These Fish Need Ladders.

Salmon seeking to scale the i'm
pounding wall at Gibraltar dam, on
the Santa Ynez river, to reach the up
per canyons and spawn, are reported
to be exhausting their strength and
will die.
The city has reared wall over ten
feet above the bed of the stream, over
which the water is flowing On the top
of the wall Is a slight shelving where
the fish, seeking to make the long leap,
land, and they are carried by the flow
back down the stream again.
Engineer Pyzel, who is in charge
of the city's reservoir works, reports
he has watched dozens of big salmon
or salmon trout try to make the
leap and fail, and he is of the opinion
that all will eventually die. When
the impounding wall was built the
city did not provide for a fish ladder.

REFUSED TO EAT MATCHES
Experiment Proved That Rats and
Mice Have Been Unjustly Accused
of Causing Fires.

Rats, mice and matches have long
been considered a source of fires. An
investigator, however after extensive
experiment, reports, in Safety En-
cheering, that there is no real founda-
ton for the popular idea. A large num-
Der of rats were caught at different
times and confined in cages with the
ends open for observation. Matches
were then placed in the cases, but no
food, and the rats were left in a quiet
spot in a cellar. In every case the ami
mails starved to death or ate their CON-
panions. Not match head or splint
was gnawed. The matches were well
seasoned and of different varieties
from the strike-on-the-boX to the
double-tip and the common. parlor
match. A second series of tests was
conducted in cage measuring more
than six feet square. The results
were the same.
In all cases the rats were without
food from two to three days, then the
matches were introduced and the rats
died from starvation within one to five
days after. Like experiments were
conducted with mice and the same re-
suits obtained. the mice being hungry
from two to three days, then the
matches were introduced and death
followed in one to five days. In the
larger cages the rats were fed for
periods varying from twenty to forty
four days in order to permit the ami
mails to become accustomed to their
surroundings and act normally. A
greater variety of matches was used
in this test. The rats were imprisoned
together in this case and many were
gnawed and eaten by their compaD.

AMERICAN AMALGAMATION

a Cornell professor, on request OF
Herman Ridder, made a painstaking
analysis of the foreign born popula-
tion, or born of foreign-born parents
He finds that the United States con
tains 30 ,243,3S2 such people. His fig
ures are indisputable, but they are as
far as he or any one else can go with
safety toward lining up the people of
this country with respect to sympath-
les in the present world struggle.
The moment he begins to list those
of foreign-bon parents he encounters
a hopeless tangle. For example, how
would a man be classified who has a
German father and Belgian mother,
or whose mother was born in Ger
many and whose father came from
England3 1t is obvious that compli-
cations are encountered at once in at
tempting to estimate the sympathies
of Americans with foreign parents.
Those who come to this country do
not always marry former eountrymen,
which is one of the reasons this nation
is able to assimilate so easily and so
thoroughly the large foreign influx we
have.
If Germans insisted on marrying
Germans, Frenehmen on having wives

that is plain American. The only
question is as to how soon they lose
the hyphen, and it seems risky to un-
dertake to classify those born in the
United States of foreign parents.

The revival meeting at the Chris
tian church. under the able leadership
Of HI. A. Van Winkle of Tillamook,
came to close Sunday night, SO far
as the regular evangelistic services
were concerned, but the actual closing
of the campaign was the reception
held last night for the members hav-
ing taken fellowship during the meet
ing just closed. Just seventy persons
responded to the invitation during
this special series of meetings, most
of whom will take fellowship with the
congregation here, there being only
two or three exceptions.
Sunday was banner day for this
people, beginning with the Bible
school parade at 9:3O. Never before
was there such a demonstration Of
Sunday school enthusiasm given in
Dallas. This phase of the meeting
was an idea Of the evangelist, who is
at the head of his own great school
in Tillamook, where there were as
sembled recently 422 for bible study.
The parade started promptly at 9:3O
from the Christian church and march
ed up Jefferson to Mill, then turning
west on Mill marched to Churcn
street, then south on Church street to
Washington, thence on Washington
east to Jefferson and back to the
church. There were in the Bible
school 40S, giving a margin Of eight
above the goal set for the day.
Mr. Van Winkle preached three
splendid sermons Sunday, and there
were good results at every service OF
the day and banner crowds. Prob
ably the greatest attendance Of the
meeting was that of the Sunday even
ing service, though the house has been
filed each Sunday night during the
revival and people turned away, for
there had been special arrangements
made for a great crowd at the closing
service.
Mr.. Van Winkle has endeared him
self to the church in Dallas, as well as
to hundreds of those who are not
members of the church, and never has
an evangelist pleased the people more
or drawn as large crowds. Never at
any time during the four weeks Of his
effort here was there dull moment
or a falling off in attendance. He
proved himself a great teacher as well
as being capable of drawing large
crowds. There were no Objectionable
methods used in the meeting, and no
playing to the galleries, but straight
forward preaching Of the truth in
love and with persuasion. This rails
es the membership of the Christian
church to about 500.
