Fish and Game

Chairman Harry B. Austin on Iues-
day informed the Journal OF an I'M
nortant piece of work being done at
the State hatchery at Monmouth, I'M
der the supervision of State Supt. OF
Hatcheries Arthur Briggs and Supt.
w. A. Whiting of that hatchery. me
water at the Monmouth hatchery after
a storm has been bothering on account
of the turbidity caused by the clay IN
the roundabout soil. To do away with
this condition, which not only was a
hindrance in the hatchery crews work
hut was not good for the young and
tender fish, the commission decided to
get it's water from the brook leading
from Delano spring at point up near
err it's source. .oo,
, They therefore purchased about 1900
feet Of s-inch cypress wood pipe and
that is now being laid. 1t consists OF a
stave-made pipe. heavily steel banded ana
carving an exterior coating OF about
half an inch Of asphalt covering. 1t
stands the water we'll and is particularly
adapted for this Job, where for about
500 feet it is laid in the brook and for
the remainder of the 1890 feet Is IN
swampy land. 1t comes in sections OF
eight or 10 feet and is easily handled.
the joints being driven perfectly tight
and the strength Of the pipe ensuring
long life.
The commissioners are confident that
this new water supply will be an ample
one of good, clean and cold water. just
what the young fish want and must have
to secure good results.
The I'd Resiment's Coyote
The I'd Maine Infantry boys brought
home coyote from the wilds of Texas
and that was ''agin" the law Of the
state-hence the disposal Of the little fell

concern, with the result that a special
permit has been issued bv the Fish and

the same until the operation is per-
formed, when a diseased appendix is
removed.
THE majority of physicians. includ-
ing the petitioners physicians, claim
that appendicitis is caused by germ OF
some foreign substance entering or be-
coming lodged in the canal of the ap-
pendix. This theory cannot well be
disputed by the layman and perhaps
not proven by the physician. but the
best obtainable knowledge of matters
of this kind must be considered.
1T is the opinion of the chairman
that the appendix of Bossineau had
been in a diseased condition from the
time when the first pains were felt five
months or one year prior to March
twenty eighth. that the weakened con-
dition was slowly developing and that
the lifting on the date alleged did not
affect the appendix. Prayer of petit

MORE SCIENCE.

Quite recently number of tho leading scientists in Great Britain memorialized the government pro- testing agcinst the neglect of science in that country; pointed out that it was not given sufficient attention in the prosecution of the war or ia the piping times of peace. Showed that the scools and universities neg Iected it, and that it was treated with contemptuous indifference, and that while classical education ap- peared prominently in all university and school curriculums. science found no place. They furthermo-e pointed out that legislators were mostly ignorant of science wholly,
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1916-06-23

and that it found no favor either in public or in private life.
 That is not the first time that scientific men in Great Britain have complained Regarding scientific men as the only really educated men, Herbert Spencer said that most members of parliament were ignor- ant men. As in the United States Congress lawyers predominate in the British parliament, and it is only conferring an undeserved dis tinction to regard the man learned in the law as anything, but in the ordinary sense, learned mcn.
 The complaint is suggestive. It is questionable whether or not the affairs of nation would not be bet tered if they were administered by men who were educated in political and economic and social sciences.
 As things now stand, legislation is a hap hazard response to certaiG demands by certain interests, and that response often takes the form of a joker which is i1gerted for the express purpose of making that le- gislation effect certain purposes not otherwise understood to be the pur- port of the bill.
 The average legislator knows little or nothing about actual conditions even in his constituency. The re- presentative of a factory district in the east before an inquiring boacG couldn't tell what rate of wages were current in his district; didn't know what rents were paid, nor that, as was shown tLc mal9s wages were 50 low that ether mem bers of the family were required tc work in order to provide sutfici- ency. The hopeless ignorance O. most congressman concerning actual social and industrial facts is most striking, while the efforts of men to make clear their views upon fiscal and currency questions have merely established the fact that they had no views at all, despite their honest efforts to acquire those of the in terests which they right nobly re presented.
 The discussion before the House committee on the Child Labor law by men from southern states where child labor prevailed showed that they had not the slightest idea ot the extent or the consequences of child labor, and it did not trouble them in the least. The cumbersome faults found with representative governments are due in the main to the fact men who are representa- t.yes do not know the facts of the social and economic life of the na ton. A politician has come to mean a man who understands pol- tical intrigue, cunning and vote getting, and nothing more, the irre- duciable minimum of fatuity being apparently reached therein.
