A Washington dispatch to the Boston
Herald contains the following:
Officials of the bureau CT fisheries do
not regard seriously the proposition in
the Maine Legislature to prohibit the
during the summer months.
Suppose that law is enacted" said
one of these officials to the Boston Her.
aid correspondent, Il do not see that it
could accomplish much. For years there
have been very stringent laws govern
ing fishing in most of the New England
states, but they are not enforced, be-
cause they cannot be. For example,
what is there to prevent the taking OF
Holsters off the Maine coast and their
sale in Boston. Even if there were Off
GERS in the latter city to enforce the
proposed Maine law, they could not
distinguish Holsters captured in Maine
waters from those taken elsewhere.
For 4 long time the sale of female lob
sters has been forbidden, but lobster
fisherman or dealer can scrape the
spawn from such a lobster and it
would take an anatomical examination
to identify it as different from male
of the species. The law, therefore. can
not be enforced"
The bill referred to was introduced
in the House at the last session by
Representative Hastings of Bethel
and prohibited the shipment from the
State of Holsters in the shell during
the months of June. July August ard
September 1t was claimed that trust
headed by Phillip Armour, the wealthy
Chicago beef dealer, vas behind the
bill. Both branches voted to indefinite
ly postpone the proposed measure. as
the friends of the lobster fishermen
claimed that they would be ruined.

There are at the department several
specimens OF the nests, contained in
glass Jars. In one jar are specimens
attached to leaves of the oak, apple
cherry and pear. all. OF which have
been dipped in alcohol, and are there
fore, harmless, but in the other lar are
nests on twigs. just as they were cut
from the tree. 1t is in the latter lar
that the little caterpillars are to be
seen. Inc warm air of the room has
brought them out of the dormant con-
dition in which they rested during the
winter, and they are crawling around
over the outside of the nest and the
twigs, i'll search Of the tender spring
foliage which they will, however, never
find.
The caterpillars are not over a six
teenth of an inch in lenght, but they
grow rapidly, and their appetite grows
much faster than they do. To look at
the little mites in the jar, one would
hardly believe that there could be 81
much destructiveness done up in their
small bodies. Another peculiar fact
in connection with these little cater
pillars is the amount of cold which
they can stand. They are Matched in
the late summer, and live through the
winter with only the frail nest cover
ing them. when creatures of a much
higher organism would perish. It is
known that the caterpillars can stand
a temperature of 80 degrees below zero.
