MILLIONS OF sHAp.
Connecticut Commissioners Release
 Ten Millions.

Connecticut Commissioners Release
 Ten Millions,
 There is popular belief that there are just as good fish in the sea as any that have been caught. By next week this consolipg reflection may be strengthened by the positive knowledge that the number has been increased by about nine million. And they are good fish, too; for trey hail from Connecti- cut, and will make their mark in the social swim of the broad Atlantic before long. But these were not put there for that purpose
 The shad is known to return to it's native waters, and this instinct Is sup posed to be especially strong in the fish that has spent his early life under the influence of the excellent kindergarten training which the Connecticut river affords. This early career becomes a lifelong memory to him and he is never quite satisfied when the rowing spirit of youth is gone, and maturer years bring sober reflections, until he is once more back in his native waters. No one knows this any better than the Connecticut fish commissioners, and when they buy nearly ten million of shad fry" it is with the firm expecta- tion that good proportion of these millions will eventually be consumed on Connecticut tables.
 It was with some such vision as this that Commissioner Collins stood on the banks of the retaining pools at Joshua town, in the town of Lyme, and gave the order to raise the gates which led through a half mile of wandering creek to the broad Connecticut river beyond. The millions of little fish, from two to five inches long, did not at first req lize what had happened, but the water in the pools soon began to get low, and then there was a stir. A few venture some ones drifted out with the current and the procession began.
 Before long" said the commissioner, there was an almost solid mass of young fish passing out. A mass, rods in length, and as big around as your body, shining, wriggling little fellows, | wondering, no doubt. what had hap | pened. This would be broken for a while, and then another detachment as | big as the first, and so it kept up from ten o'clock in the morning until nearly nightfall A few were left, of course, and these will be assisted out.
 "The youngsters will hang around the mouth of the river for few days, and then, all of a sudden, they will be gone. Where? We'll, we haven't found | that out yet. I don't think we ever shall, They go to sea, and that's all we know. We know that most of them | will be matured and will again seek the l Connecticut river in about three years. Some of them will, perhaps, wait until the fourth year, but that they will come back, if alive, I have no doubt"
 These young fish were purchased, when just matched, of the United States fish commission. They came originally 1 from the Susquehanna river, and were placed in the ponds at Joshuatown last May and June. Since then they have been fed on pulverized crackers and are in first-class condition. It is be- lieved that of the nine million ''fry'' purchased but a small number have | died.
