Fish Comfortable Under Ice.

BY the way, says a writer In the
Kansas City Star, the water never
gets colder than about 80 degrees, be-
low the ice. So no matter how colo
the day. and no matter how thick the
ice upon the stream or lake, the fishes
are enjoying a temperature OF about
80 degrees, and they move about In
the water and gather supplies very
well at that temperature. Through
the clear ice one may see fish with
their backs against it, where the tenn
perature must be 81 degrees, and II
YOU strike the ice Immediately above
them with the back of an AK, or a
sledge hammer, you win kill the fish.
The conclusion does the business and
the fish will turn up its white belly
against the ice. A dead fish floats
With its belly upward, always. Ii Is
common enough thing in some regions
for boys to kill fish through the ice,
and then to cut a hole and get them
out.

REALLY A Chameleon CITY
Barcelona Presents an Odd Mixture Of
the Past and Present-Once
Center CT Commerce.

Barcelona is the chameleon city Of
Spain. In some quarters of the city
the streets are narrower and more
crooked than those of old London,
while in others are avenues, boule-
wards, shops and cafes which vie with
those of Paris. The city has an aris-
tocracy which lives so far in the past
that it's scions still deplOre the dis
covery of America, according to a
bulletin of the National Geographic
society.
Until 1892 Barcelona was the New
York of the Mediterranean. Column
bus voyage was considered bit OF
impertinence on the part Of the Cas-
lillian government to upset the bal
ance of trade in favor Of cities in
western. and southern Spain. AS a
result a movement swept the Catalan
provinces, of which Barcelona is the
center, for annexation to France, the
revolt against Philip w in 1910 re-
sulting I'm the district giving itself
over to French protection.
Catalonia's old allegiance, however,
was renewed in 1862, four centuries
later the resentment ameliorating
