LOBSTER NOW LUXURY.
Food Has Passed Beyond the Reach of the Poorer People.
Should Catch Small Lobster and Leave Larger Ones to Breed, is Opinion
 Expressed by Expert.

The lobster has passed beyond the reach Of the poor and has become luxury only to be enjoyed by the rich. Every year the price of Holsters ad- vances few points, and even at the highest price offered 1t is difficult to obtain them. From Massachusetts comes the information that were 1t not for the catches in Maine and Nova Scotia, Holsters could not be had in Massachusetts, for the waters of that state have been fished out In 1888, so the Boston Transcript says, l,740S5O Holsters of legal size were caught in Massachusetts. In 1914, only 1613s were taken there. The opinion seems to be gaining ground in Massachusetts that mistake has been made in deal. ing with the lobster industry. The small lobster has been protected, while the large lobster, which is the one which produces an enormous quantity of young, has been taken. This. it is held by some, Is wrong. We should catch the small lobster, 30 1t is argued, and leave the bigger ones to breed.
 There seems to be some virtue in this contention, because fn spite of the lobster matching plants maintained by the federal government fewer Holsters are being taken each year, while the demand for them is continually in- creasing. This, of course, accounts for ;. the high prices. It is also claimed that in planting lobster fry the federal agents have made serious blunders. The fry have been liberated in places attacks of other fish, and few of the Holsters matched in the government plants have ever attained size where they could look after them. selves. The experienced fisherman of the Maine coast have frequently called attention to4 the mistakes which were being made in lobster propagation and preservation, but as frequently hap pens in the making of laws, the opin- ions of men who know something about Holsters and their habits have been ignored. and the theorists have been the only ones consulted.
 If the federal government should put closed time on lobsters for several years and arrange with the Canadian government to do the same thing, it is reasonable to suppose that the lob sters would increase and this industry would regain something of the magni tude it has lost. But we have no idea that such 8 plan will be adopted. IL would be ,strenuously opposed by the dealers. who now make large profits in the business, and probably by the fishermen also, who have considerable capital tied up in their fishing gear What has happened in Massachusetts where few Holsters are now being taken, must eventually take place ir Maine, and unless some radical step is adopted the time is not far away wher even as a luxury the lobster will be- come so scarce. as to be beyond the reach of everyone save the epicurean of the plutocratic class.-Portland Press.

Fish Equs.

The cod Is estimated to yield 45,0OO.. GOO eggs each season. As many as 5000, ,0OO, 100000 and even 9500O00 eggs have been found in the roe of a single cod. An eel was caught in Scot. land some years ago which contained upward of 10,000,000 eggs. This. how. ever, would appear to have been an .ex- ceptional find. and it is generally ad. mitted that the cod is more prolific than any other fish. Though not equaling the cod, many kinds of fish are exceedingly prolific. More than 36,O00 eggs have been counted lin a herring, 38,OOO in a smelt, 100000 in "a sole, 1,120OO0 in g: roach, 3.OOO,O0O in sturgeon, 342,OOO in a carp, 383.OO0 in a tench. 546,O0O. in a mackerel, 992,0O0 in perch, and 1,357, ,OOO in a founder. The oyster is also very prolific. It has been as. certained by recent observation that in the liquor of their shells small oysters can be seen by aid of the mi. croscope- in the space of an inch, covered with shells, and swimming ac. lively about. A herring weighing six or seven ounces is provided with about. 3O,OOO eggs. It has been estl. mated that in three years single pair of herrings would produce 54,0OO.OO Buffon calculated that if pair of herrings could be left to breed and multiply undisturbed for period'|cf 20 years they would yield an amount of fish equal in bulk to the .globesl London Tit-Bits. ,,'' ;, =. ia
