
at Halifax In order TO elude detectives
Cohen and Miss de Janon arrived
here Thursday and rented room i,
boarding house owned by Mrs
Frank Perrin. Cohen introduced tn
girl az his daughter Alice He identt
fled himself as Robert King and sal,
he was barber. and that he had JUS
arrived from Montreal in search @
work.
Will Waive Extradition.
Cohen is locked up at the Chicag
avenue station where he stated tina
he would waive extraadition proceed
ings and the Philadelphia police wer
notified to come to Chicago for tn
prisoner.
Miss de Janon and her dog wer
taken to the woman's department q
the Harrison street police station.
Cohen, vehemently denied that an
harm had come to Miss de Janon sine
she fled with him from her home.

value Of the Toad to Farmers.


Prof. Washburn Of the Minnesota d.
vision Of entomology, at University
farm, finds toads to he friends Of the
farmer, reports writer ii The Farmers
Guide. They feed entirely upon an in
credible number Of insects. The federal
department Of agriculture, investigating
the toad, discovers the startling fact
that in "a hours the insect food con-
summed by the toad equals in quantity
four times the capacity Of its stomach,
which is practically filed and emptied
four times every n hours. One hundred
and tifty.nine stomachs examined by the
department showed a content Of 10 per
cent. OF ants, l6 per cent. Of cutworms,
10 per cent. Of thousand legged worms,
Q per cent. Of caterpillars, s per cent. Of
ground beetles, 5 per cent. OF destructive
weevils, 3 per cent. Of grasshoppers, to-
gether with crickets, spiders, SOW bugs,
potato bugs and miscellaneous lot Of
other insects. Protect the toad. Teach
the thoughtless boy friendliness to this
helpless, harmless. useful animal.

Boiled Food for Horses.

Prof Henry is reported in the Indi-
ana Farmer as saying that boiled feed IS
useful for colts, brood mares and stall
lions, If fed two Or three times week,
and that draft horses being prepared for
sale Or exhibition may be given cooked
feed onee day. In his opinion, an ex-
eellent feed for horses Is made by boil
ing barley and oats in kettle with
considerable water and pouring the mass
over chaffed nay. allowing the whole to
stand until the hay is well softened.
Bran, roots and a small quantity Of oil
meal may be added also. The horse
not only requires less feed when idle
than when at work, but is actually in.
jured If the ration is not reduced on
days Of idleness Some feeders Of high
standing reduce the feed Of their work
horses on Sundays and holidays, in the
belief that even enc days feeding Of a
working ration while the horse is at
rest is injurious.

LUCRATIVE INDUSTRY.
The @Rhone" Fish Which Comes from
Ponds.

Ponds.
In his report on the trade Of Lyons,
Consul Edward Wears states that a
aourishing fish raising industry is car
ried on in the old principality Of the
Donbees, high lying plateau 10 the
north Of Lyons, dotted over with in
Vulnerable ponds, in which large qusnti-
ties Of carp and tench are bred and fat
tened for the market.
The industry has a rather curious his,
tory. After many years Of prosperous
existence, the ponds were drained at the
public expense about forty years ago,
on the ground that they rendered the
country unwholesome to live in, and the
land thus reclaimed was given over to
agriculture. But, after a time, an agta-
ton was set on foot for their REIN
statement, as constituting a source Of
wealth to the peasant proprietors 81.
perior to that afforded BIZ any form Of
agriculture; with the result that ten
years ago, at the instance of the
deputy for the district, an act Of parlia-
ment was passed BY which the ponds,
covering an area Of about 10000 hectares
t24,7l0 acresl were filed once more with
water and the old FISH growing business
revived
Since that time the industry has been
SO prosperous that another 1000 hectares
t4942 acresD Of ground have been turned
into ponds in the service Of this pisci.
culture, bringing the total area Of water
to 1900 hectares (29,652 acresl, from
which enormous quantities Of coarse
fresh wafer fish are taken every year
Part Of this catch is consumed in Lyons
after being kept in perforated boxes in
the Rhone for time in order TO get rid
Of the muddy flavor which the stag
nant water imparts to the fish, and part
goes to Paris, but by far the larger
portion is exported to Germany, where

and is in great demand.
This export trade IS carried on by
means Of large motor barges. which are
loaded at Lyons, whence they travel by
river and canal to the Rhine and along
that river and the Moselle to many
towns in Germany An idea Of the inn

which they will pass.
But there is another side to the ques-
ton, for II is maintained in many quar-
tiers that the existence Of these ponds is

but is also a source Of inconvenience to
Lyons itself, in that the presence Of sol
