TRANSPORTING s
Interesting Work Carried On BY
Government Bureau.

Now that the season is at hand
when mems thoughts revert to out
door life in wood and water revels,
and dress suit and silk and satin are
replaced by the flannel shirts, skirt
and straw hat, it is a twentystO-0ne
shot that anything said about fishes
will command attention.
While society was slipping at pink
teas, or listening critically to the
stage folk at the theatre, says the
Washington Times, the United States
fish commission worked steadily to
provide these same people with good,
wholesome fish for their table and
for thei sport. The habits, neces-
stiles, and food of the various species
OF fish were being studied, and eggs
were collected and Matched under ar
tificial conditions, and the young fry
transported from Washington to
every part of the United States where
lake, pond, or e offered a suitable
habitat.
During the earlier years of the
commission the young fish were car
r1ed by messengers in baggage ears
on regular passenger trains, but as
the work increased it was found that
this method was inadequate and that
other arrangements must be made to
transport the large numbers Of fish
which We're being Matched. Accord
ingly, in 1S79-80, experiments were
successfully made in moving shad
fry in specially equipped baggage
cars, and it was found that large
numbers Of fish could be economi-
cally moved with little loss. A car
was, therefore, constructed specially
adapted for the distribution of live
fishes, the requirements of such a
car being a compartment for carrying
the fish in which an even tempera-
ture could be maintained, proper cir
culation of water and air in the ves-
sells containing the fish, and sleep
ing and living accommodations for
the messengers attending them.
A baggage car, the body OF which
was 81 feet long, nine feet ten inches
wide, thirteen feet eight inches high,
was purchased. At one end Of the
car was a room containing a stove,
sink, and berth for the use Of the
cook, besides a boiler, pump, etc., and
at the other end were two sections
OF berths, like those of q Pullman car,
which would accommodate two men
on each side. Each compartment
vas about seven feet long. In the
center OF the a was q refrigerator
compartment thirty feet three inches
long, by the full width Of the cal, and
extending up to the clear story. The
Ice was carried in two racks, holding
one ton each, which were located in
the corners of the refrigerator, d.
agonally opposite each other. Cylin-
der cans, placed in galvanized iron
tanks, nine feet four inches long,
overweight inches wide. and eight
inches high, were provided in which

rather than the doubtful promises OF

also steadily increasing and there is

to carry the fish. The tanks were
placed on opposite sides Of the car,
with a passageway between them.
An apparatus for circulating water
was arranged in the following man
ner:: In the top of the car, extending
the full length Of the clear story, was
a long semi-circular tank twelve
inches in diameter, which was filled
through the top of the car. From this
the water was brought into a six-incn
pipe extending all around the top of
the refrigerator compartment. The
pipe contained a sufficient number Of
pet-cOcks to supply the number Of
cans carried, the water being cou-
veyed to the cans in rubber tubing.
From the cans it passed into the
tanks through the same sized tubing,
whence it was drained into two-inch
pipes underneath the car, and from
these pipes was pumped up to the
tank in the clear story.
The commission now has five cars
in use, while in many respects an Inn
porvement on the car just described,
yet in the general arrangements they
are the same. They contain also a
fve-horse power boiler and an air
and feed pump. For the Transports
ton Of fry ordinary ten-gallon iron
cans, timed, are used, twenty-four
inches high, twelve inches in diam
eter on the outside. with sloping
shoulders and cover. For the trans
p%ortation Of large fish the cars are
equipped with twenty-five tanks hold
ing ffty-two gallons each. They are
twenty-seven inches square by TWEEN
ty-four inches high and are of gal
vinized iron. The supply of water is
carried in the iron pressure tank To-
Gated in the body Of the car.
To supply sufficient air circulation.
the air is driven by a pump to a thir-
ty-gallon reservoir OF the top of the
car, from which it is taken to the
transportation tanks or cans through
ten lines Of iron piping running along
the sides and top OF the car. One pet
cock is placed in the pipe for each
tank to be supplied with air. From
the pet-cock the air is carried into
the tank with rubber hose and releas-
ed in the water through liberators
made Of American linden, placed in
hard rubber holders.
Fry are carried in cans, and year
lings and adults In the transportation
tanks. Great care is taken not to
make a sudden change In the temper.

