There are in the United States two
fisheries, which the general public does
not think of as fisheries at all,
which are causing more or less con-
Germ to the people who derive a liveli-
hood from them,-and incidently are
the subject of a sort of first aid"
work on the part of Uncle Sans ex-
perts who are supposed to be doctors
for the whole fisheries cause. One Of
these activities is the sponge fishery
and the other is the pearl-mussel in
dustry of the Mississippi Valley. The
mussels supply the raw material re-
Quired for the manufacture OF pearl
buttons,-an important industry In
Iowa and other States, and for several
years past the depletion of the supply
of mussels has threatened this whole
industry. Streams in no less than
ten different States are now being ex-
plored in the hope of discovering new
sources of supply for the pearl button
trade and at the same time measures
are being taken for the protection.
conservation and improvement OF the
existing mussel beds along the course
of the Father of Waters.
There have been frequent alarms
in recent years to the effect that the
sponge fisheries in the waters ad5a-
cent to Florida were threatened with
disaster owing to the exhaustion OF
the supply The danger is not wholly
past by any means, but a loop-hole OF
escape from the unpleasant dilemma
seems to have been uncovered by the
experiments of government experts
who have demonstrated that sponges
may be successfully grown from arti-
aciaI cuttings. At the same time
Congress is being pressed to make
more stringent laws for the protection
Of the sponge beds and to place in
commission a police boat that can
enforce the regulations prohibiting the
sponge fishery by diving in depths OF
less than fifty feet.
With, perhaps, the single exception
of the mackerel industry all the I'M
portant branches of our American
fisheries are in a highly satisfactory
condition, something that can not be
said for all the fisheries in other parts
of the world. The commercial fish,
cries of the United States now repre-
sent an investment Of nearly one hun
dred million dollars and the value OF
the products derived from the fsh-
cries amounts every year TO almost
two-thirds as much as the total IN
vestment above mentioned. However
a stop will have to be put to over
fishing IL certain branches Of the in
dustry are not to suffer. Incidently 1t
may be noted that Uncle Sam is PLAN
ming a unique object lesson to afford
conclusive proof of what can be ac-
complished by fully protected fish cul~
ture. The scheme is to establish
model fish hatchery in Yellowstone
Park and demonstrate how baby fish
will thrive and multiply in waters
where they can be fully protected
through Federal control.

no telling what is to become of some
sixteen hundred Observation-Disclosures

The mackerel usually make their
first appearance on the American coast
in the early spring off Cape Hatteras
and gradually move northward to
the Gulf of st. Lawrence, but in later
years fewer and fewer of these much
sought swimmers have come to our
coast. Many of the veteran fishermen
have become suspicious that the in

hooks and lines and a plentiful supply

largely responsible for the growing

only dark spot in the current record

stance, is the recent prosperity of the
salmon fishing industry on the Pacific
Coast. According to figures just COM
piled the salmon pack for the year
1911 in the Puget Sound district es-
tablished a new high record, the total
being 100000 cases, valued at
$S,125, 900. This record was fully fifty
thousand cases in excess of the output
of 1909, the last heavy harvest, and
it is attributed to the heavy run
of the pink salmon which constitutes
the chief standby of this industry.
The Alaska salmon industry is also
doing nicely and it may be attributed
in part to the enforcement of some
what more safe and sane policy with
reference to the fish. For example
stop has been put to the pernicious
practice of "jigging'' for salmon which
results in the cruel mutilation of fish

is erected a tall. pagoda-like observa-
ton tower just within the breastworks
that were thrown up against the
British in 1912, to Druid Hill Park on
the west, one of the finest examples of
natural and artificial recreation places
in the East.
Baltimore has long been known as
the Monumental City, and it is well
known that the first memorial to
Washington was erected here. A NAL
tese cross shaped park surrounds it,
and this is dotted with monuments
to noted Baltimoreans, together with
the famous Barge bronze statues.
Beautiful homes have been built
around this park which is known as
Mount Vernon Place. Almost every
important event in history is com
memorated in Baltimore in marble or
bronze-the Revolutionary War, the
War of 1912, the Mexican War and the
Civil War, both the Union and Con-
federate forces being honored by
splendid memorials.
Baltimoreans pride themselves most
upon their quick recovery from the
great fire of 1904, which wiped out
about 80 acres of the wholesale BUSH
ness district, destroying merchandise
and buildings valued at about $780,
100000. In this respect the people of
the commonwealth deserve much
credit for they have undoubtedly made
rapid strides in restoration. At the
same time many of the narrow streets
were widened and that section of the
city, with it's fine warehouses and
office buildings, now presents an en-
tirely different aspect.
In the expenditure of 100000
for the purchase of water front prop

