An important step in fish culture has
recently been made by the United States
commission Of fisheries. Commissioners
Marshall Mcdonald win be able to dem.
onstrate that the artificial culture Of the
sturgeon is az practicable as that Of the
shad or trout. The sturgeon fishery pro.
duces q most important export in ltd
caviare. IL Ia Of the most valuable
Of the coast industries, and its present
condition seems TO warrant all the efforts
of scientific fish culture. In 1883 exper
iments in the Matching Of sturgeon were
carried on at Delaware City, Del, by tn,
commission, but they were % little sue
cessful that until the present no further
efforts were deemed advisable.
The results that have just been at
tanned at the same locality by an assist
ant of the commission, DR.. Bashford
dean Of Columbia college, New York
seem, however, to be most important
In his trial experiment he has employee
a floating Matching case OF his own de

eral thousand young sturgeon. Tn
floating cases were filed with fertilize'
eggs and moored In q strong, brackisl

about in droves. The people of New

been said thata noted American after

that class for most of his numerous
stories; at all events the commercial
traveller has studied the art of pleas
ing, and he is welcome figure at the
dreary country hotels where he pauses
for little while in his rapid flight
through the sections remote from
the city influences. In some re.
spects lie is an oracle OH mooted
points. and bis dictum on many phases
of business or politics carries much
weight. If, for instance, the com.
mercial travellers of the country were
unanimously TO favor the repeal of
the silvcr-purchasc law and the pas
sage of the proposed bankruptcy
act and were to back their opinions
with common-sense arguments where
ever they should go, ii is hardly too
much to say that in short while the
demand for the favored action would
soon show itself strongly in all sec
tions of the country. Sbrewd poll
ticians of national fame have in the
