The cod Is estimated to yield $4,000
600 eggs each season. AS many as
100000, 100000 and even 100000
eggs have been found In the roe Of a
single cod. An eel was caught In Scot
land some years ago which contained
upward of 100000 eggs. This, how
ever, would appear to have been an ex-
ceptional find, and it is generally adj
mitted that the cod Is more prolific
than any other fish. Though not
eQualing the cod, many kinds Of fish
are exceedingly prolific. More than
$4,000 eggs have been counted in a
herring, $4,000 in a smelt, 100000
in a sole, 100000 in roach,
100000 in a sturgeon, $4,000 in
carp, $4,000 in tench, $4,000 in
a mackerel, $4,000 in a perch, and
1890 in a founder. The oyster
is also very prolific. 1t has been as.
certained by recent observation that
in the liquor Of their shells small
oysters can be seen by aid of the mil
croscope -120 In the space Of an inch,
covered with shells. and swimming ac-
lively about. A herring weighing six
or seven ounces is provided with
about 10000 eggs It has been est
mated that in three years single pair
Of herrings would produce 154,OOO,0OO.
Button calculated that If a pair
of behring's couldbe left to breed and
multiply undisturbed for a period Of
20 years they would yield an amount
Of fish equal In bulk to the globe

CARED LITTLE FOR POLITICS
President Cleveland, However, Had
Real Liking for the Law, and
Loved TO Fish.

'President Cleveland loved the law
better than he did politics" remarked
r. o. Brown, a former resident OF Buff
falo, to a reporter Of the Washington
Post. "Had he considered his own de-
sires he would never have left his prac-
tice for political office. doubt If even
the prospect Of becoming president
would have induced him to enter poll
tics.
1T was my privilege to know Mr..
Cleveland when he was practicing his
profession before he entered politics.
He was not what might be termed q
glittering success as a lawyer. BE had
no business instinct so far as the law
was concerned, but he delighted in
intricate legal problems. and much pre-
ferred to take case that involved APP
parently hopeless questions. 1t could
not be said he was a good pleader, and
while the average person was not at
tracted by his addresses In court,
judges on the bench had the greatest
respect for them, because they were
profound and logical.
"When he was not engaged in law,
Cleveland delighted in utter abandon
ment of all things that required
thought; above everything else he
loved to fish. / recall that when some
Of his Democratic friends wanted him
to become candidate for mayor he
said: 4 don't want any more of poll
tics. l want to stay right here in Erie
county, where can. go fishing occas
sionally. lido not care IL I neyercget'

jBlondin, the great rope walker, as
founded the world in the early SOS
by walking a tight rope across the
chasm below Niagara Falls. At that
time the world did not anticipate
the coming of Herberta Beeson, the
champion romper on the wire with
the Sells-Floto circus, which will be
in Mexico Tuesday, August 81.
When Blondin made his famous
walk across the chasm he carried a
long balancing pole. He negotiated
the distance successfully, but never
realized that the balancing pole
would soon be a thing obsolete to
wire walkers.
Roberta Beeson uses nothing but
sense of equilibrium in accom-
olishing stunts that the school boy
would find difficult if he stood on
terra firma.
Jumping rope on a narrow thread
of steel is a hazardous thing to do
if the tread is only two inches from
the ground But this and other
morel hazardous feaIts on high wire
are child's play to this great wire
walker.
A trick performed with compare
tive case, yet is startling to the OBJ
server, is standing erect on the wire
and turning a backward hand
spring. To show perfect mastery OF
the art of wire-walking Herberta
Beeson stands on his head high
above the audience.

FRENCH, BRITISH AND YANKs
CONTINUE TO PUSH HUNS.
Enemy Falls Back Into Flanders
Over Front of rs Miles French
Carry On To A Depth OF 3 Miles.

From scissors to the Belgian
border the German armies are be-
ing put to the test by the French
and British. Nowhere have the Teu-
tons been able to sustain the shock.
From Aisne to the Disc, from
Oise to the region around Roye, in
the Arras sector and on to the Lys
salient, the Germans fall back un-
der pressure of Allied troops.
In the new offensive conducted
by French General Mangin over a
front of Is miles, from Bailly to
the Aisne, near Scissors the French
have carried their line to depth of
about three miles. and in the first
phases of the battle had turned to
French possession numerous enemy
held villages. More than 5000 Ger
mans had been herded behind the
line, prisoners.
Unofficial accounts placed the
French on various sectors we'll in
advance of positions outlined in
the French Official communications
Along the Scarpe River, east of
Arras, Field Marshal Haig's forces
have kept up their harassing tao
tics against the enemy, who have
continued to fall back.
The Germans resist vigorously
but to no purpose. The British are
to the east of village of Fampoux
The Germans now stand on the old
battle line of December, 1917.
The British have the villages Of
Vierhosk, La Couronne, and L'Ep
inette. This puts the British as
tride the road running southeast
ward to Estaires.
Germans are stubbornly contest
ing for vantage on south line of thu
Somme, near Chaulnes, and nortl
of Roye, which place they still hold
and is the keystone to the enem.

Beauvraignes by the French, how

falling, and with it we. hope fol
