Finding that the question would require thorough and careful investigation he determined to give it a minute nd patient research, inquiring into the habits, food, location and lite of the many tribes of tinny inhabitants which are tound in the waters of this continent. To carry out this design the Secretary of the Navy placed at the disposal of the fish commis: & small steamship fitted | with scientific work and used int! of the ocean to ver the forms of life there existing. the temperature of the various currents, the character of the food upon which the fish exist, the location of the different kinds of fish at different seasons and many other mat- ters necessary to a proper knowledge of the sub- ject. The ports of the Atlantic coast were vis- } ited, including Gloucester, the great fish market of the world, and much Information was ob- tained from the fishermen. At other times the vessel would be out on the sea, searching its restless waves and almost unfathomable depths for that knowledge which would eventually have an important bearing on the great results accomplished. After along and careful inves- tigation, extending over aterm of years, had j been made, it was decided that the ARTIFICIAL PROPAGATION of fish would be the most satisfactory solution of the problem, for if successful it would allow the fishermen to ply their calling at all times and render unnecessary the placing of any limi- tations or heavy restrictions on their busine: This work has been pushed with such vigor that over 150,000,000 of fish, including shad and the various inembers of the salmonidae, are row distributed annually. A scarcity of fish suitable to our inland waters was discovered. and in order to supply that want it was decide to import the German carp, as it was thought they would adapt themselves rapidly to. the change. The experiment was successful in every respect, as they increase with wonderful undity and grow twice as rapidly as in their Teutoni¢ home, and they are especially suited to the southern waters of this country. Since their first introduction in 1877 they have been distributed througout the country from Maine to Texas in over 25,000 localities; have thrived in all and have shown a phenominal increase ia many. THE INTERNATIONAL FISHERY EXHIBITIONS. The subject of fish culture has of late had much attention paid to it by the varions gov- ernments, and from ten to fitteen exhibitions have been held in different parts of the world. The first of special importance was in Berlin in 1880, in which a number of countries were in- terested. Congress requested Professor Baird to take charge of the matter for this country, and he collected a considerable amount of Ameri- fishing apparatus and products, and made so creditable an exhibit that the American ex- hibitors succeeded in capturinga majority of the prizes. To him, personally, was awarded the great prize of the exhibition, it being presented by the Emperor William to him as “the ea tates The United took no part in the subsequent internation exhibitions until last year, when it was repre- sented at London. This exhibition was the largest ever held of a single industry, the attendance aggregating over 3,000,000 people. Congress appropriated 250,000, and again re- quested Professor Baird to take charge of the American exhibits. He could not go in person, and the major portion of the responsibility fell on Professor Goode. who did a great deal toward | developing the collection at Berlin, and whose services at London were now invaluable. About thirty governments were represented at Lon- don, including the principal European, Asiatic and American countries. The collection of the United States was especially full and complete, and in the competition American ingenuity was awarded one-fifth of the entire number of prizes. while in the higher grades of awards the er~ jeans were successful in carrying off one-fourth of the gold medals —— WOMEN bDocToRs, The Lively Row Their Admission to the Medical Association Created. WOMEN NOW KEGARDED AS REGULAR MEMBEI OF THE PROFE . CREASING—A GOOD FIELD IN FOREIU. TRIFS. One of the noticeable features about tire meet- i | ings of the American Medical association at the | Congregational eburch during the recent session in this city were the ladies who were seated with the delegates. They, however, were not noticeable on account of their numbers, for in such a solid array of black coats and bald headsas ssemblage of over 1,200 doctors presented, ninine ribbon or bonnet would naturally ar- rest the eye. The spectator who observed these occasional interruptions in the masculine mo- notony of the assemblaze no doubt concluded that they were the wives of delegates who had chosen to sit near their husbands. Now and then, however, a voice With an unmistakable female tone would be heard rising above the deeper voices of the delegates In a viva yoce vote, and then It was evident that the ladies were more than mere spectators. A Svar reporter asked the secretary, Dr. At- kinson, if there were any lady members of the ssociation. here are some twenty or thirty, I should y.”” replied the doctor, in’a matter of fact wa: “{don't know how many delegates were sent this year, but usually we have that many.” “Are they regular practitioners?” asked the reporter. “Why, certainly,” was the reply. “They conld not be members otherwise.

I suppose that there are soyre 400 regular women practitioners in this country now. They do a general practice, but, of course, do not attend men except in a’ case of emergency. A woman doctor who attends men is not considered in good standing. Many women are educated in this country, and then go to foreign countries to practice. ‘There is an especially vood field for them in such countries as India and Japan, where male doctors are not allowed to attend women.” “Do the women attend the medical schools together with the men?” interrupted the lis- tener. “Certainly not,” was the prompt reply. “They have separate schools for women, and very good ones, too. There are schools In ‘more, Phil- adelphia, New York, Chicago and other places ve a high standing, and their gradu- | ates, as a rale, reflect great credit upon their training.” Where the Eailronds Should Go. To the Editor of Tne Eventye Star: Tn considering the various proposed routes for the two railroads and the location of the depots, it should be one of the conditions to remove the B. and O. from the northeast section of the city, which has been greatly damaged by it, as well as to restrict them in passing and locating in the southern section. To turn the B. and O. rall- road down the east side of the Eastern Branch, as proposed in the Morrill plan, would be a rather heavy exaction. Why not turn it down the valley northeast of Mt. Olivet cemetery to and along the Eastern Branch to a point adja- cent to the B.and P. road and enter the city through a separate tunnel parallel and adjacent to the B. and P. road? The Metropolitan Branch could be connected with the main rosd at the point where it turns into the valley, and at thie point, If desirable, a depot could be located for the transfer of western passengers. Both roads being ad} it at the west end of the tunnels. they s! be required to purcbase the entire biocks between K and L streets south, from the tunnels to the east side of Water and along the east and north sides of Water 331.426 persons are actively employed in the fisheries industry, with a capital of $58,000,000, producing an ‘annual return valued af ‘THE UNITED STATES FISH COMMISSION was organized in the year 1871 for the purposes of ingniring into the causes of the reported de- ¢rease in the numbers and varieties of food fishes, both along the sea coast and in our in- Jond waters, and of ascertaining and reporting Fuclh measures as might be thought necessary able to prevent sertous injury to the zrowing out of this Important Professor Spencer F.

