Purse seining

Purse seines are more numerous in Alaska than traps, and their aggre. cate catch of salmon exceeds that of i,aps. Purse seines are used chiefl,. in southeast Alaska, and there are t'go neighboring districts where this ethod of fishing is particularly pre-
 lent namely, Karta Bay ana
 olmondeley Sound, off the eastern ore of Prince of Wales Island. By " of example of the heavy and con ested nature of purse seine oper tioRs. it may be said that this past Il in the very limited area of these 70 waters there were about 15f nrse seines fishing at one time. The shermen use purse seines in cer in sections of Alaska because nt lther kind of gear seems to answei the purpose so well. As already in licated. this principle also applies t trap fishing.
 However. purse seining can not b. recommended as desirable meth0l of fishing, particularly for the reasol

General Methods

There is probably no part of this yeat industry that has created more controversy than the methods em-
 oye, in catching the 60,000.000 ssl- eon which are taken each year from he waters of Alaska. It is an .asv matter for those who favor certain forms of fishing apparatus to lamc those using other forms for he alleged illumination in the supp of salmon. but it is not easy for ! disinterested person to ascertain the -olative effect and place the res oonsibility TOT any injury that may .esult from any abuses of these methods.
 The four principal methods are rap fishing. purse seining, haul or eaeh seining, and gill netting. Troll Ing for king salmon is placed under mother head. at it is so distinctly q separate business and so closely affil lated with mild curing that an in ependent discussion will prove more sclpful than to take it up with the eineipal methods used in catching >laska' s enormous production of sock rs humpback. silver. and chum alnon. I have studied these four ethods of fishing froman entirely un rejudiced stanapoint.a nd l have ioted the various conditions and haxr iewed them from every angle. In some parts of Alaska certain con itions obtain. in others they are CT
 rely different Therefore. I will -ndeavor in this part of my report as yem as under other heads, to co Fl phases of the question, looked at rom all sides.
 Que of the things that impress le most foreihly was the fact tAai everyone that used any partieria ind of fishing gear did so beeavs suited his conditions lest and le .ause it was the best business metao' nd produced tine Lest results. Ths feature alone Is what every busin esz man tries to bring out most clear in conducting any enterprise.

Tobacco smokers who feel that the habit is injurious to their health, who have tried to quit and could not, may or may not be pleased to learn that the less tobacco. There is a theory that boiled dumplings are good only when they are "gummy" and indigestible. Sc tobacco may be enjoyed only because it is poisonous. At any rate, 1t is the nicotine in tobacco that doctors con- demn Nicotine is the poison that causes tobacco heart" and other ills
 In an experiment station in Landis- vile, Pa, the government is breeding a tobacco without nicotine The ex- pertinent began three years ago. A number of tobacco plants were analyz- ed and the seeds of the one having the least nicotine content were planted the next spring. From that crop the seeds of the stalk with the least nicotine were planted again, and so on, until IhlS year the nicotine Tn the stalk mas been reduced by this process of selec- tion from 3.5 per cent. to 1.31 per cent The flavor was said to be not affected in the least The tobacco with only 1.31 per cent. of nicotine was as satis- flying to old smokers as the other The government hopes to be able to "breed out' all the nicotine, and if it does We may have kind of tobacco that may be smoked with impunity.

THE CHANT OF HATE.

It is gratifying to see the firm stand taken by the German Press in an eff fort to suppress the Chant of Hate Though the author in the excitement of the moment was decorated by the Kaiser, matured thought has convinced the sober minded German people that is being made to prevent it's perpetra- ton by being placed in books, parti- cularly those intended for the young.
 The war has engendered bitterness enough without vicious effusions of this kind which pander to the tastes ot the mob It is not the brave men in the trenches who deal most in calumny. TC nourish the youth of the country. on feelings of passionate hatred would dwarf their nature and breed fearful consequences for the future It is as harmful in war as it is in peace. We recall with a sickening realization the battle cry of our last war. When American passions ran high and the dominant note was hatred of Spain, we could not understand that there was a savage and brutal tone in the cry Of our soldiers the Maine It was unjust as it was uncivilized and we are now ashamed of 1t
 The war will end some day and in the general course of affairs commer- cial and social intercourse will be re- stunned between the warning nations. Ii that peace the whole world is looking forward to with longing eyes is to be a lasting one, songs of hatred must Dc forgotten Progress.

A paper IueuoaI that can De packed root, put that, when Innated, Is sea worthy anu uuraDle, IS lne invention ol u reened admlral ot the Japanes, navy, says Tit Bits.
 1ne boat IS constructed from the Japanese paper called hasnikirazu when Is treated chemically to make II waterproof. The paper comes from ene mulberry tree. IL is unusually auiaDIe, and possesses great strength when the stresses are in the direction 1I lhe nbre.
 A thin sheet of paper that is strong ~nea stretched in any direction is made Dy pasting two sheets with the flores crossing at right angles. The first boat that the admiral made was merely d kind of large pillow with a depres- sion in the center, the whole being in- Hated with air. Because of the ease with which paper can be punctured, it was necessary to change the method o1 construction, so several pipe-like bags were made and placed side by aide in the form of raft, and that raft finally modified to a craft something like a boat in shape.
 The result is a life-saving craft al- most immune to wreck, for even if one or two of the pipes are punctured or broken, the boat still is buoyant enough to be seaworthy.
 owing to it's strength and lightness and it's waterproof qualities, the hash ikirazu paper is evidently adapted to wide range of uses, among which are the making of coverings for aeroplane wings and for dirigible balloons.
