One of the fishery problems now
confronting Canadian fishermen, ac-
acording to the New York Sun. 10
whether the sturgeon is worthy Of
protection or not. 1t is true it forms
an important item in the present list
of the fishery products Of the do
minion, but it is alleged that its de-
struction of the eggs of other fish,
especially of the various forms Of
whitefish in the great lakes, is SO
enormous that it is expedient that
any steps shall be taken in the direc-
ton of protecting it. 1t is on record
that gallons of freshly absorbed
spawn of other fishes have been
taken from single sturgeon.
At present, in the waters of the
great lakes, fishermen are prohibited
from taking sturgeon at all without
: a license, though for many years the
fish were slaughtered with almost
every conceivable implement of cap
ture. The sturgeon frequents COM
paratively shallow water, and, there
fore, is oftener taken in pound-nets
than in gill-nets. It is most easily
captured in the spring of the year,
at spawning time, when large num-
bers congregate about the mouths of
rivers.
The spawning time is often as early
as the middle of May, but in Lake
Superior, where the operation is re-
tarded by the extreme GOODNESS Of
the water, it occurs as late as July.
At this time the habits of the fish
render them comparatively defense
less; they run in schools, depositing
their spawn along seams in rocky
edges, as may easily be observed at
the head of the Niagara river. The
females are followed by the males,
both rolling over and oyer on the
bottom and then leaping from the
water : and falling back with q
splash. . .sssa 50 ~ Is

Indians often spear hem In compar-
atively deep water, even at depth
of rs to 80 feet. They use; a long
spear with detachable handle, to
the iron of which line is fastened.
In the iuse 81 this weapon the IN
dians are very proficient. - u ~
go On account of the increasing value
of the fish and it's products, last sea-
sons catch was. very much larger
than usual, and the outcry for more
protection for it has been renewed.
This increased demand is not only for
the flesh, but also for the roe for
the making of caviare. For this pur-
pose the eggs of the sturgeon are
worth so cents pound. Sometimes
a single fish produces from 100000
to 100000 eggs. At least 10000
pounds of caviare, yielding more than
$4,000, were saved by Canadian fish
ermen last year. OF the flesh, On
tario alone supplied nearly million
pounds last season.
In the waters of the great lakes,
the limit of size of the sturgeon
seems to be about hundred pounds,
but in the lower st. Lawrence and
gulf the fish attains to very much
larger size, and is sometimes taken
up to IL feet in length.

EMPIRE BUILDING.
comes More Evident Every
Day.

In the business of empire-buildinp
the Importance of athletic sports is
more than evident, says John Corbin
in the Atlantic. There is saying that
the English colonist plays cricket,
drinks Scotch whisky and fourishes
in numbers, while the French colonist
drinks absinthe and dies Of the climate.
And the humanities of sport are NO less
important that the discipline. Natives
of India. and New Zealand have learned
the delights of polo, football and
cricket while playing with English
colonists; the Egyptian cadets of
Abasayah have been made sportsmen
by means Of contests with teams from
the regiments of occupation. Ina few
short years fellow feeling and a
mutual confidence have arisen that
would otherwise be impossible in gen.
erations. Nowadays Ghoorka meets
Ghoorka in contests Of craftsmanship,
Maori meets Maori. Egyptian meets
Egyptian, and all are three partsiEng-
lishmen. Quite lately the Boer pris-
oners in Ceylon got upsa team to play
a British cricket eleven, and ended the
day by singing song, composed by
one of their number, invoking peace
and good fellowship in South Africa.
Before the general balance in favor of
British sports is wiped away there
must be many decades of commercial
and colonial reverses; and if America
is to enter into lasting competition
with the mother country, it will be
necessary not only to avoid the
faults of British sportsmanship, but
to emulate its virtues.

THE RATTLESNAKE.
Most Gallant Reptile, Always Issu-
ing "a Challenge Before He Fights.

Most Gallant Reptile, Always Issu-
ing n Challenge Before He Fights.
The rattlesnake, probably the most
deadly American snake, is really a
gentleman, as snakes go. He never
eats his own friends, as most other
snakes do, and he always plays fair
and gives warning before he strikes.
In the early pioneer days, west of the
Rockies, rattlers were frequently eaten
by hard-pressed travellers, and their
flesh is said to be as good as chicken.
Great skill must be exercised in catch
ing this snake, if he is to be eaten,
as he has a trick of biting himself
when cornered and so committing sui
eide, and in this case his flesh is as
deadly as his bite.
The maligned pig, who is known by
those who properly understand him
to be a really brave \and intelligent lit
tie beast, regards rattlesnake as the
greatest luxury and attacks and kills
them with absolute fearlessness. On
a California ranch a certain field was
so overrun with rattlers that it was
practically useless. 1t was fenced in,
and a pair of young pigs turned into
it, The pigs grew fat and sleek, and
in a short time they had gobbled up
every last RATHER. Piggiwig has been
known to attack the largest and most
deadly snakes and come off victor in
the fight.
Apropos of the well-known fact that
a RATHER will bite himself and commit
suicide rather than fall into the hands
of his enemies, the tale is told by hum
ters in the far West that a little bird,
a native of the Rockies, is extremely
interested in the determination of the
RATHER. So far as is known this bird
does not feed upon the snake, but is
actuated solely by motives of benevo-
lence in Kidding the world of these
dangerous reptiles. Seeing a RATHER
asleep or summing himself on a stone.
this thoughtful and energetic little
body flies off and returns with bits of
very prfckly cactus, which the bird
places in a little circle around him.
when the cincle tis quite complete
the enterprising bird, eager to see the
results of its toll, swooops down and
runs his bill into the sleeping snake.
which starts to move away only to
encounter the cactus over which he
cannot crawl. He turns about and
strikes the cactus again. Finding
himself unable to escape, he bites him
self and dies by his own deadly weap-
on.
A rattlesnake never goes out of his
way for a fight, but when he is at
tackled he fights desperately. A lad
who was trout fishing in a country
where rattlers abound slipped, and fell.
In falling he saw to his horror that
he was coming down on the cold body
of a large snake. He heard the rat
tie which is the snakes war cry.
He had the presence of mind in fall
ing to grasp the snake close to the
head, and hold on like grim death.
Like a flash the snakes body coiled
round his arm and frightened in an
effort to make him relax his hold. 1t
moved it's body so vigorously that
in spite of holding with both hands
he feared 1t would escape. Fortu-
nately his companions came to his as
sistance and cut the snake from his
arm before he was quite exhausted
with the struggle.
