THE VANISHING LOBSTER.
In Spite of All Efforts the Dearth still
Continues.

The annual report of a deaith in
lobster fisheries has made it's appear
ance reinforced by the United States
fish commissioner who reports that
each year it becomes more difficult to
obtain lobster eggs along the New
England coast. This decrease is most
noticeable south OF Cape Cod. Meas
uros for the protection or ostensibly
designed for the protection of lobster
fisheries are an established feature of
annual legislation on the North At
lantic egaboard. In 1899 the Maine
legislature reduced the penalty for the
taking of short Holsters" from So 10

atty in The same year. In 1890 flassa-
chusetts adopted a law prohibiting
Holsters from being caught in the
waters within or adjacent to that state
by any one not having been a resident
OF 1t for one year. and the same legla-
luture made it unlawful to sell, or to
have on hand, a lobster of less than

cries, on petition OF so citizens, to lay
off shoals or rocks for grabbing

statute for regulating the catch. sale
export and canning of clans, oysters
and Holsters. The two states whicn
have adopted the most comprehensive
and stringent methods for the regula-
tion of deep water fisheries are Mary
land and New Jersey. Massachusetts
and Virginia have followed. while New
York and Connecticut have fewer,
though New York is the great lobster
consuming constituency of the United
States and probably of the world.
Although 60.00000O lobster eggs
were planted in New England water,
the lobster dearth still continues in
consequence of constantly enlarging
demand. High prices are the rule and
recourse has been had TO the waters
of the Pacific coast as a source OF ad-
ditional supply and the propagation
of Holsters there is said to have been
attended thus far with great success.

details OF the rescue of Explorer Harry

Siberian coast came in letter today
from Nome under date of June 20. 1t
seems they were rescued by Captain
Cottle. of the whaler William Bales,
and not by the Thetis, as first reported.
De Windt and his companion, George
Harding. left Paris last December, in
tending to perform an overland journey
across Asia to America. via Behring
Strait. They travelled to Yakutsk and
proceeded thence by reindeer team to
Mini Kolyminsk. the most southerly
settlement in Russia, and from there
travelled a distance of over 800 miles
eastward across Siberia.
Captain Cottle found the two eXplor-
ers at Whadyluk, an uninhabited cove
visited occasionally by passing whalers.
Whadyluk is situated in 66:10 north lat
itude.
De Windt and Harding had a terrible
trip across the country. Their pro-
visions were almost gone, and they had
reached the coast only TO find that the
ice had gone out of the Straits and that
it was impossible to accomplish the
perilous feat OF crossing the Straits on
the ice.
The captain supplied them with pro-
visions He stated that he believed they
will make their way across in native
