 The counting is made possible by throwing a rack across the stream and compelling the fish to pass through a narrow gate, where they are easily wis ible to persons immediately above. Agents of the fisheries bureau in relays are kept on duty day and night for the entire period of the run. and the tally is kept by an automatic counting de- vice manipulated by hand.

Flowers and Blood.

4 superstition dating from olden times exists to the effect that roses and flowers generally attuin greater beauty in soil fertilized by blood. especially by human blood, than elsewhere. Persons who have visited Newmarket, England know of the so called "Gloody flower of Newmarket" which is found nowhere else than ln the old mOut. now filled up and in which. according to tradi- tion, a very large quantity of human re. mains is inferred. These flowers bloom in June and July and by the blUodlike hue of their blossoms suggest the name which has been given to them
