In Norway, ivnere there is nnt not such „„ rh close nshlug. salmon are caught weighing over fifty pounds, proving they must have made many J annual trips to the sea. It has , been proved by long-continued, , careful . , markings that the grilse and salmon never mistake their own river, or that branch , of „ it ., , in which , . , they ,, are __,, hatch- . , ed; this shows remarkable Instinct In this fish, as many rivers are lon£ and , llave 80 „ many loeueis. f „„ d „.. a Though xnougn the tne salmon deposits so many thousands of ova, millions of ova and fry are de Strdyed; U is estlmated that “* in a thousand . reaches maturity.

The Mule a* a Warr/oit Some years ago a very ludicrous ex¬ periment was tried id a far Western camp with a view to extending the range of mules’ military service. It occurred t® an Inventive officer that this long suffering animal might be used as a sort of automatic guncar riage in fighting the Indians. So a mule was brought out and a small mountain howitzer strapped up¬ on his back, the muzzle pointing tail ward. Then he was led to the middle of the parade ground, and In the pres¬ ence of an interested circle of officers and men, the gun was pointed and the fuse lighted. But the sputtering of the powder aroused an ill timed curiosity in the mule. He twisted around his head, but couldn’t quite reach tiro fiz¬ zing thing, whereupon he began to wheel, and the muzzzle of the cannon slowly swept the horizon, successfully covering every portion of the field and 111 who assembled there. Then there was a panic, most u n seemly. Some of the spectators broke and ran, some circled about in a fran¬ tic effort to keep in line with the head of the mule, some fell flat on their faces. At last, after a blood curdling interval of suspense, the howitzer went off—you might have fancied that it roared out with laughter—and the result was nothing more than the ov •rtlirow of the inquisitive beast and t'no demolition of a chimney in the barracks. It was certain]ny a mulish joke, but the experiment wasn’t r> pented— New York Press. A Law ol Salvaje. In salvage one of the first taws is that the peril must be actual. The bargain made in time of danger by the master or agent of the imperiled craft with another volunteering aid need not of necessity hold in court, and gen¬ erally does not. As a rule the bargain is exhorbltant, and made at a time when the victim would be willing to guarantee the payment of millions for proffered assistance. This point has been dacided hundreds of times, the courts taking the stand that peril made an exorbiant bargain necessary. As a general thing, the salvage award is equal to about one-third the value in the ease of sailing craft, and from one-third to one-half in the ease of steamers. The owners of the salvage craft whose money was wasted by de¬ lay, wear and tear, are, of course, en¬ titled to the bigger piece of the plum. The master of the salvor gets about twice the sum that his mate receives, and the mate is paid something like double the amount of each sailor. The Strength of Instinct. The bloodhound trials held on the moors near Scarborough, England, are interesting rather as drawing atten¬ tion to a neglected and possibly valua¬ ble form of animal talent than for any contribution they made to our knowl¬ edge of what these dogs can do. The runs were scarcely a mile in length, and most of the hounds acquitted themselves creditably.’ The result has shown that after some century and a half, during which the breed has not been trained or exercised in tt\e work which was formerly the sole object for which it was kept, the dogs reddily follow the trail of a man at onoe, and at a rapid pace. But heath¬ er is the best scenting ground in Eng¬ land, and it was largely over such moorlands that the Border blood¬ hounds were used. If only required to follow a single trail there Is little doubt that the dogs would have gone not one mile, but ten.—London Spec¬ tator. Beauty la Blood Deep. Clean blood means a clean skin.
