i The movement is not planned in the

trouble in pressing his views, for all
his colleagues who have studied the
questions share his views.
1t is admitted on all sides that
time has arrived when the problem
must be dealt with. The question is
not so pressing in the South, but in
the North, especially that section east
of the Mississippi and north of Mason
and Dixon's line, the need of the fish
dealers has had the effect of complete
ly destroying many noted fishing
grounds.
Thus the Connecticut river was at
one time noted for producing some of
the finest shad in the world. Now the
catch hardly makes it pay a fisher
man for putting out the nets. The Del
aware river the most noted shad sup
ply source in the country, was in al
mast as bad shape, but the United
States ship, Fishhawk, has stocked the
river literally with spawn so that this
year quite an Improvement was noted.
The two plans must go hand in
hand. What fish there are surviving
must be protected, and where the
stock has almost passed, artificial
propagation must do it's work of help.

For a long time he faced the fate
that is now his, but the force that kept
his throne tottering was Russia.
After the war in which the mikado
triumphed over car, Korea rejoiced
that it had been delivered from the
grasp of the Muscovite, but the old

case, for having stopped the plans of
st. Petersburg, Japan Immediately
takes possession herself.
A military governor to be appointed
by the mikado supplants the king of
Korea.
France also has just completed a
piece of king deposing. But in this
case humanity is the gamer, for the
ruler who has been taken from his
throne bore the title of being the most
cruel of all monarchs.
Thann-Thai was king of AMMAN in
Cochin China. AMMAN. is a French pro.
tectorate, but as III other instances of
colonization by European governments
in the Far East, it has been deemed
policy to let the native king maintain
his authority, provided he admits his
obligation to serve the interests of
France.
The policy works we'll except for
occasional outbreaks like that in 1889,
when the French government had to
depose Horn Nghi because of the mas
sacres of French residents he permit
ted.
Horn Nghi was replaced with
Thann-Thal, selected for his alleged
intelligence.
Thann-Thai gave no offense until
within the last couple of years, when
it is said he became insane. Then he
developed the most ferociously cruel

The power of the monarch over his
own people is absolute, for he is held
in religious generation, and none dared
resent his acts or even complain to
France of them.
But the clamor forced the starting
of an investigation. Then it was found
that the king had been subjecting his
people to the most awful tortures.
The palace frequently looked more
like an abattoir than the dwelling of a
king. Some of his wives hung from
the ceiling fastened by prongs, with
pincers in their flesh, others had their
tongues cut out, and could only in
mute gestures express their suffering;
some had been boiled in oil, others

Such condition of affairs admitted
of only one remedy. The king was d.

Not often is an abdication entirely
voluntary. Usually a monarch gives

There are instances, too, of where
kings have waived power and gone
into retirement because they did not
wish in the pages of history to be iden-
tilted with national policy which
they have thought contrary to the best
interests of their countries.
When Emperor Ferdinand of Aus.

MAKE UNCLE SAM PROTECTOR
OF NATIONS FISH SUPPLY.
To Make Federal Authority Supreme Oper All Lakes
and Riuers Which Touch More Than One State.

Uncle Sam is about to inaugurate
a battle to save the nations food fish.
Already he has given the subject
much attention, and a department of
fish hatcheries has planted in waters
all over the country millions of spawn
and flngerlings.
But the new movement is to be
much more systematic. 1t will make
the entire problem of fish supply one
for Washington to deal with AS a
preliminary, every state in the Union
will be asked to cede it's rights over
the principal rivers and lakes which
pass through the territory of other
states.
Thus empowered the United States
government will be able to enact uni
form laws and have authority to COM
pei observance of regulations that will
prevent the wholesale destruction of
one Of the most important staples of
our food.
The preliminaries to the movement
were arranged short time ago at the
meeting of the American Fisheries So
cletE. Which met IN Erie, Pa, after haV-
ing made an extensive investigation of
the fish problem on the Great Lakes
and their tributaries.
The society found that the once
teeming supply of fish in the great
inland sea is being steadily depleted
until to-day it is not so per cent of
what it was.
William E. Meehan, chief of the
Pennsylvania department of fisheries,
an expert, who has made a life study
of the subject, announced that at the
root of the trouble lay the lack of uni
form legislation.
Nearly every state has some laws
to protect fish, he said, and there are
also Canadian restrictions, but they
are not alike, and it is not possible
for example, to secure in Michigan

Playing Cards From Austria.

1t is a curious instance of the way
in which particular industries settle
in particular spots without any partic-
ular reason that Austria should have
become the center of the manufacture
of playing cards for almost the whole
world.
Each large cafe in Vienna will con-
sumo about 600 packs a year, and in
Austria there were sold during 1906
about two million packs, all of home
manufacture. The export trade is
still larger, especially to Asia and
North Africa, in which Austrian cards
appear to- enjoy virtual monopoly.
They range from Turkey to India.
