saw sturgeon in Victoria, on the
cannery floor, says writer in the To-
ronto Globe, measuring twelve feet by
the tape and weighing more than six
hundred pounds. Any one wishing to
deceive the public by aid of prevari-

uncommon fish, though the biggest on
the floor; that they often found them
far larger and weighing as much as

Two men lifting half-ton fish into
their boat is the exciting feature Of
sturgeon fishing. The sturgeon, if not
fastened in his thick hide, is apt to
resent it. He shakes head in en-
phatic dissent; and head three feet
long and as big as a log, when vigor-
ously shaken by half-ton body, is a
thing to be avoided. The tail, too, is a
source of danger, for it not only slaps
with energy, but can cover large sur
face with one application. The man
new at the business is apt to get hurt

Bootblack Supplies,

A business that has sprung up in
New York in recent years is that of
bootblack supplies. 1t owes its origin
to the growth of the city, the multi
plication of bootblack stands, and the
introduction and extensive use of col
ored shoes. There are now a number
Of concerns, small but complete estab-
lishments, devoted to this business,
that supply everything bootblack re-
quires, and his requirements are great
er than they formerly were.
At one place there are kept on hand
sixty-f1ve varieties of shoe backing or
polish, for shoes of all kinds and col
ors, including blackings and polishes
in boxes and bottles, and imported
blackings as well as domestic, and wa
terproof blackings and oil. There are
sold here cans for oil and for water;
backing pans, the small round pans
made to hold a larger quantity of
blacking than would be contained in a
blacking box; brushes of all kinds, in
Guiding daubers, dust brushes, and
backing brushes, whisk brooms and
shoestrings Of various kinds and col
ors.
Some of these establishments send
out supply wagons. which regularly
make the rounds Of their customers

AMERICAN SHIPPING.
A Decrease In the Tonnage, Due to
the War.


Washington, Oct Incomplete re-
turns received by Commissioner Cham
berlain of the navigation bureau of the
treasury department show that the
documented American shipping on June
so, 1898, comprised 22,705 vessels, of
4,747,73S gross tons, compared with p,
6SS vessels of 4.769,020 tons on the like
date in 1897. The decrease of 19, ,2S2 tons
is more apparent than real, as 1000
tons of this amount is due to dropping
fractions Of tonnage in the accounts,
and 81, ,735 tons were sold to the navy
and war departments to carry troops,
supplies and provisions, and have
merely changed employers.
The total steam tonnage amounts to
ZIP vessels, of 2,371, ,923 tons, compared
with $3.50 vessels, of 2,35S,55S tons, for
theT.revious year. The vessels sold to
the government were all steam vessels,
so the true increase is greater than the
figures Indicate. Sailing vessels have
decreased from 1904, 153 tons for 1897, to
1,S53S27 tons for 1898. Documented ca
nal boats ard barges amount to 541, ,9SS
tons. compared with SOC, ,309 tons for the
previous ear. The increase is chiefly
in barges. which are superseding sail
vessels, especially in the coal trade.

for 1897. to $685. 739 tons for 1898. The
lakes TONNAGE shows a slight increase,
1,4SI, $50 tons, compared with 1,41O, ,1O5
tons. The new Alaskan trade has in
creased the Pacific coast marine from
AS. .012 tons to 494. 7S7 tons. Western
rivers have decreased from 272, ,109 to
2Gl,7 tons.
The effect of the war is shown in the
sale of 81 vessels, of 35,411 tons to for
eigners, compared with sales OF S,24S
tons the previous year. The sales were
chiefly due to high premiums on Amer
lean vessels and cargoes demanded by
insurance companies during the brief
period while mines and torpedoes were
being placed in our harbors. The ef-
feet of the war is also shown in the ad-
mission by acts of congress of 27,S24
tons of foreign vessels to American reg
istry, chiefly Tor transport purposes.
During the preceding eight years only
t,5, ,902 tons We're so admitted.
