desirable haul Of unwelcome pests from
the deep The fisherman not only loses
the valuable fish for which his lines were
set but also his time, the labor expended
in setting them, the value of his bait and
all of the countless items which comprise
the fsherman's expenses.
Often greater in many respects than
these damages is the havoc which the
sharp teeth of the dogfish create when
they cut the fishing lines and nets like
shears and leave the poor hsherman's
property little more than a fringe of tat
ters attached to foot and head lines.
This is what happens annually during
the fishing season on the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts. These conditions are,
bound to recur each year. The supply
OF dogfish is seemingly endless and the
deep sea appears ever ready to roll forth
a new and vigorous pack whenever one
is exterminated.
Financially, this 10 a matter of no
small consequence to the fisheries Of
the country. Both the Atlantic and Pa
cifc fishermen are suffering grave
losses which they are apparently un-
able to prevent. Frequently their only
recourse to save their property and
avoid an utter waste of effort is to
abandon their fisheries until the dog
fish have departed to other scenes.
This procedure obviously entails the
sacrifice of their livelihoods.

mated at not less than 100000. which

fish problem solved once for all to the
satisfaction of both fisherman and the
general consuming public.
DR.. Smith also suggests that a proba Bile
cause for the prevalence of the feeling
against dogfsh is due to it's name. The
public eats catfish with equanimity but
SHES at dogfish. For this reason he rec
ommends that the scientific name be used

having the same derivation as the name
of the plant whose leaves have been con-
ventionalized into the Corinthian column
IT is calculated to arouse more pleasant
associations in the minds of epicureans
than the name now in vogue.
Success is likely to attend the projects
which DR. Smith suggests. Popularizing
a little known fish is not an untried ex-
pertinent at the bureau. 1t will be re
membered that the tilefish has recently
been exploited successfully and is now
being sold at the rate of ten tons a
day in New York city and is featured on
the menus of every high-class hotel

dogfshw But why not? The fact
that they are a despised species does
not affect their edibility or their nutri-
tive qualities. That the people of the
United States do not eat them at pres
ent is no justification that they cannot
be introduced into the national debt.
* X
If dogfsh are not eaten in the United
States, it is solely on account of pref
udice. In Europe the fish are used ex-
tensively and during the past few
years they have emerged from their
odium in England. 1t has, indeed. grown
SO much in popular favor that 5,500.000
pounds. representing a value of $4,000,
were marketed in 1912. the last year
for which figures may be procured. In
fresh fish shops 1t masquerades, and is
readily eaten as plaice, one of the most
popular of English fish. This fact
demonstrates that when the prejudice
against dogfish is eliminated its intro
ductfon and general consumption will
naturally follow. In Norway and
Sweden 1t is eaten both fresh and
salted, and Germany maintains huge
canning factories that pack and dis
tribute 1t as a delicacy equal to eel.
The bureau of fisheries is encouraged
to follow this method. 1t thinks that it
is possible to introduce the dogfish
into general use over the head of a well
founded prejudice. educate the public
to a realization of It's qualities and
even enliven the lukewarm interest of
the fishermen themselves.
Dogfish are well suited for canning.

may be directly traced to dogfsh. In
cidentally this loss has it's inevitable
effect upon the cost of fish to the en-
tire fish-eating public. The entire
country. therefore. suffers.
How to ameliorate the damage
wrought by the dogfish is the ques-
tion which confronts the bureau of
fisheries. Owing to the extreme abun-
dance of the fish. its wide distribution,
remarkable swimming powers and
their wandering habits. which carry
them over broad expanses of the seas
in which they live, it is probable that
little can ever be done in reducing
their numbers. The fact stands that
they cannot be exterminated. The only
economic solution. therefore. is that
they be utilized and the curse of their
presence be converted into blessing.
1t has been said and shown that dog
fish may be utilized for manufacturing
fertilizer. 1t has even been suggested
that the government erect and support
factories for the purpose of supplying
farmers with fertilizer at cost. But
such a plan was followed by the
Canadian government, and from the
figures which their reduction works
have supplied it is apparent to the au-
satisfactory. 1t will cost more to
manufacture such Fertilizer per ton
than the present market price.
The most attractive plan set forth to
those who are most vitally interested
in the subject Is that dogf1sh may be
popularized and utilized as food. This
proposition. experts say. is practical
and economically sound.

Two species swim in the waters of the
Atlantic coast. the spined or horned
dogfish, which has the more northern
range, and the smooth dogfish, which
is abundent south of Cape Cod. These
differ somewhat in the character of
their flesh, the spined species being
more oily and resembling the medium
grades Of salmon. The smooth dogfiSh
is drier. and when used fresh its flavor
has been likened to that of halibut.
Both. so far as food is concerned, re-
semble other fish now highly esteemed
for table use. Their flesh is white and
contains no small bones. Experiments
show that it is not lacking in palata-
bility or nutritiousness. The bureau
has undertaken to have some OF this
fish canned for demonstration. and 1t
is expected that it may eventually sue
ceed in relieving the dearth of fish
food from which some of the interior
sections of the country continually SUI
fer Even if the coast cities persist in
exclusive allegiance to the present
popular fish and do not allow the dog
fish to supplant them in favor, 1t does
not argue that the market will be
totally unappreciative elsewhere.
Certain secondary products of the
dogfish could probably find a mar
ket if the value of the flesh could
be established. The liver is rich

A Curious B0mbardment.

THE Island of st. Thomas. in the
u West Indies. has near its shores
the Ship Rock. which appears, when seen
from a short distance. like a full-rigged
ship under canvas. If the sky is clouded
and atmosphere hazy the illusion is
remarkable.
There is told the story of a mortifying
mistake made by a French corvette
while cruising in these latitudes years
ago. 1t was at a time when the buc-
cancers were making great havoc with
legitimate commerce in the West Indies.
The coast was partially hidden by a fog
when the corvette made out this rock,
and, supposing 1t to be a ship under
full sail. fired a gun to leeward to bid
her heave to. OF course, there was no
response to the shot. and the Frenchman
brought his ship closer and cleared the
decks for action.
Satisfied that he had to do with q
powerful adversary, he discharged the
whole of his starboard armament into
the supposed ship looming through the
mist. The corvette went about and pre-
pared to deliver her port guns in a
similar manner. Then the fog slowly
dispersed. and the rock smiled grimly

most part due to encouraging letters

The Irish were the first people to
come to the United States in large num-
bers as immigrants, and during the
thirty years from 1921 to 1850. Ireland
contributed more than two-hfths OF all
our immigrants. and more than one
third during the next ten years. They
came most rapidly during the decades
of 1s41 to 1860. Since then, however,
they have fallen off both in absolute
numbers and in relative propor1on'
dropping to the third place in rank,
that is, below the Germans and the
English for the period of 1851 to 1890.
Since the rapid influx of immigrants
from southeastern Europe, the lrlsn
have fallen to sixth place In the list OF
immigrant races. The total number
coming to the United States for the
twelve years from 1899 to 1910 was
9.724. Their rate of movement, now
ever, is still high, being in 1907 eight
