hatcheries from 1872 to 1909 was about % bill
lion, of which over IS billion represents the
work Of the past six years
In making his original plans for the sys-
tematic investigation of the waters of the Uni
ted States and the biological and physical
problems they present, Commissioner Baird In
sisted that to study only the food-fshes would
be of little importance, and that useful conclu-
s1ons must needs rest upon broad foundation
Of investigations purely scientific in character.
The life history of species Of economic value
should be understood from beginning to end
but no less requisite is it to know the histories
of the animals and plants upon which they feed
or upon which their fod is nourished the his
tory OF their enemies and friends and the
friends and foes of their enemies and friends,
as well as the currents, temperatures, and other
physical phenomena OF the waters In relation
to migration, reproduction and growth
In pursuance of this policy the bureau has
secured the services of many prominent men Of
science, and much of the progress In the artt-
fetal propagation of fishes, in the investigation
of fishery problems, and in the extension of
knowledge of our aquatic resources has been
due men eminent biologists who have been
associated with the work temporarily. Their
services have been the services of specialists
for particular problems, and through them the
bureau has not only been able to give to the
public the practical results of applied science,
but has contributed to pure science valuable
knowledge of all forms of aquatic life.
The Importance to the fishing interests of
the work of the bureau in connection with the
economic fisheries is widely appreciated and
freely acknowledged. The statistical inquiries
of the bureau afford the only adequate basis
for determining the condition and trend of the
fisheries and the results of legislation, protee-
tion and cultivation Among the numerous
special matters in which the bureau has bene-
flied the fisheries the following may be men,
toned:
By bringing to the attention of American
new methods and new apparatus,
new fisheries have sometimes been established
and new fields exploited.

By the dissemination of information regard
ing new fishing grounds important fisheries
have been inaugurated Thus when the album
dance of halibut off the coast of Iceland was
made known by the bureau, a fishery was be-
gun which yielded from $4,000 to 500, 900 an
nually to the New England fishermen.

HANGED safety. By correspondence, discussion
in the daily press personal interviews, ex.
hibtion of models and finally by the actual con-
stTuctton of a full-sized schooner 1.-THE Gram
pus), with the requisite qualities, the bureau
was enabled to inaugurate momentous change
in the architecture of fishing vessels; so that
for long time the New England schooners
have been constructed on the new lines, with
consequent minimizing of disasters and de-
cided increase in efficiency.
In other fisheries and regions the bureau
has likewise advocated impRoYed types of yes
sells and boats especially adapted to local con.
ditions, and has published plans and specifea-
lions embodying the results of studies Of the
fishing fotilla of the world.
The results of the bureaus efforts in this
line in saving life and property, In increasing
the usefulness of the vessels, and in improving
the quality of the catch as landed, cannot be
estimated, but the beneficial effects may be

canadian authorities, two egg-collection sta

maintained at points in Ontario.
While surveying new bank on the coast
OF Alaska, the government steamer Albatross
in 20 minutes made the experimental catch of
cod and halfbut shown in one of our illustra-
lions. AS result Of explorations of the Al
batross on the Pacific coast, fisheries of great
Importance have been established there
The hatcheries on the rivers and lakes of
the Pacific coast are devoted almost exeIu
sively to the various salmons. In California
where the bureau established a salmon hatch
cry as early as 1872, there is one central or
main station, at Baird the McCloud river
with important collecting stations on two other
tributaries of the Sacramento. In Oregon a
central hatchery at Oregon City on the Will
lamette river, has three subhatcheries on trib-
utaries Of the Columbia, in Oregon and Wash
ington, and three subhatcheries on tributaries
Of the Rogue river Oregon. in addition to sew
eral egg-collecting station.
The interests of the large salmon fisheries
Of the Puget Sound region are safeguarded bv
a hatchery on Baker lake, on the Skagit river
A significant feature of artificial propagation
on the Pacific seaboard Is that in the Columbia
basin the Matching Of the acclimatized shad has
begun on small scale, and in the Sacramento
basin the cultivation of the acclimatized striped
bass has commenced under conditions which in
dictate that more eggs of this species may be
obtained in California than in any of the states
to which the fish is native.
The hatcheries in the interior regions con-
stitute the most numerous class and their
output reaches the largest number of people,
Their operations are addressed chiefly to the
so-called game" fishes, which, while caught

