FISH PRODUCE MANY EGGS
Scientific Count Shows Perch 1o2
Inches Long Contained 3o,4eo-
Moro In Small Than Larae.

Information concerning the number
Of eggs produced by various species Of
fish has been limited mainly to rather
rough estimates.
According to the Allgemeine Fisch-
erei- Zeitung, some careful counts were
made last year at the Bavarian trout
hatchery. The first investigations were
in connection with common trout and
rainbow trout; So specimens Of the
former and 81 Of the latter were
stripped, and the ova counted. The
older and heavier fish were found to-
have the most eggs (ranging up to
about 5000, but the younger fish
yielded a decidedly larger number Of.
eggs In proportion to the weight Of
the fish.
The experiments were repeated with
perch (Perca fluviatilis), In this case
the females just about to spawn being
killed, and the ovalies being removed
and dissected. The number Of eggs in
perch ranged from 3,710 for fish four
inches long up to 30,4SO for one 1912
inches long; but in this species, also.
the number Of eggs per unit weight
of fish is much larger in small than
In large ish.-Scientific American.

NEGRO SELECTMEN GATHER
THE GRAPES

Little Rock, Ark. Nov. 28.-Waste
not your sympathy upon the poor
negro who becomes a part of the
National army through the draft.
! Congratulate him instead for the
colored brother gathers the grapes,
ne being favored
above all il the matter Of personal
q -rnr The only way a negio can
g., .j.icd in this war is to contest
the right Of an army truck to the
highway, or tickle Ct an army mule.
Negroes arriving at Camp Pike
are uniformed and equipped, then
I thoroughly drilled and sent on
their journey. Engineering and la
Dor com panies ere formed. The la
Dor companies are formed of vol
unteers, and while the word is not
so long as "engineers", it gets quite
few who would hesitate if they
were asked to join a plain, every
"work" company.
The labor companies are for just
what the word implies, and the
same word might also be applied to
the engineering companies, for
there is little difference between
digging trenches and shoveling rock
on a French road, and supplying
the motive power for truck load
ed with supplies from some army
transport that has just reached a |
port Of France.
The negro gets $50 per month for
this, as vel as better clothing than
he ever owned, and tire good
meals a day. The clothing is
warm, not flashy and flimsy. The
negro is at ease in it, and his shoes
fit his feet. He no longer wears
a high collar if he is city broke,
or patent leather shoes that crimp
his feet in the cotton field. Only in
times of emergency can negro
earn this much, even be he skillful
in the manipulation Of the dice.
But in addition to this the ne
gro is given, just like the white !
man, $500 per month for his wife, !
if he has one. He gets $500 PEP
month for a wife and child. Thus
a negro with wife and one child |
is drawing $500 a month and his
own subsistence. How many ne
groes can do this at home, and how
manv of them are as free from
danger as the negro will be doing
odd Jobs in the vicinity of the
fighting without getting into it?
In addition to all this the negro
gets his medical attention without
paying out dollar a week to a Sc
cret society or medical benefit
fund. he has the advantage of edu-
cation"l training in the Y. M. C. A.,
and f he should happen to die, and
he has avai'ed himself OF the insur-
ance offered by the greatest of all
governments. his family for the
next twenty years.
The NEGRO companies do not tar
~ On" at Camp Pike. They are al
ways ready to go, and are kept at
F 4~"n"th by transferring new
,re~ into the company to fill a va
'ancv. no matter if it be only tenn
oorary. If a negro becomes sick.
re ceases to be member of the
company, a we'll man taking his
place, for that very day orders NAV
'ome to move, and the compan~
'annot go with even o-c man shy.
