GET MUCH FOOD FROM OCEAN
Almost Every Species Of Fish 10 to Be
Found on the Tables Of tho
Japanese.

1t Is estimated that in Japan one
person in twenty in the entire empire
is more or less of a fisherman, and
fish appear in some form on the table
Of every Japanese family daily, II not
at every meal. The annual value of
water products is in excess Of $780,
100000. Half million boats are en-
gagged in fishing, of which $4,000 are
more than thirty feet long. Almost
a million men are professional fisher
men, and 100000 more give part of
their time to fishing and the rest of
farming or other pursuits. Only about
100000 men are so employed in the
United States.
A thousand species of fish, says the
Far East, have already been identified
In japanese waters. and almost every
one Of them is edible. One of the COM
monest, most wholesome and most
sought after is the shark, which the
western people have never learned to
eat. Even the octopus is a table deli
cacy.
Much fish is eaten raw by the jap
anese, a fact that is said to be much
more easily understood by foreigners
after they have tried raw mackerel or
other fish dipped in the delicious
sauces the Japanese employ in this
relation.

Ned Darlington nodded a bright
adieu to his friend and went on his
way swapping his fingers jauntily. poor
as church mouse, but happy all over
because he had learned the news at
the law Office where he was a junior
student that their uncle had provided
for Ralph royalty.
Time was when Ned had been the
prime favorite of the rich old man.
Then, because he would not truckle,
Mr.. Darwin had frowned on him. II
was Ned who had pushed to the front
Ralph Warner at this juncture. The
latter was a closer relative, he rea-
soned; he was not able to work regu-
larly; manly ease and comfort should
be his. He should have it, Ned
stepped aside for a friend.
He thought no more of that than IL

Uncle Darwin what he thought of him
when he acted selfish and uncharitable.
His mother had left him a small
settled income. 1t was enough to en-
able him to waste some time on his
visionary schemes while preparing for
the law. He was very prince of op.
timism-contented, good to everybody,
supremacy happy.
And he loved Lucia Ross! There
was another bright spot in his life.
He had not told her yet Sometimes
he wondered if, when the critical mo
ment came, she would favor his ap-
peal. All, then! They could be
friends-that was a consolation.

Darwin. He was on hand in the vi.

Saving Pennies.

Saving pennies has become quite
an industry among large number Of
women In this city," said the receiving
teller In a national bank. The same
ones come In here regularly to cash
their pennies for bills. Some Of them
have four or five hundred coppers to
exchange for bank notes. In most Of
the cases the women keep wooden or
pasteboard boxes as savings banks,
and whenever they find penny in
their pocketbooks 1t is transferred to
the box.
Every night the men In the house
holds examine their change and give
the coppers to their wives. They tell
me 1t surprises them how the pennies
soon creep to large proportions. With
the bills changed for the pennies the
women have pin money and can buy
hat, a piece Of lace and other ar
ticles that appeal to the feminine eye
without getting on their knees to their
husbands.
"One woman who is a regular Wis
itor here always breaks a five cent
piece for change, even though she has
plenty of pennies to complete pur>
chase. 1t is her rule to gather as
many coppers as possible"

Spread of Species.

One OF the problems that confront
the naturalist is that of accounting
for the distribution of identical forms
of life through widely separated locali-
ties. Investigation frequently shows
that this has been accomplished In
many ways that appear quite simple
when once discovered, although one
would hardly have thought of them.
Some interesting facts have been
cleaned concerning the dispersion OF
fresh-water mollusks. accounting for
their appearance in remote and iso-
lated ponds Water fowl play an i'm
portant part in this work. Ducks have
been known TO carry mussels attached
to their feet hundred miles or more.
Bivalve mollusks not infrequently
cling to the toes of wading birds, and
are thus transported for considerable
distances. Even aquatic insects have
been known to carry small fresh-wa-
ter mollusks attached to their legs

WALKING ON BUBBLES

fldant, Nellie Parr. "Mr. Darlington

happy. There can be no false philos-

speedy flush on the fair face Of her
companion and-wondered.
At that very moment the subject Of
this conversation was helping friend,
Ralph Warner, into an automobile in
front Of the Office Of the principal law
yer of Newton. There was a strong
contrast between the two men-Ned,
clear-eyed, the picture of health and
attractiveness, with his athletic frame
and handsome face; Ralph, frail and
walking and looking like what he was
of delicate constitution and not fit
ted for harsh contact with a rough
world.
THE finest day Of my life!" declared
Ned, and the air seemed to vibrate
with the worthiness and sincerity Of
his words.
The other clasped his hand as he
stepped into the machine. He looked
into the earnest, eager face of Ned,
tears in his eyes, his voice tremulous
with genuine emotion.

man to say it! You have robbed your
self for my sake"

as the heirs expectant entered the
house. There was crotchety cousin
Felix, old Aunt Pamela-time-serve
with lofty anticipation. There was a
crew of ravenous distant relatives.
Ralph had been especially summoned.
Lucia, too. and Ned wondered why,
for she was not relative of the dead
man.
Ned loitered about the grounds. He
wanted to congratulate Ralph when
he rode away realizing how rich man
he was. A lurking fondness for Lucia,
too, made him hope he would have an
opportunity to walk home with her.
In about half an hour down the
front steps bolted Cousin Felix. He
was red-faced and raving. He was
swinging his cane about in venge-
ire.
What's the trouble. Cousin Felix"
challenged Ned.
Trouble? Outrageous. sheer rob-
bery!" choked out the other
Left nothing?"
None Of US. Why aren't you in
there?"
"Oh, I have no interest in the es-
tate. that was settled long ago." de-
clared Ned.
Don't dissemble!" grunted Cousin
Felix between his teeth. You're left
the little house and lot where you
were born. That's something"
We'll, WE'LL" smiled Ned. 81 can
turn it into laboratory. Just the
thing"
ITO think Of it!' proceeded Cousin
Felix-"not a sou left to any of us
heirs except Ralph Warner and Lucia
Ross, and she not even a relative!"
What about Miss Ross?" demanded
Ned sharply.
Why, the entire estate is left to
Ralph, except twenty-five thousand dol
lars. She gets that-if she marries
him."
"W-what!"
Ned Darlington fell back against a
tree and gasped.
Cousin Felix passed on. Ned stared
into vacancy. Mr.. Darwin had always
liked Lucia, but to make this ridicu-
lous, unheard-of arrangement! What!
To practically make Ralph rich man
and throw in sweet. peerless Lucia as
If she were bag of gold!
Ned started away from the spot.
The bright sun of optimism was in
eclipse. He turned as a quick step
sounded on the graveled walk.
1t was Lucia. Her cheeks wore an
angry flush. Her lovely lips were
curled in disdain and chagrin She
seemed slightly hysterical as she ap-

flushed. He drew longingly nearer to

Flavia remained at the piano until
the clock struck H. The old servant
had long since retired and Flavia
stepped out for breath of cool air
before going upstairs.
A persistent rain had begun to fall.
Flavia hoped it would stop before the
party returned. She went up to the
nursery and peeped at the sleeping
child. For long time she stood gaz-
ing at him with unseeing eyes. then
she turned away and slowly went to
her room.
There was strange. brooding look
in her eyes and when she had braid.
ed her hair in two long plaits she
stole a quick glance at her reflection.
Then she covered her face with both
hands to hide what she had seen
there. Her face grew hot and she
stood for long time before the open
window watching the storm break
over the night. Then she slipped
again to the side of the cradle and,
making sure that the infant slept.
crept into her own bed.
