After all the officials of the world's fair had reconciled themselves to the idea of petting along without the tall tower at the expos'tion Engineer George 8. Morison surprised them by presents Inpr plans for a. steel shaft nearly one hundred feet higher than the Eiffel tow'er. Mr. M orison's tower, on paper. Is nearly cloven hundred feet high. It is a plain Ktructure ami could be erected rapidly. Engineer Morison is to in terest eastern capitalists in his plans. Several large steel companies will be given a ehnuce to review the drawings and, if they decide that it can lie put up in time, ofileers ttf the fair limy find space at Jackson park, or near the park, lor the tower. The estimated cost of the structure is one million dol lars. Most of the other proposed towers could not be built for less than two million dollars. Their enormous cost was the chief obstacle in the way of their construction. "Mr. Morison'B tower," IVsigner-in-Chief Atwood said, "could bo erected within a few weeks after the material was delivered on the grounds. Mr. Mor rison thinks it could be put up in six weeks, but that estimate of time is a lit tie too low. It is a simple sli ucture.aud the material is so shaped that it could lind a ready m1-'-' t,v the exposition." ART GATHERINGS. Two TiiorsANu women became artists In the year ism.

Mow the Finny Tribe Is Propagated and IHstributed Millions of Little Flshee Jjuiualljr Liberated In Our t.atere. Two and a half millions of yearling fishes were planted last year, says tha Washington Star, in the waters of the United States by the flr,h commission. This statement b more remarkable than it may seem. Up to 1883, all the fishes artificially hatched by the government I were turned into the rivers and lake3 to j shift for themselves, as soon as they i were out of the eggs. Consequently nearly all of them were devoured, and ' out of every thousand young fry but f c w were ccpected to survive aud reach maturity. Five years a;ro l ib it experi ment was made with tho planting of 13,000 "fingerlings,"that is, i . les which had attained a season's growtu. Before long all the fishes artificially propagated for planting in this country will be allowed to get a year's growth before they are let loose. It has been found that one acre of water will accom modate 800.000 fry from the time they are hatched to tho condition of finger lings. Under such circumstances 50 per cent, of the baby fishes survive the sea son, at the end of which they are able to take care of themselves and have passed the danger point. In other words, when permitted to escape and look out for themselves in the streams or elsewhere, they mostly escape destruction and reach mature fishhood. Pretty soon this plan will be exclu sively pursued in the propagation of shad for stocking the rivers. Con veniently near to each stream will be established suitable ponds. The fish commission will simply hatch out the fry and send them immediately to these preserves, where they will be permitted to grow to a finger's length before they . are let go. Fishes only grow during the warm season, so at the end of four months, when hatched in spring, they are yearlings in size. A pond 100 acres in extent will accommodate 50,000,000 of shad fry, and at the end of 120 days com munication with the river can be opened and 25,000,000 little fishes will swim merrily away, to return in future years of a remarkable size. Unlimited quantities of shad eggs are always obtainable in the season, and an many millions of them can be hatched in glos3 jars as ore desired. Thus the result to be secured by artificial culture in any river is only limited by the pond area used. A majority of the finger lings let go will certainly live to grow up and swell the schools which annual ly visit the streams for spawning. Ex actly the same proposition applies to other kinds of fishes. The fish commis sion is at present rearing trout and sal mon on a like principle and with simi lar results. A large pond is now being prepared at Gloucester, Mass,, for stock ing with newly hatched codfish which will be put into the sea as yearlings. In this way it is hoped that the catch of this valuable food fish along the New England coast will be greatly increased after awhile. The same method would be tried with lobsters, but for the fact that these pugnacious crustaceans cannot be male to grow up together peaeenbly. You put a dozen newly-hatched specimens into an aquarium, and within a few days there will bo only one a large, fat and promising youngster. He has eaten all th6 rest. Therefore, baby lobsters have to be let loose in the ocean when they are just out of tho egg, and in this p an not much profit is found, because they are quickly gobbled by fishes. Tho fish commission is hatch ing 5,000,000 of young lobsters yearly. Once upon a tiiue, not many years ago. 25-pound lobsters were not infrequently captured, and there is record of 40 pound specimens, but such giants arc no longer seen, because they do not have a chance to get very big before they are taken by the fishermen. One of tho most profitable branches of the fish commission's work consist.', in stocking the streams, ponds and lakes all over tho west with the native fishes of the Mississippi valley. They are taken in great quantities in puddles big and small, where they are left by the retreating waters after the floods, and aro shipped alive to various part: of the union. Thus black bass, rock bass, pike, perch, crappies, spotted catfish and other species are being dis tributed throughout the United States very plentifully. Trout of six kind:, have recentlv been introduced success fully to the Yellowstone park region r, territory as big as the state of Rhode Island, which has hitherto been prac tically bare of fish. THE STATES AND THE FAIR. A one-iutndukii-ykab-oi.d bearing orange tree, from San (iabriel, is one of the exhibits nnnonnced from Cali ifornia. The Washington state world's fair building will be constructed in sections at Taeoma and sent to Chicago next September. New IIamprhiue, which claims to bo the "Switzerland of America," has ap propriately planned to erect o Swiss chalet for their world's fair building. Wisconsin will have a .I0,000 build ing at the fair. Huilding material to the value of (111,000 has been donated, and the contract for erection has been let for t 7,000.

