years fishery. was no less than s3s5.2S3,
according to the most recent fisheries
service bulletin issued by the United
States bureau of fisheries The num-
Der of pounds of this highly edible
| fish, which up to little more than a
year ago had been for several decades
unknown to American tables, was
more than ten million, and is fairly
indicative of the results of the keen
interest taken by the Department of
Commerce in American home econom-
les. for to the advertising of valuable
qualities of the fish by the bureau of
fisheries it's remarkably extensive utlll-
cation is largely due. Tilefish has ap-
peared on bills of-fare of cities as far
off as Seattle. it is announced.
Among other points noted in the bull
letin are the grayfsh campaign, SIM
liar to that pursued in regard to tile
ton for the collection of oceanographic
material of the fisheries vessel Gram
pus; the propagation of diamond-back
terrapin in North Carolina, the plant
ing Of Atlantic Holsters in Paclnc
waters and a shipment of 1861 seal
skins from the Pribilof Islands.
Terrapin Propagation Successful.
The 1915 brood of North Carolina
terrapin is the best lot ever Matched
at the Beaufort station, it is said, and
the experiments in regard to the propa-
ration of this valuable and delicious
food supply continue to meet with
excellent success. The take" of the
eggs of the big lake trout. the most
valuable food fish of the entire great
lakes basin, extending from Minnesota
to New York, is the largest in the his.
tory of the bureau. The total is more
than 1o7, 0oo, 900, exceeding by 80 per
cent the best previous record.

stated, Pacific salmon have gained

DEAD LETTER OFFICE
FINDS OVER S2,25O,0OO
Checks, Drafts, Money Orders and
Other Valuable Papers in
Parcels Reaching It.

More than se.250.oo0 worth of checks
drafts. money orders and other valuable
papers were found in unbelievable let
ters by the dead letter office during the
last year. and practically all were re-
stored to their owners. First Assistant
Postmaster General Daniel c. Roper in
his annual report announces that the
dead letter division handled 10,S398e0
letters and parcels during the year, a
slight increase over the previous year
One-third Of these letters and parcels
or 3.6..,1s4. was delivered; 101, 485 con-
tained things of value without clue to
their serders and were held FOR claim
ants: 1.01s.436 had to be destroyed. and
1,1ao were still being investigated.
IL addition to the valuable papers
with face value of s2,303.119 found
in unbelievable letters. many con-
tanned stamps. and some currency was
found loose in the mails. The stamps
and currency unclaimed. together with
proceeds from the sale of articles of
merchandise removed from undeliver-
able letters. aggregated s53,665, and
81, ooo was realized from six months
operation of a new postal regulation
requiring collection of i cent on ad-
vertised letters. making the total net
revenue s64.665- Mr.. Roper says that
the revenue estimated under present
conditions for a year would be APP
proximately $4,000. which would make
the dead letter division seIf-sustaining
Letters Held Only Two Years.
To prevent the unnecessary accumu-
lation OF letters containing valuable in
closures, a provision was contained in
the last postal appropriation law re-
ducing the limit OF time that such let
tiers shall be held awaiting reclamation
from four years to two years. The Post
Office Department has decided to dis
continue the final disposition of dead
parcels by the post offices at Pitts
burgh and Cleveland. Such matter
formerly going to Pittsburgh will be
sent to New York city, while that in
Ohio. formerly going to Cleveland, will
be sent to Cincinnati. and matter from
/. will go to Chicago.
On account of the large growth in
the parcel post business experience has
demonstrated that the accumulation of
this matter at the points designated for
handling dead parcels has become so
large as TO make IL difficult to find
space for its accommodation. Pegula-
tions provide. in the case of insured
parcels. that claims for indemnity must
be filed within six months. and il has
been found there is very little call for
lost parcels after the lapse of that
time. Accordingly. an order will be is

parcels prior to sale from twelve
