SENSE OF HEARING IN FISH
Angler Tests Theory That They Are
Frightened by Sounds on Banks
of Stream.
I have long thouglst thnt fish under
water cannot hear boiuuIr which tnke
place above It. I hnvo born fishing
with n gentleman who did not llko to
speak for fear tlm trout would hoar
him. I ridiculed tlio Idea mid until:
"Let us fish away nnd tullt us loudly
as we ran for a while, then let ns fish
nnd hold our tongues for another
while anil see If there is any differ
ence In tho rising of the trout to the
fly." There was not the slightest dif
ference. Among all tho anglers of wy no
'qualntance I can only rail tn mind
this one who held tho idea thnt sound
above water frightened fish under It.
The firing of big guns from forts has
been alluded to, but generally In these
cbbpb a ball goes hopping along or n
f hell bursts and causes a movement In
the' water. From tho fort at Klsole
they Are toward the harbor's mouth,
an I have seen many timos when in
our yacht nt anchor In tho hnrbor.
We were told thnt tho locality where
the halls strike wns quite deserted by
the fish, but in other parts of the bar
1or the fishing wns not affected.
Small narrow streams In Ireland
often hold trout, and one day miner

In the nandon river I sow trout ris

Find Treasure Trove.
A great find of treasure has been
made at Alcazabn, in Spain. Several
centuries ago a castle was built tc
defend the town against the Moorish
invaders. It was built on tho top of
a hill and recent earth excavations In
those parts have caused the old castle
to collapse, and have also destroyed
several neighboring edifices. Iast
month the tower fell, some of tho fall
ing stones killed two of the occupants
and injured seven others. Thereupon
the authorities decided to demolish
the castle, nnd during exenvations In
the deep dungeons a number of skele
tons, evidently prisoners who had died
In Jail, were brought to light. Twc
iron chests were also unearthed, and
when opened they were found to be
full of old Spanish and Portuguese
gold and silver coins. At the bottom
of tho chests were a number of gold
and silver bars. The whole is esti
mated to be worth oved $150,000. Half
of this treasure trove will go to the
government, and the other half to the
workmen wbo discovered it.
A Drawing From Memory.
Everybody knows of the extraor
dinary talent of several of the Emmet
girls for painting and drawing. Jane
Erin Emmet, who married Vohn Glenn,
the London painter, can do a speaking
crayon drawing of anybody In less
time than it takes to tell It, Once In
London she met a young man in the
street and never saw him again. Some
years nfterward his mother came to
her in grief and despair. The young
man had died suddenly, and there was
no portrait, photograph or other like
nes of him to console the family. Jane
Emmet did a crayon of him from the
memory, of that chance meeting in the
street and it ls prized by his family be
rond all their other possessions.
When They Go Out to Dine.
"Did you ever notice the difference
between a man's dinner and a wom
an's?" asked the observer. "A man
takes you out to dinner. He orders
a steak or roast beef, spaghetti, pota
toes in some style, sliced tomatoes and
pie or pudding. A woman gets sweet
breads, artichokes, truffles, mush
rooms or some other expensive deli
cacy, lettuce or apple salad and the
fanciest kind of ice cream dessert.
A man never thinks of having any
thing but good solid food, while a
woman must have something different,
and it usually takes the form of high
priced, non-nutritious dishes. If they
are out of season, so much the better.

