Desire for fortune and easy" living

Fear the Extinction Of Species
Through Reckless Waste.
Board Of Agriculture and Fisheries To-
sues Report Warning Against tho
Consequences Of Excessive Hunt.
lnp In Northern Waters,

Washington. OF the total
extinction Of the whale through over
fishing" is dealt with In the thirteenth
annual rtport on fisheries, issued by
the board OF agriculture and Usher
les.
1t is unquestiUnable, says the re-
port, that In the case OF slow.gTow-
ing and slow-producing animal like
the whale, although, owing to its wide
range, it will probably never be alb
solutely exterminated. excessive
hunting speedily results in very
marked depletion OF the stock.
The practical extinction OF the
Basque and Greenland whale fisheriel
has abundantly proved this. 1t must
be remembered, too, that this result
was brought about by means OF the
open and hand harpoon-methods
which are now obsolete.
The Greenland whale was com
paratively sluggish and timid ami
NAL. whose capture by the method re-
| ferred to presented little difficulty,
whereas the rorqusls and other spe-
cies were not only too swift, but too
dangerous to be attacked in the Same
manner as the right whale.
With the Introduction, however. OF
the harpoon with explosive shell. dis
charged from a cannon mounted In
the bows OF a steamer, the conditions
were entirely changed, and the spe'
cies formerly immune from attack
could now be hunted with impunity.
The result OF this revolution in the
conditions under which the fishing
could be prosecuted Is seen in the
enormous dimensions which the in
dustry has attained at the present
day.
II is estimated that In 1911 be
tween $4,000 and 10000 whales were
captured In the southern hemisphere
alone (South Georgia, South Shetland
South America, South AfTica), Il
which has TO be added the catch IL
North America, Japan, Farce, Iceland
Spitzbergen and Greenland. and thes,
figures will probably be greatly ex
ceeded In 1912, as numerous new com
panies have been formed to exploit
Alaskan, Australasian and Sandwich
island waters.
This wholesale destruction must IN
evitably tell its tale within a feN
