carps were planted in the streams
which intersect some of the marshes
of the West, famous as the haunts
of wild ducks.
Western man an examination of the
stomachs of the carps has revealed
the fact that they were gorged with
the roots and seeds of the wild rice,
which was the food that formerly
rendered the marshes so attractive to
fowl. The disappearance of the rice
led to an investigation of the causes,
with the result stated. The fact that
the carps fed upon the roots of the
plants as well as the seeds, precludes
the hopes of any renewal of the
growth. As a foil to this pessimistic
statement, there has rarely beon a
season when aquatic plants have
shown such abundant growth on
many of the smaller bays of Long Is.
Jand, as this one. The duck shootin
on these waters is now most excel
lent, and promises to become better
with each succeeding week.
Ax extraordin statement was
recently made in the Public Aigus
of Philadelphia to the effect that

aid of six boys and several bird dogs,
it is asserted, socured as many as
10,000 eggs in one section of the
Btate. This is hardly credible, and

{ the fact that in almost all the States

tions were recently carried out in con-
nection with the repairing of Ten-
nant’s stack. A local steeplejack of
note, who has kept the two chimneys
in repair for the past twenty-five
years mounted to the top of the
| stack, adopting a different method
from that used by him about two
years sgo, when he climbed the stack
at Port Dundas. On that occasion
he mounted by means of kite-fiying,
which enabled the necessary ropes
' for the ascent being thrown over the
top of the chimney
On the present occasion he adopt.
|ed a handier, and, on the whole, a
| safer plan. his is known as the
| ladder process, and is much in vogue
among contractors for chimney re-
| pairing. The occasion was the first
| time the method has been used for a
| chimney of so great a height and
| when fully erected the adder was the
| highest in the world. The first sec.
| tion was planted against the chimney
and nailed securely by hooked iron
| pins eighteen inches long and an inch
| thick. Section after section each
{ eighteen feet long was then hoisted
| up, and after being lashed together,
was fastened in the same manner to
the chimney-=the difficult work, as
will be readily understood, requiring
great care and attention. The ladders
used were of yellow pine, and of the
lightest possible make, with flat steps
an inch by an inch and a hall broad.
One advantage of this process is that
the work of repairing does not, as in
the case of a kite, require to wait for
a favorable wind, but can be begun at
any time, and the preliminary opera-
tions thus over, it is simply a matter
of climbing a ladder.—{ Westminster
