Wealth from the Sea.

Deep-sca fishing Oft the coast of
Vancouver Island has been a thriving
industry for many years. Most of the
individuals and firms engaged in the
business have devoted their efforts to
catching halibut and other food fishes,
although at least one big whaling
company has paid huge dividends out
lf the profits in catching whales.
From Vice Consul Galpin, at Van
couver, B. c., the Department Of Com
mcrce and Labor learns that a new
corporation will engage on an eXten-
siye scale in the catching Of sharks
and other fish that are worthless for
food purposes. The sharkhshins
branch of the industry is something
new on the Pacific coast. It is pro-
posed to use sharks for oil and tarti-
lzer. The new firm viii build coid.
storage plants at a number Of points
On the west coast of Vancouver Island
and Queen Charlotte Islands and Will

The most approved modern style.
The halibut fisheries of the North
Pacific have been mostly in the hands
Of American fisheries companies oper-
ating out of Seattle and Vancouver;
the new concern IS to be exclusively
a Canadian enterprise. TIC success
that has been attained by these com
panies again calls attention to a ne
elected field which might with profit
be occupied by the Columbia River
fishing concerns. The best halibut
banks in the North Pacific are located
north Of the Columbia river. But a
few miles off the bar there are vast
schools of cod. grOuper founder, sole
and other excellent food fishes, with
halibut obtaiuable in fairly good sup
ply. For these fish there is demand
that is steadily increasing with the
higher prices of meats.
The royal chinook salmon is no
longer so plentiful that it can be re
garded as a cheap food, but the supply
of deep-sea fish is 'neXhaustble.
Establishment of a station at Astoria
of some other point near the mouth of
the river, with a steamer equipped
with modern apparatus might prove
the starting point for a great industry
right at our doorf.

Stane and Their Horns.

stag aud his autlers are almost as
inseparable in the mind Of the sports
man as in the mind OF one to whom
deer stalking is nothing but name.
Yet there are not only hornless NarIe-
ties of the family cervidae, but not a
few members OF the great red deer
group are found to have been QenLGCG
by Nature as well as by accident OF
the browning glories OF their race and
sex. Stays without horns are called
Hummie stays, and they are far from
being the helpless creatures one nj sht
reasonably have imagined them. They
have been known to fight aud to con
quer heayily-antlercd stays Of their
own weight. The APPENDICES known
as antlers are so far from being uni
yersal among the cervine tribes that
naturalists prefer To rely upon other
characteristics in their definitions Of
the several families and groups. But
a hornless stag is so far IN exception
that the system Of Judging the merit
OF the stalkers' spoil by the character
of the head and the number Of tines
or points is certainly the best that
could be devised.
Many years ago an antler with Is
points was dug up from an Irish bog.
Assuming an equal number on the
antler that was missing, the mighty
hart to which the horns belonged
would have been u stag not Of II or -
but of 80 points. Such prizes are not,
however, nowadays likely to fab INTO
the lap of the Scottish deer stalkers,
still less viii they be able to send to
the suffers such magnificent eX-
amples as those which may be found
in many an old German schloss. The
continental deer have always been
more heavily antlered than the Brit
ish, a fact which may partly be ac-
counted for by their having access to
much better feeding than they are
able to procure in Scotland. But, re-
Numbering that heads of IS and 20
points have been killed in this coun-
try, it seems quite reasonable that any
head with tines in excess of the
royal should be distinguished by a
special designation.
There is some difference of opin-
ion as to what constitutes a royal
hart. Strictly speaking the head
should not only possess brow bay
and "tay," and three on the top. but
these last three-the sur royals as
they are calIcd-should form cups in
9,
The more generally accepted prOpO-
sition that royal head j. a head of
IL tines, is, however, al.o the most
convenient in the awarding OF honors
where honOrs are due.
