lies the spot is the immense Union ceme-

with such precision and regularity that the

Decrease of Fish.

The United States Fish Commission
has issued report on the decrease of
food fishes on the Atlantic coast dur
ing the past ten years. In Spanish
mackeral, which spawn chiefly in Chesa
peake Bay, there has been notable
and steady decline, which is most con.
spicuous in Virginia. In 1880 Vir,
ginia had greater yield of Spanish
mackeral than all the other States
combined. The decline here can be
surely and indisputably traced to the
great catches at the mouth of Chesa-
peake Bay by the menhaden men by
the following figures; In 1887 and
1888 the production dropped to 1OS,
900 pounds and 1873, 239 pounds, re-
spectively, over yield of 1,60O, 663
pounds in 1880. Since then a small
increase has taken place, due, the
Commissioners say, to the somewhat
prohibited operations of the fisher.

New Mexico mark the northern line of
the actual Spanish advance from 154O
to 1921, in the basin between the
Sierra Nevada and Rocky Mountains,

for control of this portion of the
American Continent. After struggle
