The Importance of fish as a food prod
uct is not appreciated 10y the average
American citizen, and IS hardly guessed
at by those who live in the interior where
fishing is mostly a sport The Bureau Of
Fisheries Of the United States govern
ment is one of the busiest agencies of
Uncle sam. It distributes eggs, fry, and
yearllngs Of thirty-six species Of FISH al
the rate of nearly 2.OOO.OOoOOO a year. and
is ready to aid any endeavor to protect
or propagate FISH. There are thirty-two
regular hsh-cultural stations and numer-
Gus substations. which are in operation
for only part of the year.
The belief that the food fishes of the
Eastern coast of the United States were
decreasing in number was the immediate
cause of the organization of the United
States Fish Commission in 1871. It's pur-
pose was to inquire into conditions and
suggest remedies. It soon became evident
that destructive methods everlasting,
and the pollution Of streams by sawmills
and other manufactures were causing "a
fearful decrease. To correct these hind
RANGES the commission began the artih-
cial Matching of a few species Of food
fishes, and from this small beginning has
grown the work Of the Fisheries Bureau
of to-day.

But for once we cannot claim "the big
gest thing on the footstoOl" The Chi
nese carry off that palm. They have is
sued several works that have never been
paraIleled by any other nation. The
most enormous book ever written was
their "Yung-lo-ta-tieu." or "Encyelope-
dia Maxima." This literary marvel con-
tanned the best selections from all the
classical, the historical, the philOsophi-
cal. and literary works ever published in
China It embraces astronomy, astrology,
geography, the occult sciences, medicine,
religion. history, biography, and the arts.
Every Chinese literary production which
was Of permanent value In the language
was Included in this collection, which con-
sisted Of PSI books, bound into u,lO
volumes.

The advantage Of artificial pr9paga-
ton may be illustrated by the common
brook trout. Under natural conditions
its eggs are not all fertilized. because
they are the prey of many Toracious
fish. and animals, which find them good
eating. and it Is considered that not more
than one egg out Of fifty matches and
grows TO maturity Under the artificial
methods employed by the bureau, at least
20 per cent Of all the trout eggs can now
be Matched and brought to maturity.
When they have reached a length of from
three TO five inches and are ready 20 take
care Of themselves. they are sent out to
the creeks and brooks. Last year over
million yearling brook trout and over
100000 yearling spotted trout were dis
tributed. A recent expedition resulted in
the discovery Of the most beautiful type
of golden trout known. The FISH is pc
culiar TO the waters of Volcano Creek
IN the Kern River region.

Q Question: / am s0rry to trouble you with such
q foolish question. bat must confess that the mat
ter has annoyed me greatly. Since the opening Of
the exhibit Al the Corcoran Art Gallery | have
been there nearly every day, being art student
TO study the remarkable pictures there exhibited In
the very midst Of deep reflection regarding some
picture / am not once IN a while. but continually
interrupted by the request. PLEASE let me look at
Your catalogue" Men, women, and children pur-
sue me with demands TO look at icy catalogue
Now | don't mind lending ms catalogue. but I do
mind very mitch being interrupted in my studies
for my visits there are serious and mean much TO
me.-Artist.
Answer: I dare say your time is valu-
able and your visits are serious" but
much more important than your art
studies is TO learn how TO live in the
world. to be kind, amiable, and agree
able. to do little ktndnesses and courtesies
to those about you. The selfshness your
letter indicates makes it difficult not
to preach. Who knows what benefit you
NAV bestow by loaning your catalogue
to some Of those same people who ''pur-
sue" you. There is many a one, doubt
less. as devoted to art as you are. who
may have visited the exhibition and has
not been able to afford the purchase Of
a catalogue, which is put at a ridiculous
figure.
; Question: Can nothing be done to prevent the
use Of strong perfume by women in public places ?
was made desperately i'll st Peer Gynt" on Mon
iay night because some fine lady behind me was so
rankIy pcrfumed. In fact, | had TO leave the
thcater.
Answer; I fear there is no help for the
nuisance you mention save the gradual
education of the woman who infiicts such
unspeakable annoyances upon helpless
people. Il is in as bad taste TO use strong
perfumes as it would be TO use carbolic
acid. iodoform, or any other diSinfectant.
4 Question: / am az boarding school here and
my teacher does not allow me to read newspaper I
am much interested in current topics, and at home
my parents wanted me and my brothers and sisters
to take an interest IN the questions Of the day.
What can do about this!
Answer; Obey your teacher implicitly
If your parents did not regard her as a
wise and clever woman they would not
have intrusted you TO her care. Unhap-
PLY there are few papers fit for a school
girl to read, but If you are forbidden

The initial experiments were with shad.
This is a fish which spends most Of its
tiTQe in salt water coming up into the
rivers in the spring 20 spawn, the Poto-

shad fisheries WAS stopped. the industry

had ever known, and the specie intro

absolutely unknown until the commits

COUNTY WELLS
ARE GOING DRY

One of the results Of the lack OF rain
IS that many OF the wells IN various
parts of the county are running dry.
In certain sections this has worked
a hardship on the owners or tenants
of houses as they depend entirely
on wells for their immediate supply
Of water and these failing 1t becomes
necessary for them 10 bring water
from the nearest stream or brook or
from the nearest house where the city
supply runs People living in outly-
inc districts have been outstanding the
water in the wells for many weeks
and the careful man has found that
this precaution has paid him. for
while he does not have enough water
10 allow his neiehbors TO use freely.
he finds that he can supply his family
while his careless neirhbor has TO cart
water from greater or less distance.
In number of instances people have
been carting water from the lakes.
