the most celebrated of these lecturers,

Enemies of the Salmon.
From Field and Stream.

The salmon deposits it's eggs on
coarse gravel on a rapid near the
sources of a river or brook, late in
the month of October or in the early
days of November, when the water is
between As degrees and SO degrees,
and when, as has been previously said
the temperature is falling. Very many
of the eggs are lost, being washed down
by the current if rise of water
chances to occur Immediately after
they have been emitted, or through
the failure of the milt of the male to
come in contact with the ova, or
through the greed of water animals
and those of the air. Among these may
be particularized even the salmon
themselves; the minnow tribe, espe-
cially the clubs and other cyprinoids;
water insects, particularly the large
beetles; the herons, bitterns and
cranes of the air, all are inveterate en-
emies to the young salmon in embryo
or in it's advanced infancy. Even the
water ousel with it's amphibiouS hab-
its, is said to fatten on the spawn of
salmon and trout, and the willing
bug" almost ubiquitous on Northern
mountain waters, has a bad reputa-
ton as a spawn eater, particularly
when the eggs are floating on or near
the surface of the water. Nature has
her compensation always ready to do
liver; if it rains to-day, the sun will
shine tomorrow; but this gyrating
water insect, devouring fish eggs
wherever it finds them, possesses quail
tiles of taste or odor that make it re-
pugnant, as an edible, to all fishes of
the salmon family. The old saying,
dog eat dog" does not hold good as

ception in the animal kingdom.
