NAMES SCALLOP FISHERS.
A New Industry There, but IT'S Proved q
Profitable One.

Profitable One.
BAR HARBOR, Aug. ga new industry
for tho fishermen of the Maine coast ID
that OF catching scallops. 1t has already
proved profitable, and hundreds Of men
are engaged in the work. They drag with
huge nets the bottoms Of the bays and
harbors and take out thousands Of gallons
Of these shell fish. Tho fishermen about
Buehil and Frenchman's bays are all at
1t. Scallops were discovered in the latter
bay only last spring.
The scallops live in deep or shoal water to
suit their taste, and, in sense, are migra-
tory. They are found in shoal water during
the summer, and in the winter they live in
deep water. In tho summer they cling to
soft bottoms, and in the winter prefer sandy
places. They are often seen in huge clus-
ters and sometimes found piled up on one
another several tiers deep.
Great beds Of them have been discovered
in BMehill and other bays ten feet in depth
Near Bartlett's Island last winter Ernest
Moore Of Bass Harbor and-his companion
ran their boat upon what they supposed
to be a ledge. 1t proved to be q scallop
bed Of great size and density. The seal
lops were piled up in windows and
cocks, just "a though some farmer fisher
with q pitchfork. Tho men made . small
barrels and barrels Of scailops, for which
they found q ready market
In the winter scallops bring the fishermen
in Boston and New York about $3.50 per
gallon. A hundred soallops will yield
gallon OF sweetmeats. The fishermen last

catch ranged from 40 upward. They

atlng on the west side Of Mount Desert
Island for several winters with marked
SUCCESS. Tho coming fall will see still
larger dest In Frenchman.s Bay, since seal
lops In untold numbers have been found
there. There Is no fishing there now, for
the soallops are not so good In the summer,
and sell at q low prizes.
The scallop boat has power and derrick.
A large, strong net with . hvo or six foot
iron plate at its mouth, attached 10 iO
fathoms Of rope, is the equipment for scrap
ing the fish from their deep sea beds. When
by . small windlass run by q naphtha
engine Of several horsepower.
II Is the practise of lobstermen on the
Maine coast to build huge pounds and
when Holsters are plentiful and cheap in
tho summer to put them In these pounds
and keep them until the following winter.
The scallop fishermen believe that they
can reap . harvest in the same way BY
catching up soallops In summer and keep
ing them In pounds or cars until the price Of
scallop meat goes up. 6callops will live
and thrive In car 20 well - holsters.
The experiment has been tried with good
results.

There was much ado IN = provincial
town year or two ago when Ars. Fielding,
the wife Of the leading draper, came across
. packet Of her husbands bdllst-doux aoei-
dentally dropped by one Of the young lady
assistants, says Psdvson's Weekly.
A Mrs. Fielding was emphatioally not
4 woman to b. trined with. naturally the
young lady had ct once to go Nor was
poor Fielding long IN following.
The next step taksn BY the energetic
Mrs. Fielding was to exhibit al the letters
In the shop window. This caused such
crowd to assembls that the police had to
threaten tho Ady with /. sunainosls for
obstruction
Eventually, however. q sadder and .
wiser Mr.. Fielding was readmitted into his
own house and his wifs's good graoes.

Russian Cruisers at Manila.

The Japanese probably do not care
how long the three crippled Russian
cruisers are permitted to stay in
Manila. They have means of ascer-
tanning when they will sail-means so
broad and accurate that even fog will
not aid the Russians to escape-and
they will either capture or sink them,
japan is not therefore particularly in
terested in the outcome of the contest
that Rear Admiral Train has con-
cocted. Neither Rear Admiral Train
nor Governor General Wright can safe
guard the Russians after they put 10
sea loaded up with American coal,
American provisions, American re-
pairs. If not American ammunition
and American gunners.
But it does concern us what Japan
thinks of our conduct, our so-called
neutrality, after the present war Is
ended. Those three Russian cruisers
should have been required in all re-
spect for neutrality between the two
warning nations, to have left Manila IN
1wenty-four hours, or else to have
been informed. Neither has thus far
been required of them. The Russian
ship at San Francisco was required tc
do this. and she Is now interned with
in the Golden Gate, and will stay there
until peace is declared. What is good
international law at San Francisco
should be good international law at
Manila.
If the three cruisers could sail away
well supplied, the United States should
and would be held accountable for
every bit of damage they do, but luck
lily for all, they will not sail away
Japan will take charge of them after
they cross the three-mile limit. She
has very taking ways.

Reactionary Romanoffs.

Governor General Trepoffs powers
have been increased, and he is now
virtually dictator at st. Petersburg,
while the Gar is interned at Tsarskoe-
. Selo. 1t may become advisable to in
tern Trepoff also.
The increase of powers in Trepoff
is granted in order to enable him to
crush out every vestige of the agita-
ton in favor of constitutional rule and
governmental reform. The autocracy
is to be preserved, including the grand
dukes. bureaucrats and graft-all are
considered sacred and are to be pre-
served.
1t is also said that peace negotia-
lions are not to be even considered.
AS the brutal bureaucrats put it, 1t Is
cheaper to continue the war than to
pay Japan huge indemnity. The
slaughter of thousands and tens OF
thousands of peasants does not con-
Germ them, for they have no intention
of going to the front.
The Romanoffs, like the Bourbons.
learn nothing and forget nothing. They
will cling to autocracy and the war to
the bitter end, and that end will in
clude both revolution in Russia, and
humiliation in the Far East. Nothing
is more certain in this world than the
fact that a thousand Russians cannot
whip on any field thousand Japan
ese. A thousand Russians equipped
by the bureaucrats are helpless before
like number of Japanese. The lat
ter are intelligent, highly patriotic,
we'll led, and well equipped. They are
invincible, as Oyama will soon make
plain.
