Poisonous matter clogged in the in

When this poison reaches the delicate

New York.-A new use for air
planes had been found. Schools Of
fish for which the fishing fleets along
the coast may search yainly for days
can be detected from seaplane, nc'
cordlng to report by W, W. Welsh
of the bureau of fisheries.
The report of Mr.. Welsh followed
trip he made In n naval seaplane from
the Cape Mny naval air station. The
flight was made at from 800 to 1000
feet and AT n speed Of 10 miles an
hour. AT the time of the flight no
schooling fish were breaking water on
the surface, and none could be seen
from the crows nest of n vessel or
from fishing piers.
"rhe plane assembled rapidly to
about 500 feet, and most of the trip
was made at that altitude" Mr. Welsh
reported. "Few schools Of fish were
seen at first, but as my eye grew ac-
cnstomed TO the conditions many small
schools Of menhaden were observed.

of them breaking water Some schools
were so near the surface that they

Large Schools Observed.
"Deeper schools had the appearance
Of large masses of sunken gufweed,
and others were so deep that they
could be distinguished chiefly by the
shadow they caused on the suspended
particles In the water. From com
parison with other objects seen ut

depth Of the schools varied from
about two feet to ten feet, or pos.
sibly more.
