Urges Farmers to Raise Fish.

There are signs that the time is
not far distant" said William E. Nee
han, former state commissioner of
fisheries and present state director of
the public aquarium in Fairmount Park,
when farmers will consider fish cul-
ture as important a part of their call
ing as the raising of grain or pota-
toes or pountry. When that day ar
rives the fish industry OF Pennsylvania
will rank as high as any other indus
try.
There are few farms in Pennsyl-
vania without springs, a stream and
swampy land OF which no use is
made and upon which the farmer pays
taxes without any return. Most OF
the streams and the springs and the
swamp land could be utilized for the
rearing of fish. Under intelligent care
an otherwise useless piece of wet land
can be made to yield as much. acre
for acre. as the most fertile land"-
Philadelphia North American.

A prisoner was being tried in an
English court for murder; evidence
against him purely circumstantial;
part of 1t hat found near the scene
of the crime-an ordinary, round,
black hat, but sworn to as The pris-
oRer's. Counsel for the defense, or
course, made much OF the commonness
of the hat. You, gentlemen, no doubt
each of you, possess such a hat, or
the most ordinary shape and make.
Beware how you condemn a fellow
creature to a shameful death on such
a piece of evidence" and so on. So
the man was acquitted. Just as he
was leaving the dock, with the most
touching humility and simplicity, he
said: IF you please, my lord, may
ave my 'at?"

Songs of Day Before Yesterday.

We made up catalogue recently OF
popular songs of the last two decades.
Hardly was it set IN type before
those omitted began TO swarm to
memory. "Shoo Fly! Don't Bother
Me" might have been added to the old
timers. There were: Put Me OF
at Buffalo, And Her Golden Hair
Was Hanging Down Her Back, ION
the Banks OF the Wabash Far Away"
Rosie O'Grady," Take Me Back,
Back, Back to Baltimore" and I'D
Leave My Happy Home for You-oo-oo-
1000" "Goodby, Dolly Gray" "She
Was Happy Till She Met You," Be
della, Sammy" and Teasing" had
their intense and fieeting existence.
Too popular to be overlooked were:
"Mr. Dooley," "In the Shade of the
Old Apple Tree" Everybody Works
but Father, Waiting at the Church"

we're transitory except "There'll Be

IS MOST HYBRID OF WORDS
Remacadamlzing Comes From Latin,
Gaelic, Hebrew, Greek and
Finally English.

The most hybrid word In the Eng
lish language. according to Prof. A.
r. Chamberlain OF Clarke university.
is 'remacadamizing Prof. Clarke
points out that this word is derived
from FIVE languages-Latin. Gaelic.
Hebrew, Greek and English. He re-
solves II into five factors as follows:
l. re, a Latin prefix. signifying a
repetition or doing over again.
2. mac, a Gaelic word for son, In
common use as prefix for genealog-
lcal purposes.
3. Adam, the representative In many
European languages of the Hebrew
name OF the first man, according to
the Mosaic account of the creation as
given in the book of Genesis.
4. IL Cor ize), the modern English
representative, through the French.
lser, of the Greek verbal terminal
lzein.
s. ing, the English sufflx of the par
ticiple present, verbal noun, etc.
The root of the word ''macadam"
illustrates in another way the vitality
Of our English speech and its ability
to draw new words into its Vocabulary
whenever the need arises. The term
"macadam" is really the family name
Of the man. John Macadam, who In
1919 devised the now common meth
Dd of paving roads with small broken
stones, etc.
Celtic and Semitic had already CON-
bined TO produce Macadam, meaning
son of ADAM" which the English
language then took up and further
nodded to suit its genius. There are
many such hybrids. but this is prob
ably the worst.-Popular Science

R''"'''@''es's

The house centipede has but recently
come TO Chicago. Another name for it is
"skein centipede," from the tangled, thread
like appearance of the numerous legs,
which easily detach themselves when the
animal is captured or crushed under foot.
The house centipede belongs to the
same family as the very poisonous cent?
pede of the southern states and its home
was originally in that part of the country,
but since we have continuous summer con-
ditions here in our warm fiat buildings the
house centipede has gradually moved north

HEADLESS BODY FOUND
IN BLACK HAND TRACT
Trunk of Human Being Yet
Warm and Securely Bound
Found in Ash Pit.

st. Louis. Mo-, Jan. 20.-The head
less body of a man was found in an
ash pit in the rear Of 1922 North Ninth
street by a patroiman at $3.50 O'Clock
this morning. The body was yet warm
and the man apparently had not been
dead any great length Of time.
The body was first seen by q negro,
who said he also saw the head. When
the patrolman reached the ash pit the
head was missing. The negro later
said he might have mistaken some
other object for the head. The general
appearance Of the torso and it's cloth
ing indicated that the murdered man
may have been Of foreign birth.
The scene is in the heart Of what is
called by the police the BLACK Hand
district" The body was tied between
a blanket and a mattress, a clothes
line being used. The knees were where
the chin should be and the hands un-
der the knees. The rope had been
passed under the knees a second time.
The corpse appeared as If the head
had been cut off after, rather than be.
fore the form had been tied.
