A REAL FISH STORY.

The fish Is the fifth and last class
OF yertebrated animals. Like Reptiles
and Amphiblans. they have cold red
blood: (Jime was at fever heat on
this particular occasion) but, unlike
them, they are normally fitted for a
permanently aquatic life by being pro
yided with branchiyae or gills which
do not pass away, the covering Is OF
scales. Propulsion Is by fins. into
which tho four limbs Of the more
typical vertebrates are transformed.
The description OF this popular
species OF the genus Acipensar Is.
the body is elongated. almost cylind
rical, tapering conieally 10 hetero-
cereal tail. the skeleton IL cartilage
nous the skin Is covered with bony
scutes IN longitudinal rows. between
which are patches naked or furnished
only with small bony scales. The
Snout is prolonged far in front OF the
mouth. which Is situated on the und-
or side. and furnished with barbels.
This popular fish abounds in the wat
ers OF the Columbia river from It's
mouth and on to the head waters Of
the Snake river. II IL commonly
known among the fishermen as the
Sturgeon.
The participants In this story are

ing Atwood Fund.

Judging from the number of people
who visited The army aviation school
at College Park today a vast portion
of the population must be sitting VI
nights and devoting the day to invent
ing new airships. Nearly twenty per-
sons called at the headquarters today
to submit plans and drawings of new
air craft, while others brought models
of all kinds.
The inventors were received by Lieu
tenant Kirkland, who listened atten-
lively while the visitors recited the
merits of their aeroplanes and he made
memorandas for filing in the library
at the army aviation school. details of
these new>lnventions. Lieutenant Kirt-
land did not seem impressed with any
of the proposed aeroplanes.
Arthur L. Fox is having his aeroplane
repaired, and the machine will be in
charge of Edward A. Harris, at 537
Seventh street southeast, who expects
to have II in condition for flying in

Prominent residents of Washington
are perfecting plans to raise a purse
for Harry N. Atwood and there seems
to be no doubt that their efforts will
be successful.

lecture Friday morning was PLANT

ing notes on these lectures and the
notes after being rewritten are eN-
smined by Mr.. Herrick.
The high school instructors are
giving a series of talks on Big

being reviews of a series of articles
in The Outlook on the subject. On
Tuesday morning Miss Spicer gave
the first. the subject being, "Ad-

Thursday afternoon at the Pres
byterian church the high school held

bate and declaration. to decide who
should represent us at MontroSe in
the Western Slope contest to be
held tonight. Many of the pupils
have been under careful training for
several weeks in defamation. but in
debate. owing to some disagreement
on the question selected. only two
weeks preparation was made.
Practice has begun on the athletic
play with Superintendent Condit in
charge. Mr.. Dietrich has been per-
suaded to take the leading char
acter. The other places were filed

pupils by the faculty and these
pupils competing for places. Among

Freak Criminals.

Among the spasmodic freaks who
occasionally get in the tolls, two
principal ones have come promi-
nently before the American public.
First came Orchard, now comes
McManigal.
orchard coolly confessed to hav-
ing murdered a governor and COM
mttted numerous other henious
crimes. McManigal as audaciously
more so because he does not pre-
tend to religious influences-con-
fesses to have blown up the Los
angeles Times in connection with
the two McNamaras, and to have
used explosives to destroy proper
ty and lives in sixty-four other
cases.
McManigal tells his story in so
plausible a manner as to be con-
Vincing. if one could dispel the
doubt that a rational human being
could be such a fiend.
His arrest and that of the labor
leaders, McNamaras. grew out of
the dynamiting of the Los Angeles
Times several weeks ago, and their
trial bids fair to eclipse that of
Harry Orchard for the murder OF
Gov. Sternenburg.
AS in that case the detectives
claim the men are red-handed and
that they have the evidence to con-
vict them.
The labor unions claim, as in thai
case also, that it is a plot of the
detectives against the unions, and
have raised 100000 to defend the
McNamaras.
Either way it is a case that needs
all the sitting it can possibly get.
McManigal, like Orchard. is bound
to be the main goat, and it seems
strange that a man, or two men like
he and Orchard, should consent to
invite so sure a fate, without even
the motive of revenge upon their
alleged pals to stimulate them, or
moral qualms of conscience to i'm
rel such a confession.
1t is a pity that such damnable
deeds of degeneracy should have
to be discussed. even. in a country
boastine highly developed civiliza-
! ton. like our own, not to mention

Uncompahgre Region Mapped.

A good example of the science OF
topographic map making may be
seen in the map OF the Uncompah-
gre quadrangle, Colorado, recently
engraved and just printed on the
great photographic presses of the
| United States Geological Survey.
The area covered by the map is one
of the most rugged OF the Rocky
Mountain region. 1t includes q
stretch of the Black Canon of the
Gunnison River, portions OF the
Gunnison National Forest, the I'm
compahgre National Forest, and the
Cochetopa National Forest. The
northern portion of the quadrangle
is traversed by the main line of
the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad, &,
and the Lake City branch of that
railroad crosses it from north TO
south. Several hundred elevations
are noted on the map, and the alti-
tude of any point in the area can
/ be determined at a glance. with
approximate accuracy, by eXamina-
tion of the contour lines.
Wild and rugged as the uncom-
paA gre country is the traveller or
the camper, with one OF these maps
in hand, could locate himself at
once in any part of the area. 1t
| is high country indeed, many of
the plateaus and lakes being 5000
or 10000 feet above the sea. A
number of peaks in the eastern
portion of the quadrangle, to the
south of the mining district. are
termed "hills"-such as Milton
Hill. Iron Hill and Rudolph Hill
Examination of the map shows them
to be higher by several thousand
feet than the most lofty mountain
in the eastern half of the United
States. Uncompahgre Peak, with an
altitude of 1906 feet, is the high
est point in the quadrangle. but doz
ems of other peaks show elevations
of $4,000 or $4,000 feet.
The map is printed on scale OF
1.l25OOO or approximately = miles
to the inch. Although the survey OF
this quadrangle and the engraving
of the plates cost the Government
over 10000, the printed map can be
obtained from the Director OF the
United States Geological survey, at
Washington. for the nominal price
of cents copy or So per 100
copies-the cost of paper and print
ing. The area shown on the uncom-
pahgre map is just north of that
covered by the San Cristobal map
which is also sold at the same price
