FISH TRAVEL BY LAND.

Popular Science Monthly
That certain species of fish are able
actually to flop over the land is the re-
markabe discovery Of Johns Hopkins
professor.
In the course Of his Investigations the
professor noticed that such fish as min
nows are often found in the little tenn
porary pools that are left in the sand
by retreating tide If the minnows are
so unwary as to be caught when the
entrance is blocked, they actually leave
the water and flop over the sand to the
sea. The professor has often seen
scores OF these fish leave large pools
and travel over sand bars more than II
feet wide and half a foot high.
\ remarkable feature about this dis
coyery is that the fish never sake the
wrong direction for any great distance.
v hen fish travel on land, the professor
asserts, they spring like snakes or kan
garoos by sudden bends Of the body.
Although in its fal the FISH may find its
head turned the wrong way it neverthe-
less makes its next leap in the proper
direction.
These researches raise the question:
is there some mental machinery at work

Having determined to leave thin

OF carbolic acid and drank of its con
tents, not sufficiently, however, to ac.

The young lady, it appears, came to
this city several weeks ago from Har-
risonburg, Va, and secured employ
ment in local factory, where she haG
been working until just recently,
when she became sick and remaineu
at her boarding house.
Before coming to this city, it IL
said, that she had married a Virgin
ian and after living together for a
short time, cupid's love faded, and
the young couple became separated
which is supposed to have been the
cause of her hasty action. Her hus
band is supposed to be LIVING at Front

The girl, for she is only about 10
years old, is now getting along nicely

Dependence Upon Farmer.
Both educationally and socially tn-
farmer would receive the greatest di
rect advantage from road improve
ment, but it must be remembers
that no one class of our citizens can
improve themselves financially, edit.
cationally. socially or religiously with.
out indirectly benefiting every other
class of our citizens. This is doubly
true off the farmer. People have liv-
ed without the merchant, manufacture
err or banker and could do so again,
but the failure of the farmer to pro-
luce his ANIMAL crop would mean star
walton. A partial failure would mean
higher prices and unsatisfied hunger

tional and social advantages of farm
life means more attractive farms,
more farmers, greater efficiency, as
well as more permanency in produc-

food supply.
Improved Surroundings.
Outside of the tangible benefits to
the farmer already enumerated there
are others not so evident AS a man
tears down the old house and builds
in its place a modern one, not that
he will make money by the transac-
ton, but that he will add to the COM

which will be held at the Mt. Airy