lions are not used, it Is necessary to

can.

half the water in the can. This is
then thoroughly aerated in the pail
with a dipper and returned to the can
with a small amount of fresh water
added. When a car arrives at its
designation the ans are taken to q
gunboat or steamer and carried to
the grounds where the fish are to be
planted. On board the boat they are
given fresh water as fast as is re-
quired to keep them alive.
Shad fry are carried in water at q
temperature of from so to IS degrees,
depending on the temperature Of the
water in which they were Matched.
Each can contains 10000 to 10000
fry. These fry cannot be carried sue
cessfully with the circulation sys-
tenn of water or air, and aeration by
the use Of the dipper is therefore nee
essary. When the water is to be
changed it is drawn off through q
siphon into q pail, the head Of the
siphon being In a wire cage, covered
with cheese cloth, to prevent the fry
form escaping. After the water in
the pail has been thoroughly aerated
and ice added to secure the desired
temperature, 1t is poured back
through q large funnel, which reaches
nearly to the bottom Of the can. To
prevent the force of the water from
injuring the delicate fry, the lower
part Of the funnel for about six inches
is made of perforated tin. During
long trips the sediment collecting on
the bottom Of the cans is removed
by drawing it of through a siphon
into q pail. Should any fry come
out, they are returned to the can by
dipping them out after the sediment
has returned to the bottom Of the
pail. II a trip lasts five or six days,
the cans are cleaned every other day
by transferring the fry with a dipper
from one a to the other and clean
ing the empty can before the fry are
returned to it. Shaa fry are more
tender than any other young fish
moved on the cars, and the greatest
care is necessary in handling them.
Trout and salmon fry are moved
in cans containing from 1900 to 1000
young fish. These fish r moved
as soon as the sacs are absorbed.
It IL well to state here that when the
newly Matched fish comes out Of the

young fish and supplies It with nour-

DEATH OF LUcIUs STEVENS.
An Aged Resident of West Haven-Oc
 cl1rred Last Night.

An Aged Resident of West Haven-Oc-
 cured Last Night.
 Lucius Stevens, prominent aged resident of West Haven, died at the
 New Haven hospital about 10 o'clock
 last night of old age and general breaking down in health.
 Lucius Stevens, son of Newton Stew ems, was born in West Haven at the old | Stevens homestead on Elm street, at | the head of Savin avenue, in the year 1915. He attended the district school and worked upon his fathers farm un- l til he was about sixteen years of age, when he commenced to learn the shoe makers trade of his father, who was then in the shoe manufacturing busi- ness, carried on in shop attached to the old homestead. At the completion of learning his trade" in about 1898, he entered into a co-partnership under the firm name of Stevens &s Smith, and opened a shoe store in Montgomery, Al abama. MT. Stevens manufactured the shoes at West Haven and sent them to MT. Smith, who had charge of the store. They discontinued business south at about the time the civil war broke out, MT. Smith going to California and MT. Stevens going to Waterbury Conn.,, at which place he opened shoe store, making speciality of custom made boots and shoes, remaining there until about four years ago, when, owing to advanced years, he was compelled to retire.
 At the age of eighty-one he came back to his old home in West Haven where he was happy in his declining years, having never known what it was to be sick until within the last few months when he began to fail in health with a general breaking down, taking pleasure, however in playing upon his flute and singing the old familiar airs so dear to him. In his younger days he was identified with singing schools and led church choirs. In his day and gen. eration he was one of the leading men of the village, and upon his recent re- turn to the place of his birth the old familiar faces had gone and no one was left with whom to talk over old times. He lived and died in the full | belief of a risen Lord and Saviour, hRv- ing been a member of the Congrega- { tional church for over fifty years
 Tn 1S40 he married Elizabeth, daugh- ter of Eliaklm Kimberly, of West Ha- ven. She died in 1S45, leaving two sons, ' Franklin (now deceased), who left widow and one son. and Edwin, whQ now lives in Miles City, Montana. or a family of twelve children there now Y survive him two sisters and two broth ars they being Mrs. Sarah R.
