. School of Weakfish.

"One school of silvery fish was OBJ
served breaking water. Those were
possibly weakfish, certainly not mem
haden, Ms they lacked the character
istic color Of the latter. A school OF
porpoises was clearly seen, and could
bo followed under water. The range
of visibility Of the menhaden schools
varied according to the depth of the
school and the angle Of Incidence of
the suns rays, However, had the fish
been rlffling the surface they could
have been seen as far as the size Of
the school and the atmospheric condi-
tons permitted.
This was evident by the visibility
Of the tide rips and catsaws OF wind
upon the surface, The deeper the school
the more necessary II was to approach
Il in order to see II, The deepest
schools observed were only visible di-
rectly above, When the suns rays
were reflected from the surface it was
impossible to see anything, and the Wis
ibility only improved MS the eye was
directed away from the angle of Incl
dence of the sun. on the particular day
In question the majority of schools
of fish were at such a depth that they
were invisible at n greater angle than
45 or 80 from the nadir and visible only
on the side Of the plane ava from the
sun. But some schools nearer the sur
face could be seen much further off"

search work Is to be carried on would

gion much more vivid and detailed than
any that could be obtained by charts,
descriptions or ordinary a of in

Besides the general value of such
observation, in no other way can such
n clear idea be obtained of the album
canoe or scarcity Of fish schooling spe-
clos and the characteristic appearance
OF the schools as well as of all other
forms Of surface life. The location and
extent Of nets, number and position Of

latinE TO the fisheries can thus be nc
curately observed in n mere fraction Of
the time that would be required in any

AIRCRAFT TO AID

Trend Of Schools Is Visible at
Depth of Ten Feet in Water
From Plane Flying High
Over Ocean.

NEW YORK. Oct, lT.-An entirely
new field for the employment of air
planes has been opened by w. w.
Welsh, of the bureau OF fisheries, who
recently made an experimental flight
from Cape May over the ocean. As a
result of his observations. Mr.. Welsh
has suggested the use OF the airplane
to locate schools of fish that are not
visible from the deck or crows nest Of
fishing smacks. From the airplune,
however, 1t is possible to detect even
small schools far below the surface.
In "A letter to the navy recruiting
officer, No. "a East Esd street, Mi.
Welsh says;
In accordance with instructions re-
oelved ! proceeded to Cape May. n. j.,
and made arrangements with the COM
manding officer OF the naval air station
at that place for the use of a seaplane.
ON July ", 1919, a flight Of about one
and one-haJf hour was made. from II
am. until 1890 pm, There was a
light westerly breeze and smooth sea
covered with small ripples, The sky
was clear, except for a few scattered
clouds, n at no time was the sun
obscured. The course followed was
from Cold Spring Inlet 10 the Delaware
Breakwater, thence to the Five Fathom
Bank, and return to Cold Spring In
let. The average speed was about ~
miles an hour at an altitude of 500 to
1000 feet.
