The "Pie Belt" Spreads.

More glorious news from Maine.
Not political this time. but CASTRO
nomic, and of a sort calculated to
elevate every good Yankee into the
seventh heaven of delight. The town
OF Shawmut, famous name, and one
destined to be still more honored.
reports that its fiber factory shipped
one day last week 1000, 900 pie plates.
Two million of these went to Proyi-
dence and 1.OOO, 900 each to Baltimore
and Seattle. At the time of ship
ment there were orders on. hand for
$500, 900 plates, and on Monday
orders were received for $4,000, 900 TO
be delivered by September !. The
capacity of the plant is 200, 900 plates
a day.
Now the meaning of all this ever
growing activity in Shawmut de
pends on the application ont" There
is an enormous demand for pie
plates; ergo. there must be an enor-
nous consumption of pies. And not
wholly in New England, either, for
note that a million plates are going
to Baltimore, where the terrapin
come from, and still another million
to Seattle, where fresh salmon is
cheaper than smoked herring. What
better proof could there be that both
sections are rising rapidly in the culi-
nary scale?
When Rudyard Kipling located his
Great American Pie Belt" some
where in the vicinity of Boston he
thought to take revenge on New Eng
land for his bitter experiences as a
resident OF Vermont. But his re-
proaches were turned into paeans of
praise by the country at large, which
knew pie, if not so intimately. and
tenderly as the Yankee. and recog-
nized its beauty and utility. whether
open, barred or 'kivered.'" The
words Pie Belt became a patriotic
slogan, and when Kipling quilted
these shores they were hurled after
him with defiance by a delegation
from the New England Society of
Maylower Descendants.
And now the belt promises to be-
come national, for it is working its
way Southwark and has even reach
ed the Pacific coast The movement
augurs well for the development of
our highest civic character. The
sturdy virtues of the Puritans were
nourished on pie, and everybody
knows that pie for breakfast made
Emerson the deep thinker that he
was. All hail to the widening of the

Shall We Feed the Sardine?

We beg to call the attention of
Senator Lodge. spokesman in Con-
gress of the Sacred Cod, to a letter
written from Paris by Consul Cen
eral Mason, from which the follow
ing is CLEANED:
The sardine fishery. valuable indus
try of France. is confined principally 10
the l59-mile stretch OF Atlantic coast
from Lorient to the mouth of the
Gironde, the principal mart OF the sar-
dine fisherman being at Les Sables
dOlonne- The different minute marine
growths which form the natural food OF
the saTdine have become depleted. and
In order TO attract and retain the i'm
mense shoals of that fish on the French
coast the fishermen have been Obliged
Tor years to feed or bait the sardineS
with some material as similar as pos
slpIe 10 their natural food. For this
purpose the main recourse of the fisher
man has been to the roe or eggs of cod
fish and mackerel. derived from the
fisheries of Norway. This wear
the supply from Norway has been alb
normally small.
If the fishing interest of New England
has any surplus spawn to offer now
would seem 10 be an exceptional oppor-
tunity 10 f1nd profitable market in this
country
But TO arouse the activity of the
Massachusetts Senator is to incur
the opposition Of the Senators from
Maine, particularly of the President
pro tempore of the Senate. Along
the Maine coast a thriving industry
is the canning of fine imported
French sardines- If the truth be
known, and it will out If the pure
food bill becomes a law, the "sar-
dimes" are nothing more or less than
haddock. But the labels on the tins
are French-that is to say, they are
printed in the diplomatic language.

ST LOUIS. March 2s.-There was a

Protection for Niagara Falls.

When the officers of the American
Civic Association, together with a
representative of jhe Merchants AS
sociation of New York. called on
President Roosevelt a month ago
they were treated 10 a surprise. So
soon as they had announced their
mission as one in the interest of pro-
lection to Niagara Falls, the Presi-
dent told them that they need not
argue the matter with him, for he
was heartily in sympathy with the
movement. But he added that he had
done about all he could do. having
urged the need of legislation on Con-
gress.
The spokesman of the delegation
then urged the President to take the
necessary steps to bring the waters
Of the Niagara river under the juris-
diction of an international agree
ment. as the only effective means of
protecting Niagara Falls against de-
struction." Much TO the surprise of
the public-spirited gentlemen, they
were informed that negotiations for
an international agreement were al
ready under way.
The President had acted while
Others were preparing for action.
The Executive transmitted to Con-
gress yesterday the report Of the
American members of the Interna-
tional Waterways Commission, with
an Endorsement that the legislation
proposed for the preservation Of
Niagara Falls be enacted without
waiting FOR the negotiation OF a
treaty" The commission shows that
% per cent of the entire flow of
water over the falls is soon to-. be
diverted, which amount is abut
