WORLDS RECORD STURGEON.
One Fish Provides Meal for Ono
Thousand People.

From London Tt-Bits.
Very seldom indeed IL the sturgeon. the
f1nny monster which Edward II made q
royal fish. and which. when caught in the
Thames. becomes the property Of the
crown. captured in English waters now
adays.
For this reason not little interest was
aroused q few days ago when II was an
nounced that q sturgeon nine feet nine
had been caught in the River DELPHI at
Welney Washes. near Lttleport. Nor
folk.
This fish. which according to the esti-
ultimately sold it for SO. would provide q
meal for nearly 1000 people, had been no.
decd in the river and attempts had been
made to shoot II. But the cartridges used
were loaded with shot too small to have
any effect on the surgeons hard skin.
A large metz therefore. was drawn across
the water to prevent the fish from es-
Gaping down the river. after which boat
was rowed alongside the. dsh. when one
of the men succeeded in forcing large
and powerful hook attached to a strong
pole into his throat. This enabled him
to keep its head out Of the water just
long enough for the fish to be killed with
q gun. ~s
Some idea OF its size and weight may be
gathered from the fact that five men
were required to land 1t. This. however,
Is by no means the largest sturgeon which
has been caught in English waters The
record was fish weighing AGO pounds.
while in the North sea fish weighing as
much as 562 pounds and 735 pounds have
been captured by trawlers.
1t Is pointed out that one of the most
remarkable facts about the fish netted
In the North. sea Is that they are similar
to the American species. whence 1t would
seem that the specimens caught from
time to time in our waters must have
made the voyage across the Atlantic,
since the fish appears to have died out as
q regular inhabitant Of British waters.
Surgeons pass the greater part OF the
year in the sea, but periodically as
cend large rivers, and it was due to
this characteristic that the specimen
was caught recently In the River DELPHI.
Not only do they attain great size
and weight, but, according to the esti-
mates Of some experts. they sometimes
live as long as 200 years. Apropos OF
the fact that Edward II made the stur-
geon a royal fish, it is interesting to
note that its flesh, quite apart from the
fact that caviare is made from the roe.
is always held in great estimation. and
In olden days was always reserved for
the table of the king.

The ranks OF opponents Of slang have
hitherto been filled with mere philologists
and lovers of good English. with the
unsatisfactory results that must be ex-
pected from so anemfc an array. Now,
however, a recruit has appeared who has
changed tho situation at a stroke. In q
quarrel between two women in St Louis,
neighbers. over a dog, one OF the COM
batants repeated II should worry 20
many times that her antagonist became
irritated and struck her with q milk bot
tie. Tho affair was then taken to court.
where the Judge sought expert evidence
REGARDING the connotation Of the express
zion. The defendant held that It was -
deliberate siur. 1t means. i don't care
what you say or think No respectable
person would use It." The other woman
disagreed with this opinion, declaring:
:.It Is a playful remark. and IL q mean
ingless popular saying OF the day." Other
experts were similarly divided. But It
took the jury only ten minutes to return
4 verdict for the defendant. Thus this
bit Of slang il labeled unpariiamentary.

Scallops.
From the Springfield Republican.

From the Springfield Republican.
Scallops and bacon are mighty good
eating. and the enjoyment of them il
likely to be widened If there be full
truth in the statement that the United
States bureau Of fisheries has discov-
cred an inexhaustible giant bed Of
scallops extending all the way from
Block Island to the Virginia capes.
Beginning about August 20 thorough
Investigation will be undertaken to dis
cover what the exact facts may be.
IAN Investigation Of these beds OF seal
lops." says DR.. H F. Moore of the bu-
reau of fisheries. has been made at
only half dozen points, not enough to
Justify any conclusion as to their ex-
tent or whether they will be CONNER
cially valuable. My opinion is that
they will be of commercial value" Elk
perts tell US that scallops are the rich
est of all sea food, but at present they
are so expensive as to be beyond the
purse of the average family. If the
claim that these beds are thirty miles
in width and of anything like the ex-
tent asserted be justified. we may be
sure that the fishermen will get them
to market.

testified that the priest had made fun
of the womans verses. She leaped to
her feet and said to the jury: 1T is a
lie. He loved my verses" One witness
went on the stand and with utter
solemnity said: Il affirm that the un-
happy man was assassinated." Another
witness said: "She is incapable Of MUIR
der" Witnesses freely expressed their
opinion in this way to the jury without
any attempt to give evidence.
Rules of evidence are founded on COM
mon sense. and, while 1t may seem
harsh to the individual when he IL not
allowed to confide in the jury his own
hopes and fears and prejudices con-
corning the case, 1t makes for approx
mate justice that nothing may be ten
dered that is not evidence In the truest
sense.
