FISH AS A FOOD
ORDEAL OF GRAMMAR.
Not Nearly Enough of It It Used In
Thio Country.
How It Camo to Bo Inflicted Upon an
Unoffending Public.
The world reached its highest known
stage of intelligence liefore grammar
was even invented, much less studied.
I have had some curiosity to find out
where and bow so great a blight upon
young life first came into l>eirig and
why it ever liecame a school study,
and I find that the Greeks knew It
not; that their triumphant literature
and their matchless oratory came to
flower l>efore grammar was dreamed
of; that it was not in any sense one
of the great arts which they wrought
out and with which they armed the
human race.
I find that after Greece bad declined
a barbarous Macedonian made himself
the owner of all Egypt, and in order to
surround himself with the most spec
tacular form of ostentation of which
his vain mind could conceive he set to
collecting not only all the rare and
precious objects aud tlooks and manu
scripts there were In the world, but he
capped it all by making a collection ot
the living men of the world who had
any reputation anywhere for knowing
and thinking. Taking them from tbelr
homes where they bud some relation
to the daily nei-essitles of human be
ings and had really been of some use,
he shut them up for life in one of his
palaces at Alexandria, which the folks
there were in the habit of calling “the
hencoop of the muses,” and out of
sheer desperation, since they could do
nothing better to amuse themselves,
they countetl the words In the books
which real men had written and pre
pared tables of the forms and endings
which the users of words employed.
The lifeless dregs of books which
their distilling left we now call gram
mar and study Instead of books and
eve? speech itself. In their lowest
depth of Indifference to the moving,
pulsing life of man not even the Alex
andrians sank so low as that.—Ernest
C. Moore In Yale Review.
The average American eats twenty
pounds of fish a year. Tills includes
oysters, ciains, crabs, lobster, shrimp
aud mussels. Oue dietary authority
states, according to Leslie's Weekly,
that 200 miles inland from our three
coasts the consumption of fish food per
jierson is less than a half pound annu
ally.
Each inhabitant of the British isles
has fish on bls bill of fare to the ex
tent of 100 pounds every twelve
months, while the fish consumption per
capita in Germany is 120 pounds; HoL
lan<l, 130 pounds; Norway, Sweden and
Denmark, 150 pounds; China, 225
pounds, and Japan, nearly 500 pounds.
Latin Americans are the only people
who eat less fish than du the Inhabit
ants of the United States.
There is absolutely no sane argument
against the larger and more extensive
use of fish as a daily diet throughout
the length and breadth of this land. It
is Ideal as a food. It is highly nutri
tious and rich in proteins. It Is must
easily digested. It contains in great
abundance the chemical ingredients for
making bone, muscle and tissue. As a
f«x>d nothing detrimental can ¡losslbly
tie said against it. Fish, with the excep
tion of a few species, are cleun feeders.

GROUND MOLES VALUABLE.
Tha Only Real Damage They Do Is
When They Invade the Lawn.
From an examination of the stomach
contents of 200 moles taken in all
months of the year it was found by the
bureau of biological survey of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
that earthworms and white grubs con
stitute the bulk of the f od. Beetles
aud ttielr larvae and other Insects that
enter the ground, spiders, centipedes,
cocoons and puparia also form a part
of the diet. In one stomach were found
the remains of 171 small white grubs,
In another 250 ant puparia, in another
ten cutworms and in another twelve
earthworms.
The presence of starchy material in
some of the stomachs is proof that the
mole occasionally finds vegetable food,
as certain seed grains softened by con
tact with the moist soil, an acceptable
addition to Its worm and insect diet.
Beed coats of corn, wheat, oats and
peanuts have been identified tn a few
stomachs.
Judgment against the mole may be
rendered when It actually invades the
lawn—the overt act—but no general
warfare against an Insect eating mam
mal should be encouraged.

The Strangest of Them All Ara the
Two In Bologna.
Italy is a land of many leauing tow
ers. but the tower of Pisa is the
best knowu. The strangest of the lean
ing lowers, however, are the Torre
Asinelli and tlie Torre Garisenda in
Bologna, which were erected A. D.
1109 and 1110. The builders intended
them for fortified homes, of which Bo
logna at one time possessed as many
as 200. The gloomy, smooth walled
brick towers standing side by side
make a strange lmpressiou U[s>n the
person who looks up at them from the
ground.
The Torre Asinelli is 320 feet high
and contains a rough staircase of 447
steps. From the summit, which is four
feet out of plumb with the base, one
has a flue view of the city. The slant
is unintentional and was probably
caused by the sinking of the founda
tions. Torre Garisenda is 163 feet high
—sixteen feet lower than the leaning
Tower of Pisa—and Is ten feet out of
plumb—only three feet less than the
Tower of Pisa.
When Ottone Garisenda began to
build. A. D. 1110. he apparently wanted
bls bouse to surpass his neighbor Asl-
uelll’s In oddity, and so he intention
ally made his tower out of the perpen
dicular. He fi.und It Impossible, how
ever, to complete the tower at that
angle and bad to cease work,—London

PREHISTORIC WEAPONS.
They Were Probebly Made of Iron Ob
tained From Meteoritee.
In the old world the art of smelting
ores was discovered about 1200 B. C.
It has sometimes been suggested that
iron tools and weapons may have been
made at au earlier period from meteor
ites, and recently a considerable amount
of evidence In behalf of this hypothesis
has been presented by C. F. Zimmer.
He has compiled a list of the known
lron-contalnlng meteorites, nearly all
accumulated within the past century,
and he shows from these alone about
250 tons of Iron might be obtained.. Of
this amouut more than 99 per cent is
malleable, cousistiug of a nickel iron
alloy. He also shows by means of a
series of Illustrations how easy it Is to
detach from the meteorites fragments
of Iron suitable for use as tools or Im
plements when mounted In bandies.
Thus It seems fairly probable that a
widespread use may have been made of
meteorltic iron in prehistoric times.
At the time of the Spanish conquest of
Mexico the Aztecs bad iron knives and
daggers, which, they declared, had been
obtained from ilie sky. Moreover, the
use of meteorltic iron by Eskimos and
American Indians is a matter of recent
history.—Scientific American.
