Experiment with Marked Salmon.

Last year 26 salmon, caught afte1.
freshet at 4 boom III the Weser river,
near Oeynhausen, were marked by in
Producing a numbered clamp of the
kind used to fasten papers together in
the large fin on the back. Circulars
were then sent by the German fish com
missioners to all people interested
along the river that these 26 salmon hat!
been returned to the river, and in the
interest of piscicultnre it would be de-
sirable to know when, where and at
what weight the fish were caught
again. Until recently but two of these
fish had been caught. one of which had
assembled the river fully IS miles, while
the other was caught at considerable
distance below the point where they
were first taken and returned to the
wet element. Both of them had in.
creased in weight and size, the respec-
tive data having been given to the fish
commissioners. Two weeks ago three
of the fish were caught togeth her by one
fisherman at the mouth of the Wescr
river, where at this season salmon will
ascend the stream in schools. Cousid-
ering that it is nearly year and half
since these fish were returned to the
river it is certainly very strange that
three of them should be found together

eggs have been boughtly the Natal gov

that zoe, 100000 locusts have thus been

up to date IS $4,000.

he would inspect the hospital there the

call for volunteers, however, and when
the president appeared he found all the
beds occupied by convalescents.

He had just lost his second wife and 7

spirit and forbearing disposition. He
proceeded till felt my eyes growing
hot and salty. His recital of her many
virtues touched my heart. "Ah, yes, old
fellow, I know it is hard to lose her.
but you must try to bear up under
the af1iction like man," whimpered,
seeking 10 comfort him. II will! 7
