them Is now being tried out. After the
Larvae have been Matched they are turned
loose in the sea to take their chances OF
life.
This plan is something Of an improve
ment over natures MS regards the condi-
ton Of Matching. The fact remains that the
lobsterlings, set free in the first stage Of
their development, are happy. helpless lit
tie f~ioaters. conspicuous morsels. attractive
to every hungry fish in the sea. A few
survive, many perish.
Uncle Sam has been liberating from HIS

In a single year.. Certainly thereby the
food supply OF other Species has been
greatly increased.
DIR. Mead some years ago thought OF the
simple device Of rearing the young lob
sters In moving rather than in still water.
He had noticed that when the larve were
drifting in water saturated with other food
their taste for raw lobster was greatly di-
minished. In 1901 for the first time he en-
ployed a mechanical device to keep the
water in the Matching bags in constans
motion day and night.
The arrangement wa one with a small
paddle which was kept rotating by means
OF q small gasolene motor. Piece by piece
the present plant, consisting OF fatboats
and floats, with the directors private house-
boat anchorei near by, has come into ex-
istence. As b mechanical project a high
engineering authority has laughingly OBJ
served that the machinery ought not to
work. 1t does work.

trying to rear Holsters In still water dis
covered that In the third and fourth stages
Of their existence the sacrifice Of life was
enormous.
In one instance he succeeded by exer-
else Of extreme care In bringing over about
1900 larve from the first into the second

entered the third stage. About 100 reached
the fourth stage. In the face Of such
mortality artificial propagation could be

Of the lobster beyond the helpless stages
has long been under consideration, but
the existence OF cannibalism among them
has been an obstacle. Lobster meat Ia a
delicacy. as every little lobster knows.
Whenever efforts were made to bring I'D
the larve together In enclosures under
salutary and peaceful conditions It was
found that s%anguinary warfare would at
onoe arise.
The militant larve would consume one
another until from initial broods OF many
thousands a few individuals would be left
to survey an aqueous desert Of their own
making. A trouble among young lobsters
is that they do not grow at anything like
the same rate. At the end OF q certain
period some Of those Matched together
may be al inch long. while others, less we'll

may not have reached one-fourth that
