Xerxes, In 480 B. O., having an uncanny feeling that his thousands of Persians were not Billingtons and Kellermans, lashed boats together as a bridgeway, which Herodotus tells us groaned for seven days and nights, during the unloading of Asiatics on the soil of Europe. Alexander the Great, about 100 years later, before he was reduced to tears at the failure of the world to provide him excitement, tried out the thrill of Xerxes by leading his Macedonians into Asia.

Smith, as follows: "The perpetuation of the fish supply In the Mississippi and its tributaries Involves a very Important industry besides fishing. Investigations conducted for the bureau of fisheries years ago showed an intimate relation between certain kinds of fishes and the mussels, which yield valuable n Inpearls and support a dustry which gives employment to about 20,000 persons, and has a product worth from $5,000,000 to $6,000,-00- 0 annually. The young mussels, of microscopic size when thrown off by their parents iff myriads, need to pass the first few weeks of their independent existence on the gills of fish. If the fishes are not present at the proper time, the mussels cannot survive. Furthermore and this is a most interesting feature of the of fishes and mussels the young of particular kinds of mussels require the gills of particular kinds of fishes as nurseries. The black bass is host for several sorts of mussels, the crappies for several others, the catfish for others. The skip-jaca kind of herring, is the only known host for the best of all mussels; and as this fish Is nht by any means abundant, its maintenance is of prime importance to the welfare of the button industry. In 1919 more than one and a half million s were rescued. The peculiar requirements of the tifet Contents 15TIniADractm For Infants and Children.

The spawning mussels, held in ponds, are at the critical period provided with the special fishes needed for the attachment of the young. The fishes obtained in the rescue operations are turned Into the ponds at the time the mussels are spawning and become thickly inoculated. They are then liberated In the open water and distribute themselves and the mussels throughout a wide stretch of river. Thus two important branches of the bureaus work go hand in hand. RUSSIA: THE HEIRESS OF FAMINES Never, in civilized times, have so nations felt the pinch many of hunger at once; yet suffering from want of food is no hew story to many of them. Especially has Russia been tiie luckless heir to periods of near old-wor- starvation. Writing to the National Geographic society, Ralph A. Graves tells of Rus- sian famines of the past as follows: Next to the proletariat of India and China, the Russian peasant has felt the pinch of poverty and hunger more keenly and more frequently than any other citizen on earth. One of the earliest famines in Russia of which there is any definite record was that of 1600, w hich continued for three years, with a death toll of 500,000 peasants. Cats, dogs and rats were eaten ; the strong overcame the tveak, and in the shambles of the public markets human flesh was sold. Multitudes of the dead were found with their mouths stuffed with straw. Three Russian famines of comparatively recent date were among the most severe In the history of the country. They occurred In 1891, 1906 and 1911. During the ten years following the first of these periods of dearth 0 the government allotted nearly for relief work, but the sums were not always judiciously expended. In 1906 the government gave 40 pounds of flour a month to all persons under eighteen and over fifty-nin- e years of age. All peasants between those ages and infants under one year of age received no allowance, and it became necessary for the younger and older members of the family to share their bare pittance with those whom no provision was made. The suffering was Intense and the mortality exceedingly heavy, but the available statistics are not wholly reliable. The famine of 1911 extended over d of the area of the empire in Europe and affected more or less directly, 80,000,000 people, while 8,000,-Q0- 0 were reduced to starvation. Weeds, the hark of trees, and bitter bread made from acorns constituted the chief diet for the destitute. This was unquestionably the most widespread and most severe famine that has befallen a European nation in modern times. $125,-000,00- fr water-bearin- MineraL hideous 'old millionaire expects the artist he has engaged t make a speaking likeness of him. liell get it.
