miles from the island of San Fernando
de Noronha. 1t is fourteen miles in
circumference and from one-fourth to
one-half mile wide. At ebb tide the
reefs are almost completely out Of the
water and at high tide they are on a
level with the sea. The difference be-
tween high and low tide is about nine
feet. The bay is completely sheltered
(as shown in the sketch) and the water
within the Enclosure is about thirteen
feet deep. During low tide the EN-
trance of the bay is almost closed by
shoal. The coast in these ATTITUDES
abounds in fish, for which the Atoll das
Rocas furnishes a favorable retreat
and at the same time constitutes a
trap of gigantic proportions. This pc

numberless holes and crevasses. form

tons Of saIted or dried fish per week.

from the Atoll das Rocas, besides lob

fishing were properly organized at this
unique island, which. in fact, consti-
tutes the greatest natural fish reser-
voir and at the same time the most
gigantic natural fish trap known to
geography.
On his retiring from active service
in 1899, the Brazilian Admiral, Pedro
Benjamin de Cerqueira Lima, obtained
from the Brazilian Government the ex-
elusive right to the fishing industry at
this island for thirty years, and after
his recenf death his children inherited
the monopoly, but they are not making
use of it, and. it is said, have agreed to
dispose of their privileges to company

LOCK BUCKLE ON the COLLAR.
A combined lock and buckle for a
dog collar is a handy combination.

Such device was recently patented.
The tongue of this buckle is hardly
distinguishable from the kind used on
an ordinary strap buckle, but close
inspection reveals the fact that the end
of this tongue, instead of resting loose
ly against the cross-bar, enters slot
in the latter Inside this cross-bar is
a sliding bolt, having lug which en-
tiers a slot in the end of the tongue,
and which can be released only by
movement of the bolt in a lateral di-
rection This is accomplished by
means Of the key inserted through the
slot in the end of the eross-bar. The
pressure of the end Of the tongue on
the slanting face of the lug drives the
latter back to lock the buckle without
the use of the key, and only by mutila-
ton or the use Of the key can the lock
be opened.
