in the Pacific while Hong Kong still feels her
self to be inadequAtely defended.
INCREASED BANKING FACILITIES.
The subject Of the coming development of
the far east brings me TO another matter
closely touching Hong Kong, and which. al
though new at present, will coon be promi-
nentiy before local and London fnanciers-
namely, the question Of increased banking ia
cilities. OF the five banks here the Hong
Kong and Shanghai banking corporation the
chartered bank Of India, Australia and China,
the chartered Mercantile bank Of India, Lon
don and China. the new Oriental bank corpo-
ration and the Compton d'Escompte, only the
first two can be regarded as having afforded
important facilities to local finance. The
third and fourth mentioned do COM
paratively small business, and the fifth is a
foreign institution and is in liquidation. The
Hong Kong and Shanghai bank IL the divine
providence, from financial point of view, Of
the far east. 1t has been the foundation and
main stay Of British prosperity in this part Of
the world, and its name and fame were never
higher than today. But the needs of the far
east have been tending to exceed its resources
for some time, for the best bank in the world
can only give what it has. So, too, with the
chartered bank of India. Its local business here,
and business Of a very profitable character, has
Increased several fold during the last five years.
but, it, too, has all its available funds en-
ployed.
INCREASING BUSINESS.
So today, as I am assured on all hands, q con-
stantly increasing amount Of legitimate and
profitable banking business is being turned
away from the doors of both institutions.
Therefore, unless Hong Kong is to stop where
it sand the record and character of its in
habitants makes that in the highest degree i'm
probable-one of two things must be done:
Either the local bank must increase its capital
or new semi-iocal bank must be established
Ito meet legitimate business with very large
margin to very good people," So certain is
this that already the leading Chinese merchants
refused in their applications for banking facili-
ties, are threatening to establish q local Anglo
Chinese bank. The capital for a new local
bank could be raised Immediately, or a new
issue of Hong Kong or Shanghai bank shares
could be placed on the market at heavy
premium tomorrow. One course or the other
Is practically certain to be taken and neither
presents any special difficulties. But from the
reputation Of the directors of the present bank
do not suppose they will allow q step of this
kind TO be taken over their heads.

In the great lakes the most important fisher
les are operated with pound nets. They are
simple of construction, having a leader or net
from 80 to IS rods in length, which is set up so
as to guide the fish that strike against it into a
heart-shaped pound, beyond which is square,
shaped bowl or pot" The fishermen at in
tervals haul up the pot and secure the i'm
prisoned fish.
Swimming" is a common mode Of fishing on
the upper reaches of the Neuse river in North
Carolina On account of the narrowness of the
stream the fish ascend in single file. The
skim" net, which is light and oval, with a
handle Of light tough wood. is held vertically
in the water by man in the bow Of a canoe.
Another man sits in the stern to paddle the
canoe. The man in the bow holds the handle
OF the net in one hand and trip-string in the
other. He can feel the contact of any body
against the net, and by dexterous twist of the
trip-string and handle land it in the boat In
this way hundreds of shad are caught
Many methods of capturing herring, includ-
ing the smaller herring or sardines, have been
followed. The old Indian way, still practiced
by many small fishermen, is to ''torch" for
them at night. A boat with an iron dragon
or fire holder forward, or a bed of clay on
which a fire can be built in the bow, is used A

to the surface and take ont the captives. In
winter, when 1t is not convenient to visit the
pots so often. another form Of pot is used which
has an additional pair Of netting tunnels in
side. The lobster has to go through two fun
nels to get at the bait. This greatly decreases
his chance Of escape. II the ordinary pot was
used and not visited for many hours the chances
are that the Holsters would get all the bait and
make their escape. With two tunnels to 20
through. after passing through the first. they
are likely in their cropping struggles to get free
simply to retrace their steps and pass back

Along the North Carolina sounds men and
boys catch terrapin in the winter with dredges
The marshes are burned, aud the terrapin,
buried in the mud, feeling the warmth and
thinking that the springtims has come. leave
their beds. In the summer boys wade for
them, and when the terrspin leave the water
they ara hunted 70 their nests by dogs. The
huge loggerhead and hawkbiu turtles in the
sound waters are caught in o curious way.

