THE FISH INDUSTRY.
VII-1'HE MENt1ADEN CATCH.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

fish can be materially diminished, much
less destroyed. by any appliance that the
ingenuity of man has yet devised, so long
as they are not taken upon their regular
spawning grounds. The herring and the
mackerel industries, both in this country
and in Europe. clearly indicate this. The
fishing Industry may to an extent lessen
the fish in a given area, because they
will go to other places but 1T cannot les
sen the number in the ocean.
There are other agencies which lessen
the number OF menhaden Some scientists
claim that they We're really driven from
the New England waters by the deStruc-
tiveness of the dog fish. and that the put
ting of sufficient premium upon this
fish would have a tendency to restore the
schools of menhaden to the coasts of this
region. Another enemy. the worst south
of the Chesapeake bay, is the shark.
There was found in the stomach of sim
gle shark taken off the mouth of Cape
Fear river, in North Carolina, and
tually counted, 352 well defined menhaden,
most of them entirely whole. Thousands
Of sharks may be seen preying upon
schools of menhaden along the same To-
cality. Sharks are frequently taken in
the menhaden nets, as many as 215 hav
ing been taken by one steamer in a single
day.
Another complaint lodged against the
menhaden industry is that its utilization
for commercial purposes tends to lessen
its numbers to degree dangerous to the
sustenance of the more valuable food
fish that depend largely upon menhaden
for their food. This is generally disputed
for the reason that there is no diminution
of the food fishes of any kind in the
vicinity where the industry is most flour
ishing. The charge has frequently been
made that young shad and other valuable
food fish are frequently caught in the
menhaden nets and destroyed. This has
not been sustained by government inves-
tigation. On the contrary it is claimed
that by its influence in the destruction
of natural enemies to the fish the men
haden industry is a benefit to the food

NEW YORK, December "A South

constructed at the Bronx geological gar
dens for the reception of eighty-seven
baby snakes of the rare variety known
as fer-de-lance. The entire eighty
seven came to the zoo in a single litter
last week To insure their surviving in
captivity it was necessary to counterfeit
the natural conditions Of existence in
the Jungle and thereby entice them to eat
properly and take a suitable interest in
life.
The fer-de-lance snake is provided
with food catcher at the end OF its
tail This is a yellow marking which Is

snake can make its tail simulate the
