no need for it and we thought we

RICH HARVEST FROM THE SEA
One Acre Of Salt Water Capable OF
Producing an Almost Incredible
Amount Of Food.

North sea fishermen handle ten
thousand million fishes of all sorts
and sizes, from the giant ray to the
tiny whiting, every year. The twin
ports of Yarmouth and LOwestoft have
alone received nine hundred million
behring's in one season.
One acre of the North sea, or the
English channel is capable Of yielding
as great weight of food as a hun
bred acres of the. best grass land in
Sussex.
There has been quite run on fowl
farms lately, but when we consider
that the cod produces eight million
eggs, the domestic fowl has to take
back seat. 1t is estimated, however.
that only one egg In ten millions lives
to ''grow up"
Salmon produce thousand eggs
for every pound of their weight, and
though the canning factories of west
ern Canada and the United States are
working hard all the time to supply
the worlds demands, the fish still run
up the rivers in hundreds of thou
sands.

Watch Long Under Ground.

An interesting find has been made
In Kings Park, Edinburgh. While
workmen were engaged recently in cut
ting the channel for the electric cable
from Portobello power station, near
st. Margaret's well, in the Kings park,
one of their number unearthed a large
gold watch which has turned out of
exceptional interest. The watch was
handed over to the police, and
investigation by experts has proved
that 1t was made in the year 1777 or
1878. The face has been slightly dam
aged, but considering the great length
of time which has elapsed, the time
piece Is In remarkable state of pres
ervation. Some of the metal wheels
are rusty. but all the gold parts are
quite bright. A scrutiny Of the police
records for the past 80 years failed
to find any information relating to a
lost or stolen watch answering to the
description. The number on the watch
is 3147, and the makers name is de-
scribed by the initials c. NJ.

COLORADO SNOW STORM

Mountains in Colorado tonight were

by District Forecaster Fred W. Brist
to have been the heaviest this winter
was accompanied by relatively high
temperatures and consequent absence
of suffering either among the popula.
ton or livestock.
Street car traffic was virtually nor.

in the outlying sections Of the city
were still impossible to vehicles. Re.

time along the trail. And an hour be-
fore sunset he passed the only human
habitation between the marsh and
Lemons house-the cabin that had
been recently occupied by Landy Hill
dreth.
He glanced at the place as he
passed and saw that It was deserted.
No smell of wood smoke remained in

and then abruptly died; and the only
sound was rustling Of leaves as the

then hurried on.
She was afraid to listen at first. She
wanted to believe that her pistol fire
