The Lump Fish.

Did you ever hear OF the lump fish
Well, it's a peculiar species found in
salt water. This strange fish possesses
a sucker formed by two ventral fms.
which are so shaped that when the
fish reclines on a rock the fms act as
suckers and hold it firmly. As soon as
the eggs are deposited in shallow pits
between stones, the female feeling
that she has done her part. deserts
them and the male at once assumes
charge and guards the eggs until they
hatch out and then the young until
they are able to take care Of them
selves. In moving round he is closely
followed by the numerous family
which has given rise to the term hen
and chickens" At times they attach
themselves to the sides Of their parent
by their sucking disks. thus presenting
a singular appearance.

Rowdyism at the chautauqua this
year is noticeably lacking. Contrary
to the expectations of the police at the
grounds, there has been little or no

o'clock in the evening.
Before the opening Of the chautau-
qua OF last year. Park Superintendent
Hollarn declared that If any one was
found drinking intoxicating liquors in
the grounds he would be arrested

made TO enforce this order. given the
chautauqua police, to the letter. and
there has been no instance which has
come TO the attention of the police oc

SHIELDED
BY j. s. DECREE
Federal Court Ruling Bars For
eign Competition With Alum
mum Co. of America.

PITTSBURG, June IA consent de-
cree, which guarantees to the Alumni
mum Company of America a substantial
monopoly Of the production and sale of
aluminium wares in the United States,
was entered in the United States dis
trict court for the western district of
Pennsylvania today in what is known
as the aluminium trust case, whereby
the government obtained a perpetual
injunction, curtailing the monopolistic
tendencies of the aluminium trust in
controlling the price of aluminium ware
and bauxite in the United States and
Europe.
The decree prohibits the sale on the
part of the Aluminium Company of
America of aluminium abroad and like
wise closes American markets to for
eign manufacturers.
Also Breaks a Combine.
Agreements formerly in effect with
foreign companies controlling the i'm
portation of and expectation of alum
mum or bauxite and illegally fixing
the prices at which the raw material
should be sold are expressly prohibited.
Contracts entered into between the
Pittsburg Reduction Company, the
Norton Company, Pennsylvania Salt
Manufacturing Company, Gustav A.
Kruttschmidt and James c. Coleman. of
Newark, N. j., whereby the sales of
aluminium and aluminium wares were
restricted, are made unlawful.
The combining of stock ownership
or controlling or restraining the output
Of any product manufactured from
aluminium, delaying shipments or exer-
cising any methods fatal to the indie
pendence of the concerns named as de-
PENDANTS, is construed as a violation
Of the decree.
