cessor of Alexander. Established friendly relations with Russia, Dfrni- trieff was permitted to return to his native land. and he soon became prominent in the army. It was largely due to his military genius that Bul- garia was able to fight with such suc- cess against Turkey in the first Ball. kan war. Under the leadership of Dinaitrieff the Bulgars carried every thing before them and advanced al4 most to the gates of Constantinople. It was Dimitrieff who received the
 surrender of the fortress of Ac-ian- ople. He became the popular hero of his countrymen, and so great was the enthusiasm of the 1seople that there was much talk of deposing Ferdinand and making the general his successor
 Alarmed at these threats, the Bulgar Car dispatched Dirnitrien to Russia as Bulgarian minister to the court of the Czar. Deprived of Dirnitriefrs leadership, the Bulgars were defeated in the second Ma1kan war, and Ferdi- hand lost much of the territory Di111i- tf1en had gained.

] OLE BULL.

The first American appearance of Ole Bull, the celebrated Norwegian yiolinist and composer, was on Nov. 25, 1843, just. 72 years ago today. Bulls life was replete with tragedy and adventure As a student in Prtls- sia he wounded man in a duel and
 had to flee the country. Upon reach ing Paris he was robbed of his violin and money In despair he threw himself into the Seine, but a woman witnessed his attempt at suicide, an her screams attracted the rivermen who reached the violinist just as he was going down for the last time, and dragged him out of the river The woman who was responsible for sav- ing his life was struck by the Nor wegian's resemblance to her dead son, and, being a woman of wealth, she took Ole under her protection and en- abled him to complete his studies Bull was 43 when he first visited America, and he was given such a hearty reception that he remained two years, giving concerts in many cities. Returning to Norway, he lost his fortune, and returned to America in 1852. An attempt to found a col ony of his countrymen in Pennsylya- mia reduced him to poverty, but he returned to the concert stage and again became prosperous.

JAPAN IS LEADING FISHING NATION
 OF THE W0RL D
Estimated That One Person in Every Twenty Lives by
 This Industry.

Tolkfo. Nov. 24-Reports just conn piled show that Japan is the leading fishing nation. in the relative impor- tance of fisheries in domestic econ omy. in the ingenuity and skill of the people in devisfng fishing apparatus. in the Preparation of fish and in the interest shown by the government in promoting fisheries.
 It is estimated that one person in twenty in the entire empire is more or less of a fisherman. Fish appears in some form on the table of every if not at every meal The annual value of water products is over $30, COG, 0,000. Half a million boats are en- gagged in fishing of which 1s,00O are more than 30 feet long. Almost a million men are professional fisher men and 100000 more give part of their time to fishing and the rest to farming or other pursuits.
 A thousand species of fish have been identified in Japanese waters and almost every one of them are ed- ib1e- One of the most commonest, most sought after is the shark, which the western people have never learn ed to eat Dogfish, a member of the shark family found along the north Atlantic coast would never be permit ted to go uncaught in Japan and even the Octopus is table delicacy Much fish is eaten raw.
 The prominence of fisheries is at tr1buted to the encoura cement Of of ffefaIs who have studied the fishing industries in the United States The Imperial Fisheries Institute at Tokio ts one of the finest in che world.
