where except in the still headwaters,
and it is necessary that they arrive
there with the least exertion. The
Government makes it obligatory that
at least one fish ladder be built into
every dam across such rivers.
Fish ladders, while they may be
built Of wood, stone or concrete, &C
cording to the material of which
the dam is constructed, are all alike
in principle and consist of a trough
which begins at water level on the
low side of the dam and then ex-
tends upward In several zig-zag steps
to a point below the water level on
the upside of the stream. Water
enters at the top and flows down and
out at the bottom. Its flow, how
ever, is not free like that in a sluice,
but is retarded by means of cross
pieces at regular intervals in the
trough.
The water in the ladder is contin-
ually flowing down and out at the
bottom, forming a running stream,
up which the fish may swim with a
choice of passing from the first pool
to the next and so on up by swimming
thru the bottom notches or jumping
thru the top notches from one pool
to the next higher one. The jump
in the latter case is not more than
eight inches and can be done easily
by almost any kind of fish.-Popular
Science Monthly.

Even then l did not realize what a
cloudburst really was. l assumed
that a cloudburst was an actual de-
luge poured from the clouds as one
would pour water from a tub, but
this was erroneous. A cloudburst
means a monstrous, marvellous fall
of water, the fall being in the usual
manner only of greater volume.
We had at Green's Fruit Farm this

"MANICURING" A CAPTIVE
LEOPARD'S CLAWS

The task of trimming the claws OF
a wild beast in a 200" is a rather
strenuous one, as is shown by the
manner in which Dick" the seven
year-old leopard in Central Park,
New York, is treated when his claws
are cut short. Al a recent "manicur-
ing" the animal was thrown on his
side close to the front of his cage
so that one front leg and one hind
leg projected under the frame sup
porting the iron bars. The two legs
were then drawn out their full length
by ropes fastened just above the
paws and tied to an outer railing,
making it impossible for the animal
to move. In this position the keepers
were able, with scissors and other
instruments, to undertake in safety
the trimming so essential to the leop-
ards comfort.

OF course, this one hundred-foot
Jump is not made all in one leap,
but in a number OF short leaps of
eight inches each. This feat is
made possible by what is called a fish
ladder.
This ladder must be placed in all
river dams in which fish, such as
salmon, swim up to the river heads
to spawn. Fish will not spawn any

BABY MUSSELS TO
AVERT BUTTON FAMINE

A great laboratory has been es-
tablished on the Mississippi River,
says the National Geographic Maya
zine, where experiments have been
in progress to determine how the
pearly mussels may be artificially in
creased so that the many factories
buttons therefrom may not have to
shut down following the exhaus-
ton of the mussel beds by unregu-
lated fishing.
An entirely new problem in aqui-
culture was here presented, and has
now been satisfactorily solved
through the discovery that the young
mussels, while still in a microscopic
larval stage, must attach themselves
to the gills of particular fishes in
order to develop, and that unless the
fishes for which the different kinds
of mussels have a selective affinity
are available none of the young will
survive.
The fish hosts of the various i'm
portant button-making mussels have
been determined and it is the pro-
vince of the laboratory to provide
those fishes and have them inoculate
themselves by swimming in tanks or
ponds in which the spawning mus
sells have been placed. When a
fish is sufficiently infested, it is
turned loose in the river, and in a
few weeks the young mussels, hav-
ing attained a proper development,
become detached from the gills, fall
to the bottom of the stream, and be-
gin their independent existence.

plants can grow for many years to

been so severe as this during 100
years. This has been shown by the

BEN BOLT.

(Thomas Dunn English
Don't you remember Sweet Alice
Ben Bolt
Sweet Alice, whose hair was so
brown.
Who wept with delight when you
gave her a smile,
And trembled with fear at your
frown?
In the old churchyard in the valley,
Ben Bolt.
In a corner obscure and alone,
They have fitted a slab of the gran
tie so gray,
And Alice lies under the stone.
Under the hickory tree Ben Bolt,
Which stood at the foot of the
hill,
Together we've lain in the noon
day shade,
And listened to Appleton's mill.
The mill-wheel has fallen to pieces,
Ben Bolt,
The rafters have tumbled in,
And a quiet which crawls around the
walls as you gaze
Has followed the olden din.
Do YOU mind of the cabin of logs,
Ben Bolt,
AT the edge of the painless wood,
And the button-ball tree with its
motley limbs,
Which nigh by the doerstep stood ?
The cabin to ruin has gone, Ben
Bolt,
The tree you would seek for in
vain;
And where once the lords of the for
est waved
Are grass and the golden grain.
And don't you remember the school,
Ben Bolt,
With the master so cruel and grim,
And the shaded nook in the run
ming brook
Where the children went 70
swim?
Grass grows on the masters grave
Ben Bolt,
The spring of the brook is dry,
And of all the boys who were schol-
mates then
There are only you and l.
There is change in the things
loved, Ben Bolt,
They have changed from the old
to the new;
But feel in the deeps of my spirit
the truth,
There never was change in you.
Twelve months twenty have past
Ben Bolt,
Since first we were friends-yet
l hail
Your presence blessing, your
friendship a truth,
Ben Bolt of the salt sea gale.

