at Decorah, on Tuesday, decided that
the petition of consent, approved by
the Board of Supervisors. was insult

was refused by Judge Hobson. As a
result of this ruling, every saloon in

TEMPERATURE OF OCEAN.
Atlantic Deeps Colder Than Former
ly-Floating Meadows.

Sir John Murray called attention to
the fact that the temperature of the
ocean is changing. The Atlantic deeps
are colder now than at the time of
the Challenger expedition, 35 years
ago, and there is apparently cvcle
of this change in the North Atlantic.
In the North Sea the spawn,ng
grounds are distinctly the places of
current from the Atlantic, and for the
different fish correspond With the de-
grees of salinity of the water. What
the reason for this is has not yet been
determined but it is important from
the food of man standpoint to know
where the fish are to be found and
why the places to which they resort
change.
The different fish select spawning
grounds and they distribute themselves
from a given center. this having been
determined by means of marked indi-
vduals.
Another interesting story was the
means of telling the age of the fish.
The otoliths, or as they are popularity
called earbones, can be used for this
purpose on much the same principle as
the trunk of It tree gives evidence OF
ITS growth. In both there are rings,
one for each year. The scales OF Ger
tain of the fishes give similar indica-
lions. The herring may grow to eleven
or twelve years. BY the width in the
earlier rings the fish may be located
as to spring or fall hatch. Further
than this there is evidence Of certain
Years being better for the propagation
Of fishes than others. The catches OF
