ally represented in art for nearly two thou
sand years. Every one OF the twelve
Apostles is making sore distinct gesture,
which was suggested 10 the artist by the
Bible story OF the subjects life. Here are
twelve men and leader in very ancient
costume seated at supper OF bread and
wine, and everyone is supposed to know
That such supper is one OF the most
sacred observances among Christians.
In view of all these suggestions in the
picture, it seems most significant that any

There were twenty.eight pupils in tho
room. OF these eleven were six years old
nine were eight years old, four were seven
years old. three were nine years old and
one, Protestant child, was ten years old.
The questions asked we're: % What

60 What Is Our Lord doing? This last
question was asked only when the identity
Of the figures had been established. The
result, as compared with Professor SCOTS
very discouraging experience in the public
schools OF a large city, was most con-
soling.
Not one child failed to recognize the
picture as representation of Our Lord
and His Apostles. Each one pointed out
the figure OF Christ Two Of the twenty

significance OF the picture. Only two failed
to realize what was being done. Every
child in the room was able TO recognize
the figure Of Jesus Christ"
IT will be obvious to every one that the
ability of the Catholic school children to
understand the picture was due to the fact
that they received religious instruction
every day Of the week This does not
make the complete ignorance OF the public
school children any the less remarkable.
But the mental altitude Of the Catholic
school children was very different from
mat OF the public school children in an.
other respect. Not only could the little
catholics recognize the Saviour, but they
could tell what the gestures OF all tho
apostles meant. These gestures, It will
ne recalled. meant little or nothing to the
public school children of Michigan. In
several cases the public school children

FISH PRODUCE MANY EGGS
Scientific Count Shows Perch 1o.s
Inches Long Contained 3o,480-
More In Small Than Large.

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 Bayarian 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 3,000), 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 fluyiatilis), In this case
the females just about to spawn being
killed, and the ovaries being removed
and dissected. The number Of eggs In
perch ranged from 3,710 for fish -four
inches long up to 30,4S0 for one 10.l
inches long; but In this species, also,
the number Of eggs per unit weight
