FISH PRODUCE MANY EGGS
Inches Long Contained 30,4so-
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 Bavarian trout
hatchery. The first Investigations were
in connection with common trout and
rainbow trout; 5S 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 $1,000, 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 fuviatilis), In this case
the females just about to spawn being
killed, and the ovar1es being removed
and dissected. The number Of eggs in
perch ranged from $40 for fish four
inches long up to 30,480 for one 1912
inches long; but In this species, also,
the number Of eggs per unit weight
Of fish Is much larger in small than
In large f1sh.-Scientif1c American.

MISSING VEST HUNG IN TREE
Farmers Raiment, Containing Money,
Disappeared From Bush-Crows
Blamed as Guilty Culprits-

Spooky things happen and some
times puzzle people. Occasionally they
can be accounted for, as in this case,
notes Copper's Magazine. One morn
ing early in August Sayles Turner, an
Eastern farmer, went to work in his
hay field. AS the morning was warm,
Turner removed his vest and hung it
on a small bush. When he quit work
late in the afternoon he went for his
vest, but it was gone. In the pocket
Of the vest was $40 in bills. Turner
decided it had been stolen.
A few days ago Turner and his hired
man went to the woods, five miles
from his house, to cut wood. The first
tree cut was large hemlock. On a
limb near the top Of the tree they
saw an object fluttering in the breeze.
The tree was felled and the men went
to the object. It was Turner's lost
vest. Nineteen of the twenty dollars
were in the vest pockets. The vest
was badly torn, which may account
for the missing dollar. Turner be-
lieves that crows carried the vest from
the hay field and deposited 1t in the
top Of the tree.

Curious School Customs.

Mexican schoolmasters show their
appreciation Of pupils efforts in a
curious manner. The diligent student
is allowed to smoke cigar during the
lesson. When the whole class has CIV
en- satisfaction permission Is given for
a general smoke, and even the little
Mexicans are allowed to light ciga-
rette for the occasion. Needless to
say, the schoolmaster himself smokes
a cigar Of size and quality proper
tomato to his superior position. But
the pupils are not allowed to drink,
this privilege being accorded to the
master only. On his desk he always
keeps a bottle Of liquor, which, when
empty, occasions much dispute among
the parents Of his scholars, as 1t is
considered an honor to be able to fill
the schoolmaster's bottle.

EXCITEMENT ON THE BOWERY
Hubbub Caused by Cry of "Stok
Thief" on New York's Noted High
way Frightens Habitues.

A thief chase on the BOwery was a
song was popular. Then the dips and
others who infested that thOroughfare
would hold up any passerby who they
thought had anything that looked like
money concealed on his person. But
the light-fngered gentry and strong
armed fellows have found other fields
more lucrative, according to a New
York correspondent of the Pittsburgh
Dispatch.
The big street is now the stamping
grounds of 'weary Willies" and buns
whose only vocation is to panhandle
the price of drink. So one day re-
Gently, when the old familiar cry of
stop thief" was heard the Bowery
was almost paralyzed; everybody
stood still and watched for the culprit.
Soon they saw tall, lean and hungry
looking youth darting under the ele-
waited pillars, but they made no effort
to catch him. When the cops arrived
on the scene the man had disappeared.
"Where did he gow beloved one with
club, who held it threateningly over
several men who stood in doorway.

way? Where did he got Come on,

While the cops were making their
search apathetic, cringlng men came
from the different doorways to learn
what the excitement was all about.

ing individual, as the cops departed,
II was scared it was some guy offering
a job" And appreciative chuckles
went up along the line.

FEW VISIT INLAND TURKEY
Thriving City of kaisariyeh, an
Ancient Metropolis.

Of the real Turkey few Americans
have a clear picture. ConstantinopIel

Very few Americans have made the
inland voyage. Behold, time, the city
of Kaisariyeh, halfway between the.
Mediterranean and the Black sea,
served by no railroad, yet a thriving
place of 10000 people, playing some
thing like the role of Chicago to.
Constantinople's New York, writes a
correspondent.
Approaching Kaisariyeh Of morning,
one sees it haloed by haze of light
blue smoke. 1t rises from the fumes
from the charcoal braziers, which are
set out on the roofs until they are we'll
alight, for these first fumes from the
slowly burning charcoal, odorless and
scarcely visible, are fatal in the in
closed air of a room. Later the clear
sunlight bathes the housetops and the
towering form of Mount Argaeus rises
like snow-capped sentinel behind the
city. Lie oIicclS hlo Luli VI d hIoliey

At sunrise, noon and sunset, the
boom of a single cannon thuds out
from the roof of the old palace. This

Japan Is Exporting Pulp.

Japanese imports Of pulp have en-
countered obstacles, but, according ia
the Japan Chronicle, it is believed that
the stocks held by paper manufacture
ers generally are sufficient to last un-
til the end Of this year, while the do
nestle manufacture Of pulp, stimulated
by import difficulties, has appreciably
developed. AS a result, efforts are
now being made by some merchants
to export homemade pulp.
The Chronicle states that this is
not to be the disadvantage Of those
paper manufacturers who are suffer
ing from the scarcity of imported pulp,
for what they essentially want it not
yet producible in this country. 1t finds
that there Is no excessive domestic
pulp that Is exported.

the pulp and paper plant of the Odell
Manufacturing Company, but there
is room for more,
More than twenty Vermont famil-
les have moved to Groveton within
the last month. Although the mill
employees went out on a strike last
May, and the strike has never been
declared of" yet the mill is RUM
ing as usual, many of the former
employees have resumed work, and
enough new ones secured so that
about the same number are employed
as before the strike. But. owing to
the change in hours, the three eight
hour shift system having been in
augurated, more men are needed.
Those who have come here have
found conditions better than repre-.
sented; and are contented to stay.
Good positions, at good pay, await
the right men. There are also
chances for several intelligent girls.
On request we will give you the
names of some of the Vermont people
who have come here, and are now
working in the mill. perhaps some of
them from your own town, and you
can write direct to them and see
what they have to say about the

Write me or come and see me, and

ular novel of Mrs. Humphrey Wards,

and British nobleman. The elder
Of the girls designs to marry her sis
ter to some man of wealth, but she
weds poor army officer, who goes
to France after brief honeymoon,
where he is soon reported as missing.
The elder sister withholds this news
from her sister, in the hope that her
husband may die and that her sister
will marry the nobleman. The young
wife later learns the truth, however,
and when her husband strays back to
the British lines, his health wrecked
and mind gone, she rejoins him and
succeeds in restoring both health and
memory, by the aid of love song
that they were wont to sing in their
courting days. The story is highly
dramatic, the action strong and rapid
and there are many situations filled
with distinct thrill and heart appeal.
