GOO FISH SPECIES

Semi-TropicaI Seas. :.

How many fishermen realize that
there are found in the Atlantic ocean
offshore between Miami and Key
West nearly 600 varieties of fish-an
amazing total. which constitutes one
fifth of the entire fauna of the Amer
lean continent north of Panama.
asks John Oliver La Gorce, in
communication to the National Geo
graphic Society, which is quoted, in
part. in the following bulletin:
what the rolling prairie of the far
west was TO the buffalo in the olden
days. when it roamed in countless
thousands to and fro in search of
new pastures and salt, the ever-roll-
ing gulf stream-that mighty. warm
river which parallels the east coast
of FIorida-is to the fish legions of
our semi-tropical seas.
ITO even sketch the possibilities OF
sport fishing along the far-f1ung coral
reef off Miami. the southernmost city
of the Florida mainland and the
fourth in size within the borders OF
the state. one must discount the old
question, Are all fishermen lnten-

MANY LARGE ESTATES
ARE OWNED IN GEORGIA
Federal Tax Upon Which Amounts to
No Mean Sum. Estates of Sew
eral Million Dollars.

SAVANNAH, Ga.-Many large es-
tates are owned in Georgia, so A. G..
Pratt, internal revenue agent, has
found in the course of his investiga-
lions of the state and into other
states where the owners are GeOr-
gians.
Mr.. Pratt's speciality is checking
up the returns made for federal tax
alton on estates.
Estates of $4,000 value and under
are not taxable, and on estates of val
ue exceeding $4,000 that amount is
allowed aS an exemption. The tax IS
1 per cent. on the second $4,000, z
per cent. on the next 100000 and
so on an upward scale. The amount
of taxes paid on estates Of million
dollars or more is considerable. There
are several estates in Georgia valued
at from $3,000,000 to $4,OOO,O0O,
Mr.. Pratt stated. His work begins
after the returns have been made to
the internal revenue collector in At
lanta. He verifies the returns, and
makes an effort to ascertain If there
are any estates upon which no re-
turns have been made.

JAPAN PROBLEM BE TAKEN UP AT
 AT LATER DATE
Likely This Subject Will Be Left to the League of Nations for Final
 Settlement.

PARIS, April 23.-The Council of Four has decided to terminate Ger manys rights in China in the peace treaty which the German delegates will be asked to sign, leaving the settlement rights of China and Ja- pan to German concessions for 6 problem to be taken up later.
 This makes it uncertain whether the treaty will really fix the status of the German concession rights. or whether the subject will be left to the League of Nations, subject to the approval of China and Japan whose delegates believe that their respective Governments will ratify the action. So far as can be learned it is understood that the Council of Four by deciding to terminate the rights" of Germany in the Orient leaves the question open for future action either way.
