Birmingham Ledger
 The Massachusetts jusice of the peace who fined an English diplomat for run ming his automobile faster than the law allows. did violate international cour- tesy. but the American people approve his way of doing. A diplomat has no right to endanger the lives Of people, because he is exempt from arrest. The justice protected his people and if he trampled on international law, he did not trample on world wide propriety.

STATES INCOME FOR YEAR
 JUST CLOSED SHOWS INCREASE

Advance figures from the annual are- port of State Auditor Thomas L.. Sow ell for the fiscal year of 1908 which ended September 30, shCSg an increase in the States income which Is nothing short of remarkable.
 The increase is marked in the returns
 from license fees. the amount of as-
 easements and the returns from the Convict Department. The most significant feature of the report is contained in the figures which
 show that the total receipts for the year just closed was only SsoO.Tl loss than the total receipts of the previous year when the tax rate was 75 cents
 on the. $100, while this year the tax rate was only 65 cents on the $to0.
 The totals are as follows:
 For 1903 .................s3. .201. $40. AZ For 1904 ................ 3,201, ,337 III
 The Convict Department makes q
 most creditable showing. This year 1t turned into the State Treasury nearly
 a half million dollars. In exact fig-
 ures the returns were $A95,109 54. This department last year turned into the State Treasury tho sum of &33S.41S 4s F The educational fund of the State last year was raised by a special one mill | tax which brought in 319, 9,727 .0S. This was. however, augmented by special
 appropriation by the Legislature of | S55O, 900. This year the special two mill tax with the poll tax, brought in l i,017,7 49 which will be distributed among the school children of the State. The pension fund was increased from $2g2, ,4O2. 82 for last year to $2S2, 402. Ss for this year.

Not content with stocking the streams. rivers and lakes of America with the most appetizing and valuable members of the hnny tribe, the United States Fish Com mission is now undertaking 70 populate the ocean. The especial object of Uncle Sam's fish experts in turning their atten- ton to new fields of activity at this -ime Is to save certain important families In the aquatic realm, such as the lobster, which are threatened with extermination, and the new move is cited here as illus trating the lengths to which this novel institution will go in its efforts to ex- tend its usefulness.
 The Fish Commission is regular branch of our national kovernment, yet. despite the important character of its work, 1t is safe. to gay thas 1t is, so far cerned, one of the nations least known activities. It costs Uncle Sam close to half million dollars a year .~ conduct is that a project of such magnitude can be carried on so cheaply. Almost half of the aggregate expenditure Is disbursed items represent the cost of maintaining the railroad cars and fleet of vessels used by the fish growers and distributors.
 The total number of fish distributed by the government has been increasing by leal- of. about one hundred million yearly. . until ,I,o now the aggregate is far the Fish Commission is carried on at 25 stations or hatcheries located at suita- ble places throughout the country. At Woots Hole and Gloucester. Mass, cod, mackerel, lobster and other important marine species are fostered and the finny babies deposited along the coast

Nr.w vorl On the Great ..ere four stations are maintained. the work Is with white fish and lake trout, in order to sustain the great commercial fisheries conducted for those species. In the in terior of the country hatcheries are main tained in Vermont. Virginia, Michigan. Iowa, Montana, Missouri. Illinois, Texas and Colorado for the i---1ortant task Of
 maintaining in the inland lakes and streams the supply of brook trout, rain bow trout, black bass, crappie and other fishes. During the spring on the Potomac Delaware and Susquehanna Rivers shad are matched and distributed in streams along the Atlantic Coast.
 The fish sharps which are employed by the government to preserve and improve one of the leading sources of food supply for the American people have been greatly aided in their work of late by the intro duction of up-to-date --echanical devices and other improved equipment for han ding and transporting lsh and eggs. Particularly has there been betterment cate water dwellers from place to place. Originally the fish were carried by mes- sengers in baggage cars on regular pas senger trains, but now the Fish Commis- sion has for its exclusive use four private cars, specially equipped with tanks air circulating apparatus and other appli- cars will hold 600 gallons of water and living accommodations are provided for the men who look after the fish.
 For marine work on the oceans the com mission is similarly well equipped. In addition to vessels of various kinds en- gagged for short intervals from time to time, the governmental Department of Fish and Fisheries has fleet of three vessels-the steamers Albatross and Fish Hawk and the schooner Grampus. The Albatross is fitted with appliances for deep-sea dredging and. collecting work. and is used for surveying and exploring ocean bottoms and Investigating marine life.

 The packing of eggs for shipment is one of the delicate duties connected with the industry. Usually they are transferred in wooden boxes of dimensions about two feet square. At the bottom of the box Is placed a thick layer of moss, then a layer of mosquito netting, then layer of eggs, followed by mosquito netting again. and so on with successive layers of moss, netting and eggs. In the case of mos. eggs it Is necessary to surround the en-

 While Uncle Sans fish experts do much of their colonizing by means of the dis tribution of eggs. they also establish new communities of members of the hnny tribe which have attained to good size. Tho kindergarten methods followed In the case of lake trout at the hatcheries on the Great Lakes may be considered repre- sentative The baby trout are kept in troughs until they are large enough to De transferred to ponds. For the first four weeks the youngsters are fed four times per day on finely chopped beef liver. As they grow older the amount of food Is increased. and when. after about three months, the fish have attained length of from one to two inches. they go to tho rearing ponds. which are perhaps s2 feet long and not more than two feet deep. A pond of this size will at the outset &C., commodate 10000 lake trout.

thorities when they undertook to deal with shad eggs upon a scale unprece- dented in the history of fish culture had considerable difficulty In discovering really satisfactory matching apparatus but final | ly they devised an automatic matching Jar Of about seven quarts capacity, which son the hatcheries devoted to shad cul- ture are frequently taxed to the limit of their capacity. and. despite the fact that the stations in question can accommodate an aggregate of 6S000 eggs, and that the average matching period is only eight days, 1t has frequently been necessary to call into requisition as temporary sup plementary hatcheries the four special cars of the commission, each of which are capable of caring for from s.OoO,00o to 0,OO0 eggs at time.
 Of late years the Fish Commission has devoted especial attention to spheres of activity wherein there has appeared 10 be exceptional need for remedial meas ures In order to save some important cliss of food products. For instance, there Is the case of the lobster, which has been threatened with extermination. Recently the commission has had one of It's steamers plying up and down the coast of Maine in search of egg-bearing Holsters, and while the yield has been by no means all that could be desired, 1t is evident that tho tide has turned, and that in time the new methods whereby there are taken and matched millions of lobster eggs that would otherwise be lost, will have an effect. Lobster eggs are hatched in jars in each of which bVVtvVV tbbs dte plhttu- STedL care ms to be exercised, however. for the little loosters, if crowded. quickly develop can nibalistic tendencies
 The scientific hshgrowers have also turned their attention to the oyster in- dustry, and oyster fattening" is to be carried on systematically and on an ex- tenslve scale, principally by securing by artificial means n more abun4ant growth of the minute plants on which the oyster feeds. Most wonderful of all Is the effort which Is to be made to produce artificial currents through the oyster beds in order to make the bivalves grow more rapidly Three plans of campaign are being fol- lowed In Fostering the oyster-namely. the providing protection from enemies of the oyster and the establishment of new oys- ter beds. The government officials have also come to the conclusion that similar steps must be taken to protect the clam industry. WALDON FAWCETT
