Something over a generation ago lop-
sters could be bought at retail hereabouts
for from six to eight cents pound.
But the demand for the delectable crus-
tacean has grown with the population
and the supply has decreased in proper
tion SO that the srtihcial propagation OF
Holsters is now being undertaken at vari'
Gus points.
The annual report OF the Rhode Island
commissioners of Inland Fisheries made
to the Assembly, the other day devotes a
good share OF space TO our local lobster
fisheries and consideration Of the matter
OF maiptaining the stock in these
waters and keeping II up TO the ever
increasing demand. Chairman South
wick OF the lobster sub-commission
has written an interesting and in
structive paper on the subject from
which il appears that the growing market
for Holsters is not alone responsible for
their comparative scarcity. They have
lot 10 contend against beside the
"short" lobster fishermen before they at
tain their best growth which requires an
existence OF perhaps four or five years.
"Perils are ever present with them,
writes Mr.. SoUTHwIcK after considerable
investigation. "At no period of their
lives are they safe from natural enemies;
the Goldfish, haddoclS and the black fish
prey upon them in every condition OF
their existence, large or small, hard or
soft shell, but their greatest danger is
during the moulting period, when they
become the most helpless creatures in the
world, and are eagerly devoured by all
sorts OF fish life and their own cannibal-
istic propensities justify the belief that
they materially aid in the destruction OF
their own kind regardless OF coaDguini-
ty. In this the Holsters have no better
record than other fishes, and our expert
ence with the young shows them not a
whit behind the W orst characters among
fishes We have seen small schools
of msckerel and also butter fish
after them q. q. the hatch from
the eggs that rise to the surface)
as soon as liberated and swallow them as
a hungry fowl would grain; that made us
think shat since they were 80 soon done
for, that must be what they were begun
for.'"
The 'remedy, Mr.. soUTHwIoK thinks,
for saving the lobster from wholesale
gobbling up by human fishermen before
they have reached good size, and from the
capturing OF egg bearing Holsters is not
to. be found IN passing "short" lobster
laws which are difficult to en- force, create
conflict, and,make much expense, but tc
have the State purchase egg bearing lob
sters and "short" Holsters ~ they are
caught, replace them in the water where
they would be protected from further fish.
ing and from other fish. Such preserves,
to be successful, should be established in
cooperation with other States and the
general government.
Operations in lobster culture are now
carried on on a big scale by the United
States Fish Commission, the preserves, or
hatcheries, being at Woods Holl, Mass.
As many as seventy millions OF young
Holsters have been placed in the water
from this hatchery In year, and It's op-
eratious are constantly being enlarged
and extended

4 RAYS USED ON ANIMALS.
They Have Proved of Great Benefit In
Veterinary Surgery In England.

Although the excitement caused by
the discovery of the SKI rays has in d
great measure abated, experiments are
being quietly prosecuted in many
laboratories with view of widening the
range of utility already suggested by
Prof. Roentgen's discovery.
In one new experiment in Germany
the human body was subjected TO the
action of the rays through an apparatus
of special design, which enabled spec
tators 10 clearly observe the action of
the diaphragm, heart and stomach. An
other interesting demonstration was
made in England, where the Roentgen
rays were applied to animals without
anaesthetlcs, more particularly for
diagnostic purposes. Where radio
graphs of living animals are ordinarily
taken the subject has to be kept STILL
either forcibly or by anaesthetics, but
in this case the animals were moving
when the pictures were taken.
The first application of the rays was
made to two horses knees, one OF
which was broken kneed. Two excel
lent photographs were obtained, which
clearly show the difference in the two
cases. These results promise TO be OF
great service to the veterinary surgeon,
as such an application of the tx" ray to
moving objects promises to do away
with the extreme tediousness and diff
Guilty of keeping the subject perfectly
quiet during the prolonged exposure.
Although in this instance the horses
moved freely about during the time
they were photographed the lines of the
picture were perfectly sharp. The
scientist who conducted the experiment
says that, although he would scarcely
yet undertake to successfully radio
graph a vicious horse galloping round
a paddock, he will guarantee that the
spinal column of a circus horse as it
trots around the arena can be distinct
ly reproduced in an "X" ray picture.
It is proposed by the application Of
this system to make n series of radio
graphs OF the wild animals at the Lon.
don zoo. The special apparatus required
will, 1t is expected, be placed ON the
market by leading firm of scientific
instrument makers in London at an
early date.-N. Y Journal

In spite of its having carried Moham-

rate over two hours. Its usual speed
is five miles an hour-a slow pace, be-
yond which it is dangerous to urge it,
lest, as Asiatics say, it might break
its heart and die literally on the spot.
When a camel is pressed beyond this
speed, and is spent, it kneels down,

A Significant Misprint.

1t is probably owing to the scarcity of

parently, for several arrests were made
in the establishment of the printer.
