sTURGEoN-FIsHING INDUSTRY

Delawareans have a vital interest In
the condition OF the sturgeon-tshing
industry In the Delaware river and bay,
and many of them depend upon 1t for
a livelihood The following editorial
from the Philadelphia Public Ledger
will AFFORD them pleasant reading, for
they must OF necessity benefit by any
thing done by Pennsylvania and New
Jersey in the way Of propagation:
"The joint meeting Of the Pennsylva-
MIA and New Jersey Fish Commission,
held yesterday, to take steps 70 carry
out the law directing them to propa-
gate sturgeon in the Delaware rivei
was one OF considerable Importance,
and affects a very important industry.
For the last ten years the sturgeon
have greatly decreased in numbers in
she Delaware river, until It is no longer
profitable to fish for them. Indeed, the
work was carried on last year and this
at n considerable loss. More than ST.
100000 capital are invested in the bust
ness of catching sturgeon, fully one
half OF which is Pennsylvania money,
Some years ago Chester was an i'm
portant point for the sturgeon market,
but with the decreased catch. the bust
ness has concentrated farther down the
river en- the New Jersey shore, below
Bayside.
1t is said that until last year fully
seven-eighths OF the sturgeon eggs sold
under the name Of Russian caviar were
taken from fish captured in the Della
ware river. and the demand for this
luxury has become so great that the
price rose TO about 81 a pound whole
the fishermen became alarmed at the
rapid determination of this fish, and
that the two States readily appropri-
ated money for their antifcial propa-
cation. It is not an easy task that the
Fish Commissions have before them.
The mere Matching of the eggs is an
easy matter; the chief difficulty will
be to obtain the ripe eggs and fertilize
them. According TO estimates made
at the joint meeting yesterday not
more than one out OF perhaps six on
seven female sturgeon captured, even
after the regular spawning season be-
gins, will have ripe eggs, and then,
when one is found. there may not be
the means of fertilizing them at hand
The work, which is to be conducted at
the Bristol Station, under the direction
OF the Pennsylvania Commission, will
be largely experimental, and the re-
suits will be watched curiously by other
State Fish Commissions, and that OF the
national government. On the success
of this venture will depend other worl
of similar character being done else
where"

WOMAN'S REALM
The American Girl

Why is It the American girl can al
ways be picked out at glance
wherever she may wander in Europe?
Someone said it was her shoes that
were the earmarks, so to speak. Two
Americans strolling along one of the
bOulevards of Paris were attracted by
pair of TALL well-framed athletic
looking girls walking on the other
side They had muscular but slender
figures, fine, broad shoulders, and large
feet. They were dressed with sort of
sleek masculine neatness, in tailor
suits and turban hats, dOgskin gloves,
and heavy patent leather shoes. The
observers were speculating upon the
nationality Of the girls, knowing in an
instant that they were not Parisians.

sIInht Accident to the Indenendenoe.

Boston, June THE Lawson yacht
independence, in her second sail trial
yesterday, met with her first accident,
a not very serious jamming of the
steering gear, but sufficient to stop the
trial after an hour and a half of splen-
did sailing, during which she attained
a speed, on a reach of a little over
three miles, of 131a nautical miles an
hour. The accident led very unex-
pectedly to a most thorough test of the
yachts rigging and her big steel mast
and the result showed that it would
take a pretty severe blow to dismast
the Boston yacht. The big mainsail
suddenly gybed, and there was not a
man on the boat who did nos think the
big mast would go, but the spar stood
the strain magnifcently.
