THE RETURN or THE CISCO.
LaLB ontario Anglers welcome Back .
Friend OF Their Youth.

WATERrowN. N. Y. July 2s.-The return
Of the cisco to the eastern end of Lake
Ontario is something that is just now the
talk Of anglers who frequsntthe bass grounds
around Gslloup, Stony and Fox islands
and In Chaumont Bay. The bass fisher

full and that it will rise to a fly and give
good sport. II frequents the sheltered
bays close on shore and can be taken when

bass grounds.
The discovery of big schools OF ciscoes was
made q few days ago by a party Of Water
town anglers who were at the Galloup
islands for bass. II wal an of day for black
bass and the party returned to their camp
empty handed. Standing on the dock
toward evening they noticed that fish OF
good size were jumping in large numbers
within casting distance. Ono Of the party
got his tackle and putting on a fly which
seemed appropriate made a cast. The
hy was taken eagerly. and after a bfief
fight the angler succeeded in landing a

OF the party was casting for oisooes and
getting q strike az quickly as the fly touched
the water. Darkness stopped the sport,
but IL vas followed up next day with equal
SUCCESS,
The nsh taken ran from three-quarters
Of a pound to q pound in weight. and there
appeared to be millions Of them around
the island. Other anglers have since been
taking them In large numbers and all
agree that ~ an edible fish they are far
ahead Of the black bass.
The experience Of WATERFOWL anglers
calls to mind tho days when ciscoes we're
exceedingly plentiful In the eastern end
Of Lake Ontario and fishermen took hun
dreds Of barrels at one haul Of a seine.
Chaumont Bay was then the noted cisco
ground aud Chaumont ciscoes were known
throughout The length and breadth Of the
State, Something more than fifteen years
ago the fish suddenly disappeared.
\ Chaumont Bay has graduated a lot Of
hardy sailors. md to this day it is not an
uncommon thing to hear the nam cisco
chaser applied TO Lake captains who come
srosr the eastern end Of Lake Ontario.
Various theories have been advanced
for tho sudden disappearance Of the cisco
from these waters, but the general suppo-
sition is that they foand spawning grounds
elsewhere, for a record catch was made
the year previous TO their departure. Their
return, however, Is hailed with delight.

HOW DIVERS ARE TRAINED.
Schools In England How Science Has

From the London Daily Nsus.
The Admiralty trains divers. and every
British wsrship carries at least one repre-
sentative Of the craft and frequently more.
There are training schools at Portsmouth,
Davenport and Sheerness.
One OF the difficulties with which divers
have to contend Is probably not realized by
q landsman, namely. that the greater the
depth the greater 10 the pressure OF water
on the mans body and the grester the labor
and exhaustion Of working. The naval
authorities limit their men to q depth Of
100 feet. The greatest depth to which a man
has descended 10 said by Sisbe to have been
7ot feet. and the pressure at that depth was
extraordinary. namely. ssif pounds to the
square inch. One wonders how any human
being could stand IL. Twelve fathoms, or
about seventy feet, would be enough for
most men. The ears and nose would prob
ably begin to bleed and the pressure on the
head would be very serious. A prsctised
diver can. Of course. descend much deeper
without such unpleasant sensations.
