been scantily washed and sprinkled. Some
of them not at all. The dust rises in foggy
clouds. and bad smells fill the air indoors

The results of the Norwegian fishe-
ries in 1880 will 90 far toward compen
sating the people for the former years of
depression. OF cod more than sixty-five
millions have been caught, a larger
yield than in any one year since 1877,
in which year the maximum was reached.
These figures do not include the fish
taken for home consumption. How
large a catch this is may be seen when 1t
is compared with the average yield
from 1869 to 1878 only forty five mil
lions. While the cod fisheries have proved
unusually productive, the herring tishe-
ry has been prOportlonatelY poor, pro
ducing but 500, 900 barrels for export
In recent years important subsidiary in
dustries have arisen in connection with
these fisheries. Formerly the bones and
refuse of the fish were thrown away as
useless; but in 1860 factory was estab-
lished in Lofoden for converting this
fish refuse into guapo, and has proved
remarkably successful. The exports of
fish guano in 1875 were 3.79S, ,555 kilos,
and in 1879 had risen to nearly 6 100000
kil0s. BY a new process that is now
being applied it is hoped to obtain
several important by products from this
fish offal, such as isinglass, gelatine, al
bumen and fish glue. 1t is claimed that
products not inferior in quality to and
much lower in price than the existing
supplies of the various articles may be
thus obtained.
