New Hntcheries and Stations.

The number of Matching and substat:onS
operated during the year was thirty-three,
located in nineteen states New hatcheries
Manchester, Iowa; Bozeman, Mont. and
Erwin, Tenn, were completed and operated
for the first time, and a station of the Cal
ifornia fish commission, located on Battle
creek, a tributary of the Sacramento, was
acquired. AT this place the largest collec-
ton of salmon eggs known in the history of
fish culture was made in the fall of 1897.
The constructions of new stations author
lied by Congress was begun in New Hamp-
shire, Georgia and South Dakota.
An important new feature of the fish cul-
tural work was the Matching of 100000 fry
of the grayling at the Bezeman station.

WaII-Eyed Pike and Salmon.

The Matching of the wall-eyed pike (pike
perch), which had been discontinued for
several years, was resumed at the Putin
Bay, Lake Erie station, in the spring of
1898, and 100000 fry were planted in the
public waters. This is one of the most
valuable food fishes of the great lakes, and
the fishing interests are very anxious that
the government should keep up the supply
The foregoing tabulation illustrates the
marked expansion in the Matching of shad,
Pacific salmon and cod, the output of each
of which was larger than in any previous
year. Especially worthy of mention was
the immense extension of the salmon hatch
ing work on the Pacific coast. The enor-
nous annual catch in that region makes it
absolutely necessary that the supply should
be kept uD by artificial means. The work
of the commission is very popular in tie
west and its value is generally recognized
by the salmon fishermen and Gamers. Dur
ing the coming fall the work will be ac
lively pushed, and there is every reason to
believe that the take of salmon ova will be
even larger than last year.

The Leading Species.

Although there are several desirable spe-
cies of salmon in the Pacific rivers, the
commission gives principal attention to the
chinook or quinnat salmon, a magnificent
fish, which attains an average weight of
over twenty pounds and sometimes speci-
mems are taken weighing upward of sew
enty pounds. 1t is the leading species for
canning and fresh consumption. The es-
tablishment of a station in Washington will
enable the commission to pay attention to

FISH PROPAGATION
Review of the Governments Work in
This Connection.
ENORMOUS OUTPUT OF YOUNG FRY
Interesting Statistics Of the Past
Fiscal Year.
BEING SOLVED

The operations of the United States fish
commission, under Commissioner George
NJ. Bowers during the last fiscal year were
in many respects more extensive and i'm
portant than ever before owing in part 70
the natural growth of the work and in
part TO the greater efficiency in dealing
with the various questions and problems
that come up for consideration.
The propagation and distribution of food
fishes, the branch which receives most at
tention, was much more extensive than in
any previous year, exceeding by about forty
per cent the work accomplished in any other
similar period. The number of adult and
yearling fishes, fry and eggs distributed
in public and private waters or transferred
to the state authorities was over Sjoo00,-
600, of which by far the largest number
represented important commercial species,
like the shad, cod, whitefish, salmon,
fla ttish. lake trout, herring, pike perch
and lobster. In the distribution of this
enormous output from the hatcheries to
the waters to be stocked the cars and
messengers of the commission Travelled
over 10000 miles, entering every state and
territory. The following table shows the
kinds and quantities of different fishes
Matched and distributed in 1898, together
with a comparison with 1897.

LOCkJAW CURED.
Tetanus AntitOxin Injected Into IA
Mans Brain.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Passaic, N. j., Oct. 19.-Widespread an
tereet is manifested by surgeons in the
case of Aaron NJ. Hemion, who was oper-
ated upon at the Passalc Genepal Hospi-
tai last Thursday for tetanus or lockiaw.
The operation was the fret of its kind in
this country and the eighth in the world,
the seven previous ones having been Under
taken in Paris. OF the Paris operations
four are said to have been successful.
The patient who is a young son of a
wealthy resident of Passaic,, fell from a
window at Delaware Water Gap some
time ago and crashed through a skylight.
A large portion of the calf of one of Lis
legs was torn away by the glass. The
surgeons who attended him prepared to
amputate the. leg TO avert lockjaw, but
the condition of the wound became so
promising that the idea of amputatlon
was abandoned.
Ten days ago the dreaded tetanus ap-
peared and the young mans jaws were
locked. Tetanus anutoXin was injec,ed
into the general circulation, but WITHOUT
effect, and the case appeared hopeless.
Ii was then decided to inject the serum
directly into the base of the brain, which
is the seat of the nervous system. The
operation, If unsuccessful, would only
shorten his life a few hours, and if sue
cessful would save it.. The skull was
opened on both sides exposing the lobes
of the brain. The tetanus antitoxin was
Injected directly into the brain tissue
Almost Immediately upon the introduce
ton of the serum into the brain there was
a noticeable relaxation OF the muscles OF
the jaws, and the Improvement has since
been steady and constant.
1t was not until 1884 that tetanus, which
up to that time had been treated as
nervous disorder, was found to be in fact
an inoculable disease The bacillus tetani
was described in that year, but il was not
until 1889 that the famous Japanese sur
geon and bacteriolOgist, Kttasato, succeed
ed in isolating and cultivating II. KItasato
continued his researches, and paved the
way for the discovery of the tetanus anti
toxin by inoculating animals with Gull
lures, and made the important discovery
that the poisonous organism invariably re-
mains in the wound itself, and that the
symptoms Of the disease were due to the
absorption and circulation Of the prod
ucts Of the organism. In other words he
showed that lockjaw Is not directly caused
by the bacillus, but by certain poisonous
products distilled by it while lying in the
wound A9
The bacillus itself Is exceedingly minute
and has usually attached 70 it spOre
which gives 1t the appearance Of a tiny
drumstick. Tt Is extraordinarily tenacious
of life. resisting the action of boiling wa
ter for five minutes, and drying for as
long as five months c1
While the antltoxin serum Is prepared
without any special difficulty Il Is said
not to preserve Its active properties for a
longer period than one week. In order
to be effective II must be applied within
a very short time after the first symptoms
Of tetanus manifest themselves
