Dealing in Futures.

The Paducah papers have pub

been sold to Dayton, Ohio, in the
central league. Secretary Aber-

Keeping Ecls at Homo.

Under the direction of Its biological
station at Copenhagen, the Danish
government has begun an interesting
effort to aid the fishermen of the Bal
tic by preventing the migration OF
cells from that sea into the ocean
The means employed Is barrier OF

trio lamps along a submerged cable
between the island of Fano and the
coast Of Funes. The effectiveness Of
such a barrier depends upon the fact
that the ellis migrate only during the
dark hours. Accordingly. as soon as
darkness begins in the season of mi
grafton, the lamps are Illuminated,
and thus wall of light is interposed
from which the cells recoil.
