COD INDUSTRY IS GROWING
Newfoundland Has Wonderful Asset
and Will Be Great Fish Depot
of World.

The cod is probably the most pro-
life Of all sea fish, though its habi-
tat does not extend over as large an
area as other species, says the Wide
World. The cod is only found in
northern waters, and will live and
thrive only in certain temperatures.
Some day, owing to the wonderful
asset which Newfoundland possesses
in her cod fishery, she is destined to
be the great fish depot Of the world.
1t is not alone ON the great ''banks,"
many miles off her coasts, that cod
are found in countless millions, but
around the whole island-on the
'1edges" and grounds" off the
capes and promontories that iut into
the Atlantic, as well as on the Lab
rador coast, for a stretch Of 1000
miles. In these regions you require
no hatcheries to aid the wonderful
fecundity of nature; indeed, it is
doubtful if you require any laws Or
regulations to protect these fisheries
unless it be in the shoal waters Of
the bay.
Notwithstanding that for 800
years the fisheries of these waters
have been prosecuted by rival fish
ermen Of two hemispheres, the larg-
est catch Of cod ever taken on the
Newfoundland and Labrador coasts
was that secured in 1909, the yield
being estimated in weight at 1,800,-
600 quintals, or POI, 100000
pounds; to which may be added
100000 quintals-the quantity 10
cally consumed in Newfoundland
during and after the fishing season
The value of the fish alone, without
any regard to the by-products-oil
roes, skin, offal, etc.-is $10,0Oo,'
600.

WHY GREEK REPUBLIC FELL
Work of corruptions and Dissensions
Rather Than of the Man
of Macedonia.

The old world has already re-
vealed to US, in its unsealed books,
the beginning and end of all its own
marvellous struggles in the cause of
liberty. Greece, lovely Greece, ''the
land of scholars and the nurse of
arms" where sister republics, in
fair procession, chanted the praises
of liberty and the gods-where and
what is she? For two thousand
years the oppressor has ground her
to the earth. Her arts are no more.
The last sad relics Of her temples
are but the barracks Of a ruthless
soldiery. The fragments of her col
umns and her palaces are in the
dust, yet beautiful in ruins. She
fell not when the mighty were upon
her. Her sons were united at Their
mepylae and Marathon, and the tide
of her triumph rolled back upon the
Hellespont. She was conquered by
her own factions. She fell by the
hands of her own people. The man
of Macedonia did not the work of
destruction. 1t was already done
by her own corruptions, Danish
ments and dissensions.-Judge
