Important Investigations.
Commissioner Bowers has evinced a live

bureau, and under his administration a
number of important Investigations have
been carried on. Among these is a very
comprehensive biological survey of Lake
Erie, the result of which will permit of
more effective and intelligent dealing with
the problem how to maintain the fish sup
ply OF the lake, than has heretofore been
possible. This work is under the imme-
diate direction of Prof Reighard of the
University of Michigan.
File Fish Rediscovered.
An important step taken by the commits
sioner for the encouragement of biological
research has been the re-equipment of the
laboratory at Woods Hole and the decision
to keep the laboratory open throughout the
year The facilities here afforded for orig

large number of scientific people during
the present summer, and many very in
teresting questions, some having a prac-
teal bearing on fish culture and the COM

outgrowth of the scientific work at Woods

putting the oyster industry on a more sub

leElng OF oysters for market were coutin-
ued at Lynn Haven, Va. where the COM
mission has constructed special ponds for
the purpose. The prevalence of the green
oysters in the Chesapeake region and else-

examination of the subject, that confirmed
previous tests.
