'DOGFISH TRADE.
Commissioner Smiley on an I'm.
developed Industry.

g" A census" said United States Fish
Commissioner Smiley yesterday, "develops
many strange things and besides putting
known facts in systematic, compact form,
SO that they may be used in a comprehen-
sive manner, also brings to the light of day
man! other facts that may be utilized by
the wise to their advantage. The successful
man is he who can turn events into the
channel he is pursuing, so that. instead of
Dattllng against an unknown current. he is
carried by known one to success. What
mas Impressed me so much with the census
OF nsherles am now taking is the immense
undeyeloped industry that exists at present
on Puget Sound, in what is known as the
uoSnsil Trade. There is an Industry that
with proper development could be made to
Yield million times the outcome now de-
rived from it.
The dogfSh is n sort of shark that is
found in the Pacific Coast waters from
santa Barbara to Alaska. They usually
grow 70 pc two or three feet in length. In
the Gulf OF Georgia and tributaries they
swarm In immense schools during the months
OF May, June. July, August and September,
SO that one net may take from five to
hlteen barrels in single haul. The fish,
cries Id the region of Puget Sound carry on
inc industry some, but not to the extent
they might. They could take a thousand
times as much as they do, and in other
iocailtleS where no such industry Is prose-
cuted propOrtionate amount could be
caught
The fishers catch the dogfsh, take their
iivers out, and throw away the carcass, skin
and all. The skin might be tanned and
used as Ieather-a paying investment in
ltself-and the carcass, which contains -
per cent Of ammonia, would make the finest
OF guano. This fertilizer would be worth
from $50 to $50 per ton. The oil now
brings 80 cents a gallon. and fifteen years
ago It was worth 80 cents a gallon. 1t is
used principally by lumbermen and miners.
This Oil is reduced from the Iivers In the
most primitive manner. They are placed
IN a barrel and allowed to rot. Sometimes
1t is taken from them by boiling, but the
former method, though slower, is preferred,
because 1t does not keep the fishers away
from their nets and is less trouble. In the
East regular oil and fertlizing factory
would be put up and the industry would be
carried on on scale that would prove a
success. BY that method more oil would be
realized from the livers, guano would be
made from the carcasses and the skins
would be turned into leather. This may all
De brought about soon by some enterprising
person with foresight and wisdom, espe-
clally since that Country has been opened
up by railroad from kaama to the Cana
dian Pacific at New Westminster"

SMALLPOX In PUBLIC.
The Afflicted Wander Mt Large at


The Afflicted Wander Mt Large at the
New City Hall.
Another case of SMALL ox was taken to
the Pesthouse yesterday. A brother of one
of the early victims from 221 Brannan street
walked into the Health Office to learn from
DR.. Keeney what allied him. 1t was found
TO be mid form of the disease, and he was
hustled away as quickly as possible.
There is much complaint about the City
Hall because of the reckless way that per-
sons suffering from smallpox are perm tilted
to wander around in search of the Health
Office. l. was SO also during the epidemic
two years ago, only many times worse,
until people did not feel safe inside The
building. Hardly day passed that some
one with the disease did not go there and
meander around more or less. The same
thing occurred yesterday.
What makes it more than ever dangerous
and outrageous is the fact that the large en-
trance which leads to the Health Office is
also the main way to the Public Library,
where from one to two thousand persons
pass daily. Right on the heels of the man
who entered with the smallpox yesterday,
handling the door knobs freely, might have
been half dozen children on their way to
the library; and no matter what time of
day 1t occurs this probability cannot be
avoided.
William Horn, who has been in the Pest
house Tor several months afflicted with
leprosy, has been taken down with small

sclentlae Paradexs..

These scientific paradoxes are grouped
together in Blackwood's Magazine: The
water which browns us, fluent stream,
can be walked upon as ice. The bullet
which, when fired from a musket, carries
death, will be harmless If ground to dust
before being fired. The crystaIlized part
of the oil of roses, so graceful in its fra
GRANGE, solid at ordinary temperatures,
though really volatile, is a compound
substance containing exactly the same
elements, and in exactly the same pro-
portions, as the gas with which we light
our streets. The tea which we daily
drink with benefit and pleasure produces
palpltations, nervous tremblings, and
even paralysis, If taken in excess; yet the
peculiar organic agent called theme, to
which tea owes its qualities, may be
taken by itself Gas theme, not as teal
without any appreciable effect.
The water which will allay our burn
ing thirst augments it when CONCEALED
into snow, SO that it is stated by ex-
plorers Of the Arctic regions that the ma
tives prefer enduring the utmost ex-
tremity of thirst rather than attempt to
remove it by eating snow" Yet if the
snow be melted it becomes drinkable
water. Nevertheless, although if melted
before entering the mouth it assuages
thirst like other water, when melted in
the mouth it has the opposite effect. To
render this paradox more striking, we
have only to remember that ice, which
melts more slowly in the mouth, is very
efficient in allaying thirst.

The Wells OF TripoII.

The Friday market in Tripoli, Barbary,
held in the oasis, a little distance from
the town, is picturesque in the extreme.
On all sides the exasperating grating of
well pulleys produces a motif too Wag-
merriam for uneducated ears, in pastoral
symphony played by a full orchestra of
buzzing insects, grasshoppers whirring
shrilly, and the sun scorched palms
cracking their dry branches. In each
garden rise the two arms of well, be-
tween which an enormous leathern bag
mounts and descends on a rude wooden
pulley, the chief instrument of the above
mentioned music, discharging at each
trip n flood of water.
The negro laborer uses camel, an OK.
sometimes his wife, to give the motion
to the machine by going up and down
an incline plane. The movement does
not stop day or night during the nine
months of the dry season, and it is
thanks to that water, which is life,
thanks to constant care, that the YER
dure of semi.tropical vegetation blooms
gayly in the sand.
Under the protection of pomegranate,
fig, orange, lemon and banana trees,
through whose heavy foliage the sun
percolates, flourish maize aud wheat,
vegetables and flowers of all sorts.
Above it all the stately palms balance
their heads in the superheated atmos-
phere --Scribner's Magazine.
