How Il Was Done.

That 1t was an undertaking of some
magnitude to arrange for the trans
portation of these two shipments of
salmon eggs to Australia is shown by
the great mass OF documents and pa
pers on file in the Commissioners
office. which includes something like
80 letters Of from one to three type
written pages, two cablegrams and nu-
merous kilograms. 1t was write. write
write and phone and wire, until things
were Strengthened out to the very dot
OF minuteness and not a hitch occurred
IN any particular, the schedule being
followed to the minute and the eggs
being in SPLENDID condition on arrival.

companying this little story shows the

buildings at the Maine State hatchery

Names fish and game are known the
! world over, their reputation being OF
the highest and their praise coming
from all parts. That the following
little story will serve to boom the
Pine Tree State in the sporting line
will not be doubted when you read it,
because it is one of the finest adver-
tisements ever given any place or re-
gion in that way. Listen!
The Maine Inland Fish and Game
mission. in 1910, when Leroy T. Garlic
ton was chairman, was approached
through correspondendence by the gov
eminent fisheries department of Tas-
mania, Australia, in respect to obtain
ing for shipment to that far-away
country for propagation of a quantity
of our Maine landlocked salmon eggs.
The Maine commissioners were pleased
at such a request, showing as it did
the worldwide reputation Of our
sporting fish, and Immediately began
making arrangements for forwarding
large enough quantity to give them
a thorough trial in the other climate.
It was a somewhat long and tedious
job to perfect all plans for the prompt
shipment and necessary attention for
the eggs through their long journey.
but all the transportation people be-
came interested and the arrangements
were finally made, every plan resulting
perfectly. The hatchery decided on
to supply the eggs was the Auburn
hatchery and the kind Of fish the
Sebago land locked salmon.
Personal attention was given the
matter by General Superintendent Of
Hatcheries Arthur Briggs and Supt.
John F. Stanley of the Auburn hatch
cry SO that when Feb. 16, 1910, the day
Of the shipping, arrived the eggs were
ready. packed in the best known man
ner in specially arranged cars and
awaited all along the line by men in
terested in the successful carrying out
Of the scheme. They were five days
on the trans-continental trip and then
sailed from Vancouver on r. NJ. S.
Makura for Sydney, from whence
they were reshipped via steamer Wes-
tralia to Hobart. and then by rail to
Launceston, where the Waverly fish
ing ponds, the plant Of the Northern
Tasmanian Fisheries Association, as
the government fisheries department is
known, are located.
The Eggs Safely Arrive.
Reports from Australia soon came to
Augusta of the safe arrival on March
% of the Maine salmon eggs, in splen-
did condition-thanks to the careful
packing and care bestowed en- route
with all kinds Of words of apprecia-
ton for the kindness of the Maine
Fish and Game Commission and it's
officials and the attention Of all who
had assisted during the long journey
of the consignment.
The Tasmanian newspapers devoted
large amount Of space to the expert
ment and all had the kindliest Of
words for the cooperation of the
American friends. The annual report

ment Immediately placed upon the
cover Of the annual report a hand

has since placed the same upon the
official letterhead.
The report Of 1910 tells how the eggs
were received. packed in a splendidly
devised case, arranged so as to spare
the eggs every possible jar, they being
arranged in trays, about Is inches
square. placed one below the other

then piece Of porus fabric, then an
other layer Of moss to keep and sus-
tain the moisture; the space between
the trays and sides of the case were
filled with sawdust, with a large
compartment on top for ice. which
was faithfully renewed when neces-
sary during the 35-days trip, and
which supplied, by constant dripping,
the necessary moisture to the ova in
the several trays below Printed plac-
ards on the exterior of the case gave
full instructions for everyone along the
route as to what to do and what not to
do to the shipment. It had to be stored
on heaps Of straw, because severe JOLT
dng would kill the eggs. It had to be we'll
iced, because the eggs when shipped
were so far developed, having reached
the Eyed" state. that in warmer
temperature they would have Matched
en- route and of course been lost.
Well, they arrived safely, with a
smaller loss than was expected and
everyone was pleased, especially the
Tasmanians, for they had for so years
been vainly trying to introduce some
sporting fish In their country. We say
safely, but Of course that does not
mean that every egg was in perfect
condition, but the bulk was. The Tas-
manian Fisheries Department report
ed: Eggs dead arrival Vancouver 500;
on voyage to Sydney 400; on arrival
Hobart Is; within "a hours Of submer-
sion on arrival Launceston 1886; total
loss in transit 1850.
Tasmanians Arc Pleased.
All the eggs Matched out in a week
hot weather was experienced from
March rs to April 1, the final effort Of
the Australian summer, and extra eff
forts had to be made to save them.
Even with the liberal use Of ice to
keep the temperature down, 1886 eggs
died during the Matching and 2235 Of
the aleVinS and fry also died between
April l and June 10, leaving accord
ing to the Tasmanian figures 1850
fry to be turned into the rearing pens,
equal to 77.40 per cent. of the original
number of eggs shipped from Auburn,
Me, u. S. A, a splendid piece Of work.
A large gathering Of influential citi-
zens met at the government fishing
ponds at I.aunceston on April IA, 1910,
for the purpose of inspecting the ire
cently-imported Sebago salmon" and
the event was made a notable occa-
sion, the Stars and Stripes being dis
played from the hatcheries, the fry
much admired by the visitors, lunch
con was served and speeches in praise
of Our cousins in Maine" made.
Thus the experiment went along.
The report of the year 1911 said that
40 per cent. of the fry had lived and
were growing, very satisfactory re-
suit. The yearlings-6210 in number

witty, tender, strongminded grand
opera idol especially suited to her
strength, will be presented at the Iris
Monday, upon the screen, on the Para
mount program in THE Tongues of
Men" The young rector of an aristo-
cratic church denounces from the pull
pill the grand opera 'tZaporah" and
the corrupting influence exerted by
the woman who sings it, notwithstand-
ing the fact he has never witnessed
the performance. The visit of the
outra ged prima donna to his own YES
try room to discuss the attack, the
revelation of her really splendid per
sonality and sincerity, and the senti-
mental outcome it works with the
young rector makes one of the crisp
est stories the screen has seen in
years.
Tuesday the bill will be William
