While many fishermen know a small
mouth bass from a large-mouth speci-
men, few of them can tell in words the
difference which marks them. The d.
viding line is sometimes very narrow
Tor the mouth of either, when pried
open. leaves an enormous. gap.
The difference is properly told when
the fish's mouth is closed. There Is
rim of cartilage surrounding the
mouth. terminating at the rear end
in a square cornered fiange. In the
small-mouth variety, the corner of the
mouth Is directly below the front of
the eye. vertically. In the larse-mouth
variety this fiange extends further to
the rear, about on line with the pos
terror end OF the eye socket. This Is
infallible.
There is a well-defned belief among
fishermen that the small-mouth variety
Is much gamer on all occasions, than
the large-mouth brothers and sisters.
This may be true In some localities,
on account of the habitat. but frequent

Without a doubt, a healthy bass.

battling to the end-the tarpon. for in
stance. The tarpon Is nothing on earth
but a glorified herring. Look at him
and to even the novice the similarity
Is apparent.
There Is another sea fish. useless as
an edible. which puts up the most mag

the horse-mackerel, q long, sinuous
denizen Of the deep. He strikes like

is felt he leaves the water in a DASH

on the most pressing business. AS they
seldom are caught Weighing over ten
pounds. It is possible to check and

landed. there Is no assurance that he

n TANY will no doubt smile indul-
lM gently over Con gr e m Il
AVA Moore's expressed belief that
the Susquehanna will be one
day navigable stream. Congressman
Moore is so much impressed with the
| idea that he has asked Congress to
revoke the War Department ruling
recognizing the stream as open to COM
merce only as far north as the Mary
land line.
So many attempts have been made
| to devise a way of making the Sus-
quehanna river q navigable stream and
, so many difficulties stand in the way
that it is little wonder that those who
know most about the subject are in
clined to be doubtful. 1t must not be
forgotten, however, that Mr.. Moore
has made a deeper study of inland
waterways than almost any other man
who has ever sat in Congress. He is
acquainted with all the conditions of
which he speaks. He has personally
gone from one end of the Susquehanna
Va
waterway experts who have acted as
his advisers. He knows the obstacles
that stand in the way and he is never
theless of the opinion that some day
the river will be open to the commerce
Of the world.
With the opening OF the Panama
canal we are ready. tosbelieve almost
anything in the way of proposed en-
gineering undertakings upon which
men who should know set the stamp
of their approval 1t is entirely pos
sible that series of dams and locks
could be devised that would permit
the bringing of the ocean liners, or at
least large coasting vessels, UP the
Susquehanna as far as Harrisburg. 1t
is reasonable to suppose that, the feat
being possible, it will be accomplish
ed whenever the need shall be deemed
sufficient to warrant the tremendously
heavy expenditure that would be en-
tailed.

TELEGRAPH TRAvELoGUEs

~ HERE can be no question as to
the educational value Of the
i moving picture. They bring to
the largo majority of us whose
scope of travel must be necessarily
small glimpses of scenes, life and
events in far-away climes that other
wise would have to remain as closed
books TO us. To be sure, the inven-
tion has been misused. But it is not
the fault of the moving picture itself
that IL has been made to serve evil
purposes.
Greedy film producers have held
that they must produce "thrillers' in
order to attract the crowds-just as
years agone the theatrical managers
was necessary to get people into their
playhouses. Yet the day of the melo-
drama has passed and the theaters are
still operating on a profit-making
basis. So it will be with the Wild West
and Nick Carter forms of moving pic
ture entertainments.
Tho Telegraph believes that the
public is ready for O change. 1t be-
lieves that Harrisburgers will attend
moving picture shows that have edu-
cational as well as entertaining quail
ties. To that end it is ready to pay
the expenses of making test. Next
week it will bring to Harrisburg the
noted Niblo talks and moving pictures
of distant lands. Without question
this is the most extensive, expensive,
rare and remarkable collection of
strictly up-to-date travelogues and
moving pictures ever presented.
Chestnut Street Hall has been en-
gagged for the week. Every afternoon
and evening performances will be
given. The regular admission fee is
25 cents and the entertainment is
sufficient to occupy a full evening. To
bring the price down to something like
the sum usually charged for admis-
sion to moving picture theaters the
Telegraph has arranged that by pre-
senting a coupon clipped from this
newspaper and 10 cents additional the
price Of a ticket will be reduced
1S cents. In other words, the coupon
and dime will be received as full
admission fee.
The Telegraph is not attempting to
compete with the moving picture the
aters. It is simply trying to Demon
strate what it has long contended-
that the public is not clamoring for
blood and thunder in its movies" +"
that 1t is ready and anxious to patron

"HE Telegraph has received an
unsigned communication - evil
l. IDENTIFY from the pen of farmer
-upholding the literacy test for
immigrants, against the adoption of
which by Congress this and many other
right thinking newspapers have pro-
tested. In part it is as follows:
There can be no excuse for over
loading our country with ignorant
foreigners. You do wrong to try
What good are they to the farmer,
for instance? Do we get any bene-
fit from them? Do they go to the
farm to work, where men are
needed? Tell me that.
Our correspondent is mistaken in
believing that no immigrants go to
the farms. Government statistics
show that thousands of them do, and
that many such are now operating in
dependently and accommodating wealth.
And isn't it very much the farmers
own fault that more of the newcom-
ers do not go to the soil? What sort
of organized effort does the Pennsyl-
vania farmer, for instance, make to
obtain immigrant labor to take up the
work that he cannot find native-born
men to perform?
But there is another side to the
matter, and very practical one, too.
Discussing it the New York American,

about all that 1t could to injure

farms competing with our own, and
with no tariff to protect our farm
ers---the men who pay high duties
on what they want-what is to be-

Would 1t not be a good idea, at
least, to permit the immigrants to
come in to eat, the things that the
farms produce?
a hundred thousand immigrants

toes. good many pounds of pork
and beef.
If the farms of this country have
been growing, If the wealth pro-

ceeded all other wealth-it is be-
cause we have had here people able
and willing to buy that farm pro-
