KING OF ALL SMELLS.

What is perhaps the largest smelt
ever landed in Massachusetts wa
tiers, in recent years at least, was
caught at East Orleans recently and
taken to Boston. This king of smelts
was a perfect specimen, with an
overall measurement of exactly Is
inches and a displacement of eight
ounces net. 1t was a full inch and a
quarter longer than a smelt caught
in Boston harbor more than a dozen
years ago, that had held the record
up to this time. This giant smelt
was caught on a pole line by Harold
Eldridge, an East Orleans fisher
man.

PROBING SECRETS OF HAIL
Scientist Has ingenious Idea, Which
He Is Confident win Produce
Desired Results.

The peculiar formation of hail
stones and the probable conditions
of their production have long beer
matters of much interest to scien-
fists. A thorough study Of them, it
is believed, might throw much
light on various meteorological phe-
nomena, especially in regard to air
currents, changes of temperature
and of pressure, ETC., in the upper
strata Of the atmosphere. A COM
parison of them with the "ice flow
ers" and snow crystals or stars
which Tyndall and other prominent
scientists have found so fruitful a
field Of Investigation might yield
important results. Heretofore, how
ever, the comparative rarity of their
occurrence and the great rapidity
with which they melt has offered
obstacles to this. But Prof. Boris
Weinberg of Tomsk, Siberia, has
just perfected an apparatus which
is expected to obviate these Difficult
ties. He will gather the hailstones
as opportunity offers and preserve
them by plunging them in a liquid
of about the same density contained
in a double-walled receptacle like a
superior ice-cream freezer, but
packed" with a mixture of ice and
sulphate of copper. As needed for
study the stones can be removed,
sliced in extremely thin sections
and photographed by a polarizing
microscope or autochromatic plates.

Josephine s Record Beaten.

Carlotta Pontiac, a seven
year old Holstein cow owned by
the Missouri College Of Agricul-
tme has beaten the record Of
Missouri Chief Josephine in
butter production, She produc-
ed during the month of Jan
uary 2l46 pounds of milk which
tested 1857 per cent. This makes
the butter fat yield for the
month 1856 pounds or about
one-tenth Of a pound more than
was produced by Josephine Cor
her best months fat production.
Carlotta Pontiac does not
give the quantity of milk pro-
duced by Josephine but her
fat record is very much higher.
She has been milking for l4O
days and in this period of time
has produced 9268.6 pounds Of
milk containing 3O5.1 pounds o.
butter fat. This is equivalent
to 381 pounds of butter. Her
average daily milk yield is &c Ii
pounds. Her daily yield of but
ter fat is 2 Is pounds.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DIspATCHI

NEW YORK, June 15.-Except fur ther weakness in Reading, today's stock market was dull to the point of stagnatiOn. The decline in Reading was accelerated by bear pressure and there is also a general idea that noth- ing of especial benefit to the roads shareholders is expected for some months. The board room manifested interest in the political developments at Chicago but that had little bearing on securities values.
 Of the better known issues Y. s. Steel held firm and estimates of the corporations earnings for the quar- ter, soon to end, were issued from unofficial quarters. Some forecasts were high as $26,OO0,OOO or something like $S,000,000 in excess of the returns for the first quarter of this year
 In any event it is expected that result will fully cover the dividend requirements for common stock. To- days bond market was steady. mod crate sales, value $476, T.. S. twos coupon and threes and fours coupon registered, declined a quarter per cent on call during the week

"An Extraordinary Occurrence"

The observations of Sir Alfred Chambers of the British Admiralty, in the course of the Titanic inquiry last Thursday. cannot fail to enlist attention though there will hardly be a general agreement as to their sOundness-
 One of the earliest and most start ling discoveries after the Titanic hOr- TOT was that the liner carried life boats and rafts sufficient to pro vide for the safety of less than half crew There are British regulations eighteen years old, fixing the number of lifeboats that shall be carried The number was sufficient for the liners of that time but since then the ca pacity of steamships has more than doubled.
 Sir Alfred says that no change was made in the regulations on that ac- count since it was recognized that
  est mode of travel in the world Following this theory up we reach the conclusion that there is no need of lifebOats at all or any other pre- caution against the unexpected un- safety of Atlantic travel. In such event, if half the passengers and crew are to be lost, there is no logical reason why the other half should be saved.
 Furthermore, Sir Alfred does not see the necessity of changing the regulations now. The sinking of the Titanic, he says, was an "extraordin ary occurrence and presumably, ir his opinion not likely to happen soon again.
 It is quite generally conceded that it was an extraordinary occurrence.'

