PROTECTION FOR THE SALMON.

N0C0808ky
Coast Industry fro1 Externninstlos.
There is q movement ON foot to pro-
tect the salmon industry of the Pacific
coast, for it is asserted there is inn
minent danger of the determination of
the salmon unless something be done.
A bill has been sent to congress, and a
petition to both houses of that body in
favor of the bill is being largely circu-
lated in Washington, Oregon and Cali
fornia.. 1t seems, according to the
Seattle Telegraph, that the favorite
coast is the waters of Alaska. and the
salmon fishing of that territory has be-
come one of the most important indus
tries OF the United States. In twelve
years there were packed in Alaska
Also, ,761 cases Of salmon, the total
value of which at the lowest average
price was $40, ,027, ,004. There are in
Alaska, between IS degrees and 6s de-
grees north latitude. thirty-four can
neries. which have been constructed
at . cost of SIS, 600 to 30. 900 each.
The present difficulty is that. al
though the number of canneries In
Alaska has largely increased, the out
put from the earlier locations has
actually diminished during the last
three years. The reason for this de-
crease is that there are fewer salmon.
the streams which are their favorite
haunts having been fished out on the
one hand and so guartled on the other
with nets, fish racks and other appli-
ances that the salmon canaot get up
stream to their spawning grounds.
The petition alleges that to maintain
and preserve this great industry It is
necessary that coagress should pass
law for the regulation Of the salmon
fisheries Of Alaska, and there should
be NO unfavorable response to such ,
petition. There will be some intlivid-
uals, perhaps, who will object to the
regulation of the fisheries, but they
will belong to the class which always
kills the goose that lays the golden
eggs. It is alleged that any sensible
proprietor Of . salmon fishery and can
merry in Alaska would rather haze his
take Of fish limited for few year,
than to have his business ruined en-
tirely, - will be the case unless the
salmon be adequately protected by
congress-

ANTIQUITIES.


Il Has Bsea . Tl~urashing Trade for at
Least Foar Centuries.
Much curious information is con-
tanned in Sir John Evans article In
Longman's on the Forgery of An
tiouities." Both counterfeits and
forgeries, he says, abound in every de-
partment Of archaeology.
The fabrication of lapidary inscrip-
tions is said to have begun some four
centuries ago. The number and veri-
similitude OF the forgeries in the first
half of this century was so great as to
reduce considerably the value OF genu-
inc antique gems.
It is probable that more than half of
the old Dresden china now exposed for
sale is counterfeit.
The forgery Of ancient carved worries
has developed two distinct schools,
one in southern France, the other near
Cologne.
The German Becker seems to have
been the modern prince OF antique
coiners. He engraved dies for upward
of three hundred types Of coins, princi-
pally Roman, and a. most OF these
were struck in gold-a metal that does
not change in appearance with time
he realized large sums from unwary
collectors. M
How to take OF the appearance Of
novelty from the freshly-struck coins
was q question Of difficult solution.
He solved it thus:
He had q small box constructed,
which he partly filled with iron filings,
and screwed to the springs of his car
riage, and in this box he placed his
newly-struck coins, and then, as he ex.
pressed it, ''took his old gentleman =
drive" on the road betwean Frankfort
and Ofenbach.
The coins came out Of the box still
fresh, but with the too-glaring bloom
of youth judiciously toned down.
Wherever excavations are carried on
when coins are inquired for they
are sure to be produced.
The making of .'paleOlithic" imple-
ments takes rank rs one of the fine
arts in the valley of the Somme and in
the neighborhood of London. So with
neolithic implements. A certain arti-
ficer Of this craft, nicknamed Jack
Flint" when from their abundance his
forgeries lost their sale, earned .
somewhat honest penny by publicly
exposing his tricks of trade. Objects
of the bronze period are also obligingly
prepared.
The writer concludes with the con.
soling reflection that ''great rs may be
the forger's skill, not one OF his frauds
in q thousand escape detection" and
that the existence of fraud sharpent
and tests archaeological discernment.

LESS RANT THAN FORMERLY.

Practice Of Lsw.
"There is as much learning here in
the legal profession rs ever but it Is
not on exhibition" said lawyer to a
Philadelphia Record man. SIN the first
place, the courts will not countenancc
its undue display. In Old times an ad-
vocate was allowed great latitude.
Formerly, in q case of damages caused
by . neglected sidewalk, the attorney
would be allowed to expound not only
the laws relating to damages for meg
lect but he might stray of into the
realms of medical jurisprudence at
great length and even perorate with an
allusion to the magma charta, the con-
stitution and the American eagle. At
present lawyer must confine himself
to the real merits of his case. The ma
chinery of our courts has grown too
costly to permit such waste of time.
1t follows that there is less oratorical
skill displayed than in former days,
especially ut the period when some of
our leading lawyers made specially OF
criminal defense. Now few lawyers
of eminence either in Philadelphia. or
the east generally undertake the de-
Tense in = criminal case.
To-day the practice of law, like
other professions, is being more and
more specialized. A law Office is sim
ply business Office, as you may dis
cover by visiting some of the new
handsome Office buildings down town.
l know Of one Office, where there are
several partners, that would remind
you of a banking Office and where q
bookkeeper and q cashier are employed
to pay off clerks, typewriters and other
employees. You will, however, still
find veteran members of the b1r pur-
suing old-time methods in q cozy, quiet
office, sitting at a baize-covered table
amid a wilderness of weli-thumbed
books. They carry dark green bag
filled with briefs when they 60 to
court, precisely as all lawyers did fifty
years ago and as London barristera
still do.
''As to young lawyers, however tai

prestige their struggle to advance in
