Old and Unsightly in 1874.

Secretary Redfield says:
In 1874 the engineer officer in charge
Of public buildings and grounds declared
1t to be old and unsightlg' and in his
report for that year he asked authority
for its condemnation and sale. In 1877
II was fitted up for the storage of speci-
mems donated to the National Museum by
exhibitors at the Centennial exposition,
although the report of the secretary Of
the Smithsonian Institution for 1876
pointed Cut that it was i'll adapted to that
use on account of its infiammable char
acter. About 1882 and for several years
thereat.e. 1t was occupied In part. as a
fish hatchery, and in 1889 it was altered
and RENTED to serve as offices for the
United States fish commission, to be &C.
cupied Jointly with the Ma ional Museum.
After the Ford's Theat.r disaster an
examination of the building disclosed that
II was in a condition hazardous to the
lives a. its occupants and in 1898 it was
repaired at an expense of. $500. Since
then it has been occupied solely by this
bureau. and nothing has been expended
on 1t except for maintenance and make
shift arrangements in the attempt to
provide for the growing needs of the bu-
reau. For a number of tears both ths
proper discharge of administrative func-
tons and the performance of the con-
structive work, which is ths bureaus rea-
son for being, have been seriously ham
pered by the inadequacy ST the accom-
modationS.'

PREDICTS FARMERS
WILL HARVEST FISH
Secretary RedfieId Holds Out
New Hope for Cheaper
Living.
so HE TELLS THE HOUSE

In communication to she House of
Representatives asking flor new
building for the bureau :of fisheries.
Secretary RedfieId Of the. Department
of Commerce makes several interesting
suggestions. and one of them is that
within few years farmers will be
counting on their fish crop just as now
they count on wheat. corn and the other
regular products of agriculture. The
idea of planting and harvesting sun
fish, perch, fresh water ms ckerel, shad,
cells and carp is probably strange one
TO the average city man Who has little
practical knowledge of farming. but
Secretary Redheld's communication to
Congress shows that serious thought
has been given to the idea
1t is also possible that with the great
weight in Congress attained to the
magic word farmer" the members will
give the fish commission b new build
ing with more alacrity. The free seed
legislation always meets. unanimous
approval. perhaps in some future Con-
gresS along with the packages of tur-
nip seed and corn there Twill be sent
out under congressional franks letters
something like this:
My esteemed CONSTITUENT: l am
sending you under sepatate cover a
choice collection of fish eggs. including
the roe of the shad. the perch. the dace,
the club and the dogflsh. Plant these
in your fish ponds, where ! hope they
will grow to be large and luscious
fishes"

Consistent Booster of Fisheries.

Secretary Redfield has been a consistent
booster for the bureau of fisheries since
he took office in the Department of Com
merce, and under his administration the
country has received SEVERAL valuable
suggestions as to the edib ility of fish
little known hitherto. on the subject
of fish for farms he says to Congress:
Nothing has been done toward the
improvement of the races of fishes in
respect to size, vigor. rapid.ity of growth
and edible qualities. 1t Isl certain that
the culture of fish in poads on farms
Will assume Importance within the next
few years and the farmer should have
at his command the best brood stock
obtainable and information in regard to
its handling and improvement at least
equal in reliability to that which he
can obtain respecting poultry"
However, the bureau of fisheries, which
can be SO valuable in helping produce
large supply of fish food at cheaper
rates than food now averages, is cramp-
ed for space. and has reached the limit
of its usefulness. according to the Sec
rotary. The present building was erected
in 1856 as an armory for the District
militia

FASHIONED OF HUMAN SKIN
Most Remarkable Screen in the World
is That Owned by the Sultan
of Turkey.

There are many priceless relics in
the menage of the sultan of Turkey,
most of which symbolic brutality and
vice. But the romance Of the famous
screen in the throneroom Of the sui.
tan's palace is worth repeating.
1t is made, so rumor hath it, of hu.
man skin, perfectly tanned and elabo.
rately fooled and embossed, and it has
been in the royal quarters for more
than two centuries. This remarkable
screen Is not en- evidence of cruelty
or barbarity on the part Of Turkeys
ruler two hundred years ago, but Is q
memorial to twelve faithful servants of
a former sultan.
At n time during a sultan's reign
two hundred years ago, a wing OF the
palace caught fire, and during the con.
migration a much-loved member Of the
sultan's family was rescued by twelve
servants. The twelve servants per.
ished, some of them dying later of
their wounds and burns, so his mai
esty had their skins removed by an
expert and had them preserved in this
touching though remarkable nanner
The screen is o looked upon as a
part of the rulers inheritance, and II
is said that every sultan cherisnes 1t
as a mascot.

Living a Century.

There is a certain fascination about
living a century q" fascination that
easily leads to falsf1cation). The glory
OF the achievement sheds luster on the
re1notest connections, so that there is
always someone to boast of the feat,
and it is n Of the few ways in which
any old person who can last out may
bring fame to posterity.
"It amt s. much at she died, doc"
sobbed n old a at his mothers
bedside. "She was old an didn't know
nothin' no more, an she had to 60
sometime. But jes' to think, five weeks
more would ha' mad. her a hundred .
Clos't as that, an then to have all
them years o. are go for nothin' ~
Absurd, Of course! AS a matter of
fact. there is no special reason for
setting up the century post as a goal.
AS Prof. Irving Fisher has pointed
out in his famous REPORT on National
itality," the most important dimen-
ION of life is not length, but breadth.
here is little gain In the burdensome
dragging Of a life that is already spent.
