A Ticklish Job.

For eleven years the task of shipping
live fish from Bermuda to the aquarium
at Battery Park, New York, has been
successfully performed by Charles L.
Bristol, professor of biology at New York
University. The fishing-grounds,
writer in the New York Sun says. are on
the reefs which form an irregular ring
about twenty-five miles long and twelve
miles wide, and are submerged from ten
to twenty feet below the surface OF the
water. The fishing is carried od in well
smacks, which are ordinary fishing-boats
| with wells sunk in them about midshipS.
The fish are caught in pots made OF poul-
try-fence wire, and patterned after pots
made two hundred years ago OF cedar
twigs and palmetto leaffibers. The pots
are hauled twice week.
The headquarters of Professor Bristol
are on Whites Island, at the mouth OF
Hamilton harbor. His party meets the
incoming fishermen, selects good speci-
mems of the fish and transfers them to large
cars, six feet wide and twelve feet long,
made of wire gauze and wood, painted
with copper paint. They are submerged
| in the water.
The fish are kept in quarantine at least
a week before shipping. The reason Tor
this is that if any fish is bruised or scared
it will die within three days. About one
fourth of the fish bought are in perfect
condition
While in quarantine the fish are fed but
once week. They are never fed within
three days OF shipment. The reason for
this is that they are susceptible to seaSick-
ness. This is fact that was costly to
Professor Bristol until he learned it,
When the passage from Bermuda to
New York used to take four days, he fed
the fish out of the kindness OF his heart;
but he found that as soon as he struck
rough weather they Spurned their food,
and if this food remained in the tanks it
caused the death of all the fish.
When New York is reached, the tanks
are placed on carts and drawn quickly to
the aquarium. The fish are then placed
in the tanks there and fed forlthe first time
in five days.
Here another valuable point in connec-
with the fast becomes evident. If ami
mails OF any kind are put into confinement
hungry, they soon become accustomed
TO this confinement and will take
food in it, but if they are put
into the confinement when not hungry,
they will rebel against it and refuse to ]
take food.
The work is so well systematized now
that the loss in transportation rarely ex-
ceeds one in fifty. This is the more re-
markable when il is realized that the boat
caves the warm waters ofth Gulf Stream
about two hundred miles before il reach
es port, and the ocean temperature then
suddenly drops twenty degrees Fahren-
heit.
The precautions which Professor BriS-
tol takes to overcome the sudden change
in temperature are the secret OF his sue
cess, which he has never divulged.

Telephone Service for
the Farmer!

A telephone may be only convenience
to a city man, il is necessity to the
Farmer. Think what it means to sit at
home and be in instant communication
with your neighbors, the stores in town,
your doctor, in fact, the whole world.
Self preservation is the first law OF nature.
1t is almost criminal for farmer to be
without phone.
Does cents day seem so very much
to pay for all the comfort and profit OF a
telephone on the farm ?
Apostal, or a call by telephone will
bring an agent to see you.

Money IN treasury.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. Is. =
The state of Mississippi is no
longer pauper. It's got
money IL its old tobacco box, :"
that hasn't been paid out yet.
Yesterday $28. 200 worth of
state bonds were signed up, de-
livered and paid for and the
money turned over to the state
treasurer, and that individuals S
face was wreathed in smiles as
he heard the familiar jingle of
the coin in the money box once
more.
These. are not all the bonds that
have been spoken for by a long
shot, but the Governor found
checks for that amount awaiting
him on his return from his trip
to the northwest and immediate
" proceeded to make the ex-
change SO that the state could
have something with which to
meet its obligations as they are
presented, or at least to settle
its pay roll when due.
The Columbus commercial. (Columbus, Miss.) 1893-1922, 1910-09-18

The fire department was called
to the extreme southwest por-
ton of the city about 9 O'Clock
Wednesday night, when it was
discovered that a two story
frame building, once used by the
old wooden ware factory was on
fire. The cause of the blaze is
not known as the building was
unoccupied. The firemen found
it impossible to get a line of
hose out to the building in time
to do any good as it was located
some distance out of the corpo-
ration, on land owned by the
First State Bank.
About 1887 the building was
Put up and used as part of the
wooden ware factory which was
started by Messrs. Wyman and
Loyn of Cincinnati, but which
ran for only a short time.

claimants, some one hundred and
fifty in this county alone, can
hear from him much valuable in
formation. From Lowndes he

Messrs. Fl. A. Camp. w. S. f.
Tatum and Judge N. C. Hill
We're chosen to go before the
committee as representatives of
Hattiesburg, and their choice,
judging by results, must have
been wise. "Hattiesburg made
a game fight, " is the way out
siders expressed it, and it is
the general opinion that the
committee acted solely for the
best interests of the great school
in making their choice. While
there is, of course, considerable
disappointment in Jackson, and
will doubtless be in Laurel, still,
all patriotic citiz ems of the state
will now be ready to combine for
the upbuilding and well-being of
State Normal Col
lege.
Hattiesburg announced that all
details would be arranged and
work begun on the buildings as
soon as possible, and that the
college will be ready to open
some time next year.

Mrs. Mary Sanford Dies

Mrs. Mary Sanford, wife of
Mr.. w. F. Sanford, died at her
home on south 8th avenue last
Tuesday after an illness of three
days. 1t will be remembered
that two of the Sanford children
passed suddenly away the week
before Mrs. Sanford S death, and
two of the other children have
been in the C, lumbus Hospital
for malaria. The peculiar cir
cumstances of the illness in this
family caused the physician to
hold a post-mortem examination
of Mrs. Sanford's 5 body, but they
found no trace Of unnatural
symptoms, and malaria is sup
posed to have been the cause.
The admiration of the entire
community was expressed for
the oldest son who, although
sick, kept at his post of duty in
order to help support the family,
until he was almost dead, and
his heroism is an object lesson.
The funeral of the mother took
place Wednesday morning con-
