OUR DOMESTIC PEARLS

At all the great expositions since the CEN

government has been leading attraction
There is something about fish and fishing
that appeals to a larger proportion Of the
adult and Juvenile population than does
any other branch; and crowd is always
found in the fishery building. even when
the general attendance is small. This eN-
hibit at st. Louis occupies a special build
ing and has features of unusual excellence
and interest
The government fishery display is under
the now obsolete name of Tn ted States
commission of fish and fisheries. as the
plans were all perfected before bureau Of
fisheries was decided the new desig-
nation of this branch of the Department of
Commerce and Labor. 1t therefore hap

The Aquarium

The aquarium is a gem. The experience

constructed an aquarium which Is espe-

and salt water, facilities for cooling and
for heating the entire mass of circulating
water. electric pumps. filters. electric and

fishes. together with Holsters, crayfish.
spiny Holsters, crabs and molluSks. Loads
OF live fish from the New England coast,
gulf coast. Pacific coast, great lakes and
other regions will be brought in the special
cars of the commission as occasion re-
ouires: and a special consignment of gaudy
tropical fishes from Bermuda has been ar
ranged for in collaboration with the New
York aquarium
Among the fishes already on exhibition
are fine examples of whitefish, musca-
longe, pike, pike perch. black bass. calico
bass, and most of the American trouts:
and among salt water fishes probably the
best lot of red snappers. sheepshead etc,
ever seen in captivity. The contents Of
some of the tanks have appealed very
strongly to the farming element among the

state.
The large pool in the center Of the court
contains variety Of turtles, several stur-
geon and other large fish, but Its most i'm
portant Inhabitants are two hair seals from
the coast Of Maine. One OF these has been
a feature of several expeditions. and both
are reconciled to the exposition crowd.
The feeding of these seals Is witnessed by
hundreds OF people daily. and the amount
of Ash food they consume Is prodigious

the methods and results of the experiments

again be made productive: that sponges OF

sponges are superior in quality to the
wild sponges.

Lobster Raising.
A much more difficult problem is encoun-
tered by the biologist when he seeks to aid
the fish-culturist and legislator in restor-
ing the lobster to its former abundance
and in placing the lobster fishery on firm
basis AS is we'll known. the lobster has
undergone an alarming decrease in album
dance, owing very largely to the failure of
the fishermen to respect the laws prohibit
ing the destruction of egg-bearing and I'M
dersized Holsters. While the Matching of
lobster eggs has been carried on by the
commission on a comparatively large scale
for many years. this work has apparently
made little impression on the supply, and
the fishery is going from bad to worse in
most localities. The principal reason for
this is that the lobster fry are subject to
so many fatalities that the percentage of
Survfvals must be extremely small, and SO
the commission has set itself the task Of
deViSing means of rearing the delicate
free-swfmming fry to the period when they
go to the bottom and assume the habits of
the adults. This work has presented for
midable difficulties, and it was only after a
number Of years Investigations and exper-
lments, IN collaboration with the Rhode
Island fish commission. that the commits
sion felt in position to recommend a rear
ing method and apparatus, which are Illus
trated at the exposition by beautiful
working model representing the floating
lobster nursery now successfully operated
by the Rhode Island authorities on Nara
gansett bay. There is also shown a full
series Of artifcially reared Holsters of all
ages.
