ALASKA SALMON
Procession Of the Four Varieties Of
This Superb Fish.

lute SuHSTp 6ibns
There Is nothing more curious con-
nected with the finny tribe than to
watch the doings Of the salmon family
in Alaska" said an Alaskan dealer.
'The most singular thing of all is
that after the females deposit their
spawn their earthly career terminates
and have seen the bottoms of creeks
covered with their dead bodies. They
give birth to thousands of their kind
and Immediately die. The young ono.,
are then taken care of by the male
salmon, and it is we'll known fact
that in three years from their birth the
offspring reappear on the very ground
of their origin. There are four varie-
ties of this superb fish which make
their appearance in regular order OF
succession.
'In the spring the first to arrive is
the magnificent king salmon, which
weighs all the way from fifteen to
ninety pounds. About June / comes
the sookey or red salmon, which visits
our shores in enormous numbers and
which Is the common canning variety.
A little later appears the log salmon,
which only the Indians will eat, and
finally, in August and September, the
beautiful silver salmon arrives, the
prettiest fish in all the world and one
of the most palatable.
"When the salmon enter the fresh
water by curious trick Of nature
their skin becomes red, but this pink
hue does not affect the whiteness OF
their flesh. 1t is seldom that salmon
will journey up a glacier stream, but
the streams that have lakes ut their
heads literally swarm with them."-

One at a time they inhaled three or
four long breaths and then plunged
with their great stones into the blue
water.
"One boat interested US. Its divers
seemed SO graceful and young. We
drew nearer, and, by Jove, the divers
were all girls. They were young Greek
girls from Himla, an Island near
Rhodes. 1t seems that in Himla the
sponge diving is carried on by girls
altogether. These girls seemed very
expert. Their dark hair knotted on
their shapely heads, they reclined on

THE AGE OF FISHES.
Both Ear Stones and Scales Carry the
Annual Tally.

Both Ear Stones and Scales Carry the
Annual Tally.
It has been found by ichthyologists
that the age of fish may be read from
its scales. These increase in size by
annular growths, two rings being form
ed each year. The "otoliths' or ear
stones, which lie in two sacs on either
side Of the base Of the cranial cavity,
afford another means of determination
Like the scales, the otoliths increase
by two rings annually. Each spring
that is, from February TO June-a white
ring Is formed, and each autumn-that
Is, from July to October-a black one.
Thus the number of either white or
black rings In an otolith gives the age
Of the fish in years. In the case of
1attish the latter method has been
found more reliable, whereas in the
case Of the cod the scales give bet
ter result. Although varying much III
size and shape In different species, the
otoliths show n. remarkable constancy
in the same species; hence they are
Of considerable value in the diagnosis
Of a species.-LonGon Globe.