The Brown Amendment

We would not say that President Cunniff of the senate is devoid of a sense of humor. But he has a per- Verted sense. Otherwise. he would not have dismissed as frivolous. the amendment of Senator Brown of Pinal to the senate suicide" bill.
 MT. Browns amendment, as we have learned, was in accord with the main purpose of the bill; that is, that the legislature should consist of a single house. That has seemed to us to be the only essential All else are merely matters of detail con- corning which honest men may diff fer.
 According to the Brown amend ment the members of the legislature were to be selected from the mem bership of the penitentiary, presum- ably from the "honor' list which is composed of the most hardened and seasoned cOnvicts Further, accord ing to this amendment, only life termers were to be eligible to the position of presiding officer and to the chairmanships of the more inn portant committees
 This, we think, was a wise pro- vision. One of the handicaps of leg islation is the unfamiliarity of those who direct it, with the work of doing so. Officers and chairmen are usually changed from one session to another. In the long list of territorial legis- latures We can not recall that any presiding officer served twice and probably no man was ever twice chairman of the ways and means committee or the committee on ap- propriations. A life termer. unless he should escape, or be busted from his permanent residence by the Oper- ation of our prison reform system, would have plenty of time to familiar ize himself with the machinery of IeBlSIdJlOn-
 The general feature of the Brown amendment is a good one Any con vict has had more practical eXperi- ence with the operation of the laws than the average outside citizen who has been bereft of opportunity. What we need is practical experience. We clamor for the adoption of the Brown amendment.
 And, this is the amendment which President Cunniff rejected as frivo- lous. We'll leave it to any conven- tiOn of jokesmiths to say whether it is half as grotesque as the original bill

SUMMER HEAT AND SICKNESS.

In Europe during the summer of 1911 the excessive heat was observed by De Fleury to have had a pro-
 nounced effect Not only was there an increase in sickness during the hot period, but after it's subsistence
 many persons developed gastro-intes- tlnal disturbances, congestion of the liver or some skin affection of di- geStlVe origin. In attempting to ac- count for the effects of the hot weather, De Fleury says that the
 abuse of cooling drinks with food, the tendency of foods to spoil and the increasing virulence of disease germs were important factors; but he believes that the most important factor was the diversion of the water in the body from the kidneys to the skin, with increased excretion of water, with lowering of blood pres
 sure, but with decreased elimination of pOisOns. The sweat t-eXcreting ap-
 paratuS of the skin is equal to only
 about fourth of the Altering ap-
 paratus of the kidneys, and during
 the hot weather fluids are excreted
 by the skin almost entirely. It was
 De Fleury's observation that persons
 who lived on a fruit and vegetable
 diet, to the exclusion of meat and eggs, escaped tro-intestinal dis
 turbances. Hot drinks also acted in
 a prophylactic way, as did the em-
 ployment of the tactic ferments.
 Drugs which increase the blood pres
 sure and stimulate the kidney func-
 tion also had beneficial effects. The observations of De Fleury would seem to confirm the dictum that in hot weather it is desirable to decrease the amount of protein food intake, to limit the diet more closely to fruits and vegetables and to drink plenty of plain water or other bland drinks while the stomach is empty in order. if possible, to increase elim- ination by the kidneys. The ire quency of congestion of the liver would seem also to support the the ory of d deficient elimination of poisOns as an important cause of the mOrbidity due to the heat i Journal of American Medical Asso- citation.
