SUTHERLAND AND THE
 FISHERIES

Under that plan no person could fish without permit from the Department of Commerce. Nor could the holder fish outside of his district. The permits were is- sued, not to individuals, but to canneries, so that the high priests ot the fisheries were the cannerv uperintendents.
 Sutherland's plan was this wherever fishing was allowed, ev- cry person would have the right to

for loading which do not come up to
the governments specifications will
be rejected by the inspectors, and
the specifications cover the degree
Of maturity.
A resolution was passed defining
the conditions under which licenses
will be issued to shippers, and pro-
vides that q 5 per cent commission
be paid dealers with home offices in
that section Of the Valley south OF
San Benito, and that dealers in the
San Benito territory will receive
25 cents per sack. All dealers are to
be allowed 8 cents per sack loading
charge and brokerage. Dealers in
the southern territory will be al
lowed 25 cents per sack on potatoes
for mixed cars.
Relative to the cost Of government
inspection the association provided
that one-third be borne by the ship

houses Of rich and poor. Is small cage
of bamboo fiberS in which are housed
singing cricketS. The male only has
the voice" which can hardly be called
a singing voice because the sounds emit
ted are much more metallic than those
which ordinarily proceed from the
throat. of a bird. The weSterner who
hears these sounds for the first time
starts up under the impression that he
is hearing an electric call bell. In or
der TO execute his song. the cricket goes
through very amusing performance.
He raises himself on his front feet
graSpS with the others kind of plat
form" arranged in the cage for his con-
venience, expands his wing-Shells and
rubs them against each other with great
rapidity The rhythm of the movement
varies with individuals and this explains
how the sound produced offers certain
variety in meter as well as in pitch.
The Japanese have reared this insect
from time immemorial. For long time
the expectation of these crickets was
prohibited under severe penalties, orig
inally because a religious superstition
against 1t existed among the peaSantry

was tlevotee Of natural history and il
Is said that he sometimes amused him
self by taking the key from the cricket
and evolving musical exercises from its
peculialtties. These little insects pass
the entire day in song If care Is taken
to maintain their food supply, which
consists of lettuce leaves. with those of

curious creature.
