Fish VIII BE Located and Smacks
signaled by Electric Mystery.
NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Now the fish
in the sea are to be brought within the
ken of the wireless telegraph, and If
the plans of the American Fisheries
company, which operates the menha-
den fisheries along the Atlantic sea
board, go well 1t will not be safe for q
fish to show its fin abo-e water any
where near the coast from Florida
keys to Cape Cod.
The company has decided to install
wireless apparatus on board its steam
yacht, the Mindora, and its fishing
steamboats,, the Walter Adams, the
Alaska, the j. Lawrence, the Joseph
Wharton and the Arizona. Wireless
observers of the company which owns
the system will be instructed to keep
a sharp lookout from their coast tow
ers for schools of menhaden and when
a likely strike is in adjoining waters
send out hurry call for the fishers
and their nets.
Then, too, when the fish are plenti-
full one boat can call for help, and the
extra catches are expected to more
than compensate for the cost of the
service.

and vitality. He is quick, imperative
and decisive.

Ing a candidate for a diplomatic posi-

was very respectful, very low voiced,
