80 Eish With DYnamite

The report has been somewhat
widely circulated that the fish in Lake
Andes are dying by thousands from
some unknown cause. That there are an
unusual number of dead fish on the
lake can not be denied but after care
full inquiry, tn fact seems to be that
some unknown parties have used dyna-
mite, but could not make away with all
the fish they destroyed. At any rate
there are an abundance of fish still in
the lake and they are as game as ever

try of Wisconsin, which. according
to the pea packers. is threatened
with serious loss by the operation OF
the new law limiting the hours OF
labor for women to hfty-iive hours
per week.
II is said that the canning inter-
csts will appeal to the courts on the
proposition that the courts may have
the right to grant a permit for can
ming companies to employ women
more than fifty-five hours a week
The industrial commission itself has
no authority to grant a permit, but
1t is possible that the courts may be
able to do so.
In the event that the petition is
denied a number of canning concerns
throughout the state, operating more
than one plant, may close part of
their plants and employ the force in
operation of the other plants as a
relief force.

his groans. summoned physicians,
who decided an immediate operation
was necessary to save his life. The
physicians who were summoned to
attend the minister are of the opin-
ion that RichesoH did not intend to
commit suicide. This opinion is also
shared by District Attorney Pelle-

Richesons injuries are in the vi

tin with which they were inflicted
had been fashioned into the shape

MYSTERY OF LAKE BAIKAL
Contains Many Organisms Ap-
parentIy Marine.

The riddle cs Lake Baikal, In cen
trail Asia. is similar to that of Lake
Tanganyika, In central Africa In both
cases large body of fresh water. re-
mote from the ocean, contains organ
tsins apparently marine. Both lakes.
again, contain a very large number Of
species not found elsewhere. Lake Bal
kali contains numerous salmon and
seals as well as three species of her
ring. 1t also contains few mollusca
Of apparently marine forms.
One of the most remarkable fea-
lures of the lake. perhaps, is that, al
though 1t is frozen over for about five
months in the year, the animal life is
extremely abundant and varied. This
may be partly accounted for, perhaps.
by the existence of hot springs.
One of the latest attempts to an
swer the riddle of Lake Baikal Is that
of the Russian Investigator Berg. OF
the SO specimens of fish found in the
lake he finds that II are pc .uliar to
IL. while 10 have a wide distribution
in Siberia and Europe.
Many OF these peculiar z scies are
without near relations amy here. or
the mollusca 90 per cent. are peculiar.
Berg does not think tn facts de-
mand the hypothesis that the lake was
once marine. He believes that it has
always been fresh and that the fauna
peculiar to 1t have had twofold or
igin. A part has originated in the
lake itself during the long ages OF its
existence. and the rest is portion OF
the prehistoric fresh water fauna OF
Siberia which it has preserved. -Har.
