'ScALL0P INCUBAT0RS'
EFFORT TO PREVENT ExTERMiN-
ALTON OF THE sHElLFieA.
New England Fishermen Becoming
Alarmed at Disappearance and
Artificial Propagation Is Be-
ina Tried.

Boston, Mass.-An effort is being
made by the Massachusetts fisheries
commission to propagate the scallop
by artificial means. That is to say.
the experts will try to find out how
far 1t may be practical to take the
eggs from the spawning mollusks and
fertilize them by hand. rearing the
young In some sort of marine kinder
garten.
This valuable shellfish is disappear
ing from New England waters. and un-
less something be done with prompt
ness 1t will be too late. The trouble
is due. as usual in such cases, to reck-
less fishing. and chiefly to the taking
of seed scallops for the market.
To make this clear IL should be ex-
planned that science has only recently
ascertained that scallops rarely live
more than 20 or % months, and prac-
tically never survive their second
year. Inasmuch as they do not spawn
until they are year old, this implies
that those specimens which are taken
before they are year old-that is to
say. as seed scallops. to use the fish
erman's term-never get n chance to
breed at ALL
The scallop spawns in early sum-
mer. and the young grow at such an
astonishing rate that they are big
enough for market in the late fall
whence the temptation to catch them.
The baby scallop attaches itself by
thread to eelSrass at the bottom and
so remains stationary until 1t is quite
well grown. when 1t casts loose and
becomes n wanderer.
For the curious mollusk is able to
swim with great rapidity by opening
and closing the valves of its shell-a
fact in natural history which was un.
known to an unfortunate Frenchman
who undertook, n few years ago. to
establish a scailop plantation on a
quiet New England beach. He de-
posted several thousand scallops in
shallow water. expecting them to
breed. but when he looked for them
the next day all OF them had fed.

JAPAN is BUYING RAILROADS.
Government Paying High Prices for
Naturalization Of Highways.

Washington.-Now that the Japan
ese government has undertaken to ma.
tionalize IL private railways, having n
total of 2,SS7 miles of line at n cost
OF 2l.50o.0oO yen ts2lO.oOO. .0o0). or
about $4,000 mile. the latest annual
report of Ichiji Yamanouchi. director
OF the imperial bureau OF railways of
Japan. for the fiscal year ended March
81, 1905. becomes OF the highest his.
torlcal and comparative value.
The total mileage open for traffic
In 1905 was 1858. divided as follows:
Government railways. l,i6l miles: pri-
vate railways. 3.232 miles. This
showed an Increase of nearly 1875
miles over 1904.
Calculating the Japanese yen at so
cents commercially i9.S cents). the
cost OF construction OF the mileage
was:
Cost Per mile
Government railways....s 5s.e5l.sis s52.o,i
Totals ...................sie sie5. .55iiOi sii So
1t will be perceived that the Japan
cse government now pays almost
double the original cost OF construct
Ing the private railways and there is
no suggestion of graft or excessive
valuation in the transaction. The
price paid was 90 times the average
OF the net earnings from operation for
1902. 1908 and 1904. divided by the
cost OF construction and multiplied by
the paid-up capital.

IOWA FARMERS USE PHONES
Over 1o4, 1000 instruments in Operation
on Rural Lines.

Dcs Moines, Ia.-For the first time
a census of telephones has been TAX
en- in the State of Iowa. and this has
disclosed that there are now in use
222.325 instruments. OF this number
l0i.52i arc classed as instruments
used in connection with rural pnes.
That is. they are used by the farmers
of Iowa.
During the past few years the
Government Weather Bureau here bas
arranged for telephone distribution of
forecasts. and a large percentage of
these farmers now receive by tele-
phone every morning the forecast
of weather for the coming thirty-six
hours. This. in fact. has been one
strong incentive for installation of
telephones in the homes OF farmers of
the state.
The assessment OF telegraph and
telephone lines in Iowa for 1906 has
been fixed at s2,5SO,729. which is an
Increase over last years assessment
of $234,6T2. The assessment by law Is
not levied upon the Instruments n
use. but upon the number, Of miles of
line strung. hdt
