PEDDLING LIVE FISH IN CHINA.| Typical Scene in Many Cities of the | Oriental Empire.

He will be noticed balancing two re- A Chinese Fish Peddler. ceptacles, ‘each one containing fish. There is some aversion among Chin- ese to buying fish that show no signs of life. For that reason the pedler is compelled to keep a stock of both live and dead fish. In the large hamp- er he has a supply of fish whose life has become extinct, while in the large pail at the opposite end of the pole’ he has a collection that wriggle about in the water. A big premium is al- ways paid by Chinamen for live fish. Sunflower and the Sun. “The sunflower,” said a naturalist, “is the most deceitful of all plants, for it has fooled six nations.

Hoosier College Graduate, Aged 30, Receives Handsome Pay as Mining Expert for the Guggenheims —Was Star Athlete. Indianapolis—How many young men receive a straight salary equal to that of the president of the United States? There is one at least. Oscar B. Perry, of Bloomington, Ind., who, at his age, 30, receives $50,000 a year for his services. This young man is paid that much for his brains, and it is not an exces- sive salary from the standpoint of the corporation which employs him. The investment of $50,000 a year has brought returns approaching the mil- lions. It is a remarkable story of an Indiana boy who made the best of his talents and his opportunities, who made a college education count for all that it was possible to get out of it, and who now holds a position that few men of his age seldom attain. And he has been out of college but ten years, having graduated at the age of Mr. Pe , an expert min- ing engineer, is general manager of |some half dozen of the Guggenheim mining enter; s of Colorado, Cali- fornia, Cana¢ and Alaska, the com- sents many millions. He has_ been years, his lection for the important (GEE = OSCAR B. PERRY. | (Yours Mining Expert Who Receives Salary of $50,000 a Year.) in South Africa and recognized as one of the foremost mining experts of the | world. His attention was attracted to Mr. Perry several years ago. After graduation from Indiana uni- versity at Bloomington from the ‘e- partment of physics in 1897 Mr. Perry took a year’s graduate work at the in- stitution, then entered the school of mines of Columbia university, from which he took the E. M. degree in 1900. Soon after, in company with his father, a wealthy owner of stone quarries in the Bloomington district and one of the first to demonstrate the beauty and value for building pur- poses of the Oolitic limestone, he went to California and became inter- ested in dredging for gold. He studied the dredges with the eye of an ex- pert and made so many improvements that the machines soon came to be known as the Perry dredges. His inventions soon attracted the attention of Mr. Hammond and led to | his employment by the Guggenheims. | One of the first enterprises handled by | him for the Guggenheims was the Pa- cific Gold Dredging company of Oro- ville, Cal. He was soon operating for this company a fleet of five dredges, all eminently successful from the } start. Ordinarily Mr. Perry travels 30,000 to 40,000 miles every year. In 1905 he visited Yukon, but traveled under an assumed name in order to better study mining conditions in the famous gold field. Last year he went again }in one of the first boats in June, and uring the four months after his ar- | rival there omplished results un- heard of before in so short a period.
