Gainesville Register: After years of
agitation on the part Of The Register
and other papers, and citizens Of Gaines
vile, the project of a bridge over Red
river north Of the city was finally con
ceived and consummatcd through the
enterprise and public spirit of a number
or Gainesville men. OF course the build
Ing of this structure was an investment
on the part of the men forming the
bridge company, and by and bye they
may receive adequate returns on their
money, but that day is no doubt far in
the future. However. there is another
and greater incentive which really made
this bridge a possibility. These men had

Chinese Use Hens to Help
 in Matching Fish Spawn

The Chinese have novel way of propagating fish. The spawn is care fully collected from the surface of the water, and when a sufficient quantity has been obtained they take q number of hens eggs, the contents of which have been carefully emptied through a small aperture, and refill the shells with spawns. The holes are sealed up and the eggs put under the broody hens. The hens are allowed to incu- bate the eggs for certain number of days, when the eggs are again broken and their contents put into water that has been previously warmed by the sun. In very short time the spawn matches, and the young fry are then kept in pure fresh water until a suffi- cient size to be put into the ponds. At one time considerable business was done in this style of spawn hatching.

Africans Always Eager to
 Don Discarded Emery Cast Off by NotabIes of London

There is a clothes dealer in Lon don who for a long time has made it his specially to purchase shOwy cos tunes and discarded uniforms for dis posal in the Orient and Africa. , It is said that even the retiring lord mayors of London have become this dealers customers. and that the cooked hat, gold laced coat and knee brooches that have formed an inspir- ing feature of the lord mayors pro- sessions are, as like as not, the next year to delight the eyes of darkest Africa upon the proud person of some native.
 Amusing comments have been made by this dealer with reference to the eagerness with which the native in the interior of Africa takes over this discarded ffnery. He says that at the bazaars where his goods are pur- chased he has seen blacks solemnly walking around with waistcOats but toned behind instead of before, and men even wearing women's costumes Big fellows have been seen in clothes so small that one could not imagine how they got into them nor how they could get out unless the stitching gave way.
 It is related that the Prince de JOin- vile, when off the Gaboon coast, once received on his ship an official visit from two chiefs, father and son, who must have been customers of the Lon don dealer. Each owned for ceEemo- nial purposes military uniform
 That of the father was an English generals, while that of the son was hussar's. The intricate cut of the sons uniform. with it's numerous but tons, straps and buckles together with the painfully small size, proved too much for him. He sent the prince a despairing message implgring help and a relief party of delighted midshipnen was sent to dress him and to bring him aboard. -. 1J

MEN OF SCIENCE PuzzLED
Find lt Hara so Account for the Erratic Movements of Deep
 Water Fish.

The cratic movements of fish are constant source of worry to sscien- lists, who, try as they will, can never account for the vagaries of these sea- dwellers. Here Is a case in point: In May, 1879. the fishing schooner Hutch ings, sailing from Gloucester, Mass. was under the command of Captain Kirby, trawling for cod off Nantucket. A strange fish came up in the nets, a large creature covered with yellow sporA The men caught over two tons and brought them to land, where. they were found to be an entirely new fam- fly. Scientists named them title Lsh.- for three years. till 1882. the fish were caught in huge numbers, then the bankers" reported that they were no longer f6 be seen. The news came that the sea was covered with dead tile fish. Six thousand square miles of sea were almost hidden by the dead bodies. Antiquities said that there must have been a volcanic disturbance or else some deadly disease had killed off the fish. In 1915 schooner working in the same waters caught the tile fish in abundance, and to this day the fish are there in millions.

Pretty, old-faslliOned patterns in printed cottons have come back. The voiles and crepes of today, which are now on display in the shops, and have been for some time foreshadowing midsummer, remind one Of the lawns and challies and the popular calico of long ago. in their colorings. They are softer and more sheer than their pred ecessOrs and the resemblance is not in texture, but in the printed patterns. that make these inexpensive dress ma terials interesting The prices on cottpns appear to be settling to some thing like normal again.
