MANY KINDS OF FISH.
Of 10 Species Found In Maine Only
II Have Commercial Value.

In an annotated catalogue Of the
fishes Of Maine, prepared by William
Kendall, scientific assistant Of the
United States Bureau Of Fisheries,
recently published as part first Of vol
ume third Of the proceedings Of the
Portland Society Of Natural History,
there are listed 149 species. Mr.. Kendall
has spent a considerable part of the
last 20 years in studying the habits
and geological distribution OF the
marine and fresh water fishes OF
Maine. The work has several times
taken him by water the entire length
of the coast and he has visited many
of the bays and fishing centeres. On
the fresh waters, all Of the larger and
most important lakes and rivers, as
we'll as many Of the minor waters.
have been explored.
From this catalogue It appears that
there are SO species OF fishes that may
be considered almost strictly marine.
OF these only II are at present OF any
commercial value. or the 149 species,
also only IS can be called strictly
fresh water fishes. about IA OF these
food fishes of more or less importance
and some of them are highly esteemed
game fishes, such as the salmon. pick
erel and black bass. 1t will be remem-
bered that Maine was one OF the
arst states to undertake fish culture.
In 1867 the first State Fish Commiss-
ION was appointed and since that time
various species have been propagated
and distributed.
Since 172 the United States Fish
Commission has cooperated IN the
work. and great numbers OF young
fish have been planted In the waters
Of the state. Many depleted lakes ana
streams have been restocked with
trout. Landlocked salmon have been
introduced into many waters not be-
fore containing them. where they nave
become acclimated and have increased
in numbers. A number OF species
foreign to the State have also been
introduced, including the black bass
which in suitable waters has proved
valuable food and game fish. Smells
also have proved a success IN almost
every instance Of their INTRODUCTION
and in some lakes have remarkably
increased IN numbers and size.
OF the 149 species Of fishes cata-
logued as found in the salt and fresh
waters Of Maine, only the following
% are food fishes; Cod, haddock, cum
ners, bake. cusk. swordfish, bluef1sh,
butter fish, mackerel, shad, herring,
pollock, smelt, salmon, alewife. EEL
minnow, club, sucker, founder. black
bass, perch. toGue, trout, pickerel.

Concerning Homesieknsss

A note in a recent issue Of the Eng
fish Lancet describes inconsistencies as
specific disease of mental origin, with
physical symptoms. which is liable to
afflict recruits. especially young re-
cruits. 1t Is, Of course, kind Of melan-
cholia. but happily no cases seem to
have been observed in our own new
army. No doubt many cases may be
noted among interned prisoners of war.
Cases were observed during the Ameri-
can Civil War and an American army
surgeon has given a picture OF the dis
ease.
THE symptoms produced by this
alteration of mind" he writes. ARE
first great mental detection, loss of
appetite. Indifference to external influ-
ences, and slight hectic fever. AS the
disease progresses it is attended by
hysterical weeping, a dull pain in the
head, throbbing of the temporal AFTER
les, anxious expression of the face.
watchfulness and increased fever and
wasting. Among young prisoners Of
war 1t Is the worst complication to be
encountered. as the writer can truth
fully affirm" This sounds like a very
bad form Of inconsistencies indeed. The
Italians, by the way, speak Familiarity
Of inconsistencies as a regular disease

When They Mined the Nile.

In the Sudan campaign as the Brit
ish troops approached Omdurman the
Khalifa Abdullah conceived the idea
Of upsetting the British gunboat ex-
petition by mining the Nile. A former
officer of the Egyptian army whom
he had long held prisoner was order
ed by the khalifa to construct couple
Of mines, which were produced forth
with. They were primitive in form,
consisting, in fact, of two old iron
boilers stuffed with gunpowder. In
which was concealed a pistol with a
string attached to the trigger whereby
the charge could be exploded. The
first mine was laid by the Ismailia and
worked by a native crew. and demon
strated its efficiency by exploding on
the instant. sinking the Ismailia and
killing the crew. including the mine
constructor.
The khalifa was delighted, not at the
accident, but at the testimony to the
power Of the invention, and immedt-
ately ordered the emir in charge OF his
arsenal to lay the second mine. The
ameer, profiting by experience. insured
his safety by putting the Nile into the
boiler before he put the boiler into the
Nile. He then carried out the INNER
sion successfully, to the JOY OF Abdul
lah. who loaded him with presents
and praises" Guardian.

The population of Norway is nearly

The Sikh's Disc Of Death.

The Sikhs fighting in the war can
certainly claim to possess the most
unique form Of weapon Of any military
unit in the campaign. This is a hand
thrown missile. composed Of metal
similar in shape to the discus with
which we have been made familiar in
Roman history. Its edge is sharpened
like a razor, and the weapon. when
thrown with a peculiar circular mo-
ton, has extraordinary penetrating
power. It cuts like a knife through
paper. At a distance of a hundred
Yards the disc is capable of cutting its
way through a piece of hard wood two
inches thick. 1t is the peculiar twist
given to the weapon when 1t is thrown
which causes the cutting edge to bury
itself so remorselessly in anything that
it meets. It is doubtful whether any but
the Sikhs could effectively use this
unique weapon. They made deadly use

Dixmude.-London Tit Bits.
