coast. Originally transplanted from the Navesink and Shrewsbury rivers in New Jersey. this fish was found to thrive exceedingly we'll in the waters tributary to San Francisco bay, in the lower parts of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers, and in other rivers of the western slope. Today the striped bass is an important com mercial product in the western states. and California some time since cheered itself vigorously over a catch of 5000 pounds-1,500 fish-by a single boat in q single day.
 The catfish has also been introduced to the rivers of the west coast with highly satisfactory results.
 From West to East.
 Fish swapping has by no means moved in single direction, for east ern waters have received valuable contributions from the west. An inn portant species of salmon from the Columbia river region Is now estab- lshed in Maine waters, while the Chinook salmon has been successfully acclimatized in the land-locked wa ters of Nevada.
 The rainbow trout is now as much at home in the eastern states as in its original haunts on the western slope of the Rockies. Until the trans planting took place this fish was un- known outside of it's native area. To- day 1t is an important fish in south ern Michigan, Wisconsin and Minne- sota, and in New York, New England and elsewhere. In many regions it Is primarily game fish, but 1t has also gained considerable commercial im- portance, notably in the state of New York. sti

ney involved in fish transplanting un- der the bureau of fisheries was that which fell to the lot of the rainbow trout in a process of introduction to the far-away heights of the Andes. At the request of the Argentine gov ernment the eggs for this transplant ing operation were sent on Journey which involved transportation by rail to New York. by ship to Liverpool, by another ship to Buenos Aires, by rail almost across the South American s continent and by mule to their des- tination near the summit of the Andes. The eggs were transplanted into lake not far from the Chilean boundary. and the undertaking has proved an entire success. in spite of the length of the journey. The work was conducted at the expense of the Argentine government.
 As sort of exchange for Colo rado's contribution of the rainbow trout the eastern waters have paid nejghborly tribute to the streams of Colorado by sending them that fa- v~rite fish of the sportsman. the book trout This gift is of distinct and tangible value to the Rocky mountain regions, for the reason that Lit affords an added attraction for tourist travel.
 The transplanting of fish has many points in common with the introduce tion and standardization of other ami nal life and even with the trans planting of vegetable growths into new territory, in that all such intro- ductioas bring new resources into a community or section. Fish acclima- tization Is especially beneficial, for the rease1 thatsin this work the gain IS very great in proportion to the

 New Fields to Explore.
 Transcontinental travel seems to have given the shad some new mo- tions as to the delights of touring. As long as these fish were confined to the home grounds they had a ten dency to stay put, and were seeming ly content with the environment to which they were accustomed. It was an old dictum of fish culture that fish planted in river would return to that particular stream to spawn and raise their families. This instinct re- suited in keeping the eastern shad fairly well localized. On the Pacific slope, however, the rule does not hold good. In the early stages of shad propagation in the west it was found that the warm waters of the Japan current-the Gulf stream of that part of the world-tempted the imported fish far afield. Under the influence of the higher temperature of this stream, the shad soon broke the bounds of the area in which they were supposed to belong. Study of this newly developed migratory in stinct caused the fish experts to pre- dict that the Potomac shad would eventually reach the shores of Asia, and establish themselves in the great rivers of that remote continent.
 In contributing shad to the Pacific slope. the waters of the Potomac lost nothing, for the supply of this fine fish in the native waters suffered no decrease. On the other hand. the contribution proves to have been in the nature of casting bread upon the waters, for in exchange the Potomac has received supply of black bass from northern waters, through the activities of the bureau of fisheries. investigation showed the scientists that the lack of bass in the Potomac was unnecessary. Successful trans planting followed. and as a result the Potomac has added an important bass industry to its better known shad trade.

