NEW FRENCH DRAMATIC
COMPANY TO TOUR

In harmony with the great interest
in French music and drama. ais well
as other branches OF the fine arts, a
company is being formed from the
French theater in New York TO pre-
sent a repertoire of modern French
plays in the original in the impor-
cities Of the United States from
New York to California next season.
Except for the appearances of
Madam Bernhardt, the opportunity
has been denied cities beyond New
York to year the French language
spoken as Il dramatic medium. and
even Madame Bernhardt has been en-
abled to appear in but a few Of the
American cities.
This dramatic company will present
masterpieces of French dramatic art.
and will especially present plays of
modern theme by the leading drama
lists of the present. II will complete
its American season by an engage
mcrt in New York several weeks after
finishing its tour.

streams m a be I quickly ruined
through the planting therein OF bass,
or lakes stocked with some defense
less valuable food-fsh may be depict
ed by the thoughtIess planting OF
some comparatively unimportant ra-
pacious species.
"Some of the states have been quick
to recognize the necessity for restrict
ing the planting of non-native fishes.
and have enacted laws prohibiting
the Introduction OF any fish not APP
proved by the state authorities, One
of the most persistent demands on the
United States Bureau of Fisheries is
for black bass to stock western wa
ters that already contain an abund-
ance of trout or salmon. Such prac-
tice is little short Of criminal, and
in all such cases where there Is rea-
son to fear that valuable trout wa
tiers may he ruined the bureau takes
the ~precaution to defer to the judg-
ment of the state fishery officers.
"One of the most unfortunate in
stances of the destruction of one spe-
cies by another is that of. the gray
ling, a superb food and game fish
of which only three colonies had
survived some cosmic ca%taclysm and
had become esta blished in regions as
aS AtaShh Ntofltdld, u
Michigan. In the l~ast-naned state
trout were recklessly planted In some

grayling, with the result that the

terminated therein. 1t is only in

Another untoward aspect of the
acclimating of native fishes Is the an
noyance or confusion which may com
to future students OF geographical dis
tribution and variation. A phase of
this work is seen in the long-continued
and wholesale planting of shad 1om
the Potomac. Susquehanna. and Della
ware rivers In practically every other
stream on the Atlantic coast. with the
result that whatever local varieties
or races Of shad may once have ex-
isted are now no longer bile"

PLANT FISH: BUT BEWARE THE WEEDS!

Washington. u. c., July 25.-"Now
that the war Is over and the high
cost of living is not, the federal gov
eminent, as well as the states. IS
turning to fish cultivation AS a food
source says a bulletin from the Ma
tional Geographical society.
BE careful where you plant fish,"
Is, IN effect, a warning sounded by
Hugh NJ. Smith. an eminent authority,
who points out hat the fish OF the
deep are predatory a. the birds oa
the air, and just as Jealous of their
normal habitats.
There are tares and weeds among
fish. he indicates. which make their
promiscuous sowing a danger to the
usual fish crop
The bulletin quotes from a COM
munication to the society by MIR.
Smith, as follows:
THE seemingly benign and bene-
hcent work of tr~ansplanting water
animals is not wholly free from pos
sibly harmful results. analogous to
those that have attended the trans
planting of land animals. of which the
rabbit in Australia. the mongoose in
Jamaica. and the English sparrow
and Norway rat in America are we'll
known examples.
Even when such transplanting Is
done advisedly II with c~trcunispec-
ton, there is a possibility of untoward
results h n will offset any benefits
that MAJ accrue. Injuries may arise
from a general disturbance of the
balance of nature by the introduce
tion Of new factors into given waters.
or from the supp1anting of one kind
of animal by another less desirable.
The ignorance or indiscretion of pri-
waite persons who undertake to in
troduce now creatures into waters
in which they are interested may pro
duce most disastrous effects, while in
a few instances carelessness or a
mere accident has had a ~far-reaching
effect.
Great care has been exercised by
the Federal Fishery bureau in max
ing plants of non-indigenous fishes
and injurious results chargeable to II
have been extremely rare: but eternal
vigilance is necessary. and many ap-
plicants for Ash become disgruntled
because they are not permitted ia
