THE STORM KING,

/ am Storm-The King
j live in fortress OF fire and cloud.
You may hear my batteries, sharp and
loud,
la the summer night
When j and my lieges arm for the fight,
Aud the birches moan,
And the cedars groan,
As they bend beneath the terrible spring
OF Storm-rhe King
/ am Storm-rhe King!
Ny troops are the winds and the hail and
the RAIN
My foes the lakes and the leaves and the
grain,
The obstinate oak
That guards his front to my charge and
stroke,
The ships on the sea,
The blooms on the lea.
And they writhe and break as the war
guns ring
OF StoFm-The King!
am Storm-The King!
| saw an Armada set sail from Spain
To Tedden with blood a maiden's reign
l baffied the host
With blow in the face on the island coast
And tore proud deck
To splinters and wreck,
And the Saxon poets the praises sing
Of Storm-The King
/ am Storm-The King!
j scour the earth and the sea and the air
And drag the writhing trees by the hair
And chase for game
The desert dust and the prairie fame,
The mountain snow,
And the arctic foe,
And never is folded plume or wing
OF Storm-The King!

| built In Hokkaido the first salmon
hatchery in Asia With this as n model
and centre salmon culture in Japan
has steadily grown, until there are now
eighteen salmon hatcherles in HOnshu
and HokkaidO. and Japan has become
| the only competitor of the United
States in the artificial propagation Of
salmon.
The carp has been cultivated from
very ancient times and now receives
much attention. In the Toxic district
alone 225 acres of pools are devoted 10
carp culture, and the annual crop Is
upward of 100000 pounds, valued at
$4,000 In one village in the Gifu
prefecture $50 acres Of paddy fields
in which there is growing rice, have
recently been devoted to carp culture
by the local agricultural society, and
25,000,00O young fish are now procured
there annually and sold for stocking
purposes. 1t Is a significant fact that
the carp not only does not injure the
rice plants, but benefits them by de-
vouring destructive insects, whereas

GOLDFISH FARMS.
rne goldfish receives more urtent,o,,
than any other species, and the place
1t holds in the affections of the masses
illustrates one of the racial character
istics of the Japanese-namely the love
for the beautiful and ornamental, aud
the time and money all classes bestOw
on things that appeal to the esthetic
rather than to the mercenary and prac-
! teal. Although the goldfish occurs in
wild state in Japan, it is probable
that China some 400 years ago fur
nished the stock from which the won
derful varieties of japanese goldfish
nave been bred 1t is reported that
in feudal days, even when famine was
abroad in the land and many people
We're starving, the trade in goldfish
was fiOurishing. The demand at pres
ent appears to be without limit, and
the output shows a substantial in
crease each year. Many thousands
of people make living by growing
goldfish for market, and hundreds of
peddlers carry the fish through the
streets and along the country roads
in wooden tubs suspended from a
| shoulder bar.
The leading goldfish centre is Kori-
yama, near the ancient capital city
of Nara. Here are $50 independent
breeding establishments, whose yearly
product runs far into the millions. One
farm which visited was started 40
years ago; at first it was conducted
merely for the pleasure of the owner,
but 1t eventually became commercial
enterprise and is now very profitable.
The history and methods of goldfish
culture in Japan constitute a very en-
| gaging theme, not less interesting to
the biologist than to the fish culturlst.
Some of the current American ideas
of the manner in which the remarkable
varieties have been produced are pre-
posterous, and evoked much merriment
among the Japanese when l mentioned
them.-NatiOnal Geographic Magazine
