The fishermen in some parts at
Portugal make material increases in
the amoun Of their catch by the use Of
luminous bait. This is done by a
huid secured from the body OF a fish
which Is quite plentiful in the waters
Of that country, while it is quite rare
in other parts Of the world. The fluid
is spread in a piece of meat bait and
the effect Of the application may be
observed at once The luminosity in
creases as the bait is placed in the
water. and the attention Of the fish
IL attracted to 1t at once.

It has been shown by recorded tests,
made principally abroad, that by the
means OF systematic exercise the ca
pacity OF the lungs may be increased to
the extent of more than IL per cent.
This figure vas the average increase
noted In the gymnasium at Bonn. In
some individual cases the benficent
results OF the exercise were far greater,
but the lung capacity of the average
student on entering the institution was
found to be 207 cubic inches. whereas
after a course OF training 1t was In
creased by 25 cubic inches.

Some odd ~disparities have been found
to exist in the sadness Of the sea water
In different oceans and ATTITUDES. For
. number OF these A. Woeikow in his
recently published book, ''Ueber den
6alzgehalt des Meeres," presents in
genious explanations. The Atlantic
ocean is known to be about one-siN-
tieth more salty than the Pacific n
two-sixtieths more so than the Indian
ocean. This is in spite of the fact that
1t receives considerably more fresh
water drainage in proportion to its
extent, an apparent anomaly.

BUILDING STEEL DEMAND.
Phenomenal Increase in Orders and
Capacity of Mills Is Taken I'm.

The steel manufacturing interests, not
ably the United States Steel Corporation,
are offering every inducement in their
power to arrest or restrain anything like
a speculative or moving demand for mill
products.
While prices are fractionally advancing
in quoted rates. consumers themselves are
responsible for the greater advances not
quoted shown in premium prices.
The accumulation of orders at the mills
is taking up capacity far into the spring.
Railroad requirements continue to be the
predominating factor.
General building requirements are heav-
Ter than they have been for years. New
requirements are appearing in the hori-
zon of extraordinary proportions. All of
the minor iron and steel products are
hardening in price, and phenomenal con-
dition exists. as to which there are no
indications of termination.

A Quaint Old Warehouse.
From the Manchester Guardian.

From the Manchester Guardian.
I may add to my note about the old
warehouse in Criticized Fr.ars. which is
about to be demolished. a word about the
curious merchandise it contains. Buyers
from all Europe meet on its wide floors
to finger samples of queer merchandise
gathered from distant seas and tropical
forests. 1t is the market for mother-of-
pearl, and boxes of strange sea shells
that would perhaps puzzle a concholo-
gist lie ranged open for specialists to
sample. All the torto!seshell that comes
into the English market from Zanzibar.
Honduras. Havana or the Bahamas
passes into it's keeping until experts have
decided whether it Is from the tortoise
or the hawksbill turtle. whether it is
worth a hundred and twenty shillings a
pound only SIX (for that is the range
of values). and whether It can be imi
tated in cellulOid or not. Stranger still
are the rare products used in the drug
trade-bales of sarsaparilla root from
the Matte Crosse hinterlands of Brazil.

Neglected Street Signs.
the New York Trjbuna

From the New York Tribune.
The City Club recently took the trouble
to make census of Manhattan street
signs and found that in the lower part
of the borough there is a shortage of 81
per cent in necessary guideposts to the
native or visiting w2yfarer. 1t is the
more notable evidence o: official lethargy
that in the parts of the borough where
signs are most needed they are most con-
spicuous by their absence. Uptown,
where the street plan is absolutely reg.
ular and fewer legends would suffice to
keep the traveller from stray wing, he
signs are more abundant. but downtown.
where the streets are crisS-cross and are
named instead of numbered. there is a
greater deficiency in saving information.
Any one who travels much about Nah
attain n the SUFFICE cars can testify TO
the generally deplorable condition of our
street sim system or pra ctice. The city
authorities have not Vet entirely awak-
ened TO the fact that the era of the "a
lamppost legends has passed away. Tia
lamppost still fiourshes I'm the cross
blocks. which are dong and dark. but at
the intersection Of the cross streets and
the up and down streets or avenues cleo
trio lights have displaced gas to a great
extent. and many of the old corner gas
lamppoStS now serve no purpose but-ee
perpetuate dingy street signs. hard -
read by daylight and largely i.egibls
after dark.
1t is time To devise new system and
TO put all street signs in places where
they can easily be decipered either by
day or night. If the signs were always
put in the same places at each inter-
section the public would easily get ac-
customed to looking for them there III
they We're all alike or nearly alike in
character and If in the design adopted
some regard We're shown for looks as
we'll as le2.bility, the outward APPEAR
ance of the city would be improved and
a great convenience would be supplied
to the hundreds of thousands of visitors
who try to find their way unassisted
about New York.

Houses Seem to Belong"

And this has been done in such a pol
ished manner that there is no sense OF
incongruity-the Philadelphia suburban
houses seem to belong" where they are
with all the unstudied ease and graceful
assurance of well bred people. They
have personality. with an undeniable
charm, that would acclimatize them any
where north of the Mason and Dixon
line. 1t Is impossible to say whether
they are American with an English &C
cent or English with an American in
donation. They are indeed SO clever as
to make analysis rather risky under
taking.
Nor can such architecture. when 1t is
carried out with such evident sincerity on
the part Of the architects. and when such
frank use is made of native materials and
native methods of construction, be ever
feared an element which might dena-

Simple Country Sewerage Plant.

The general use in country homes OF
the conveniences of the bath and toilet
has made necessary some effective and
inexpensive means of disposing Of the
sewage. Otherwise the drinking water
will be polluted and the health of the
family endangered. Entire satisfac
ton is obtained by the use of the sep
tic tank which is nothing but a long
water-tight cistern. through which the
sewage passes very slowly and evenly.
Located underground. it is warm and
dark-ideal conditions for the develop
ment of bacteria, little germs which
eat up the, sewage and render 1T harm
less in much the same manner
other kind causes cider to ferment.
The purifisl sewage. then merely clear
water. may be discharged into an ordi-
nary farm drain tile.
