RIVER FLOODS AFFECT OCEAN
Destruction of Sea Fish Shows Disas-
tiers Of This Kind Not Always
Confined to Land.

The disasters from river floods are
not always confined to the land. but
may extend TO the coastal waters Of the
ocean.
In late address of the Royal So
ciety Of New South Wales. Charles
Hedley recalled two instaneeS-in 1866
and 1S91-of the sudden destruction of
large part of the mollusks of Port
Jackson. as an effect of the temporary
leSsening Of the Salinity of the water.
Mussels. oysters, limpets and peri
wrinkles were destroyed, half of the
such animals as fishes and crabs were
able To escape into deep water. The
stencil along shore became unbearable
Streaks and patches of blood-red dis
colored the waters of the harbor and
1t was concluded that the freshening
of these waters permitted the rapid
development of enormous swarms of a
microscopic red Glenodinium, which
suffocated the bivalves by clogging
their gils. Their decay spread the de-
struction.
Certain Japanese reefs are known
by fishermen to become sometimes
mysteriously burnt" animals and
plants disappearing, and this is at
tributed to fresh water from heavy
river floods. In which marine algae
die carrying death to associated or
ganisms.

WHY YOU SHOULD SAVE
Nine Persons in 100 Have More
Than 5000 When They Die.

For the young nan who thinks it a
manly thing to spend money freely and
who sneers at the thrifty person
a "stingy. and "mean," here are d
few facts that he may digest with
profit, observes Il writer in the Kansas
City Star.
Stxty-tiye of every 100 persons dy-
ing in this country have absolutely no
estate: they die penniless. OF the re-
manning 81 persons. p never accumu-
late more than 81, 800 in their lifetime
and die with less than that. Only
nine persons in 100 have more than
$1,000 when they die.
Only two per cent of the whole popu-
lation may be elassed as "well-to-dO."
The other % per cent of the people of
this country have only their wages
from day to day. or are dependent
upon relatives or upon charity OF
every hundred persons who reach the
age of sixty-five no fewer than 81 are
partly or wholly dependent upon rela-
tiyes. friends or charity for food, cloth
ing or shelter.
These figures are not mere estf-
mates. They are taken from the gov
eminent census statistics and are ar
ranged and given out by the president
of the American Society of Thrift, a
society organized by some representa-
tive business men who see real dan
ger to our nation in the American
tendency to wastefulnesS.
II will be seen from these figures
that thrift is a virtue that needs to be
taught To young people. The boy who
squanderS his youth in riotous living.

fortune later i'll life, should scan
these figures and learn that he has just
nine chances in 100 10 ever accumulate
$1,000 or more and if he is to be
one of the fortunate ones he must be-
