SALMON IN CANADA.
"A Sportsman Tells How Won These Fish
Are Protected There.

Especial Correspondence
TORONTO June 14.-Salmon are well
protected in Canada If you are going to
that paradise for this noblest Of game
fish without having an Invitation from
some one who controls salmon water
somewhere in the Dominion, You might
just as well 60 to Florida with the expec-
tation OF killing polar bears. It is a rood
thing that this is SO, for if there had not
been change in the methods Of salmon
fishing there, the waters Of the Dominion
would by this time have been as free
from that great game fsh's presence as
are hundreds of streams in our own conn
try where the salmon was once abundant.
In fact. the Canadian streams themselves
some years ago were rapidly approaching
a condition of fish determination, owing
70 the reckless manner ia which they had
been fished. For time out of mind
the Indians who lived in the sal
mon regions had enjoyed the un-
disturbed privilege of spearing the fish
during tho spawning season, and every
year they killed thousands of the biggest
specimens in the rivers, the larger num-
Der of which contained thousands Of eggs.
This destructive mode of fishing was in
time adopted by white fishermen, and it
was allowed to continue until the rivers
were threatened with utter extinction of
the salmon family. This condition of
things finally attracted the attention of
the Dominion government. which at once
took charge of the streams. Laws were
passed under which every salmon and sal
mon egg in any stream in Canada became
the property of the government, and since
then no person has been permitted, under
heavy penalties, to cast line to tempt
one of these fish or draw net to entangle
one without he first procures a license
from the government to do so. The gem
tleman sportsman must plank down his
little fee just the same as the brawny
dragger Of the net who prizes the lordly
salmon only according to it's range in the
market quotations.

Artificial Stones

Though the appearance OF artificial
precious stones is now so exactly imlta-
tive of the genuine article as to render
the Judgment even of an expert fire.
uIrently at fault, 1t is claimed that the
test of hardness is still intallible. Thus,
the beautiful French paste, from which
snch attractive initiative diamonds are
made, is a kind of glass, with MKT
ure of oxide of lead-the more or the
latter the brighter the stone, but also
the softer, and this latter is the serious
defect. But by careful selection of
the ingredients, and skill and manipu-
Iation, the lustre, color, fire, and water
of the choicest stones are, TO the eyes
of the ordinary purchaser, fully repro
duced: there are a few delicacies OF
color that cannot be perfectly given,
depending as they do on some undls-
coyerable peculiarities of molecular
arrangement, and not on chemical COM
position-thess, however, not being
apparent to the uninitiated- NJ Sidot,
howeyer. a well-known French chem
ist. is reported to have nearly repro
duced the peculiarities In question
including the dichrolsm or the sap
nhire-by means of a composition. OF
which the base Is phosphate OF lime;
and other chemists have produced
rubies and sapphires having ths same
composition as the genuine stones, a.
most as hard.

New perlls awaited him in Morocco.
Tor the nomads with whom he travelled
suspected that he was an imposter, In
formed the Sultan of their suspicious.
and he was put in irons at the capital.
There is little doubt that he would
have been killed If the Europeans In
the city had not heard of his plight.
He was rescued through the interven-
tion of Sir William Kirby Green. the
British Minister to Morocco, and sent
to the coast, where he embarked for
Europe.
Morocco teams with riches of many
kiAds, and is naturally one OF the most
desirable and accessible parts of the
world. Why Is it that it has no wagon
roads, that Its resources are un-
touched, that its exports are almost
nothing, that white men dare not
trays There, that its government is
oas 4rous and that its people are sink
ing into degradationp 1t is simply
oecsuse several of the great powers of
Europe, each eager to grasp the prize
are determined that it shall not pass to
other nations. Their mutual jealousies
have had the effect to keep them all
out OF Morocco, and SO civilization and
progress have avoided a rich region,
lying within sight or Europe, that
needs only good government to be a
blessing to its inhabitants and to the
world. For the sake of the Moors, for
the sake Of commerce, and for the sake
of white travellers like Mr.. Douls, who
entec Morocco and the country tribu-
tary to it only at the risk of their lives,
it Is to be hoped that the European
powers will some day be able to unite
upon pol cy that will give Morocco a
chance TO thrive.
