The Life of q Salmon.

Salmon never eat during the spawn
Ing season. When they pass from salt
water into fresh water in search Of a
nesting place they are very fat, having
stored up food supply for the coming
months of struggle, for that is what the
spawning season always is. They
spend three or four months in fresh
water, exploring and fighting over the
places they find. Meanwhile, as they
do not eat, their alimentary canals
seem to wither up from disuse. And
when at last the spawning season is
over, the actual time, barring nest hunt
ing, being from ten to fourteen days,
the fish are so exhausted from the
struggle, lack of food and the effort Of
reproduction that death is inevitable.
The life Of a salmon Is spent in the
perpetuation of its kind, but to the
credit of each is an average of 5000
eggs.-New York Herald.
