Mournful Industry.

One French industry that has grown

is the making of those funeral wreaths
with which the cemeteries In France
are always so primly decorated. Many

BY a cross and a cheap little trieolor
waving gloriously in the transient sun
shine, but there is big demand
among those who may bring their lost
ones nearer home to rest for the con
yentional mourning "wreaths. Inc
shop windows are filled with these
things and with promises that orders
will be instantly fulfilled at the work

SOUP KITCHENS IN BELGIUM
How the Gigantic Work Of Relieving .
Starving Nation Is Being
4 Conducted.

The soup kitchen organized In Brus
sells BY the American commission FOL
relief is now undoubtedly the largest
In the world. Nearly fifty thousand
people entirely destitute wait in the
bread lines" every day. and over SIN
thousand gallons of soup and four
thousand Kilograms of bread are daily
distributed to them.
=; unlike the bread lines have seen
in America" says report from one OF
the representatives In Brussels, these
are all people Of one nationality ana
all with a common and undeserveo
misfortune. They are Of all classes
but we know none Of them save BY
number, because no matter what their
station or the extent Of their misfor
tune they still have lamour propra
and many Of them. If they were COM
PEELED to write their names on coupons
when they get the soup, would rather
starve than take It, None of them
think that they will always have to he
in the bread lines, and every one OF
them feels that when it is all over
they will want to forget that they
have been destitute.
"The soup for these pitiful f1otsam
and jetsam OF war Is all prepared In
the large storehouses Of the lnterna'
tional Express Company Van Gand
More than one hundred people are en-
gagged In this work. Among them are
former chefs of some Of the leading
hotels Of Brussels, who give direction
as to the kind and quality Of the soup

Under them are those who clean the
neutrality-suspicious., carrots, BEANS
etc.-and prepare the meat. This en-
tire staff Is composed OF volunteers
except the chefs. who receive at the
most half a dollar day. ~. g.
From three O'Clock in the morning,
when the cooking of the first 5000 gar
Ions of soup is started, the scene IN
the circuslike storehouse Of the ex-
press company is one Of tremendous
activity with the moving figures OF

Bears that fish In shallow water and

of Alaskan salmon. according to +.
Lester Jones. deputy commissioner of

The commissioner in his report tells
how at Black Bear creek in the Cleve-
land peninsula he found the shores for
$50 feet on both sides Uttered with
hundreds upon hundreds OF humpback,
silver and chum salmon that had been
tossed out OF the water by bears.
Hardly any of the fish had been mu.
tilated except by the marks of the
bears claws on their backs. All that
was eaten was the cheek" Of the sal
mon, the bear, according to Commits
sioner Jones. being very fastidious and
preferring that part to any other, {,
AS the bears in Alaska are the larg-
est in the world and are noted for
their ravenous appetites. it Is easy to
realize how much damage they can do.
On Kodiak island, where the full
grown bear weighs three-quarters Of
q ton, the deputy commissioner
learned from a native that one OF
these giants could eat a third Of his
own weight in salmon in single day.
T. "As In other parts Of the territory
Mr.. Jones remarks. this bear also
throws considerable numbers OF fish
out OF the water. many OF which it
may never care to touch for food"
While wolves and even eagles are
also doing much harm. Mr.. Jones
found that, still greater destruction
was caused by. gulls and terms. De-
scribing his visit to, Sierra creek on a
rainy day at low tide, he says:

saw thousands Of salmon fighting their
way up the shallow stream. and
among these fish were the gulls. pick.

Of gulls, which believe numbered at

To remedy this condition Mr.. Jones
makes several novel suggestions. The
ease with which the bears and galls
prey upon salmon, he says, 10 due In
large measure TO the number Of OBJ
structions in streams which they fire.
quent in the spawning season. Be-
sides the falls and other natural bar
riers. some of the rivers have not
been kept clear Of timber and other
distractions, and are consequently
providing ideal fishing grounds for the
natural enemies Of the salmon. Whole
schools are halted on their way up
stream by these obstructions, with the
result that the fish fall back exhaust
ed into shallow water, only to be
preyed upon by bears and gulls. q.
The commissioner mentions a mum.
Der of streams where this Is especially
true, and urges that, the government
appropriate sufficient money to have
the worst distractions removed. The
falls in many places, he says, could cas-
lily be blasted to give the salmon free
passage. In other places, where dyna.
mite Is impracticable, the construction
of fish ladders Is recommended Z
2"The Investment OF few thousand
dollars on all of these streams" says
the commissioner, would mean; q

of opening up additional natural
spawning grounds as yet almost wtal,
