Fish Plentiful in Chile.

Along The coast OF Chile, many
sections Of which are practically un-
inhabited at present. graves Of the
aborigines are found In great num-
bers, and they invariably contain
implements for sea fishing. From
prehistoric times the coast of Chile
has been noted for its diverse and
extensive fisheries. The fishes are so
plentiful that sea birds by the mil
lions, feeding on them, are found
along the coast, and the numerous
guano Islands indicate the great
length Of time the birds frequented
these waters. With methods similar
10 those used in other countries, the
fishing industry could be revolution
lied and established on very large
scale. The present methods in Chile
are no more advanced than they were
thousands of years ago. The need Is
felt by the Chlleans themselves. The
lack of sea food was recently the
subject OF a demand from the labor
