FISHES DO TAKE MAPS.
They Sleep Suspended in the Water
 With Their Eyes Wide Open.

Do fishes sleep, and how?'
 This question was addressed to Eu- gene G. Blackford, formerly fish com- missioner of New York State. His ac- quaintance with fish began when he was very young, and at the present time he Is a recognized authority all over the world.
 Certainly they sleep" was MT. Blackford's response. "They sleep suspended in the water, with their eyes wide open. I have seen them do it of ten. I have many fish in tanks with glass fronts and can watch them. Sometimes I see fish suspended in the water keeping perfectly still for half an hour at time, and then l conclude that he is asleep. He does not even move fin at such times, and the mo- ton of the gills is barely perceptible.
 Fishes don't close their eyes be- cause there is no necessity for their doing it. They have no eyelids. be- cause their eyes are not exposed to dust as ours are. They don't close their eyes in sleep because the light is so modified by the water that 1t IS not hard for them to find twilight spot.
 But they can close their eyes if they wan to do it, and they do on very par- ticular occasions. l will show you. John, bring me trout"
 The man went to tank. and soon returned, bearing in hls hand fine trout about eight inches in length. This MT. Blackford held while he took a lead pencil and touched one of it's eyes with the point. The trout wrtg- gled about vigorously, and at the same time drew an inside yellow curtain over the eye.
 You see, he can close his eyes if he chooses" said the former fish commis- sioner ""The habits or fish are little known in many respects. We have only begun to study their nigrations in a way that promises to lead to any, thing. We have captured some thou sands of cod and mackerel and put metal tags on their fins. Some of these will be caught in nets far north and south, and as they have the ad- dress of the United States fisheries commission on them that will give us an idea where the untold millions of fish that race along our shores at cer- tain periods spend other parts of the year. r."-Harper's Round Table.

should be obtained at once. On the first
 day out of new camp. keep on high
 ground as much as possible; look back frequently, so that the country. will not appear strange when you turn back, and do not try to burden your mind with too many small details. Simply remember, for instance, that if you turn to the left from the divide on which you are you will
 come into the valley of the stream on which you are camped. but if you turn to the right you will come down to a stream that flows in another direction. ALSO re- member that your camp is near Sucn and such a looking hill, or, better still, that it is in a range with two mountain peaks. It is always better on the 1rst day or two not to get out of the valley in which your camp is located, but if you should do so, go back the way that you came. Short cuts in a new country lose many a hunter.
 Always carry a compass, as there Is no way of telling the points of the com pass by means Of bark or branches that can be relied on. Remember the direction in which your camp is, and then if you get really lost sit down, build ire, ana make a big smoke. This is supposing that you have companions, as no greenhorn should be alone in camp. They will LOOK you up the next day, and 1t IS better 10 sit by fire and take it easy than It IS men are lost in the mountains who, IT they had kept cool and sat down and made a smoke would have been in camp by noon the next day. Instead or thls they lose their heads, travel clear out or the vicinity of the camp, and sometimes sui fer terribly or die Of starvation DeIOFe De- ing found.-ForeSt and Stream.

San Francisco markets have averaged as many as 1000 birds a week, and at this rate of slaughter the eXtermination of San Diego's game birds must soon follow.
 The Supervisors of Santa Clara also made a very bad move when they abol- ished the official game warden of the county; During the past two years the Fish Commissioners have stocked sew eral streams in Santa Clara County with game fishes, but now that the poachers can have full sway, it is presumed that the labor and expense that have been attached to stocking the waters of the county will prove fruitless undertaking and expenditure
 The sportsmen of Vacaville who are in- terested in the game of the country and US protection have offered @ reward of Szzo Tor any information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of persons vio- lating the game laws
 Sonoma County Supervisors evidently realize that by protecting the game of the county sportsnen will visit the towns within easy distance of the game lands and spend many dollars during the year among the hotels and livery stables. The ordinance which was recently passed by them has given black eye to market hunting. By its passage the quail and deer shooting seasons afe shortened. The killing of Chinese pheasants is prohibited for five years and it will be a violation of law to ship game out of the county. This IS a move in the right direction.

Pheasants and Eng
 fish Partridges.
GOOD SPORT IN THE FUTURE
COUNTIES WHERE THE BIRDS
 SHOULD DO WE'LL
Immense Shipments of Quail to This City From San Diego County by Market
 Hunters.

The sportsmen of California will watch with much interest how the Chinese pheasants which were recently shipped to the California Fish Commission from China will thrive in this country.
 Several experiments have been made by sportsmen who in recent years planted pheasants in counties contiguous to the coast, but success did not crown their ef- forts. The birds received by the commits sioners arrived in good condition and were planted In certain districts which are supposed to be adapted to pheasant culture.
 A crate consisting of sixteen "Mongo- Hans" was shipped from this city to the Firebaugh district and the birds were lib- erated in the lands adjacent to the San Joaquin river. Humboldt county also re- ceived its share; several birds were given their freedom on the banks of the Malate river. The Santa Rosa .Sportman's Club liberated a number of the birds in the Coast Range mountains, but as the pheas- ant is not a bird that thrives in noun tainous country 1t is thought that the ex- pertinent of the Santa Rosa club will prove failure.
 The sportsmen of Oregon have had great success with pheasants, which are very numerous now in the grain growing sec tions of that State. A recent movement WhlCn was lnaugurated by MeSSrS. J. A. Taylor, Milton w. Smith, Fred V. Hol- man and other enterprising sportsmen of Portland to introduce the gray English partridge, will aSSuredly meet with great success if carried out. A large subscrip- tion has already been received from inter ested parties and the money will be spent in the purchase of cartridges, which are, beyond all argument, the gamest and most edible of game birds known to sportsmen.
 A Portland paper compares the English partridge to the Chinese pheasant, when there is really no comparison. The pheas- ant, although more ariStocratc looking bird, is a runner almost the equal Of the road-runner, which is otherwise known as the chaparral cock, ground cuckoo and partridge is by far superior to the pheas- ant. The partridge frequents the open country and it's flight is much similar to the valley quail.
 There Is another grand English bird which should do well in Oregon, and that which affords Englishmen grand shoot ing during the open seasons. The wood cock should also do well in Oregon, but as they are very difficult of capture the be attempted unless the consideration is very tempting. The woodcock is a mil gratory bird, which has a large follow ing Of admirers in some of the Eastern States.
 The Supervisors of San Diego County certainly made a most grieyous mistake when they suspended the ordinance for bidding the shipment of game out of the county. The result of their foolish ac- ton will be the depletion of quail in a county which is visited by large num- berS of SportSmen yearly because of it's reputation as great game section.
 The shipments of quail from San Diego since the repeal of the ordinance to the
