-ISHING with cormorants is not
IL entirely foreign to the English
people, as early in the seven
teenth century it was common
| ly done in Old England, where the
master of cormOrants was one of the
officers of the royal household. In
Japan this way of fishing has been
practiced merely for economic pur-
poses, not for sporting ones as it was
in England, says Kiyoshi Sakamoto in
an article in Country Life. Its origin
here dates, indeed, from as far back
as $50 B. c.; that is conclusively
proved by the ''uta" composed by very
early japanese poets. In ancient times
civilization came into Japan from
China, but I think this utilization of
the "feathered fishers" must have been
exported, on the contrary, TO the
middle kingdom, for there is documen-
tary evidence in China to show that it
was first practiced there early in the
sixteenth century.
In Japan this practice has been safe
ly handed down to the present day,
pTOlecleu ny llle law ldiu uoMH ~
Iyeyasu (the first Shotgun of the
Tokugawa dynasty, that prohibited
anything that would be likely to hinder
the practice of the fishing. There is
another reason why the operation,
though primitive in its way, is still
carried out in our country. The bird
has by instinct the faculty of choosing
the fish which are the best as table
delicacies. The fish caught by the
cormOrant are far more delicious than
those secured by any other method.
The imperial household department,
with a view to protecting this old
practice of fishing, pays now % yens
Or 20 yen per year as pension to the
professional fishers, and offers them
free access to the dead pine trees in
he imperial forests as fuel for the
0raziers.
The cormorant is chiefly used in ia
pan to catch ayu Qiterally, fragrant
fish''), which is a kind of sweet fish,
and is known to ichthyologists as
plecoglossus altivelis T. and S. Some
of them measure more than a foot In
length, but generally 6 or inches.
The season for the fishing is from May
TO October. during which time rivers
are visited by the small migratory
fish. As 10 the ayu, Mr.. c. Ingram
states: "The Japanese epicures praise
the ayu very highly as table dellcacy,
though it must be admitted that the |
occidental palate usually |
fail~ to detect it's culinary merits; in
fact. when l tasted it I thought it
rather unfavorably with the
smelt, fish it specifically resembles"
I am told that great number of the
avn caught in the River Niagara arc
sent every summer to the imperial
household through the local governor,
as boiled ayu is one of the Mikado's
favorite dishes.
Birds Not Hard to Train.
The cormorant (the best species for
the purpose is phalacrocorax capillat-
us) is apparently not very hard TO

the bird is being tanned the keeper
binds its beak with a cord, so that it

to carry the bird hooded till it could

was kept quiet. The operation is

YOUNG RUSSIAN
 HAS AMBITIONS
 FOR DIPLOMACY

Alec Regis sees a great future for a young man in the relations which will be assumed between the United States and Russia after the war, and for that reason has determined to fit himself to enter the diplo- matic service of one or the other of the two countries. He is young Russian, brother of Bill BegiS, the well known wood dealer, and has been here but two years, but, com ing to Alaska in 1915 direct from Russia and with but little schooling, he has already acquired a good read ing and writing knowledge of the English language and also speaks it fluently. A third brother, John, also formerly of Fairbanks, is al ready attending an engineering school in New York.
 Young Begis has a great thirst for knowledge, and has learned all he knows of English practically by himself by steady application. He plans to go from Fairbanks to San Francisco, where he will enter a law school. There he will study with the idea of learning law such as pertains to foreign nations, par ticularly Russia, and, after finishing school, will attempt to get into the corps of the United States and ask that he be stationed in Russia, his mother country. The many friends of the young man pre- diet success for him in his endeavor feeling that he will some day be heard from, knowing him and his studious habits as they do.