STOCKHOLDER ANSWERS
ANTI-UNION EMPLOYER

New York.-When James H. Ecob,
stockholder of the Third Avenue Rail
ways Company, made public protest,
few days ago, against the anti-union
policy of President Whitridge of that
company the latter answered that he
would not touch union man with a
pair of tongs ten feet long"
In his reply DR.. Ecob says:
81 am quite sure that such a spirit of
intolerance and bitterness is very poor
equipment for dealing with the grave
and complex questions now pending be-
tween capital and labor
"ln your newspaper reply you show
that YOU have got no farther than being
good to your men You say that you
provide club rooms, and under an in
surance system, 81 ,0O0 is allowed to the
families of the men who die. 1t is a
commonplace that any employer who is
not good to his men is lacking in busi-
ness shrewdness. On the same principle,
liveryman is good to his horse. In
the old slavery days the good driver
was not the one with an iron fist and a
blacksnakc whip. He was the good
driver whose slaves went to the field
laughing and singing. Efficiency experts
tell us today that good temper and con-
tentment are the best possible labor as
sets. Ten or Is years ago your good
ness to your men would have been hail
ed with sincere applause. Today we say,
of course, that is not social service, but
cold, hard sense and good business, pro-
vided the men feel satisfied with your
form of paternalism.
But the fact is that the men were
not satisfied. They were harassed by
your parallel system of rules and fines
and by form of government that was
accomplished by espionage, coercion and
intimidation. There was a reason why
the street car men of this city were
looked upon as the most discourteous
public servants in any city i'll the coun-
try, -,
Your GOODNESS to your men failed
to make better public servants, to make
more contentcd men, and even failed to
prevent their wanting to organize.
"Ihc trouble is not so much with
your holding ideas of benevolent des-
potism as it is with our public service
commission that has neglected to set
up standards of social service, as well
as standards of business service. This
public body has not set up any COM
pulsory standards to which you must
adhere as to such working conditions
as the right to organize and to bargain
collectively, but the public, hope. will
soon say to you that it does not propose
to have its own creation read its obso-
lctc fcudal laws in dealing with en-
Dloves"

PRESS INFLUENCE WEAKENS

Trinidad, Colo.-Editor O'Neill, Of
the Trinidad Free Press, has this to say
OF that portion OF the public press that
never fails to oppose remedial legisla-
ton urged by the workers:
Not only was the Adamson law
branded as worthless, but the Child
Labor law was repudiated by these
journals as fake, Notwithstanding the
fact that both bills were fought by all
the power and influence OF organized
greed.
'What was the purpose OF this
bought and paid for press? The or
gans pledged to special interests had
failed to arouse the people against the
passage of these measures, and they
reached the conclusion that if only the
working class OF the nation could be
made to believe that they had been i'm
posed upon by the passage of measures
that we're worthless, the plutocracy OF
Wall street could be iortrcssed in the
White House at Washington
"Thc people of this country are rap
idly losing their confidence in those
great daily journals, which are some
times referred to as the 'molders Of
public opinion.

HAS HIS FACE TO THE PAST.

Washington, ID. C.-Charles r. Van
EIisc, president OF the University Of
Wisconsin, has evidently not heard OF
the Clayton law. which declares that
''the labor OF human being is not a
commodity or article OF commerce"
This act removes Labor from the
Sherman Antitrust law and notifies
Federal judges that they can no longer
issue injunctions against workers on
the theory that labor is a commodity.
President Hise, however, ignores this
iorward-looking legislation and insists
that if the Federal Government has the
right to regulate freight rates for car
load OF sewer pipe it should also be en-
powered to regulate the wages OF en-
ploycs.
He told the Chamber OF Commerce OF
