Cholera Among Serbs.

The outbreak of cholera among the
Serbs on their arrival in Corfu proved
|. a mixed disadvantage. 1t made their
transport to Saloniki in time to par
Eticipate in an offensive in May impos-
sible. Moreover, it reduced their num-
bers very materially; a great many
more Serbs died than will ever be
known, not simply of cholera, but
from enteroga stritis. malnutrition and
sheer exhaustion.
The Serbian army was in far worse
shape after it's retreat through AL
bania than had been supposed. The
entire force needed full re-equipment
and the recruits from Serbia and the
volunteers from America required
drilling. Marshal Putnik was no
longer physically able to command and
many Of the leading officers were dead
or too worn by the late hardships to
continue active service. and a new set
Of officers had to be chosen. All of this
demanded time. The idea of any of
fensive from Saloniki in May was
therefore given up and the work of re-
making the Serbian army was pushed
as rapidly as possible.

QUEER FISH AT PALM BEACH
EIephant-Eared Sunfish, 200 to 400
Years Old, Caught, and Weighs
Nearly Ton.

The oddest-looking fish ever taken in
Palm Beach, and probably the only
one Of its kind ever caught In Amer
lean waters was harpooned In the Gulf
stream the other day by Ambrose
Monnell, Jr., president Of the Midvale
Steel company. 1t was an elephant
cared sunfish, estimated to have been
spawned anywhere from 200 to 400
years ago and to have weighed then
about one sixty-thousandth part Of its
weight when captured, which was
close to ton. Both John D. Grim
Minis of New York and F. B. Magill
of Cincinnati, each an authority on
nsh, expressed such an opinion. The
American Museum Of Natural History
wired for a plaster cast of the fish and
its brain for research work.
1t was shaped and formed like the
little sunfish that swims in a glass
bowl, except that 1t had ears like an
elephant and that they were folded
close to the skin. The hide was like
emery paper In color and texture. The
nsh Is native to African waters.

Music While Employees Work.

A dry-cleaning establishment In Gin
cinnati has come to the conclusion
that If its employees hear music at
frequent intervals while they work 1t
Will not only make them happier. more
contented and better workers, but that
they will accomplish more than If they
were without it.
Working upon this theory, there
have been installed throughout the
big establishment enough monographs
to keep lively music playing most OF
the day.
The records are selected with care.
lest a funeral selection, or a dreamy
waltz should creep in. There are
many lively dance records and popu.
lar songs. The workers hum and sing
to the lively music and the speed OF

Cows Must Be Good

AS the spring approaches and the

whose species was the cause of a re-
cent municipal election here, became
an important object on the landscape.
Orting has legislated in the past that
each family may permit one COW to
run at large during daylight hours
upon payment to the town Of a license
fee of 30 cents per year. It is not
contemplated to restrict the number
OF cows that family may own. but
the town will permit but one COW for
each family to run at large at night.
and any COW found to be VIGOROUSLY
destructive Of gates and fences may
be banished from the streets. II YOU

RICHES TO BE DEVELOPED
Beds OF Shale In Western States VIII
Yet Be Made to Yield Millions
OF Dollars.

Little attention has been paid to
shale In this country because the
quantity Of petroleum produced from
wells in the United States has been
sufficient to satisfy all demands. but
for more than fifty years the oil shale
industry of Scotland has been a very
important one. In recent year more
than 5000 men were employed In the
industry In that country, yet the aver
age yield of oil per ton OF shale was
much less than that which appears
possible from the shale OF Colorado
and Utah. It is estimated that in
Colorado alone there is sufficient
shale, In beds three feet or more thick
ana richer than the shale being mined
in Scotland, to yield twenty billion
barrels OF crude oil, from which at
least two billion barrels OF gasoline
may be extracted by ordinary refining
processes. This shale contains mate
rails which. when heated, may be con-
verified into crude oil, gas and am
monia- The high cost OF distil1ing oil
from shale as compared to the cost
OF producing oil from wells has thus
far prevented the development in this
country of such an industry and may
continue to prevent 1t for some time,
but in due time this great source Of
supply will be utilized to supplement
the decreasing production from the
regular oil fields. The gas, which is
a very good Illuminating gas, will per-
naps be sufficient to furnish all the
heat required to distill the crude oil
rom the shale. Ammonia, a most
by-product of the distillation.
nay be utilized in the manufacture OF
commercial fertilizer or other nitrogen
compounds, as the market demands.

A government that is strong
must render impossible internal
dissension, especially such gov

THE south fought to main.

federal forces fought to main
tain the pride of an empire he
said.
A government must have
something substantial to make
its citizens patriotic.
The question of secession
was passed on to the court of
might for settlement and the
south lost, but not without fight

war could not have lasted eight
