The guests are all conveyed upon the

Government about $1,000. But it is
something that is necessary TO be done,
and the presence OF the invited guests
adds nothing to The cost Indeed, if the

work Of launching costs the little ban

| give dignity to the proceedings.
The ship rests upon the keel blocks
and sliding ways. The sliding ways
are constructed like the sliding cover
of a starch box. You can pull il off and
when ycu do so, whatever is on top OF
the cover would naturally come off too.
This is the principle of the sliding ways
When they are allowed to slide they
carry the ship with them down to the

The sliding ways have been held in
place all this time by big bolts. When

the coast of Alaska, is now fitting up at vicinity of the Santa Barbara islands, west of the southern part of California.
 For the purpose of distributing fish, the Commission owns four railroad cars all fitted up with tanks, air pumps, and living quarters for their crews. These cars so about from station to station and convey the cans of small fish to con- v4nienU distributing points from which me cans are shipped by express. To keep the fl sh alive while in the car fresh air is forced into the water by means of The pump. The car can usually con- gGy the fish to within twenty four hours travel of their destination, and the con- eignee is notified as to the precise time at which his can of fish will be ex- pressed to him. Some varieties are kept il large tanks on the cars until put in the ten gallon milk cans for distributing.
 The fish commission has nothing for sale. Everything is given away; the party securing the fish, paying the cost of the can, unless he is able to return the same, and the expressage from the station or the distributing car to it's des- tination. When request comes in for fish the applicant is furnished blank to fill out, giving location of stream, lake or pond, for which the fish are wanted, character of it's bed, etc., and the num- ber of fish asked for. This is endorsed by member of Congress, and, if satis- factory, the party is notified that his ap, plication has been entered, and that he will be informed at the proper time as to when the order will be filled.

of number distributed: pike, perch, white fish, lobster, shad, cod, herring lake trout, and fiat fish. The various hatcheries are specially fitted for the propagation of the different varieties i: thus at Gloucester and Woods Holl, Mass, they hatch cod, at the two Mary land stations and at the Washington station, shad, at the Worthwhile, Nj chi gan, station, the various varieties of trout, and at Alpina, Michigan, white fish. At the Colorado, California and Oregon stations they give their atten- tion especially to raising trout and sal- mon. The prospects are that the ''crop' for the present year will exceed one bill lion.
 The eggs after having been ex- tracted from the fishes and fertilized are given the treatment requires for the var ious varieties for hatching. Shad and pfhTe fish eggs are placed in sdeep glass jars and agitated by stream of water introduced at the bottom of the mass by means of glass tube and rubber hose. With this treatment the shad eggs will hatch in week, while the white fish eggs require 8 period of nearly six months. Salmon eggs require different treatment; they must be placed in lay CTS on shallow trays and placed just be- meath the surface of a flowing stream of water so as to be subjected to a gen. tie current. Lobsters should be set at liberty soon after matching, or they will begin devouring one another, and in a few weeks there will be in the tank few big fat fellows instead of a hundred little ones.
 l The propagation and distribution of fishes, however, forms but one branch of the work done by the commission. The scientific branch studies the Avarious inland waters and the ocean for new varieties to be introduced, and the statistical bureau gathers Einfor' nation as to commercial features. such as number of fish caught, prices re- ceived, number of men and ships, and amount of capital employed, etc.
 The Fish Commission owns two steam ships, the Fishhawk, and the Albatross
 and one sailing vessel, the Grampus These are especially fitted out for study
 ing fish life, and for carrying on the work of the commission. The Albat ross is equipped with the most scientific
 apparatus for deep sea soundings, anG
 for studying marine life and condition
 of temperature at great depths. A
 present the Fishhawk is in the Appal
 achee bay on the coast of Florida study
 ing and surveying the oyster beds During the summer it, witk the Gram
 pus, sailed along the Atlantic coast fol
 lowing the schools of mackerel, in orde
 to learn something of the mysterious If
 history.of this important fish. After h , mackerel season was over the Grampu went to the New Foundland banks fo cargo of live eodfish which is conveytl to Woods Holl, Mass.

CHANGES AT HAWLEYVILLE.

The New England passing into the hands of the Consolidated road has re-
 suited in a reduction of the working force at junction points, and this has been the case at Hawleyville. M. c. Mullane, whC has served a agent for the New England road at Hawleyville, has been retired, and the entire charge of affairs at this station placed in the hands of J. A. James, the present agent for the Consolidated road. MT James is an experienced rail road man, having served eight years in the office of the old Housatonic road at Bridgeport. He was appointed agent at Hawleyville about five years ago to sue ceed J. R. Smith. Mir James has been g very efficient official and is well qualified for the additional possibilities. The work at this station is somewhat ardu- Ous, as three sets of books have to be kept, for the Berkshire division, the New England and the Shepaug roads. MT James is well liked by the public and his friends are cOngratulating him on the honor conferred. MT Mullane will be given a position elsewhere in the New England service. Mir Mullane's many friends sincerely rugret his departure.
