TELLS NEW SCHEME
FOR BREEDING FISH
Prof. BumpuS Shows Con
greSs Results of Whirling
Sea Water.

A new scheme to breed countless
thousands of fish and Holsters by whirl-
ing sea water was presented TO the
fishery experts Of the world this morn
ing by Prof. Hermon Bumpus. presi-
dent of the International Congress or
Fisheries. Prof. Bumpus resigned the
chair in order TO bring the new and
original solution Of fish Matching prob
lens before the session in the New VIII
lard Hotel
The scheme he presented, however Is
the work Of DR.. A d. Mead, OF the
Rhode Island fish commission. 1t was
announced as the eliminating success
Of a long series Of failures It's very
simplicity was startling 10 the dele
gates, who will visit the scene Of the
new methods on their trip along the
coast next week to inspect fisheries
Great wooden boxes eight feet deep
and about twenty feet square have been
submerged in the sea by Dr. Mead with
female Holsters breeding inside. There
are screened windows on the bottom
and tie sides. A gasoline engine turns
q large fan, which whirls the water in
one direction. day and night, giving
the fish the sensation Of active sea
water.
Deception a Success.
This little deception practiCed on the
denizens Of the sea Is said by DR.. Mead
and Prof. Bumpus to be the great sue
cess of fish and lobster culture. The
whIrling water sucks up food for the
eggs and fish. The larvae are attract
ed, and with the addition Of small
amounts Of chopped fish, the work goes
on without any formalitieS other than
the liberation of the large animals
when the proper time arrives, and the
securing Of other females with theiE
eggs.