will be on the tip of his tongue, so
to speak. One of these latter will take
the form of a request for our friends
beyond the Atlantic to help US solve
the mystery of the disappearance of
the mackerel which has been causing
increasing wonder and worry to thou
sands of American fishermen for some
years back. This puzzle of the lost
mackerel is one with which Uncle
Sam has been graphing single-handed
ever since an appeal came from the
despairing fishermen of Gloucester
nearly three years ago, but thus far
no satisfactory solution has been found
for the riddle.
Time was when the mackerel in
dustry was one of the most profitable
in the whole range of sea food and
1t would be yet were 1t not that these
edible natives of the deep seem to
have taken it into their heads to
give the American coast the go-by

twenty years and the catch last
year was the poorest in the history of
the country. II a clue is not soon

80 Tradition has it that fishing is
II very largely a matter of chance
and luck. Every angler who
- has ever gone in quest of the
f1nny tribe with hook and line will
doubtless be ready to echo that senti-
ment. Likewise is it a belief deeply
rooted in the minds of the majority
of professional f1shermen,-the sturdy
craftsmen whose nets must yield thou
sands of the shining beauties to in
duce the same proportionate degree of
satisfaction that comes to the lone
amateur through possession of a we'll
filled basket of trout. And yet there
are dozens of good reasons why the
fishing industry should be anything
but the butt of the within and fancy
of fate. And to remove it from this
precarious position Is just now the
subject of much thought and effort
on the part of both practical fisher
men and the scientists who deal in
theories.
The United States government,
through it's unique institution known
as the Bureau of Fisheries, has for
years past been making a study of
the fishing industry from all angles
and, yet more important, has been
using the knowledge thus gained to
remedy mistakes and evils that have
threatened TO exterminate certain
families in the finny tribe. Now Uncle
Sam is to have an opportunity to pur-
sue this novel missionary work" on
q yet larger scale and in a manner
more promising than ever of prac-
teal results for our fish catchers and
fish eaters. This new vista of oppor-
tunities has been opened by an invita-
ton recently received for the United
States haRnnna nT ha
Permanent International Council for
the Exploration of the Sea. This in
ternattonal clearing house of fishy
knowledge was esta blished some years
ago on the Initiative of Sweden and
1t now has as members-Great Britain,
Germany, Russia, the Netherlands,
France. Belgium, Denmark, Norway,
Sweden and Finland. OF course,
Uncle Sam will be called upon to
contribute to the fund for the conduct
OF the operations of the Council, but
the sum required,-a little more than
$1,000 per year-wi1l be a low fee for
the benefit our fisher folk (and, in
directly, the public at large) will re-
ceive from such an Interchange of

purpose of this international co-part-

The armory has been approved by
Chairman Mack and he has also ap-
proved the plans for the arrangements
of the floor space, the erecting of
huge platform and the making of more
exits. A squad of artisans, under the
direction of the architects, is now at
work and the structure will be ready
in ample time.
For the purpose no building could
be better located than the armory. 1t
is in the heart of the residential sec
ton and yet is within a few minutes
walk of the Mount Royal station of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the
Union Station of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. Indeed. the armory is near
1y in the center of the city, and within
1 5 minutes ride from the Hotel where
Chairman Mack and his general COM
mittee will have their headquarters.
It is said that the acoustics and VEN
ti1ation of the big building make it
almost ideal for the summer gather
ing which will open there June 20 to
select the Democratic nominee for the
twenty eighth President of the United
States.
For those who go to the convention
for strictly business purposes and who
will spend all of their time either at
the convention hall or in the lobbies
of the hotels Baltimore will be pretty
much like any other large city, and
they will judge it by the natural con-
veniences of transportation by trolley
and by the quality of service at the
hostelries. To men of this kind there
will be no incentive to explore into the
highways and byways OF the city for
scenes of quaintness or the pictures
que.
On the other hand there will be
thousands of visitors, men and women,
who will go to the city not only to be
at the convention during certain
hours, but to also see whatever there

