Kendall, Montana, June 2, 1 901 7. NET -FISHING IN THE LAKES. Slow the Freak Water Fish Are cap- tured for the Markets of the Country. Practically all commercial fishing in fresh waters is carried on by the use of nets, whether a rowboat or an up- to-date tog is employed. The gill net is the handiest and is much used in Lake Erie. This forms fence on the bottom of the lake about EiX feet high and any - - where from 800 feet to several , miles long. These nets are made of thin cord and can be stowed away in a very small compass, says the Buffalo Express. A fish will swim against the fence of net- ting, get its head caught in the mesh, and will stay there until taken out by the fishermen. The nets are kept in position in the water by lead sinkers on the bottom and cork bobs on top. The entire net is also anchored secure- ly, while the spot is marked by a buoy. Gill nets often come in sections 300 feet long, and are fastened together in gangs. Fishing tugs often set a gang that is over four tidies long. Each boat is equipped with two gangs. Pound nets, whose use !.n New York waters is prohibited, are used in Ohi., and Canadian waters. They form large receptacles in the water into which fish find their way ancitare prevented from getting out by a trap -like ar- rangement at the entrants.. Game fish are often caught in pound nets. Then there are also smaller trap nets, fyke nets, and many other varietita*, some of which are peculiar to different lo- calities. Some commercial fishing ill carried on by the use of set lines for sturgeons, etc., but such means are not exten- sively employed. MEXICO MAKING STRIDES. Our Solatkweetern Neighbor Is Rap - Idly Taking On the Briskness -- of America. Dr. Charles Amezcua, of the City of Mexico, who is a gentleman of sciea- tific attainments, told a Washington reporter bow much impressed he was with the beauty of Washington and with the surpassing beauty of its au- tumnal days. \There is one thing,\ said be, \that probably a great many of yous readers do not know, and that is how rapidly the republic of Mexico is becoming Americanized. Our people know of the tremendous progress of our great tit- ter across the Rio Grande, add while they realize that there is yet an enor- mous gulf that separates the one from the other, still the United Stites is an inspiration and an incentive.* We re- joice in seeing the United States take precedence of the old-world monarch- ies, and do not doubt it will eclipse them all. \With such an object lessoii before us it is no wonder that Mexico is like- wise making rapid strides along the road that leads to national greatness. The country is awake, wide awake. and everybody seems imbued with the idea of a glorious destiny. We are pr oy ins. also, that Gen. Diaz may have his life prolonged for at least ten more years. because he is really the one great fac- tor in our advancement, and as long as he lives no one fears but that all will go well with our country.\ GERMANY'S AIR BATHS. A: New Fad That Is Being FollOW•di by the Fisskionables of Ben 10. \Air baths\ are all the rage In fashionable Berlin just now. We all know what necessary factors light and air are for the mainte- nance of health. The Berlin air baths have the great advantage of being pleasant as well as healthy, and many of the society ladies of the German capital have taken them up. The scenes now repredemed were photographed at the' Berlin insti- tute, which started this open air idea, and witich has already become famous both in Europe and Amer- ica, says Golden Penny. Even the tiniest children are taken to these \baths as well as young girls and more elderly ladies. The main object, of course, is to exercise both the muscles and the lungs at the same time, and the nondescript kind of bathing dress which is worn allows the ladies n delightful sense of freedom while practicing their gymnastic feats or playing at gardening in the grounds. It is scarcely necessary to add that the garden is kept as secluded as possible. Surrounded by high walls, it is situated in a quiet locality just outside the city. A Sound Sleeper. Paul Kruger, in his memoirs, tells the story of a secretary whom he pun- ished for being drunk, by tying him to a wagon wheel. During the night 3,000 Kaffirs and about 4,000 Zulus at- tacked the Boer camp and were not driven off till daybreak. .The secre- tary slept so soundly that he notieed nothing of the fight, and the next day. when he at last awoke, he looked around in astonishment and asked: \Have you people been fighting during the night?\ GREAT NILE DAM COMPLETE. Sout• Interesting Facts and Figures /bout the - Wonderful Work la the Land of Egypt. Nearly four years ago -41n Febru- ary 12, 1869—the foundation stone of the Assouan dam was laid by the duke of Connaught. The gigantic' project is now completed, says a re- cent report from London. At Assiout, 250 miles above Cairo, a barrage has been constructed to enable the water stored up in the great reservoir at Assouan to be ntl- ii to the best advantage. Its totai . length is 2,570 feet, or rather more than half a mile, and it includes Ill arched openings capable of being closed by steel sluice gates le feet In height. This work alone will bring an ad- ditional 300,000 acres under regular irrigation by throwing more water at a higher revel into the great lbra himiyah canal, the intake of whici. is immediately above the barrage. The additional area thus availabi- for cultivation is equal to the county of Bedford. To keep the water down during the operations 17 12 -inch cen- trifugal pumps. throwing water suf- ficient to supply a city of 2,000,000 inhabitants. had to be employed. Al one time 13,000 men were engaged for two months on the barrage, alone, and in a single season 1,500,000 sand- bags were used in the temporary dams which the work necessitated. A new regulator with nine arches and sluices had to be constructed at the head of the Ibrahimiyah canal to control the high floods and prevent clamase to the canal and works. The great dam itself is distant from Cairo about 600 miles, or 350 miles above Assiout. Facts and flg- ires connected with this stupendous construction amaze while they en- lighten. The total amount of mason- ry employed works out at 465,000 cu- bic Meters (a meter is about 38 inches), while in one month alone 45,000 cubic meters were laid down. The total length of the dam is one mile and a quarter. London bridge is but 1,041 feet in length. The dam is not a solid wall. It has 180 sluice openings, capable of a flood discharge of 15.000 tons of water per second. The thickness of the dam at the base is 100 feet and its maximum height is 130 feet. For navigation purposes a \ladder\ of four locks has been constructed. The reservoir at Assouan has a ca- pacity of 1,000,000 tons of water. This is equal to the annual rainfall in a 13 -mile radius round London. When the cultivation of the sue rounding country needs water most a stream double that of the Thames in mean annual flood can be let out from this reservoir, The Sultan's Declaration. At a reception of the patriarchs of Constantinople_ recently the :sultan deduced that lie will make no dis- tinction between Clriatiaas and Mo. hammedeas.