COLONEL GEORGE HARVEY SAYS
COUNTRY ALL RIGHT.
IKE WRITER SEES NO DLOUD
Striking Article In North American
Review That Is Attracting Wide
Attention.
The attention of business nnd pro
fessional men In all portions of the
country has been attracted In a strik
ingly strong article by Col. . George
Harvey in tho September Issue of the
North American Review In which the
writer takes a view of the greatest
hopefulness for tho future of America
nnd Americans. Tho article Is en
titled "A Tien for the Conservation of
Common Sense," and It is meeting
with the cordial approval of business
men of nil tdindes of political opinion
throughout tho entire country, lu
part, Colonel Harvey says:
"Unquestionably a spirit of unrest
dominates the land. Hut, If It be
true that fundamentally the condition
of the country ls sound, must wo
necessarily succumb to despondency,
abandon effort looking to relrlevnl
and cringe like cravens before clouds
that only threaten? Hnther ought
we not to analyze conditions, search
for causes, find tho root of tho dis
tress, which even now exists only In
men's minds, nnd (hen, nfter tho
American fashion, apply such rem
edies as seems most likely to produce
beneficent results?
Capital and Labor Not Antagonistic.
"Tile Milk thnt connects lllbor with
I stronger than ever before in Its his
tory. Recovery from a panic so
severe as thnt of three years ago was
never before so prompt nnd compara
tively complete. The musses are
practlcnlly free from debt. Money Is
held by the banks In abundance nnd
rates are low.
"Why, then, does capital pauso
upon the threshold of investment?
The answer, we believe, to bo plnln.
It awaits adjustment of the relntions
of govcrnhicnt to business. The
sole problem consists of determining
how government enn maintain an
even balance between nggregntions
of interests, on the one hand, nnd the
whole people, on the other, protect
ing the latter agnlnst extortion and
saving the former from mnd assaults.
'"The solution Is not easy to find
for the simple reason that the situ
ation Is without precedent. Dut Is
not progress being made along Bane
and cautious lines?
Conserve Common Sense.
"Is not the present, as wo have
seen, exceptionally secure? What,
then, of preparations for the future?
Patriotism Is the basis of our insti
tutions. And patriotism In tho minds
of our youth ls no longer linked Bololy
with fireworks and doeds of daring. It
ib taught in our schools. A new
course haB been added a course in
loyalty. Methodically, our children
learn how to vote, how to conduct
primaries, conventions and elections,
how to discriminate between qualifica
tions of candidates and, finally, how
to govern as well as serve. They are
taught to despise hrlbery and all
forma of corruption and fraud as
treason. Their creed, which they are
made to know by heart, Is not com
plex. It is simple, but comprehen
sive, no less beautiful in diction than
lofty in aspiration. These are the
pledges which are graven upon their
memories:
"As it Is cowardly for a soldier to
run away from battle, so It is coward
ly for any citizen not to contribute
his share to the well-being of his
country. America ls my own dear
load; she nourishes mo, and I will
love her and do my duty to her,
whose child, servant and civil soldier
I am.
"As the health and, happiness of
my body depend upon each muscle
and nerve and drop of blood doing
its work In Its place, so the health
and happiness of my country depend
upon each citizen doing his work in
his place.
"These young citizens are our
hostages to fortune. Can, we not
safely assume that the principles ani
mating their lives augur well for the
permanency of the Republic? When
before have the foundation stones
of continuance been laid with such
care and promise of durability?
"The future, then, Is bright And
the present? But one thing is need
ful. No present movement Is more
laudable than that which looks to
conservation of natural resources.
But let us never forget that the great
est inherent resource of the Amer
ican people is Common Sense. Let
that be conserved and applied with
out cessation, and Boon it will be
found that all the ills of which we
complain but know not of are only
such as attend upon the growing
pains of a great and blessed country.

Destructive Little Pests Due- to Ar
rive Again Next Spring, Ento
" mologlsts Declare How
War May Do Waged.
Ynshlngtnn. That the seventeen-
year locust Is due to appear by next
spring Is the announcement recently
mndo by entomologists who hnvo kept
trnck of the little pests' visits, and
while heretofore measures against a
lociiBt Invasion have proved futile,
there Is a possibility that the plan of
tho Chemlcnl-Agrarinn Institute of
Goerz, Austria, to reduce their num
bers mny bo of benefit here, not only
in the enso of the seventcen-yenr lo
cust, but of the nnmiiil supply of
grasshoppers. Vice Consul do 'Mar
tini nt Trieste, In describing these
measures, snys:
Under the guidance pf their mas
ters tho boys of all the communes of
tho province of Goerz were trained to
Intercept the march and capture the
locusts In their Invasion of that agri
cultural district In lflOO. Exact sta
tistics have Just been published, giv
ing interesting particulars which may
prove useful to other agrarian fields,
even In tho United Slates.
Tho official report describes the
method used to combat the pest and
shows tho results -of each commune,
the number of litres of locusts killed
and prizes awarded to each school,
and the number of dnys' work done
a day's work consisting of three hours
by each boy. The dnys of work nro
stated to have been 2G.845, during
which eleven railway wagon loads of
locusts were captured. The total
amount In prizes awarded to the boys
was 17,000 crowns ($n,451). Each boy
received 13 cents a day for three
hours, capturing on an average four
quarts of locusts each day. The total
expenditures were ns follows: Prizes
to boys, $3,451; implements and their
repair, $690l overseers, $40G; school
masters, $609; administration work,
$503; total, $5,6G4.
This work, due to proper organiza
tion of the schoolboys, shows what,
might be achieved by similar means
on a much more extensive scale to
wipe out this plague. If it is com
puted that each locust consumes dally
food to half the volume of Its body. It
follows that locusts thus captured
would have devoured sixty railway
wagon loads of hny (six tons to a
load), besides damaging cultivation.
Of the locusts captured, 400 made a
litre. The 109,000 litres gathered rep
resented, therefore, about 45,000,000
locusts, 30,000,000 of which were fe
males that would have laid 3,000,000,
000 eggs for a new generation.
The implements consisted of) col
lectors, Reservoirs and litre measures.
The collector Is a quadrangular frame
work of zinc wire, 11 inches on each
Bide and of the shnpe of a cone, 27
inches deep, covered with a linen bag.
On one side of the frame Is attached
a movable wooden handle forty-Beven
inches long. The two sides of the
frame that' touch the ground are cov
ered with .leather. These collectors,
when offered wholesale,, cost 4 cents
each. The collection or the capture
of the locusts ls effected by agitating
the collector to the right and left or
by dragging It forward along the
ground at n brisk pace. Every now
and then the collector must be sha
ken briskly to let the locusts gath
ered on It fall stunned to the bottom.
The reservoir Is simply an empty
petroleum tin box, In which a squnro
opening Is cut, closed by a tin door.
Whon the reservoir Is full the locusts
are destroyed by pouring boiling wa
ter Into it. The locusts die within
five to ten minutes nfter being scald
ed, when the reservoir Is emptied ajfl
tho dent! locusts are measured with
the lltro measure.
Locusts' may be turned from a pest
to a valuable food for fattening cat
tle, pigs and fowls.- For this purpose
the locusts, nfter being killed, are
spread 6n tho ground-nnd sprinkled
with a solution of kitchen salt and
wutor and dried tn tho sun. The hoys
keep turning the locusts over to dry
on both sides.!

