How the Salmon Feed.

The Commissioner Of Fisheries OF Brit
ish Columbia states that an important
discovery was made through investiga-
tions carried on by that department dur
ing the last year. 1t was found that all
species OF salmon, including the sockeye,
We're found feeding on Swiftsure Bank,
OF the coast Of Vancouver Island, upon
n small shrimplike crustacean that floats
in incredible numbers on the tides and
forms a favorite food with all varieties
of salmon. Heretofore the feeding habits
OF the sockeye have been unknown, al
ferent waters have been examined. This
led to the theory that the Fraser River
sockeye come annually from some dis
tant feeding ground and begin fasting as
soon as they start on their shoreward
migration. 1t is now thought that the
young salmon, on passing out from the
straits, distribute themselves in the ad-
jscent waters OF the sea, and during the
years OF their growth wander far and
wide in search OF food. returning to the
mouth of their natal stream when ma
turity Is reached. Neither in the case of
the sockeye nor in that of any other
species was there found any basis for
assuming a definite migration in the
sea in any direction. More probably
there is something in the nature OF q
fanlike dispersal OF young from the
mouths OF their native streams and a
reverse movement as spawning time ap-
proaches.

When Actresses Were Rare.

From the London Chronicle.
The success of the French revue at
the ''Old MoguT' is in marked contrast
to the reception given to the first French
players to appear in London, in 1879.
Their visit was an utter failure 1t was
notable, however, for the important in
novation. which was the chief cause OF
their unpopularitp. The luckless troupe
introduced actresses for the first time on
the English stage-"thereby giving lust
offense to all virtuous and well-disposed
persons in this town." wrote Thomas
Brande, rejecting the spirit of the play-
goer OF that time, who was used to see
ing boys take the female characters
These French women, or monsters,
rather.' were ''hissed, hooted, and pip
pin-pelted from the stage" The first
move against this prejudice was not long
delayed, however. Five years later an
other French company came to London
with women players, under royal pat
ronaEs, and were received with good
appreciation" at the cockpit In whitehall.

Athletics were on top, the Giants
in second place.
McGraw's best box artists Of the 1911
season were Mathewson and Marquard.
Crandau was his third bet, but he was
much weaker than the other two and

Coombs May Come Back.
Mack's leading FIVE average .S72, with
Coombs not a factor in the seasons play.

and cannot be counted on. To re-enforce

in that list. His seven best batters this
year-Shafer, Fletcher, Meyers, Murray,
SnOdgrass, Burns, Herzog. and Doyle
average -2S9, or twenty-One points below

In club hitting, the Giants have risen
from 20 TO .271, while the Mackmen have
dropped from .2S6 TO .2S1, still having a
ten-pcint lead over McGraw and showing
more hitting strength by far than the
Giants of 1911.
