Portland Has CLANS to Spare.

From being very rare article, CLANS
have now come to be almost glut on the
market. There are enough on hand now to
fill all the orders being sent in, and still
down the bay with barrels of the shell fish
to dispose of to the Portland dealers, but
they are finding a rather poor market. The
CLAIMS now being received are larger than
have been sold in Portland for some time.
This is due to the low run of the tides which
have made it possible for the diggers to get
beyond the ice and dig in undug BEDS

OMIT CROP ESTIMATES.
Government VIII simply ReOprt Com
tlitions md Let Traders DO the Rest.

Washington. Dec. 25.--Members Of
the Keep commission decline to discuss
the report of that federal body on the
division of statistics in the department
of agriculture. Chairman Keep says
that the report would not be submitted
to President Roosevelt for several days.
1t is known, however, that the COM
mission has reached general conclu-
sions, and that it's recommendations
have been drawn up. There is good
reason to believe that as n result of
the inquiry the practice of making es-
Inmates Of the yield OF the crops will
he discontinued. 1t is understood that
the commission proposes modifica-
ton of the present plan. that is to say.
it will suggest that the division OF
statistics report the condition Of the
crops and the area under cultivation.
The various trades will then be at lib
erty to make their own estimates.
For long time an effort has been
made to prepare crop reports that would
not disturb the markets. and the belief
is EXPRESSED that plan has been
evolved which will accomplish that
purpose.

CAN FISHES HEAR?

A question that is constantly being de-
hated by biologists and forms tho subject
of governmental research is, Can fishes
hear? While some plausible arguments
are advanced in the affirmative. the gen
eral opinion of biologists is opposed 10
this view. and the reasons have recently
been summed up in a German otoiosicai
journal by DR. .. Korner.
Though many fishes are sensitive to
RI MD consecutive vibrations transmitted
through the water. yet it is not believed
that these are perceived by so-colled
auditory organs. for in the cases of some
twenty-five species of fish single loud
explosions were totally diregardeI. The
senses OF sight and touch in fishes can
he readily demonstrated and studied. and
there is no locicai reason why the sense
of hearing should be so difficult of de-
termination.
The most conclusive argument. how
ever Is that fishes and other vertahrates
that are deaf are the only members of
the classe that do not have organs cor
responding to the cortischian nerve ter
minatioAs These organs. 1t Is believed,
are the only ones that are capable of
transmitting auditory vibrations, as there
is no reason for believing that such
vibrations can be received by the
