STRAW KILLS TONS OF FISH
indiana Health Expert Believes He
Has Solved Puzzle Where Fac
tory Refuse Is Dumpted.

Muncie, Ind.-A complete investiga-
ton of the slaughter of fish in the
Mississinnewa river, when tons of fish
were found dead in the stream, is be-
ing conducted in Delaware and Grant
counties by State Fish Commissioner
Miles.
The secretary of the state board Of
health, DR.. ]. N. Hurry, has advanced
new reason for the death of fish in
streams that are used by strawboard
companies. He says that in his opin-
ion there Is no poison in the refuse
emptied into the water from straw
board and paper mills that is destruo-
tive to animal life, as has always
been supposed, but that the fish are
killed by minute particles Of straw,
from this refuse, entering their gills
and shutting of their supply OF oxy.
gen.
The strawboard companies say, as
indicative Of the purity of the water
in the streams below their mills. that
cattle on farms will leave the pure
water of the streams to drink that
which is slightly colored with the ref
use from the strawboard mills. and
the companies further say that milk
and butter from cows drinking the
adulterated water is purer and sweet.

Chamberlain Face.

One of Sir BENJAMIN Stones more
frequent sitters has been Mr.. Cham
berlain. who. once speaking Of his
own portrait, said: ut has been re-
marked that bear q resemblance TO
Pitt. / am afraid that my testimony
to this resemblance would have little
value. But II 1t could be alleged that
any likeness existed between that
great statesman, not bodily or men,
tally, but in his aspirations, in his de-
sire to be of use to his country, then
/ should be proud indeed" Perhaps
the last photograph ever taken of Mr..
Chamberlain was that by Sir Ben
tamin at the notable fetes in Birming-
ham to celebrate the great statesman's
SEVENTEEN birthday. At the house of
commons Mr.. Chamberlain was ever
ready to help his colleague. and on
one occasion volunteered to go and
hunt up the reluctant Michael Davitt
and bring him to the spot for the pur-
pose.

Lunch In South.

New to me-" said traveller lately
returned from his first trip In the
south, was the lunch table on wheels
that they push alongside the trains
there for the convenience of passen-
gers in the cars. We saw one OF
these at station in North Carolina.
Table, maybe four feet long by two
feet wide, built rather high and set
upon wheels big enough SO that the
table could be moved about on them
easily Sort of two-story table this,
the lower story being practically a
long, broad shelf underneath, on which
they keep supplies from which to re-
plenish the things on sale-oranges,
bananas, sandwiches and so on. At a
station where there is no dining room
or where the train doesn't stop long
they roll this table along at the side
of the cars; the table top Is high
enough for passengers to reach the
things on 1t from the car windows

TO DO AWAY WITH FUCKER
Department Of Agriculture Has E~
psrlmsnted with the PersImmon
for Years.

Puckerless persimmons are now be,
Ing experimental with by the depart.
ument Of agriculture In the hope that
they may be added to the list of valu-
able American fruits, the Washington
Star says. The experiments are being
carried on both In Washington and in
the south, the first to take the pucker
out of otherwise desirable persim-
mons, and the second to grow persim-
mons that have no quicker to take out.
The persimmon has been problem
with the department for many years,
There are some big varieties that
look almost like tomatoes and that
make beautiful spoon fruit when
they are ripe, but they cannot be
taken to market after they get ripe,
because then they are too soft to
transport. The result has been that
many of he citrus fruit dealers who
handle them have come to look upon
them largely as table decoration.
Great. lucious looking persimmons are
shipped. nicely wrapped In tissue pa
per, and sometimes on the wrapper
the packer prints caution to the con.
sumner to keep the persimmon until
it Is ripe and soft. But the consumer
does not. and there Is another enemy
added to the long list of people who
think the big persimmon is a delu-
sion.
There is another problem on which
the department worked at one time
and that was the production Of a seed
less persimmon. A tree of this sort
was discovered outside of Washing
ton on a Maryland farm, and 1t was
thought II the seedless variety could
be grated on some of the native
trees that new fruit would be pro-
duced that In it's way would equal the
seedless orange. Nothing ever came
of this experiment, but among the
varieties of the big persimmon that
have been introduced from China
there Is one that is seedless and that
may be raised into fruit that will
fill long-felt want.

Loahna.

II loaf and invite my SOUL. sang
Walt Whitman In one of his '.bara-
barrie yawps" that has sounded lover
the roofs of the world" And 1t is no
doubt the best, profoundest, and high
est thing ever said or sung about
loafing.
The soul-if we may be so fortunate
as to have one, in the real and high
significance of the word-will hardly
come to our mundane aid, no matter
how often we may invite It, unless we
loaf. We do not, in our ordinary
business of living, give 1t chance to.
visit us. Like the virtues and arts, 1t
demands large leisure and far hori-
IONS. That is why the poets and
thinkers possess Soul" and we ordl,
nary mortals do not. Our life is too
narrow, too "cabined, cribbed, con
fined" Soul escapes or shuns us while
we grope in our huddled and clut-
tered existence. We must loaf" and
invite it.
Loafing is good for us--now and
then. AS habit II is very bad; but
even good CUSTOM" as Tennyson
assures us, would corrupt the world"
were it not for wholesome change and
variety. And an occasional loaf, wheth-
er voluntary or enforced, may be
salutary.

