While Silver was being treated at the
Emergency hospital, where he had been
taken after he had jumped from his

tale calculated to add new data to the
obscure annals of Psychology.

Waded into the water up to his knees,
and that again he had stepped through
the window of house in which he was

Harrisburg, Pa.-When the attention

Three Years Bring Results.
The time necessary for the best re-
suits after stocking the pond is three
wears. Mr Shireman's statement IS
based on experiments IN Kansas in a
circular pond which had an area Of
about one acre. The pond was shallow
near the edges and sloping toward the
center to a depth Of six feet. For the
most part the bottom was Of mud.
Stocking the pond was the greatest
task and after that little was done ex-
cept to provide food for the fish for

so, there is no force that will prevent