p mighty important activity to keep
tab on. Perhaps the reader does not
realize that our oyster fishery is not
only the greatest single national fish
cry in the world but of itself yields a
more valuable product than that de-
rived from the entire fisheries of many
important maritime countries. Prog
ress is being made all along the line
in the oyster industry. The States,
such as Virginia, Maryland, Delaware,
within whose Jurisdiction lie the most
valuable oyster beds. are adopting an
advanced policy in controlling oyster
fishing operations and in developing
the productiveness of the oyster beds
whereas public and private enterprise
has lately been more successful than
ever in the fattening of oysters.

All through what is now known as
"Old Town" one may run across build
ings about which there is more or
less historic charm. On the tip of
famous Fort McHenry. This fort will
always be an object of interest, for
there the Stars and Stripes still wave
from a pole standing almost in the
exact spot as it did when Francis
Scott Key, the American who had been
| detained on a British battleship on
September 18th, 1914, beheld it still
waving after the smoke of a lombard
ment had cleared away, and wrote
the immortal Star Spangled Banner
The old fort is pretty much the
same as it was that night. One may
wander about the parapets and gaze
across the Patapsco river and see the
modern fortifcations that now guard
the approaches by water.
Just across the river, and below
Fort Carroll, which was erected I'M
der the supervision of General Robert
E. Lee, when he was an officer in the
United States army, one may see Spar
rows Point which is the plant of the
Maryland Steel Company. By troll
ley one may also visit this steel works
and shipbuilding yard and see for

Thirty miles down the Chesapeake
Bay-two and a half hours by steamer
or an hour by trolley-there is, at
Annapolis, the magnificent $40, 200, 900
naval academy-the school for the flu
ture officers of the navy-whiIe in the
old town itself are many points of

Houses of worship are numerous and
until recently Baltimore was the Of
fetal residence of the only American
cardinal. and the old Cathedral adj
joining his home is we'll worth a visit.
The edifice, which is more than one
hundred years old, has been the
scene of some of the most memorable
gatherings of the Catholic Church in
America.
Goucher College and the Johns Hop
kins University are educational insti-
buttons too well known to need a de-
tailed description here. and the Johns
Hopkins Hospital, that great medical
institution which has numbered SO
many famous people among it's pa
cures have been made. It may seem
out of the ordinary to point to a hos
pital as one of the beauty spots of
city, but nevertheless this institution
comes under that class with it's well
kept lawns, it's bright flowers and its
general clean cut appearance.
For the epicurean there is Lexing-
ton Market, one of the real sights of
tho city and, perhaps. more widely
known than any other market house.
The market proper extends more than
l,5UU TeeI, DuL on Gays lines
of wagons add another 500 feet to
length. On either side of the market
house may be found other lines of
wagons, all of which come to the
city from the farmlands in the sur
rounding counties.
Most Baltimore housewives do their
own marketing, going to the market In
automobiles, in carriages, in cars and on
foot but once within the portals all
rub elbows and forget all else save the
one desire-to purchase for their
needs. In this respect the market IS
the most cosmopolitan place in the
city and in June when the stalls are
laden with ANNE 'RanneP' melons and
Strawberries one will see 1t at its best.
The city is regarded as the gate
way of the South and 1t is rapidly forg-
ing ahead commercially although, in
spite of ever pressing business, one
still finds the people with a few min
utes to chat and to extend the kind OF
hospitality that makes a visitor re-
member them.

their hands the nutrttfvely useless but
reproducively valuable spawning fish
struggling up the rapids and falls of
the Alaskan streams. Finally an eff
fort is being made to put a stop to the
use of food fishes for fertilizer and
the salmon packers are being induced
to, in the interest of economy, make
use of all the edible portions of the
fish instead of throwing away por-
ton of each fish as they formerly did.
The oyster fishery is one which is
likely to be brought prominently to
public attention in the near future
through the action of our Federal Of
fcials in undertaking for the first time
the collection of comprehensive sta
tistics that will show the trend of the
oyster industry. And assuredly it is
