| sters by hand to plant in the New England
waters, which the fisheries have depleted to
such an extent that Holsters may almost be
said to have been driven out of that aqueous
region. In 1880 the Cape Cod lobster fishery
which at one time supplied the New York
onT hree or wno
the number of Holsters captured per trap set
has been steadily reduced. Meanwhile how
ever, the fish commission has been Matching
and letting loose along the shore millions of
young Holsters. Its work has not as yet had
time to exhibit visible effect for the simple
reason that the Holsters thus propagated by
hand have not had time to grow to any size.
1t takes six or seven years for newly Matched
lobster to obtain length of ten inches. But it
is expected that the hoped for results will soon
show themselves, as has been the case with cod
artItciaiiy Matched. So plentiful have young
cod become, owing to the commissions efforts
in this way, that fishermen have been seriously
annoyed by them OF late through the nibbling
OFF of their bats.
DOMESTIC LoBsTERs.
The lobster does not migrate at any season
for great distances; wherever it is put it stays,
only seeking deep water when the weather is
cold. Therefore it has been expected that any
OF these crustaceans newly Matched would re-
main where they were put aud eventually re-
ward the fishermen OF that locality. Last year
the station at Woods Holl liberated 1850, 900
young Holsters, this number representing about
80 per cent of the number of eggs incu5ated.
The remaining so per cent either did not
achieve birth successfully or were devoured by
their fellows for food Unlike the fishes,
Holsters do not come into the world with yolk-
sac attached to their bodies for food sully to
last them a while. Accordingly, they are
obliged at once upon coming out of the egg to
seek their own subsistence frequently at each
others expense
At Woods Holl the Matching process is per-
formed In glass jars. so arranged that fresh
sea water is constantly circulating among the
eggs. The eggs are olive green in color, and
when their time for Matching approaches the
shells become translucent, SO that one can see
the embryo lobster coiled up inside. When
they come out they are about five-sixteenths of
an inch in length, and they have to be fed with
finely powdered clans, crab meat, &c. Boats
are sent out with nets towed behind to scoop
in for their food the small crustaceans that float
ON the surface of the water. 1t is always q
matter OF great difficulty to secure a sufficient
number OF female Holsters with eggs to supply
the demand for Matching purposes

Mr.. RUSSELL whose sea stories have made him
immensely popular, has added something TO his
reputation by this work, in which he tells the
history of the greatest naval commander who
ever lived. 10 is an intensely interesting mar
rative, not only from the stirring account of
the achievements of Lord Nelson. but from the
pictures incidentally given of the methods,
manners and systems OF u century ago. 1t was
corrupt old age; the courts of Europe were
stews of vice of every kind. The people were
grooming under oppression, from which the
French Revolution brought welcome deliv-

land, for her own selfish purposes, lent her
powerful support to the maintenance of the
