Mexicans' Iaziness.

HOUSTON, Texas, Feb. THE sec

to accept as joke published reports
that hundreds were Killed in Mexican
battles, for the number invariably
dwindled down to score or SO. But
there is 8 reason.
The exaggeration OF killed and
wounded in battle is directly due to
the Mexicans' laziness. The Mexican,

Government Expert Says Floating leo
and SEEMING Operations May
Cause Wholesale Mortality
Of shad.
IDEAS ARE DISPUTED
Local Rlvermen Think There Has
Not Been Sufficient Ice
to Have Caused
This.

Thaddeus Sur.ber, scientific assist
ant in biology in the bureau OF fish
cries at Freeport, Iowa, believes that
floating Ice or ssining operations may
be the causes for the wholesale
deaths among the fish discovered hare
by Deputy Fish Warden Henry F..
Refchman. Mr. Surber received the
fish from Deputy Reichman last week
and yesterday Mr.. Reichman received
a letter from Mr.. Surber regarding
the shipment.
The fish did not arrive In very
good shape, according to Mr.. Surber,
consequently he cannot tell from
their condition what is the real cause
for death. His letter in part follows.
These fish have no commercial i'm
portance except as food for other
fish. Resident in the Mississippi it
! is said to hibernate during thu win
! ter in deeper water and is then in a
benumbed condition. River condi.
tions have been unusual this winter
and the loss of these fish may be due
/ to couple OF reasons.
The immense quantity Of floating
ice moving almost constantly for the
past two months coming in contaca
with the dormant school of fish woulc

may be due to SEEMING operations as

Years ago while residing in Oklahoma

L~eonardy, q German-American resident
of this city has just returned home
from Germany, where he lac been IN
a visit since last May. Mr.. Leonardy
visited several of the battlefields and
states that a very small per cent Of
the wounded soldiers die, due to the
fact that the steel bullets used in the
big rifles do not lodge In the flesh. as a
rLie, as they are shot with such ter
rifle force that they pass clear through
the body and unless the bullet pene-
trates a vital spot, the wound is not
considered dangerous. However, the
soldier is often disabled for further SER
vice.
Mr.. Leonardy explains the way in
which the German army modified. He
says that each year the government re-
quires that every horse that is suitable
for military use shall be examined.
registered and numbered. In case it is
sold the government has to be notified
of the transfer and it's records are
corrected accordingly. When the war
broke out these horses We're simply
drafted by number and the owners re-
ceived good prices for them. Every
thing else, in regard to mobilization in
the present conflict, was so systematic
that in about AZ hours it was COM
plete.
Mr.. Leonardy states that he has seen
enough of war to satisfy his desire for
adventure n hopes never to see any
thing like it again.