How a Good Quality of Paper Is Made In Scotland. Some of the paper products from oat refuse, according to the method pursued in Scotland, are by no means deficient in the qualities of 6tren!rth and service ablencss that characterize the product of other materials used for this pur pose. The process consists in first im mersing the oat husks in a tank of water, in order to float off mustard and 1 other seeds with which they are fre quently more or less mixed, and which, if not separated, materially deteriorate the quality of the paper; it is of ad- , vantage, too, to have the water very thoroughly stirred, as this facilitates ' the separation of the foreign seeds, and allows them to float to the surface. The oat husks having gradually settled, the , surface scum and any floating matters are drawn off by an overflow pipe at j the top of the tank, or skimmed off by I any convenient implement, after which the water is well drained oft by a waste water pipe at the bottom of the tank and beneath n perforated false bottom, or fitted with a Btrainer which retains the husks. The husks may be left to steep In the water five to ten hours after removing the scum, as this, by soften ing, helps to loosen the silica from the fiber and facilitates the subsequent boil ing process. N. Y. Sun. Novel Danger Signal. The Irish hero, Fingal, had the fe licity to be under his own thumb, that member serving as a danger signal, aching in a peculiar way when trouble impended, when he had only to put it into his mouth to become immediately instructed how to overcome the difficul ty of the hour. So,by the pricking of her thumbs, telling her "something wicked this way comes," did the weird sister know of Macbeth's approach before her ears caught his footfall. Chicago Mail. NOTED PROGRESS. England uses paper barrels. CnBONOGBAPns are now being made that are capable of measuring to the ten-thousandth part o.a second. Chicago skaters are to have a skating rink with real ice to glide over all the year round. The ice is to be made arti ficially and the surface renewed every night. The temperature of the room will be about forty degrees, winter and Slimmer. A bkcent invention is a buoyant life saving seat for ships. It is intended for a deck seat, the upper and lower parts being made of buoyant material, so that, if thrown into the water, the apparatus will support several persons comfortably. A tkavei.eb's pipe is an English in vention. The bowl has a hook attached to it which can be inserted in the but tonhole of the coat, while a tube com municates with the mouthpiece. The smoker thus has both hands free to be occupied as he finds necessary. WHAT THEY THINK. Miss Jean Dalbymple, the palmist, said in a recent lecture in London that "tho thumb reveals the nature of the man." Peof. Colin, of Cornell, told his stu dents the other day that the man who sells his vote for money is more to be respected than the man who stays away from the polls and does not vote at. all. A great beekeeper of Hampshire, Eng., declares that bees do not succeed to any extent in the storing of honey whenever thore are wars and dissensions iu Europe, whether her majesty's troops are engaged or not. Mbs. Uumphby Wakd having been invited to make one of a symposium on the question: "What Kind tf a Man Does a Woman Prefer?" has given it as her opinion that the woman's man should know how t box. ALL SORTS AND CONDITIONS. In some part or other of tho world, horses, cattle and sheep are found wild, but nowhere can be found wild camels. The largest shipment of apples ever made from the United States left Port land recently for England, The cargo consisted of 13,000 barrels. The largest lions arc about eight feet in length and nearly five feet in height and are found in Africa. The lions found in Asia are smaller and have not the long mane of the African lion. A tacking paper impermeable to water can be made as follows: Take unsized paper and coat it with an aqueous solution of dextrine. When dry apply a layer of siccative oil paint. The new regulations of the Suez canal have necessitated tho building of vessels for carrying oil in bulk. A syn dicate has been formed for this purpose and the type of steamer differs mate rially from anything thus far afloat. Mb. Fobd H.

In peace it is In France, 550; in Germany 544 officers and men. A French officer has perfected a rifle which will throw a stream of vitriol a distance of, say one hundred feet, and has submitted it to the war otlice. In preparation for the next siege of Paris the French war department has taken steps toward the construction of an immense establishment iu ihe city for the preservation of un at by freez ing. Tbe adoption of smokeless powder has rendered necessary a modification of the uniform and accoutrements of an army in order thut the men may not be so readily distinguished at a distance. In 1S'J.', when the French fleet shall have been finished, the naval strength of that government will includes iron clads, !! cruisers, 13 torpedo boats of the largest size, and 204 other torpedo bouts, besides a large number of armor plutc 1 coast guard vessels and others o l..ss ImDortance.
