HOW CHINESE CATCH SHRIMP.
Inc Mongolians Tread on Them to
Break the Hard Shells.

LLCtiNA Ru 1uGin TO
Break the Hard Shells.
There are some very curious fisheries
carried on by the Chinese on the Pacific
Coast" said an officer of the Irmitad
states Fish Commission to a Baltimore
1-dlh1teF9caH man in Washington recently,
Ohe OF the most remarkable is the catch
ing OF shrimp, which is an important in
oustry IN San Francisco Bay and adjacent
waters. These little crustaceans uDon
pelng captured are taken ashore and
polIed IN big iron vats, after a rude
fashion, holes being scooped ont of the
side OF a steep bank for fireplaces. which
are built up with stones After the
shrimp nave renamed in boiling water
lor ten minutes they are spread ont TO
dry upon bare ground. One such shrimn-
yard at Hunters Point is about tifteen
acres IN extent. The Chinese use brooms
shaped somewhat like hoes, for spread,
ing the shrimp and to turn them at the
required intervals.
Alter being thoroughly dried by ex-
posure TO the sun for about five davs the
shrlmp are crushed by being trodden
upon by Cinnamon in wooden shoes
This process loosens the meat from tho
shells, which latter are removed nv
shaking in basket or by passing them
through a crude fanning-mill. Both
meat and shells are then packed in sacks
are sold for food and the shells disposed
OF as fertilizer for tea plants, rice. etc.
All classes of people in China eat the
meats, although regarding them as in
terlor to the native shrimp, which are
comparatively scarce and proportionatelv
dearer Both meats and shells are fed TO
fowls, with remarkableI egg producing
results. N1''S
Another interesting fishery prosecuted
by the Chinese on the Pacific Coast is for
abalones. These beautiful univaive
mollusks are found along the rocky
shores at low tide. clinging to the
rocks above the water line. Each
shell is slightly lifted. so that the fisher
man can thrust stick under it and
pry 1t Oft; but, if alarmed, the animal
shuts down its valve, so that it can only
be removed by breaking it to pieces.
The meats are taken from the shells
and boiled on shore in watts made of
sheet iron. Shells and meats are then
packed in sacks and forwarded to San
Francisco. whence most of the meats
are exported to China, and the shells
shipped to France, the latter being highly
valued for their beautiful mother-of-
-pearl.p

1t is matter of familiar knowledge in
England that Tennyson wished his son
to write his biography. 1t is thought
that the present Lord Tennyson will full
fill the task. The AtheRBum says that
''he whose relations to the great poet
were at once those of son and OF loving
brother is the only person at all compe-
tent to generalize upon the thousand
snatches of self-criticism that fell from
Tennyson during many years and say:
This remark of Tennyson's represents,
and this other remark does not represent,
Tennyson's opinion
