There are many extraordinary ways
of gaining a livelihood practiced in
New York. but the queerest of all is the
occupation Of dragging for lost anchors.
At least six sloops and schooners are
engaged almost exclusively in this
trade. and the anchor hunters are as
familiar with the ground VII re anchors
are likely TO be found in the bays and
rivers along the coast. and even in the
open sea. as the fisherman IS with tie
favorite hunts Of the living inhabit-
ants Of the sea.
The method pursued in fishing for
anchors IS very simple. A chain is let
down in a loop long enough 10 drag
along the bottom. and the vessel con
tinues on her way, with all hands on
board eagerly alert for a bite and
the bite" generally results in a catch.
The recovered anchors are usually
sold again at > or g cents a pound. Five
cents is now the prevailing price, as
that is Just one cent under the market
price for new anchors. A big anchor
will weigh 5000 or 6.00O pounds; thus
the anchor fisherman makes a gross
profit on his haul Of from $3.50 TO $500.
But more often the anchor recovered
weighs from 1000 to 1000 pounds.
Nevertheless. there is said TO be 4 good
profit in the business, even at that.

OPIUM SMOKING IN THE ORIENT
Hitting the Pipe" in the Chinese
Empire and in Formosa.

Hitting the Pipe" in the Chinese
Empire and in Formosa.
To learn the actual number Of opium
smokers is impossible, but we know the
amount Of the foreign import Of this
drug and the naive confessions Of re-
formed opium smokers tells US precisely
the amount Of opium required TO pass
the yin or craving. It is one-hfth Of an
ounce daily. An ounce or lang is con-
sumed in five days, and a catty sufices
for eighty days. Four catties are
enough for 800 days, and another half
catty Will carry the smoker to the end
Of a year with comfort. A picul is
enough, then, for only twenty-five per-
sons, and $4,000 piculs is sufficient for
not more than 100000 persons. The
law of compusion in the smoker is just
as imperlous for native opium as for
foreign. 1t Is a matter Of great interest
to know the extent Of the evil.
In regard to Szechuen, that very pop
ulous and wealthy province, Mr..
Schjoth. in the Trade Report for 1898,
informs US that Szechuen produces 1OO.-
600 piculs of opium, and the cultivation
is always increasing. At Chungching.
where he is commissioner, be is told
that 10000 piculs suffice for consump-
ton in the province, and that $1,000
piculs are exported. We may conclude
that the smokers Of that province can
not be less than 660.OO0. Since the pop
ulation IS 67,O0O0O0, the number Of
smokers is one in a hundred. In Shensl
one in one hundred and forty smoke; in
Szechuen one in a hundred. In Formosa
one in fifteen is the proportion in cities
where the people are sunk to tine lowest
point of degradation. and this IS the
largest proportion yet known Of opium
smokers as compared with the general
population Shanghai China Mercury
