The Most Delicate of Fresh Water
Fish Disappearing.

The Most Delicate of Fresh Water
Fish Disappearing.
HYear after year, and for many
years, the fish commission of oil the
states bordering on the great lakes
have freely stocked these waters with
whitefsh, and yet year by year the
catch of Whitefsh diminishes," said a
prominent buyer and shipper of lake
fish. Where do the whitefsh go2 It
isn't a difficult question to answer.
There is no doubt that the efforts of
the commissions in stocking the lake
with whitefsh are eminently sue
eessful as far as the experiments
themselves are concerned. The
young fish thrive and grow even be-
You'd the expectations of fish cultur-
lists. But the experiments with white
fish are exceptionally tender. They
hug closely the shores of the lakes,
unlike most of the fishes of the lakes.

A snlrltad Shark Eight.

The New Zealand Herald describes
desperate fight between man and
shark which occurred in Manukau
harbor. Mr.. Henry jacobson, who
is employed at the North Manukau
Heads as beacon lightkeeper, was out
in his boat six miles down the harbor,
when it was struck by squall and
swamped, and it's occupant left in the
water. jacobson dived and endeavor-
ed to relieve the ballast, but without
success. He then grasped an oar and,
being a good swimmer, struck out for
land, but, as a strong tide was run
ming he was swept down the harbor,
distance of three miles. At that
point he was attacked by a large
shark which grabbed his hand. He
protected himself, however, with the
oar, which he tried to ram down the
sharks throat. The fish then made a
circle around him and renewed the att
tack. BY this time, however, Jacob
son had his sheath-knife drawn, ana
desperately stabbed the shark, rip
ping it's side open, SO that the water
became red with blood A further at
tack was made, when jacobson again
stabbed the monster near the tail,
and it swan away. At that time a
boat came in sight, and jacobson, ex-
hausted, was hauled into the boat,
having been in the water two hours
and thirty minutes.

The earliest cherry blossoms I have seen this

days later than last year, but six days earlier
than the average. The earliest date is May 1st,
III 1850, and the latest May 31st, in 1925.
Among the very early years were 1872, 1885,
1889 and 1891. Among the latest, 1854, 1888,
1873, 1882 and 1883. Since the elm blossoms
broke the record, April 6th we have had many
bleak days which have set the season back

years than one of a hundred and seventy years
such as we practically have of cherry blossoms
