The pope's disappointment was exhibited shortly after reading the reply when he told a group of Roman pilgrims to pray for Italy because -'what happened does not entitle the country to God's It is held probable that negotiations leading toward a working compromise will now gather force. THOUSAND FEEL SHOCK OF MYSTERIOUS BLAST (Continued from Page One.) ologists said such lark did not disprove the belief that a falling meteor caused the shock.

M. J. Tobias of Grrlton, who examined the hole, said the earth was loosened as if by a nitroglycerine explosion. There were no caches of explosives reported near that place, however. Thousands of automobiles clogged the roads leading to Malinto a few-hours after the shock.

W. K. Gunther of Malinta said the bottom of the hole was packed hard as if the meteor had not passed that point but said a meteor after entering the ground might have turned ofT on a tangent. Commenting on the possibility that nitroglycerine caused the shock. Gunter said he knew of no reason why such an explosive would have been transported in that vicinity.

There are oil and gas fields south of Malinta. but none north of there in the direction where the center of the shock was found.

Heavy rainfall last Wednesday damaged the pond to the extent, that it was necessary to drain the water from the the banks and place a new screen on the west end of the pond. The screen is used to separate the place where the smaller fish are kept from the larger fish reservoir.

More than 70.000 blue gills were taken from the pond, located on the Frank D. Senator farm, one and one-half miles southwest of Marshall, lor the lakes of the county last fail. A pond for bass, to be located near Marshall, is at the present time being constructed unc.cr the supervision ol the league and is expected to be ready for use by next year. The fish used in planting are obtained from the lake beds when they are in the -'oranite slate" and are placed in the artiiical beds in the pond. The "orange state" is so called because at this stage the fish, which are just hatched and not ready to leave the beds, carry a pouch, or remainder cf the egg.

underneath their mouths. This pouch, used for nourishment until the fish are able to obtain food for themselves, changes color several times during the various stages of development. Artificial beds are fashioned on square boards three inches in height, with bottoms of cheese cloth. These beds are placed about three inches below the surface cf the water. As soon as the small fi-h are to swim over the throe inch bed they are old enoueh to feed themselves.

Approximately percent of the fish planted in the pond mature and can be placed in the lakes in the fail at which time they grown large enough to defend themselves from larger fish. Only about one percent of the fish hatched in lakes mature. H. C. Faulkner is president of the local league, the oldest existing chapter in the state.