WERE WED IN
DIRTGIBLE BALLOON
San Antonio Couple and Presbyterian
Clergyman Soar About 800 Feet
Over a Texas City.

San Antonio, Jan. 16.-While soaring
aloft over San Antonio in a dirigible
balloon at the height of 500 feet, Miss
Marie Shelton and w. Walter Stowe,
the well known young people of San
Antonio, were united in marriage this
afternoon. The ceremony was perform
ed by Rev. J. III. Adams of the Cum
berland Presbyterian church.
The balloon was piloted by Captain
II. Z. Honeywell of st. Louis. The
wedding was actually in the clouds, as
the air was foggy and misty.
The young couple enjoyed honey
moon trip of 35 miles across the coun-
try before the balloon was brought to
the earth. The party landed in the
woods, and had to walk three miles
before finding an automobile which
brought them to San Antonio.

MONKEY THATTALKS
PROFESSOR GARNER BRINGS US
A WONDERFUL APE.
Animal From. Africa Jungle to Dem.
onstrate Theory Of Chimpanzee
intelligence, So the Profess
sor Says.

New York.-After living for seven
years In bamboo hut in the heart OF
the African jungle with only two
negro servants and wild chimpanzees
and gorillas for companions, Professor
Richard l.. Garner, the anthropologist,
has reached New York with Susie"
the 7-months-old ape, who can talk
ana understand the English language.
For twenty years Professor Garner
has made a study of the animals that
Darwin declared were our ancestors,
and In 1903 he sailed on his fourth
trip to Cape Lopez, Western Africa;
his purpose being, as he said, to watch
and learn the habits of the chimpan-
zee In It's wild state and to observe it's
capabilities without suggestion or
training and most important of all, to
discover If the ape is able to distin-
guish different colors and forms.
He has returned with proof that the
chimpanzee cannot only distinguish
the difference between red, white, and
blue, but that 1t can tell the differ
Ience between half dozen shades of
red, the difference between a sphere,
cube and cylinder and that 1t has
language of its own, consisting Of a
vocabulary Of about twenty words.
Susie spent most of her voyage in
cage In the butchers room, but part
of the time she was on deck. She has
little chair that she carries about,
and when told to come here" sit
down" or 'laugh" she obeys with sol.
dierly alarcrity. When a match Is
lighted she cries out in a sQueaky
voice, "Feu." the French word for fire.
During my four expeditions / have
had total of twenty-five chimpanzees
and nine gorillas in my house." said
Professor Garner. "They were all
young ones, which l bought from ma
tives to experiment with. let them
have their freedom, but they always
came back at night to sleep. The 60
rfllas were not so tractable and occa-
sionally l had to confine and guard
them. In my opinion the chimpanzee
Is the highest type Of the lower ami
mails and has the most brain power"
Professor Garner declared that from
his studies OF the chimpanzee he is
convinced that 1t has bad memory
and does not remember grievance
for very long and that 1t has not the
resentment Of the human being. Nell
Their has the native Of Congo, he add
ed, the resentment of the white man.
I'm my opinion. It will not be very
long before champanzees will be able
to speak a language that we under
stand" Professor Garner continued.
They will not only be able to repeat
words, but they will know the mean.

COLD STORAGE PLANTS ARE
Compelled To DlSGORGE
OWING TO SUPPLY.
Many Chicago Firms Fail AS Result
of Fake Prices-Much Produce Has
Been in Warehouses for Nearly Five
Years Millions of Pounds on Hand
Prices Sure to Fall.

Chicago, Jan. 17.-Millions of pounds
of butter, eggs, cheese and poultry held
in the cold storage warehouses here
will be thrown on the market before
May 1, and general tumbling of food
prices is expected at once, according
to commission merchants.
Numerous Chicago commission men
are said to be facing failure as re-
suit of their efforts to maintain an
artificial price on the neeessaries of
life. The inability further to uphold
this price is said to be due to a combin-
alton of circumstances, chief of which
are the open winter of 1911 and the
banner crops of 1910.
Three Merchants Fail.
Three commission men failed last
week, as the result of holding great
quantities of butter, which they pur-
chased at an average price of 81 cents
a pound, and now are unable to mar
ket for more than 81 or % cents.
While the wholesale prices of but
ter and eggs have dropped decidedly
within the last few weeks, there has
been no decline in retail prices.
Some Produce Five Years Old.
Much of the produce to be unloaded
on a falling market has been in the
warehouses for as long as five years.
Thirty-two warehouses are known to
have 100000 pounds of butter, eggs
and poultry.
The increased sale of oleomargarine
is given as an added cause for the stu
alton the commission men are now fac
ing.
Butter is 6 cents a pound lower
wholesale than it was year ago, and
is selling at the lowest figure in five
years.
The Declines in Prices.
An indication of the decline in the
last 10 days is shown in the following:
January Eggs, fresh, Sac; prime,
32e; firsts, SOC. January 15-Eggs,

duced.
