TO PROTECT
CLANS FROM
OUTSIDERS.

Rhode Island clam diggers and shell
fishers in general are complaining against
the encroaohment OF the men from the
state line into Massachusetts,, on our
beaches and already the commissioners OF
shell fisheries have received petition
from about 10 OF the Tiverton fishermen
asking that an officer be appointed to
enforce the law on that point
The petitioners state that the men from
Fall River and other places In the neigh
boring state often come 20 the Rhode
Island beaches and dig and carry away
the shell FISH.
The law covering the offense rs a far
reaching one and II enforced would pre-
vent any man who has not lived in the
state for whole year from taking any
shell fish thing that would prove a great
hardship 20 summer residents and So
journers at our various down river re-
sorts.
Some people even including lawyers
have raised tho point as TO whether or not
the diging OF clans can be termed fishing
for shell fish.
The ma ajority OF the people seen in re-
gard 10 this matter though are unani-
nous in terming the capture OF shell Ash
in their native water or mud to be fishing.
The matter will probably be given
public hearing al the meeting Of the COM
missioners one week from Friday when
IL will probably be discussed at length

In a chapter on the artificial
cultivation of sea fish, contribut-
ed by R. 3. Marston to Ahalo's

is stated that there need be no

the cod and the herring, can ever
be extinct or even reduced in
numbers by man, except locally.
A cod Of ten pounds has a mil

Mrs. Potter Palmer is credited
with knowing more about laces
than any other woman in the
country. Lace collecting is one
of her fads, and whenever she
hears of a valuable old piece she
tries to buy it. If if is not for sale
she at least has look a. it and
learns if possible where it was
made. Wherever a bargain in
lace is to be had there you will
find Mrs. Palmer. She has visit
ed lacemakers in many countries
and has passed hours watching
them. Her collection OF laces has
grown to such proportions that
one room in her house is devoted
exclusively to it. Trunk is piled

the name of the particular lace If

Whaling Reviyinq.

In July, 1904, sperm whale
was killed off the east coast of
Newfoundland, and from the cav
ity back of the gigantic skull near
'ly $500 worth of spermaceti was
dipped. This, so far as the re-
cords show, is the fourth sperm
whale ever caught in Northern
waters. Within the last four years
whaling has sprung to a foremost
place among the industries Of
Newfoundland. For unforeseen
and inexplicable reasons these
monster mammals Of the deep
have resumed their visits to the
North Atlantic, and dozens Of
whale factories" have been built
and are now in profitable activity
along the coast of the island.
Every part OF the whale is now
utilized. Oil, bones, skin. en-
trails and flesh have places in the
marketable products Of The mighty
creatures. Bologna sausages made
from the flesh Of. the whale are
one of the most profitable pro
ducts and find ready sale in the
West Indies and in the markets
of Central and South America.

Hardwicke burned several gallons
of midnight oil preparing a story
for a popular magazine that agreed
to pay all the way from one hun
dred to fifteen hundred dollars for
successful contributions This
week Mr.. H. received a letter from
the publisher stating that his story
was ali right, and would have been
acceptable had it not been for the
fact that it contained a reference to
a certain lottery. and as the law
against publishing anything even
remotely appertaIning to lottery s

would have to be declined on that
account. However, the publishers
invited the author 10 try them