Chicago. One of the most remark
nble Instances of , penurlousneas re
corded lii a court document camo to
light the other day, when a deputy
clerk of the superior court, engaged
In filing papers In a divorce suit, came
across the case of Mrs. Corrie Eliza
beth Ferman against Christian P. Fer
man. Here Is a sentence from the bill
which only explains the case, in part:
"The defendant was of such an
economical turn of mind that he at
times Insisted on wearing the under
wear of your oratrlx."
Judge Dupuy heard the suit and In
questioning Mrs. Ferman she said
that her husband- was so stingy that
he deprived" her and her young daugh
ter, Mertle, of sufficient food and
clothing.
The parties to the suit are well
known in certain South side circles.
Since the wife obtained her decree of
divorce she has married one of the
department managers In a large stock
yards packing concern, while' the de
fendant ex husband has betaken him
self to California.
One of the woman's chief distinc
tions is her beauty, and It Is said
that her husband, Jealous of ber
charms, concluded that the safest
plan to prevent her displaying them
was to deprive her of attractive cloth
ing and to subject her to menial oc
cupation In their home.
When Mrs. ' Ferman related her
story In court she said that her hus
band frequently pinched her, leaving
her arms black and blue for days at a
time. On some occasions he was so
stingy that he appropriated her fine
muslin underwear to save himself the
expense of buying garments for his
own use. She explained, too, that she

LOST CEMETERY IS LOCATED
Bones of Men Killed In War of 1812
Discovered on River Bank Near
Monroe, Mich.
Toledo, O. What is believed to be
a famous lost cemetery of the War of
1812 has been discovered along the
north bank of the River Roisin, just
cast of Monroe, Mich., by the contrac
tors engaged In excavating for the
mill of the River Roisin- Paper com
pany. As the work progresses piles of hu
man bones are uncovered, evidently
bodies that bad been burled In one
large grave; then will come a skele
ton of some white man, while a few
feet away the remains of an Indian
will be uncovered.
The other day the body, evidently
that of a soldier, was uncovered, with
the skull cleft, as If a tomahawk had
pierced the brain.
A large brass letter "C" was with
the, bones, showing that the wearer
was a member of C company. A short
distance away the skeleton of an In
dian squaw was uncovered.
This locality in the war of 1812 was
the scene of the battle and massacre
of tho River Roisin, when 4,000 Ameri
can troops, mostly Kentuckians, were
surprised by the English and Indians
and massacred.
The bodies were left where - they
had fallen, but were buried several
months later oy the old settlers In
one grave. The interment of the
bones was forgotten and those who
burled them passed away, so' that
none of the present generation knew
the location of the old cemetery.

PUZZLED
Hard Work, Sometimes, to Raise
Children.
Children's taste ls ofttlmes more ac

food to fit the body, than that of
adults. Nature works more accurate
ly through the children.
A Brooklyn lady says: "Our little
boy had long been troubled with
weak digestion. We could never per
suade him to take more than one taste
of any kind of cereal food. He was
a weak little chap and we were puz
zled to know what to feed him on.
"One lucky day we tried Grape
Nuts. Well, you never saw a child
eat with such a relish, and it did me
good to see him. From that day on
it seemed as though we could almost
see him grow. He would eat Grape
Nuts for breakfast and supper, and I
think be would have liked the food
for dinner.
"The difference In his appearance ls
something wonderful.
"My husband had never fancied ce
real foods of any kind, but be be

Grape-Nuts as an experiment and the
result was almost magical.
