VANISHING DeIjcacy.

The United States government will
have the aid of the fishery experts
of practically all the countries OF
northern Europe in tracking down the
mackerel schools which used to fre-
quent American waters. In 1886, after
several years of unusual friendliness,
the mackerel seemed to take an aver.
sion to their ancient habitat off the
New England coast, and the catch
has been dwindling ever since. In
1885 100000 barrels were sailed for
consumption in this country, leaving
out Of account the supply eaten fresh
In 1910 the entire catch was only
2,710 barrels.
The mackerel is one of the best
food fishes. The Spanish mackere
In particular is delectable morsel
and it's progressive disappearance
from the market has been a calamity
AS the cost of meat and game has
risen the range of table delicacies
has been sadly circumscribed, anc
the mackerers perversity in taking Il
new cruising grounds has been all the
more heartless and inopportune. 1
Is to be hoped that the Permanent In
ternatioRal Council for the Explora
ton of the Sea will hunt him dow
and instil into him q new sense o
duty to suffering humanity.

quickly toward the house and disap.
peared.
DR.. Emery frowned, partly because
the garden seemed less beautiful and
partly because he had been inter-
rupted in his attempt to diagnose this
peculiar form of brain malady. The
puzzled frown remained as the doctor
returned to the house.
At an early hour Of the morning
there came to the doctors ears that
same tinkling laugh. He jumped hur-
riedly from his bed and looked out Of
the window.
The sun was a great ball in the
eastern sky, and it cast it's dawning
color over the girl in the next garden.
"This is assuredly peculiar case"
muttered the doctor, while he kept
fascinated eyes upon the girl She
was in the front garden now and a
blue kimono enveloped her; her head
was bound closely in a turban effect
of the same shade, and she was trip
ping quickly about among the great
hydrangea bushes. From time to
time she would select a blossom and
hold it in two caressing hands, then
suddenly bury her face in it's soft
depths. 1t was at such moments that
the little laugh rang out. The doctor
watched her fuss over the tiny white
petals that chung to her eyes and lips
and nose.
"She is just plum dippy!" calculated
DR.. Emery, with tinge of irritation
that she should be getting SO much
JOY out of living. IT suppose If dis
covered a cure for her she would be
ms grumpy then as she is happy now
The girl then went down into thu
back garden and selected an ear o.
corn from the stocks, which she ate
nibbling 1t with apparent relish.
Then she sampled peas, carrots ant
beets.
Mud and all! Most extraordinary!
For the first time in his career DR.
Emery regretted that he was not al
insanity expert. "She seems to thriv,
on it-never saw such a beauty in al
my life," was the doctors thought n
he crept back into bed after the CIR
had returned to the house. He lay ,
long time wondering how he could n
range to talk to the gifl without aroua
ing her suspicion. .f~.4.. i

MAKING RAIN WITH ROCKETS
Experiments Tried With Considerable
Success on a Coffee Plantation in
Southern India. -,

v l. e
Experiments made to ascertain
whether the discharge of explosives
during cloudy weather produces rain
fall are described in a letter from
James Stanes.
Some years ago." he says, IAN ex-
pertinent was tried in the Cuddapah
district of southern India with ICON
siderable success. | am part owner
of An estate in the Seramully hills,
dry zone For several seasons poor
coffee crops withered away from lack
Of rain during July and August.
when I was visiting the estate in
July, 1905, noticed that heavy clouds
gathered every afternoon and l
thought that If we had been In a
position to fire explosive rockets from
$500 feet, shower of rain might
have been produced.
II therefore arranged to have a
supply Of rockets kept on the estate
and fired off every afternoon at the
rate Of one rocket every five minutes,
but only when the condition of the
atmosphere was such that heavy rain
| threatened on all sides.
Whether rain has fallen in re-
| Spouse to these explosives or not the
| fact remains that ever since we first
tried the experiment we have been
fortunate enough to catch sufficient
moisture to enable the crops to sur
vive the drought"
Firing into the clouds with the OBJ
! ject of causing rain was practiced fol
| several years in southern Germany
Switzerland and France, but seems tc
have been abandoned some time ago
| The idea was to protect the vineyards
and other civilizations from damage
by hailstones, it being thought thai
by the discharge of large guns rail-
would fall and that the danger from
hailstorms would be averted.-Londor

Beauty and -. -, -.
the Doctor
BY Catherine Coope

Copyright, 1911, by Associated Literary
The young doctor drew In great
breath of country air. The garden at
the rear of the old home in which he
was to spend his vacation was a mass
OF scented flowers. Roses, zenias
dahlias all clustered about like little
joyous souls rowing in the moonlight.
A refreshing rain had cooled the
air, and because the night was beau
tiful, and the doctor young, his
thoughts turned toward the girl to
whom his heart had lately responded.
Because his mind was in a chaotic
condition regarding the depth of his
feeling toward Rose Langdon, DR..
Emery had come to the solitude Of the
old manor house on Long Island.
His thoughts, for the moment bent
chiefly on the beauty Of the night,
were easily interrupted. He paused
and listened.
In the walled garden next door a
soft swishing sound made regular har.
mony to his ear. He drew nearer the
wall and looked over through clump
of bushes. His eyes opened wide and
he leaned cautiously away from the
moon rays.
Was she wrath or a blood and
bone girl who trailed back and forth
over the rain-soaked grass? DR..
Emery, so completely startled out OF
his everyday, humdrum city life, could
not definitely answer the question.
He watched with fascinated attention.
The girls attire was white and
clingy and traily, and as she moved
across the long grass her bare feet
peeped forth. Those little feet found
pool Of water left by the recent
rain, and a gleeful chuckle fell from
the girls lips.
"Insane!" muttered the young doc
tor. "By Jove! What pity-she is
as beautiful as the lilies.
"They toll not, neither do they
spin," thought the doctor, and the
pity dropped out of his thoughts, tht
girl seemed so absolutely happy, 81
evidently joyous in this condition O
the mind. After humming few note
of lifting melody the girl trippe,

Ikey was quite near by this time to
command the attention of the four
children.
Lets mesmerize Goose-Grease,"
yelled Jimmy, as he turned the stream
of water full upon him.
Frances, Lima and Billy clapped
their hands and laughed for Joy.
With a terrified and angry shrek
their victim, dripping water at every
step, ran bowling by his tormentors.
When he reached a safe distance he
turned around, shook a fist at them
and screamed back:
my papa is going to have you all
arrested and locked up In the GALA
boose."
"Calaboose, nothing!" jeered Jimmy.
You all the time wanting to put some
body in the calaboose cause they mes
merize you. You got to be mesmer-
lied cause It's in the Bible"
A short, stout man, dressed In neat
black clothes, was coming toward
them.
"Oh, that's the major!". screamed
Billy delightedly, taking the hose and
squaring himself to greet his friend
of the train, but Jimmy jerked 1t out
of his hand. before either Of them no

something forgotten.

"I have a present for you," said his
aunt, handing Billy a long, rec.angu'
lar package.
Thank you, ma'am," said her beam
ing nephew as he sat down on the
floor, all eager anticipation, and be-
gan to unite the string. His charm
ing, changeful face was bright n

came one Of indignant amaze as he
saw the contents Of the box.

asked angrily, 81 amt no girl"

Miss Minerva put a hand on either
