A Curious Fish Which Vancouver Indians
Use for Food and Light.

market had on his slab the other day
two specimens of a fish not frequently
seen there, but plenty from Vancouver
island northward- In plain commercial
language it Is known as the candle fish
Technically the name is thaleichthys
pscificus, u remarkable species of the
family salmonid@, strictly sea fish,
approaching the coast % spawn, but
never entering rivers. The specimens
that were shown n Cali reporter
measure a foot in length and have
somewhat she appearance OF an eel,
except the head, which is pointed and
copical II has a large mouth. The
color is greenish on the back, passing
into silvery white on the sides and
belly, which is sparsely spotted with
dirty yellow.
The Indians of Vancouver island and
vicinity use the fish both for food and
light. 1t is the latest or most oleag-
nous of all fishes, and, it is said, of all
animals. 1t is impossible 10 either boil
or fry 1t, for the moment it is subjected
10 certain heat it turns to oil. The
Indians who use the fish for food take
them, and, without cleaning them, run
a skewer through the eyes and suspend
them in them in the thick smoke that
arises from wood fires. The fish ac-
quires the flavor of the wood and the
smoke helps to preserve it. When the
Indians want to make meal OF .Se
fish they heat them, reduce them to oil
and drink the oil. When they want a
light they take dried fish, draw through

from the inner bark of the cypress tree.

needle of hard wood being used for the
purpose. The fish is then lighted at
one end and burns steadily until con-
sumed.

So writes 4. Bennnet, and all the
newspaper men say Amen. Wonder
if the writer did not run a paper
for a whileI The lines have a
warning not only to intending pub
fishers, but to advertisers as well.
There are men In all lines Of bust
ness who get the smallest possible
percentage Of good out Of the adj
vertising they do, because it is not
" directed Alright" And when the
adj. apparently fails to do the work
expected Of it, the general principle
Of advertising is condemned, or the
particular journals in which the
advertisement was placed are set
/ down as useless In ninety per

the unwise use Of a good thing.