net four feet by eighteen inches and depth
about three feet. The Indian holds the bottom
Of the net drawn back under the handle until
he thrusts it into the water, when he lets the
point fall, Another net used for catching the
small Quinaielt salmon on the river has a ham
die IA feet long, a mouth one by five feet and a
depth OF four feet Formerly the Irvine used
in weaving these nets was made by the Indians
from the fiber Of the common nettle, but now
seine Irvine is used.
In India the natives use several devices for
trapping fish. A simple one is merely funnel
shaped basket or net. which is hung in a stream
or cascade and catches all the fish that may
come down. long slender cone-shaped trap
Is used IN the long grass Of marshes to
catch fish that have habit Of seeking places
of concealment from their enemies. These
fish seek safety by swimming into holes The
cone-shaped trap is formed of little rods or
branches OF wood with thorns upon it. The
fish pushes as far as it can toward the point of
the cone. When it tries to back out the thorns

used for cod on the American coast only for a
few years Trawl lines with gangs Of bailed
hooks weighted to the bottom, and band lines
were generally used until few years ago. The
expense and trouble of securing bait led to the
Introduction Of gill nets, such as had been in
use for some time by the Norwegian fishermen.
The first experiments were made by Prof Baird,
then United States fish commissioner, and the
success met with led to the extensive use Of
such nets. These nets are nearly horizontal
meshed walls or curtains anchored by weights
to the bottom and held perpendicularly by
lines buoyed to the surface The meshes are
so large that small fish pass through them, but
marketable cod are caught by the
gills. The nets are of service only
during certain seasons when fishermen say the
cod are partly blinded and cannot see the net.
When the net is set its position is marked by
buoys or kegs, from which flag floats. 1t is
visited every morning and underrun the net
being hauled up and passed over boat, and
the cod trapped in the meshes being removed.
Gill nets, is to 20 fathoms long and two or
three fathoms deep with small meshes are used
in the herring fishery.

captured by diving for them. The fisherman
a the painter of his boat tied to his ankle
when he dives. When he sees turtle
he dives so as to come behind the creature and
seizes 1t by the shell or neck back of its head.
The turtle instinctively. swims upward toward
the surface and the fishermen guides it toward
the shallow water in shore and when he gets
there he has the animal at his mercy
The Indians of the northwest coast are all
skillful fishermen. Many of them subsist al
most entirely ON fish and neglect agricultural
pursuits. The sea, bays and rivers, teeming
with fish. offer them always rich harvest that
can be easily reaped. The indolent and dirty
Indians OF the Quinaielt agency. Washington
territory, are unusually expert in the use of
nets and spears with which they capture sal
mon and smaller fish. The ets and spears and
the manner of using them have been described
in recent report made to the Smithsonian In
stitution by MIR. c. Wiiloughby.
The drag-net Is used for fishing in narrow
streams of water. For using it two canoes are
necessary, with strut from six to eight feet
apart. with bows diverging. An Indian sits in
the stern Of each canoe. each Indian holding
one pole Of the net in one hand, while the other
hand holds tight the string which keeps the

fire is made out of some exceedingly combusti-
BILE wood that makes bright glare. The in
stincts of the fish lead them to rise to the sur
face when the light appears. In the day. at
tracted by the light. the herring move toward
the sun. At night they rise to the light of the
fires and man with a hand net in the bow of
the boat dips them from the water The In
dams, it is thought. discovered this habit Of
herring by seeing them rise to the surface and
swim to the beach when camp fires had been
lighted on the shores.
Herring are caught in vast numbers by
means of brush weirs. These weirs are con-
structed at the end of point of land or in a
channel in regions where tides rise high Poles
are sunk In the water and the spaces between
them woven with brush like a thick hedge.
The weir when constructed forms pond into
which the fish, following the sun or feeding
near the surface, are drifted by the cur
rent at high tide. When the tide goes down
the weirs, which at high water are almost out
OF sight are left almost dry and myriads of
fish are taken from them.
Formerly when Holsters were plentiful in

readily caught in great numbers by saffs or
hooks on the end of poles, by means of which

There are many devices used for trapping fish.
Nets have been in use by both savage and civil
ICED people for ages. The development of the
fisheries and the competition among fishermen
have led TO the employment of huge seines.
Many devices once used by fshermen-when
dsh were more plentiful or less shy or when
the fisherman was contented with a smaller
catch-have been abandoned or are disappear
ing. In the North Carolina rivers, before the
general use of seines traps of various kinds
were set by many fishermen. Now the use Of
such traps is rare.
One ingenious trap for catching shad. used
IN North Carolina. is a fish wheel. made with
four blades or arms, which is set in the OPEN
ing or sluice where a stream ran through a
dam. The arms or blades of the wheel are
curved and sloped to one side. They are SO
set that their concave sides are turned down
stream. The blades dip into the water and the
wheel is turned by the force of the current.
