Guarding Schools From Fire.

How TO guard against disaster in
schools in case Of fire is a subject
which is receiving much attention
in the large cities OF Europe at this
time. Some Of the preventive mea-
sures suggested by correspondents
OF a Vienna paper make interesting
reading for Americans. One man
writes that In one OF the small towns
in Bohemia the school sessions are
held in two old buildings which
were once residences. BY an iron
door one may go from one building
to the other. and In case Of fire in
one house the children have but TO
go TO this door and find safe-y IN
the building in which there is no
fire This plan should be adopted.
he SAYS for all the city schools
They usually stand among DWELL
ing houses. and from each there
should he an exit to the house next

safe and prevent panics And. her

In the charges Mr. Cooke asserts
that as presiding officer of the New

THE SHAD SEASON.
How the West Is Beating the East in
the Fishing Industry.

Among the Injuries Of this late
Lenten season the shad occupies a
conspicuous place. 1t is one of the
dainties of middle spring, but as a
source of revenue it has fallen from
the high estate which 1t held half
century ago. An old-time fisherman
writes to the Hartford Times of his
Connecticut river in those old days,
when sometimes there would be a
haul of thousand pounds IN half
mile drag of the seines. That was
when men were engaged by the
thousand in the industry and the
stock in the fishing places returned
from Is to rs per cent to the inves-
tors. But the Hudson rather than
the Connecticut held the primacy of
the shad streams in the east and
even in the country, for at that time
this variety of food fish was prac-
tically unknown In western waters.
The shad season was one of great
enjoyment for the farmers and fami-
lies for many miles from the sources
plenty then as they are now and one
or two in a community would take
their teams and drive perhaps forty
miles to secure supply fn: them
selves and their neighbors. After
the somewhat monotonous fare of a
long winter they reveled in this
spring luxury as much as their flocks
N in oil
supply still seems equal to the de-
mand, but growing scarcity makes
the price higher and the shad no
longer answers as a cheap food fish
for the masses, and the fishermen do
not make so much from the higher
prices as they did from the more
moderate ones.
OF course the drain upon our shad
streams on the Atlantic slope is
much greater than on the Pacific
owing to the larger number of dense
ly populated cities and towns. Still
IL seems rs IL we had not pushed
propagation to the potential limits.
The west Is beating us OUT in the de-
velopment of the fishing industry.
especially with respect to the choicer
varieties. Thirty-seven years ago |
Seth Green took 1900 newly |
shad from the Hudson river
to the Sacramento in California as a
starter. Others followed Lie exam
pie. and two years ago o rer a mil
lion and a half pounds were caught.
while there was hardly INIT to the
amount that could have been taken.
The shad is not so highly esteemed
here as here. some other varieties
being preferred. But IL has made
is way from this comparatively re-
,ent colonization clear to the waters
n Alaska. and is preparing an mex
food supply for tine future.
