of fish called Siskawit in Lake Supe-

the latest fish that swims either in fresh
or salt water. The fishermen say that
these fish, when hung up by the tail
in the hot sun of a summer day, will
melt and entirely disappear, except the
bones. In putting up about fifty bar
rels this season, one of the fishermen
made two and half barrels of OIL from
the heads and "leaf-fat" alone, without
the least injury to the marketableness OF
the fish. Beside this leaf-fat, the fat or
