 Chaplains Doherty and Rollins spoke enthusiastically of the altogether ad- mirable spirit of fraternity existing between those who are ministering to our soldiers. The Catholic chaplains, they say, are not merely looking to the good of the Catholic boys nor the Protestant to that of the Protestant boys; each is working for the best inc terest of every man.

hsn cannot Rival the Fish.

Information concerning the number of eggs produced by various species of fish has been limited mainly to rather rough estimates. According tO the All gemeine FiScheTsi.Xeitung. some care fW( counts were made last year at the HRvRTtan trout hatchery. The first in, vNGtlSations were In connection with common trout and rainbow trout; IS specimens of the former and 54 of the latter were stripped and the spawn counted. The older and heavier fish were found to have the most eggs (ranging up to about 3,OO0), but the younger fish yielded 8 decidedly larg. CT number of eggs in proportion to the weight of the fish. The experiments were repeated with perch (Perca auviatilisl, in this case the females just about to spawn being killed and the Ovaries being removed and dis. sected. Fhe number of eggs In perch ranged from 9,71O for fish four Inches long up to 3O.4S0 for one 1O.2 inches long; but in this species, also. the number of eggs per unit weight of fish is much larger in small than In large fish.-Scientifc American.

Forestry After the War.

Nobody except those of us who have seen something of life at the front during the last four years can realize what an enormous quantity of timber has been taken from this country for war purposes and what an enormous amount of planting and tending of trees will be necessary to replace it. Unfortunately fOresters who really un- derstand all that afforestation means are not numerous in England, and though the necessity of educating youngsters for the work has received much more serious attention in the last few years than 1t ever did before. when our methOds-as in many other things-were haphazard, the facilities are still hardly sufficient to give us enough fOresters to cope with the de- mand.-Westminster Gazette.

The unexpected.

An amazing instance of the unex- pected happening at the front ended in French and a German pilot landing together. The French man and the German were circling and dipping for battle position. Suddenly, the French pilot. think ing he had the advantage, charged his enemy from the rear. But the German did not swerve sufficiently and the left wing of the French machine, struck the right-hand struts of the German. The collision caused the French airplane to spin around violently until its tail whizzed between the wings of the German and stuck. Apparently being too busy or perhaps too astonished-tO shoot at each other, the opponents Spiraled side by side in a close embrace, ulti- mately crashing into the bou%hS of some trees. Neither pilot was hurt, so they clambered out. looking at each Other-and the German was reminded that he was a prisoner.

GERMAN VIEW OF CHRISTIANITY

Read this by Friedrich Wilhelm iMetxsche and then think of the women and children whose blood was spilled In invaded Belgium and France and of the Lusitania:
 ''I condemn Christianity. To me 1t ts the greatest of all possible corrup- lions. The church is the great para site; with it's anemic idea of holiness It drains life of all it's strength it's love, and it's hope. I call Christianity the one great curse the one great intrinsic depravity, the one great instinct of revenge, for which no exredient is sufficiently poisonous, secret, underhand to gain it's ends. call it the one immortal shame and blenisl. upon the human race"

 And the six sons of the arch Hun? Where are they when danger calls? They are brilliantly placed ''in com mand" and then disappear from the public eye only to reappear at some safe vantage point or in revolting escapade with victims of invaded countries. Only one of them, the Crown Prince, has ever been re- ported in a battle and then hedged about so that no harm could come to him.
 For all his dashing about the Kai- ser himself has stayed far from the danger zone. This self-styied cQ= partner with God takes care to sur= round himself with his legiOns, his air planes and every other known de- vice to protect him from his enemtc i whenever he invokes the Divine protection in the open field.
 Just one of the imperial family have the dispatches said anything fine about, Duke Ernest August 0t Brunswick who married the Kaiser's only daughter. He is reported to have commanded some troops on the Russian front and gone insane over the horrors he saw there.

There has, says the Board of Trade Journal" been much discussion in the German press during recent weeks con cerning wood pulp fiber named Gel lulOn," for which large claims are made as an efficient substitute for jute cotton and other fibers. It appears to be certain that the fiber Is not made by spinning long strips of paper run off reels through water in the manner which German paper textile substi. tutes have made familiar. The &C., counts agree in describing the proc ess, or processes, as a direct manu. fracture from wood pulp.

Proper Breathing HeIp tO Swim

 AnyOne's body will float when the lungs are filled with air. but as a hu- man body is a trifie heavier than wa ter it will sink unless buoyed up by air In the lungs, says Dan Beard in Boys Life. Consequently if you learn to breathe so that you blow out your breath in time to intake a new breath before you sink, 1t Is evident that you will not sink at all. When breathing while swimming do not take too many breaths, but let your mouth serve as the intake. It can do 1t quicker than your nose because your mouth Is big ger than your nostrils or nose holes.
 Now if any of you tenderfeet drown this season 1t will be your own fault Breathe right and you will float.
