Shanghai and salt Fish.

The city OF Shanghai imported last
year about 100000 yen worth OF salt
ish. The import of salt fish dates
three years back, and began with the
Introduction of salt salmon from Prim-
erskaya RUSSIAN littoral province),
salt cod from Kwangtung leased terri
tory, and salt sardines from Nagasaki,
says the Manchurian Daily News. In
addition to salt cod, the leased terri
tory exported 5000 yen worth OF
swordfish last year. This fish. which
owes it's name to it's likeness to a
sword in shape as we'll as in its glis'
tening, scaleless body, is found in
great abundance in these coast wa
ters. The local quality is better suited
to the Chinese palate than imports
from Ningpo and ports on the North
China coasts. and has promising fu.
ture on the Shanghai market. In fact,
the Chinese are heavy consumers OF
this fish, the total annual import to
Shanghai reaching 100000 piculs.

1.-THE fire waste in the United

in this country as securely against
the ravages of FIRE as they do in Eur

than 5000, 100000 year. This is fore
ing the rebuilding of many structures
and will force the rebuilding of still
greater number in our cities to mini

Explorer Not Practical.

Dillon Wallace, who accompanied
Leonard Hubbard on his foolishly
planned and worse executed trip into

chiseled an inscription on a rock

phrase on which a sermon might be
preached. Intrepid" Hubbard was, but
his reliance upon Deity to make up for
his own bad judgment was pathetic
