Rainbow Trout From Arctic Waters
Sport in Picturesque Mountain Ponds
Chain of Six Pools on the
PTette Sights the Southwest
By RUTH M. AUGUR.

- LOUDCROFT, n. NJ, Aug. s.-One
of the prettiest sights near Cloud
croft is the group of fish ponds
on the ranch of Capt Jesse H. Lucas,
about II miles down Cox canyon. and
the trip is worth making, for the
roads are good the entire way. The
fish ponds, six in number, lie on the
far side of the canyon, about a mile
above the road, terraced by a series
of dams. The ponds can be seen for
quite a distance down the canyon jut-
ting sprays which feed the lower
ponds shoot up into the air about IS
feet or more. and with the wild sweet
briar bushes in full bloom. and the
dark green background of the thick
growing pines, make the ponds look
ike fountains, in a beautiful garden
that has been forgotten by the tender
and allowed to run wild.
ARE Owners Pet Hobby.
The fish ponds are the pet hobby
OF Capt Jesse H. LueaS, who has
lived in the canyon for so years
Originally the ponds were laid out and
stocked with commercial Intention,
but the old war veteran has become
so attached to his finny pets that it
is doubtful If any price could buy
them. The upper ponds lie on the hill
side aboCt mile above the road, sur
rounded by tall pines. The water sup
ply comes from five springs which
bubble, ice cold, and clear as crystal,
from beneath banks of ferns out of the
mountain side. In the first pond are
the spawning fish, and the very young.
As these increase in size and become
more venturesOme, they swim through
the screens down the waterfall into
the next pond and so continue their
migration through the various ponds.
The water for the lower ponds is
piped down about a half a mile from
the springs, and by a series of foun-
In size the lower pond is about 900
yards long and over Is feet deep
Still another pond has been con-
structed below this one, about the

trout, beautifully marked, whose an
cestors sported wild in the rivers in
the Yukon district, quite civilized and
proper eastern Brook trout, Perch and
Parn, and big and small mouthed bass,
are the Inhabitants Of the ponds. Ow-
ing to the eanabaIstic instincts OF
the bass, they have to be kept in sep
aFate ponds. away from the young
trout.
Are From Missouri Hatcheries.
The ponds were stocked from the
fish hatcheries in Mecca
and st. Joseph, Missouri, with about
3, 600 young fish. The population OF
the ponds was considerably dimin-
ished last year, when one of the lower
ponds broke through the dam wall,
and as the waters poured out into the |

"Y E will call the man Milton
Wv Jones. You know him well by
far different name, which
has often appeared on the binboards.
College men have listened to his scien-
tific lectures. He has been the friend
Of noted psychologists and mind ex-

medical men in peculiar obstinate
cases. He has often gone after bad"
boys for church purposes. His big,
masterful eyes have stared out in black

did not appear.
I am telling you all this about him,

SWEDEN NAY Be

Government Plans to Pro-
hibit Drinking in Any
Portion of Country.

Stockholm, Sweden, Aug. 9.-There Is
a prospect that Sweden soon may be
placed under national prohibition Laws
making il an offence to drink spirit
Gus liquors anywhere in the country
are contemplated, and there is a rea-
sonable chance that they will be
adopted.
Prime minister Staff, in a recent ad-
dress before a congress of tetOtallers
in Stockholm, declared that prohibit
ton was the only effective means of
preventing drunkenness All other at
tempted methods of reform, he said,
had proved ineffective and insufficient
to stop the evil.
The prime minister's speech is con-
sidered an indication of the govern
ment's policy, and is believed to fore
shadow the introduction into parlia-
ment of a bill for the prohibition of all
spirituOus drinks in Sweden. Such a
law would command the support of the
royal family. The king is a strong
temperance advocate, and the crown
prince is a total abstainer.
a prOhibitory law would be likely to
meet with opposition from France.
Sweden has a big trade in wines and
spirits with France, and she depends
upon the French money market to
finance many Swedish enterprises
There are fears that the exclusion of
French wines would encounter retail
alton in the form of the exclusion of
Swedish securities from the Paris
bourse. A proposal to increase the duty
on wines in 1904 had to be dropped be-
cause the French government protest.

Turtle 500 Years Old.
The Oldest resident of New York, If
not of the whole country, has just
taken up his abode here. His age is
given as 500 years and his residence
will be in the Central park zoo. He is
known as the "Old Man of the Pa
eific." and is an enormous deep sea
turtle. His age was figured out from
the 16 squares marked on the top Of
his shell. Each square was said to rep
resent so years. The turtle weighs 464
pounds and is feet inches long from
tip of nose to tip of tail. He was
brought here from the California coast
on a tramp steamer and sold to a man
who thought it a prize for Central
park.
Two policemen and two menagerie
keepers got upon the turtles back when
it arrived at the menagerie and it car
ried them several yards. A policeman
pOked him with his club. and the turtle
bit the club in two. His mouth is six
inches across.
