Tagging Marine Animals for Sciences Sake

the mouths OF the streams in which
they were hatched and to which they
return when they are old enough to
breed. Some of the tagged salmon, by
the way, were caught in the deep sea
off the coast by fishermen.
1t used to be supposed that shad
made an annual migration, up the At
lantic coast, entering the rivers sue
cessively as they proceeded north
ward; but now it is known that they
spend most of the year, like the salmon,
in the deep sea off the mouths of the
rivers in which they were matched,
feeding on the bottom and never go
ing very far away. When they are old
enough they enter the rivers to spawn.
Perhaps some more facts of interest
and value might be ascertained about
the shad by utilizing the tagging plan
with them.

soonest models of last year that has
been brought out again this season is
of black, trimmed with broad bands of
lace so heavy as to look like cutwork,
the lace being ecru in color.
Almost without exception the wraps
are made collarless, thus following the
fad for low collars, but when the win
ter sets In it is a question whether
the fashion will be so popular, as
high collar that can be turned UP is
great protection against cold. But
then, on the other hand, it is to be
fashionable to wear handsome furs,
and so perhaps the fur neck pieces will
answer all the purposes of keeping off
the cold that the high collar was
once supposed to serve.
Bishop Sleeves on Wraps
The bishop sleeve is seen on some of
the new wraps, and in fact loose
flowing effect of sleeve and mantle COM
| bined seems to be one of the charac-
| teristics of the newest model. In
heavy silk it does look very much like
a bishops robe, and is not ungraceful
in cloth. 1t is certainly original and
now that women are learning to wear
these loose garments they do not seem
so ungraceful as they did (the gar
ments. not the women); but there
would seem to be an unnecessary
amount of material used in such
mantles for it is necessary to have a
great deal of material in. order to carry
out the fashion as it is intended.
Even the circular cloak is made very
full-this in order to cover the skirts,
which are now abnornally wide. The
sleeves on these cloaks are cut in with
the cloak, or, if the cloak be very full,
| there is no sleeve-simply an opening
| through which the arm is thrust. 1t
has often been commended that cir
cular cloak lacks warmth on account
| of the sleeves but, as the fashion is
one that is intended only for a wrap
| the sleeves are not so necessary. The
cloak is not possible to walk in and Is
merely intended to be put on over
gown that requires to be protected.
! After all, there is more that is prac-
tical in the fashions of the present
day than at first appears. A wrap is
a wrap and a coat is coat, and, al
though all this necessitates having

it's native river? How old is it when
it seeks fresh water to spawn? These
were one or two of the questions which
the experts were unable to answer.
BY tagging many of the young fishes,
however, and liberating them the re-
quisite information was obtained with
the utmost accuracy. Each tag bore
a date showing the age of any adult
fish salmon that was caught thus tick
eted. The age of spawning was found
to vary a good deal with the species,
but the tags used in number of riv-
ers on the west coast proved that these
finny creatures never go far away from

considerable success in the case of lob
sters, four hundred and seventy-nine of
which were liberated recently in Buz-
Yards bay and adjacent waters. Not
withstanding the fact that the Greek
and Portuguese fishermen who own
most of the lobster pots in that vicinity
were disposed to retain the tags in
their possession for use as charms,
seventy-siX were returned. When the
much useful knowledge about the move
ment of the animals was secured; and
incidentally it was discovered that
these crustaceans are much more rapid
travellers than had been supposed.
Some of those released were found to
have journeyed ten miles or more with
in forty-eight hours.
One naturally thinks of the lobster as
a slow-moving creature. 1t is such, in
deed, on land; but in the water it can
not only run with great rapidity, but
vim also with a swiftness that would

The tags were fastened to the lob
sters' noses. When experiments were
made by the fisheries bureau not long
ago for the purpose of keeping tab on
salmon after they went to sea the
pieces of copper were attached. neces-
sarily to the back fins of the fishes. The
salmon, as everybody knows, is a deep
sea fish, which runs up the rivers to
spawn. Hatched in the upper waters

its way to the ocean and stays there
until 1t is ready to reproduce it's species.

And nothing to do but go.

u INGENIOUS government scientists
i have devised novel and curious
means for keeping track of the
movements of marine animals-such,
for example, as the edible crab, whose
perambulations in it's native waters
have been found worth studying. 1t has
been ascertained that, for some un-
known reason, nearly all of the female
crabs in the Chesapeake are in the
lower bay-a fact in all probability
having something to do with the dens-
ity of the water-and the United States

light shade is very fashionable at the
moment, while light tan, always fash
ionable, and light gray look very well
when made after this model. There
are more black cloth wraps to be
seen now than there have been for
some time and they are made brighter
by touch of color around the neck
or in the facings.
They, too, are sometimes trimmed
with lace, and in fact one of the hand
Los Angeles herald., 1905-09-10

lace. An old fashion that has been
revived calls for elaborate braiding on
the cloth and then facings of the lace
These garments have no reference
to any special gown and are emphatic
ally wraps to be worn at any time.
For elderly women they are very at
tractively made in heavy silk and
trimmed with the heavier qualities of
lace. A curious fad that has suddenly
come in is the more or less vague style

again this autumn, and they are smart
worn with any style of gown. BY
rights they should not be included
among the wraps, and yet, as they
are made to wear with different gowns
they come under the head of separate
garments.
The medium length loose coat is very
useful and practical, and is made up
in tan cloth or gray. Just as it has
been for some time past and on very
much the same lines. There are also
loose coats-very smart supposedly
that are made of rough cheviot.
The silk coats and cloaks as carriage
wraps have not in themselves a great
deal of warmth, so they cannot be
worn very late in the autumn; but the
fad is to have them interlined. and as
soon as possible to wear with them
the neck pieces of fur marabout feath-
ers. They are rather clumsy garments
and are only suited for what they are
known Miscarriage wraps. But they
are possible for evening wear when
more elaborate style of cloak is not
required.
The cloth coat that has three or
four capes hangs loose from the
shoulders and is tied at the front with
broad ribbons. This never goes out of
style and is possible for carriage or for
theater wear in the early autumn. The
present fashion is to have it made up
in bright blue or bright red or a
queer mustard colored brown-the
same style that was fashionable last
autumn, or, rather that was attempt
ed last autumn, for it did not prove
universally popular.
Wraps for Any Gown
This style of coat or wrap is made
long enough to cover the gown, or
looks we'll enough to reach only a lit |
tie below the waist 1t is difficult |
model to find ready made and is an
excellent one in so far that it never
goes out of style.
There are many most elaborate |
fashions in carriage wraps that are
heavily trimmed with lace or cut work
These are either in loose coats of the
long cloaks. The cloth ones trimmed |
with heavy lace of the same shade or
white afford an opportunity to use an
enormous amount of handwork and |
