and good keeping qualities. There was
big popular demand for them, and
huge quantities were caught for three
years. Then the supply failed as sud
denly as it had appeared. In the
spring of 1882 the boats failed to
catch a single tilefish. A few days
later incoming boats reported having
passed through miles of dead or dying
tilefsh. They covered an area of 5000
square miles, and were estimated to
number 1000, 100000.
From 1889 to 1915 no trace of tile
fish was found in any waters Of the
world, adds our correspondent. Scien-
tiiic men were convinced that the fish
had been suddenly and mysteriously
eXtermnated. Then, early in 1918, a
government boat. In almost the identi-
cal spot off the Nantucket banks as
that in which tilefSh were first taken,
agnin caught some Of the same species.

also discovered along the New Jersey
coast. Since then the tilefish has been
caught without Interruption. but the

New Meaning OF "lHtrious,"


The latest verbal importation from
France that l have had occasion to re-
mark Is no more than the comforting
Of new meaning upon an old word.
In English ito Intrigue" has always
meant to plot surreptiti0usly. whereas
In French 1t was always used (by ex-
tension) to Indicate the state Of pug
zled doubt In which we may End our
selves when we have reason TO suspect
q surreptlt!ous plot: and this sec
ondary French meaning 10 now pass
ing over into English, SO that we may
read In the light stories that run
through our magazines, she intrigued
me-" meaning that she puzzled me, and
not meaning that she involved me In
IN intrigue. This Gall!c secondary
meaning will probably force itself into
our yielding Anglo-Saxon and we shall
have hereafter the privilege o: en-
1loying 'to intrigue" In either Of two
different intents. I doubt II this will
be to the profit Of the language; but
protest is idle, since the fate of nov.
city always depends upon It's ultimate
sefulness.-Brander Matthews In

BEAVERS Do MUCH MISCHIEF
Property Owners in the Adirondack,
Are Uneasy Over the Situation
They Have Created.

Because the limited inte'l' genCH
Of the beaver goes 10 further than IFS
own immediate purposes, OWn"rS Cf
property in the Aii?OndackS are w.t.
ing that the beaver was less !nlI.;-
triouS and seriously wondering what
is to be done TO stop the increasing
number of these willing workers from
decreasing the value and beauty Of
this famous region. The forest rangers
of the conservation comm Ss!On, says
writer in the Albany Journal, last
summer estimated the undesirable re-
suits that had followed the building Of
nearly 600 beaver dams, and found
that an area of about 1851 acres had
been flooded. and something like $751;
600 worth Of good merchantable stand
ing timber was being destroyed. Con-
sidering that the number Of beavers
now estimated at about $4,000 Is be-
lieved to be increasing about 5000
year. the damage bids fair to become
a serious problem. Not only do they de-
stroy valuable timber. but they are
steadily changing the character of the
Adirondack scenery along the water
courses and altering the shore line Of
the lakes: yet the region without am
beavers at all would not be the Adj
rondacks as nature made 1t and as
those who now go there to enjoy its
beauty like to find 1t. Time was when
the beavers seemed likely to vanish,
and the state took them under its pro-
lection; now the danger seems to be
that they are so well protected that
they will eventually come back" In
numbers out Of proportion to the
normal population of beavers when
the Adirondacks were subject to the
conditions of life In a wild country.
