Pirate Perch Turns
Sunfsh Ouf of Nest

Sunflsh are troubled with what mrs
be called a marine cuckoo--thc pirate
perch. This fish, which is either too
lazy or else incapable of making u
nest of its own, waits until the sun
fish have completed their nest and
then turns them out, Installing itself
in their place. Its eggs are rrgluent.,
occupants. These, however, are not
disturbed and hatch out In due course,
says lhe Vancouver Province.
Perhaps the most interesting nest
found under water is that of the
black-nosed dace. The fish clears
space about two feet in diameter
and the female deposits layer
of eggs. Then layer OF stones
is gradually placed over the eggs
the stones being brought to the
nest In the mouth of the dace.
On these another layer of eggs is
placed and then comes another layer
Of stones. These alternate layers Of
eggs and stones are slowly built up
until the pile reaches n height of eight
inches or so.
The black goby forms home for Its
eggs like ball This is constructed
of pieces of weed interviewer and
bound together, the eggs being placed
inside As Is often the case, the male
builds the nest and, after the eggs
have been deposited, takes 1t In turn
to guard It.

brates Its Cutters feast, civic func.
ton that has been held annually since
1913, when the first Of the city's mas

Is attended by captains Of industry

least one minister Of the crown. Two
toasts that are always drunk with en-
thuslasm are: Eternal destruction to

Success to the Hallamshlre Whlttells."
This quaint wording Is explained by
the fact that the park Of Yorkshire

Money Troubles for

Nowhere It is said, is the money

as it Is In China. There every city Is
sues its own currency, which is pot
legal tender In any other city. Peklng
money is not good In Shanghai;
Shanghai dollars will not pass In
HOngkong; the Canton merchant re-
fuses your Hongkong pelf; and you
are forever running to the money
changers, who charge you big dis
count for turning the currency Of one
city into that OF another. Worse still,
there Is "blg money" ana little
money" both Of which you mus have,
and this Is a sort Of financial joke that
you never quite understand, says
Dorothy Dix, who has just completed
an extensive tour Of China.
For you can take 81, which Is big
money" and get It changed into "lit-
tie money" and have $1.1j or $L20. II

can pay for with the exact amount In
little money" the merchant will take
IT but II you buy an article costing,
say $1.25 or $l50, 10 will not take
back In part payment the little
money he has just given you.
Nowhere Is there so much counter
felt money as in China, and in no
other place is counterfeltlng so skill
fully done, Lead dollars that look ex-
actly like the real thing are as plenti-
full as blackberrles I'm summer and In
addition there are other dollars in
which the silver had been dug out
from the inside and the other surface
carefully restored 50 you have to be
careful to deal only with reputable
money changers, who stamp In black
or else nick every dollar they give you.
That IS their "chop," and It Is guar.
anty that their money Is the real

these taxes are not paid, the result
is a heavier tax burden upon those
owners of property who do pay.
"This is a phase of the question
which vitality concerns the average
taxpayer. Every dollar in taxes
unpaid by unproductive, cut-over
lands must be paid by the productive
lands, or governments cannot func-
ton. When in any country, a large
percentage of the land becomes de-
linquent, and in several of our
counties the percentage of delin-
quency runs as high as 10 percent,
Is percent, 20 percent and even
higher, the productive areas must
make up the deficit through the
taxes paid by their owners. Thus
results the unjust tax which every
one is paying directly or indirectly.
"To make a timber-growing pro-
gram IN these uut-over lands inter-
esting to owners, present or pro-
spective, the tax laws must be sc
amended as to postpone payment of
taxes OH nonproductive timber lands
until the timber crop IS harvested.
These lands have produced n Won
derful crop. They can be made to
produce another, but no owner is
going to pay taxes on nonproductive
land for decades or until the crop is
valuable, when he knows that har-
vest time will not come for 40, so
or 100 years, or in any event for
some years after his death. This
fact is recognized in the proposal
to be submitted to the voters at the
general election in Minnesota, to so
amend the constitution as to make
possible a tax law permitting pay
ment of the tax upon timber lands
when the crop reaches maturity, is
cut and marketed"