s5G< [<o< c[L5( @<<12 California has adopted the shad as her own and has made this fish a na- tive son in the truest sense of the phrase. From the San Francisco standpoint, California shad is finer. bigger and better than any shad in the world.
 Geographically the shad extends from the waters around Los Angeles to points as far north as Alaska. The Sacramento, Klamath and Columbia rivers have shown themselves admir- ably suited to the propagation of this fish. Even the scientists concede that the size of the Pacific shad is no mere Idle claim of q boastful west, but is supported by the facts. They say that it is doubtless true that shad make larger growth in their new home than on the Atlantic seaboard. It has been stated in an official re- port that the average weight of shad in the California market has been about four pounds. that many speci- mems range as high as six or seven pounds apiece, and that they some times go as high as 10 or 12 pounds.
 Old and New Methods.
 The first introduction of shad to the western waters was done in a crude way by transporting young fish in tin cans. To keep the fish alive on the long journey it was nec- essary to maintain an even temper ature for the water in the cans and to prevent this temperature from going above so degrees. This involved frequent changes of water en route, and as the water available was not always pure some of the fish died during the journey. Improved meth ods of transportation came with the growth of transplanting activity, and the real development of the western shad industry was accomplished through the shipment of eggs. Egg transportation is much less comp1i- cated than the carrying of the fish themselves. The chief essential is that the eggs be kept at a low tenn perature, for the purpose of arresting development during the time occupied in travel. Modern methods of refrig- eration make this easily done.

The bureau of fisheries now has several cars for the encourag cement of fish swapping These cars are equipped with every device science has perfected for in- suring the comfort. safety and pro- tection of the fish or eggs in transit The arrangements include tanks, equipment for maintaining desired temperature and the proper aeration of the watera Tn short, these cars make it possible for the fish to travel In all the luxury given a railroad

 Fish swapping has become as much of an industry with Uncle Sam as the swapping of horses used to be with the American farmer.
 As a result of this government ac- tivity, the toothsome shad of the Chesapeake and the Potomao Is today as common on the Pacific coast as in the waters of the Atlantic seaboard. In the same way the rainbow trout of the Rocky mountains has become thoroughly at home over a wide sec tion of the United States.
 Fish swapping Is merely another name for transplanting and acclima- tizing. By this process the govern ment has been able to make millions of fish grow in water in which none of their kind grew before. The work has been planned and carried out by the scientists of the bureau of fish cries, and they have done the job so well as to make the fish like it, and thrive as well in their new environ ment as in their native haunts.
 The natural thought of the layman in pursuing the romance of fish accli- matization Is that the work affords one instance, at least in which sci ence has triumphed over nature. The scientists, however, take their suc- cess with becoming modesty. and in sist that they merely give a helping hand and that nature does the rest.
 The work of tlse helping hand, as extended by the United States bureau of fisheries, is made up of determin- ing conditions of climate, temperature and the character of water, and adapting their fish swapping to the conditions shown to exist. It has been found that fish which will thrive In one place will thrive in am other affording similar environment.
 By transplanting. the government has given to various parts of the country new and important indus- tries, and has made valuable contri- buttons to available food supplies.
 Shad Introduced to West.
 The introduction of shad to the Pacific slope is one of the most strik ing examples of the success of this work as well as one of the most not able achievements of the bureau of fisheries Until comparatively recent times the shad was unknown on the west coast except as an easterneprod- uct of delicious flavor and high cost of transportation. Westerners visit ing Washington or Baltimore viewed with envy the wealth of the Chesa- peake and the Potomac in their springtime abundance of this epicu- rean delight. Today the shad is as well-known in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland and Seattle as in the a;tfaS alareE fhe A-flMntix ssabnnra

LIrHoGRAPHY FOR THE ARTIST

LITHOGRAPHY FOR THE ARTIST From "The Field of Art" in Scrib-
 ners.
 Artistic lithography. or, better said, lithography for the artist. has this country. Ten years ago one was almost limited to the considera- tfon of past performances. Then. the use of the process by American art ists was sporadic and rare. Lithog- raphy played the role of stepchild beside etching. It emitted but a feeble peep in the chorus of our art. Today. to continue the use of the metaphor, it is heard in a voice rich, varied, sometimes subtle, not always discriminating. and fairly Soluminous.
 We are getting away from the idea that because for many years lithog- raphy has been preponderatingly used for commercial ends, it Is some thing beneath the artists notice. They did not think so in the early days of the art, in France. In fact. the very many-sidedness and sup pleness of this process which made I. 50 useful an aid to commerce, makes it equally and pre-eminently a means by which the artist can express his individuality and mood. The process is autographic. reproduce ing the drawing as the artist makes it. You might well say, it is the drawing itself.

An adSed factor is the slight cost, in labor and expense, in- volyed in the utilization of the crops when ready for harvesting.
