DISSERTATION OF Fishes.

A singular fact In connection with
distribution Of fishes 10 that no streams
Sowing northward Into Lake Erie from
Ohio have brook trout In them natural
". and only one has them artincially.
All Of tho Michigan streams cmptying
into Lake Erie have trout In them.
There are two 81. Joseph Rivers In
Michigan. one entirely In the state and
the other having Ito head waters there.
The two streams risc In the same hills,
almost within . stones throw Of one
another.
Ono Aows westward through the
State and has an abundance Of trout In
its upper waters. The other lows
south Into Ohio. and Its waters reach
Lake Erie through connection with
the Maumee River. There are no trout
In It, and 1t 10 the only stream In Michi.
gan that has no trout. This creek 10 the
outlet to . vast spring or lake. which
nearly . century ago appeared on q
farm In that part Of the State In q
single night The trout the creek now
contains are the result of artificial
stocking, which was done few years
