WEATHER BUREAU
NOW HAS RIVAL

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE Weather Bu
reau must look to its laurels
Rival forecasters came to port in a tank
and If the friends who accompanied them
are not boasting there need be no longer
any doubt as to what kind Of weather is
to be expected.
The rivals of the forecaster are small
green fr6Ns. They came 5000 strong on the
new North German Lloyd liner Berlin.
The weather frogs arc new in this coun-
try but we'll known abroad. They are
Of the tree frog family and are found in
the vicinity o. the Hartz Mountains. The
little animals arc confined in glass jars
which have about two inches of water in
the bottom. on the side of the jar is a
ladder
When the weather is to be dry and clear
the frogs climb the ladder and sit on the
top. When it is sure TO rain the amphibi-
ans go down the ladder and stay in the
water. If they stay halfway up the rungs
the wealier will be uncertain.
According to one of the sailors, when
the frog wrigglos his left hind leg toward
the setting sun hurricanes may be ex-
pected The foreleg whirled around in a
circle accompanied by croaks means q
blizzard with fresh south by southeast
winds and oppressive heat.
There are many other signals, whicl
take a long time to learn.

than one or two of such fish in day, but

STURGEON EGGS
FOR THE RIVER
Pennsylvania Fish COmmiS-
sion Aims to ReStOCk
Stream

Fish Commissioner Meehan, of Penn
sylvania, has succeeded in procuring
eggs from small sturgeon of immature
growth. There are at present 1000
such eggs in Pennsylvania hatcheries
at Torresdale Mr.. Meehan says that
the report that he expected to have
a million sturgeon eggs in a short time
was rather extravagant, although if
the eggs could be procured and sue
cessfully Matched it would be one Of
the greatest of fish propagation feats
ever accomplished.
The announcement has been of
special interest to fishermen and fish
dealers because of the fact that tho
Delaware River which 20 years ago
literally swarmed with sturgeon,
might be restoclIed and a profitable
business be revived. The sturgeon
practically became exterminated a
score of years ago to satisfy the de-
mand for Russian caviare. The diff
ference between this delicacy and
sturgeon flesh was so slight wher
properly prepared that the demand foi
the dish soon depleted the supply OF
the fish in the Delaware.
Speaking of shad fishing, Mr. Nee.
han said this season started out to b'
the best in eight years, but the cold
weather caused an aprociable decrease
i'm the number caught. He is arrang
/ ing to hatch more shad eggs for th
restocking of Delaware River anC
other waters.