important element of the food supply At these
stations large numbers of fish are reared to the
lingering or yearling sizes before being re-
leased; for this purpose more or less extensive
pond areas are required.
The f1sh-cultural work of the federal govern
ment has now attained magnitude that can
not readily be eomprehended, and is increas-
ing at an exceedingly rapid rate. Especially
marked has been the increase in the hatchery
product during the past ten years. owing in
part to the extension of operations at existing
stations, and in part to greater efficiency of
methods and appliances. The work during the
fiscal year 1909 reached larger proportions than
ever before, over three billion fish being pro-
duced and planted
While the bureau does not lay undue stress
on mere numbers and considers the vitality
of the fish and the conditions under which they
are planted as of paramount Importance the
foregoing figures are certainly very suggestive
and as a further statement of the magnitude of
the f1sh-cultural work, 1t may be OF interest

with a revolver and a Delaying pin,
was compelled to use force a number
of times to check the mutinous spirit
of the crew, which was made up of
Japanese, Porto Rieans, Sandwich
Islanders and a few white men.
The members of the crew declare
that they knew something was going
to happen when a black cat, belonging
to Mrs Lorenz, was discovered on
board shortly after the beginning Of
the cruise from Honolulu to this city,
and the sailors demanded that the
animal be cast overheard. It was
Mrs. Lorenz' pet and the captain and
Oleson refused to comply with the de-
mand.
When just off Cape Horn, Captain
jim, as he was called, was seized
with an attack Of Bright's disease. For
two days his wife put up heroic fight

For several days the captains death
was kept a secret from the crew, but
when they learned of it they demand
ed that the body be cast overheard.
Oleson, the mate, refused to comply
with the demand, and watched over
the young wife and her dead, day and
night until the vessel was towed to

GETS MEDAL AS BRAVE MAN
Young Englishman PIunges Into the
Gas-Laden Hold of Ship and
Rescues Three.

Yonkers, N. Y.-Thomas A. Broad,
bent, a slender young Englishman who
came to work as machinist in fac
tory here six months ago, has just re-
ceived kings medal from the British
government in recognition Of his hav-
ing performed "the most heroic act OF
the year 1909 in all the English mari
time service"
Broadbent was on the ship Fantee,
which left Liverpool for the west coast
of Africa OF Cape Palmas, Liberia,
the ship ran upon reef and it became
necessary for all hands to get to work
shifting the cargo. The cargo in
cluded some jars Of an acid, which
when mixed with water generated a
deadly gas. In lower hold, where six
men were working, the ships carpen-
ter, the captain and the first mate. in
hailed the gas and dropped dead.
Three seamen who were just outside
the death zone fell unconscious. When
this was discovered there were calls
for volunteers to bring back the living.
Broadbent volunteered and, with a
rope about his middle, was lowered In
to the chamber of death.
One at a time, he brought the three
sailors to the fresh air and then, bare
" conscious, he was lowered again at
his own request to bring up the cap
tain's body.
This time he collapsed and was de-
lirious for five weeks. The ship itself
subsequently was succored by another
British vessel and Broadbent came to
this country.

streams was centered at six hatcherfes and
subhatcheries in 1909. At one of these the
principal species handled is the Atlantic sal
mon, at four the shad, at three the yellow
perch, at two the white perch, and at one the
striped bass. In recent years the bureau mas
operated a shad hatchery on the Delaware rlV-
er, and has detailed the steamer Fish HAWK
for shad Matching in Maine, New Jersey, North
Carolina and Florida. The central station, IN
Washington is operated largely for experiment
tai and exhibition purposes.
In order to counterfeit the effects OF the
very exhausting fisheries of the Great Lakes
the government has maintained hatcherles for
many years, and now operates six belonging TO
the United States and two belonging to the
state of Michigan. The fishes to which atten-
ton is given are those which enter most large
ly into the catch of the fishermen, namely, the
whitefish cisco, lake trout, and pike perch the
annual output of which now exceeds one and

stoner of fish and fisheries
Inc early years Of the bureau OF fisheries
were devoted to investigation of the con-
oltlon of the fisheries of the Atlantic coast,
Great Lakes, and other sections; to studies of
the Interior and coastal waters and their in
haoltants, and to exploration OF the off-shore
nsnlng banks The cultivation of useful fishes
was soon taken up throughout the country and
quickly attained large proportions The natur-
al expansion of the work was materially aug
mented from time to time by acts Of congress,
and In comparatively short time the opera
ions came to have very wide scope
From year to year, as the importance of the
work has become increasingly evident. addi-
oonal hatcheries have been built, the capacity
OF existing hatcheries> has been enlarged, the
scale of the operations has been extended, and
new kinds of fishes have been added to the
output.
