coLoRlNe FISHES.

Flowers can be artifcially colored,
we know, with more or less success
by chemical agency. Animals gener-
ally escape counterfeiting, with few
exceptions. The latest in counter
feiting is the carp.
In Sicily it is said that by intro
ducing into the water chalk, iron and
little peat, colors will be impart-
ed to the carp. After treatment in
a bath of these concomitants for a
fortnight the fish is given another
chemically prepared bath, into which
is introduced iron and tan. BY in
creasing or diminishing the quanti-
ties the colors can be either accentu-
ated or diminished. The process is
somewhat hazardous, but we learn
from a Paris contemporary that in
the end an apparently new species
of ornamental fish is produced,
which commands a high price,,

EXCEPTIONAL WEATHER.

Last summers weather was un-
usual throughout the world. While
Europe and the United States were
abnormally warm, the greater part
of South America was experiencing
an exceptionally cold winter. While
the drought in this country and Eu-
rope was most severe, South Ameri-
ca was treated to a drenching prob
ably unprecedented in that part of
the world. From the meteorological
log books Of a number of vessels it
appears that the trade winds over
the north Atlantic were exception
ally strong during the summer of
1911. During the same period the
meteorological station at Punta Are
mas, at the southern extremity of
South America, noted the highest
average wind velocities for fifteen
years, September being the stormiest
month on record.

GOT EVEN WITH BISMARCK
on the Great Chancellor for
His Bearish Behavior.

Bismarck was no favorite with
women, least of all with clever wom-
en- who dared to think for them
selves and imagine that they could
fathom questions Of state. He was
never tired of snubbing strong
minded ladies, putting them down,
and stamping on them. One day
he paid a visit to the Russian en-
bassy at Berlin, where he behaved as
usual, fouting even the mistress Of
the house, the Countess SchouvaloH,
herself. He took his leave at length,
to the relief Of everybody, and pres
emily the family mastiff was heard
barking at the great man as he
passed through the courtyard. I'M
mediately the countess ran to the
open window, and Bismarck heard
her voice, saying to him in tone
of gentle entreaty, ooh, please, M.
lie Chancellor, don't bite my dog"

Since the recent announcement
that Judge Marcus A Kavanagh
would appear this season on most of
the chautauquas of Indiana, Mich.
gan. KentucAy and Tennessee, he
mas been receiving many invitations
to attend banquets in various towns
and cities of these states while on
this tour. The Knights of Colum-

strong aud Judge Kavanagh is one
of the best known members of this
order in the country.
At the recent state conventions Of
the Knights of Columbus in Indiana,
Kentucky and Tennessee, it is under
stood that announcement was mac e
of all the chautauquas on which he
is To appear in each of those states

CITY THAT PAID IT'S BILLS
After Centuries TokIo's Credit Was So
Good II Borrowed S46,o0o,o0o
Easily.

Toxic, the capital Of Japan, has
about two million people. Recently
it bought it's street railway and cleo
trio light systems, paying for them
by a sale of bonds to the amount of
$4,000, 900, divided among London,
Paris and New York.
The prospectus literature states,
no doubt correctly, that the city has
a debt of only ~ millions of dol
lars ahead Of this new loan. Where
is the occidental community Of two
million inhabitants that can COM
pare with such a showing? Where
is the large city that could borrow,
in one fotation, seven times as much
as all its existing debt?
1t would seem that in municipal
management the japanese have
something to show us. Apparently
the very ancient city of Toxic has
been running for centuries on the
general principle Of pay as you go.
1t has been struggling along without
the highly civilized expedient of Dor
rowing all it can induce the finan-
eiers to loan, and passing on the bill
to posterity.-Munsey's Magazine.