OUT-DOOR PASTIMES, The Races at Ivy City Next Week— Events in the Diamond Field—What the Bicyclists Are Doing. : ‘The Turf. The spring meeting of the National Jockey club will begin next Tuesday and last four days. There are now 138 horses stabled at the fair grounds, and the number includes many of the fleetest runners in the country. With pleasant weather the races next week will probably eclipse all former meetings. Everything is in readiness for a big meeting. The track is ip fine condition, the late rains having softenedthe proper depth. The platform in front of the pool \ shed has been widened, and numerons other improvements, tending to the comfort of | visitors, have been made. The club-house has | been handsomely fitted up and is in charge of Mr. Moore, who has the reputation of a good caterer. ° Yesterday the pasture Jast opposite the stables presented a spectacle of remarkable animation and interest.

There are eleyen en- tries, including Duke of Montalban, Compensa- tion, Nettie, Frankie B., Ella Warfield, Antrim, and Referee. The Duke will certainly be the favorite If he keeps In good shape. Mr. Hall, whose years of experience in racing render him authority in such matters, said yesterday that the track would be faster at this meeting than ever before.

There will be a grand prize for the 25- mile race—a .silver service set. valued at #750. itors. . The league increase in membership for the week ending May 2d was 227. The flne weather and*the excellent condition of the roads are calling out cyclers in swarms. A delegation of the Washington Cycle club met Messrs. Woodside and Morgan at Bright- wood on Wednesday and escorted them into town. ‘The spring races of the Capital Bicycle club take place on the 17th of May, instead of the 16th, as stated. Preparations for the races are being perfected, and it is expected that they will eclipse any event of a similar character | given by the Capital boys. Reserved seats will be for sale on Monday. i The polo match between Rex Smith and Rob- ertson and the team from Smithville, N. J., will be novel and entertaining. Two heats will be plaved before and two after the races. The five mile race between Hanna, Borden and Stuart will be an event of unusual interest. Hanna is looked upon as the favorite, but the knowing onesthink that his victory over Bor- den on Thursday is no criterion. Hanna is delighted with his new thirty-five Pound racer, recently received from the Colam- ia tactory. He attributes his success on Thurs— day to the excellence of his machine.

The Prominent Actors in the Jeannette Investigation—Mrs. Del.ong’s Loyalty to her Husband’s Memory—The Sur- Vivors of the Il-Starred Expedition— A Mysterious “Old Salt,” Ac. Visitors at the Capitol evince the greatest interest in the Jeannette investigation which is going on in the House naval affairs committee room. Those taking part in the investigation form an interesting group, of which Mrs. De Long, the widow of the commander of the Ill- fated expedition, 1s the most rémarkable figure. She occupies a seat just behind her counsel and watches the proceedings with an attention and keenness quite wonderful. She dresses in deep mourning, and has an expression of child- like earnestness on her face that engages the attention and sym} “of all visitors. She has | a plump, pretty and large expressive eyes, which change in @ montent from a pensive or somewhat patheti¢ ex; ‘lon to one of search- ing eagerness that indicates a mind constantly ou the alert. ‘Thp firsttimpression on seeing her there, with but one Jady companion, before acritical and unsympathetic court of inquiry, is that it is cruel that shephould be present tosee the new grave of her brave husband torn open and his acts criticted his suffering spoken | of lightly or indifferently. But this feeling gives place to one of asténishment and admira- tion when at a trying mqment, when something is brought out bythe testimony which seems to reflect upon her hasbang, her wonderful ENERG¥ AND CLEVERNESS is discovered. Wken soine witness had passed acriticism upon the management of the expe- dition, which her counsel is at a loss to answer, and her husband's reputation as an officer seems under a cloud of doubt, she always proves more than equal to the occasion, and astonishes every one by the promptness with which she meets and refutes the accusations. She has her husband's diary and records on the table before her, together with the records of the nayal court martial, and seems to know them all by heart, 30 that in a moment she can find something &p- plying to the point in question, no matter what itis, turning everything to her husband’s ad- vantage. The lawyers on both sides and the committee have to defer to her cleverness and superior knowledge of thecase. Yet with all | she is so young, and seems as if she would be | almost childishly modest but for her eagerness and devotion. AN “OLD sat.” A constant attendant upon the court Is an old. weather-beaten captain, who always occupies a place at the end of the table, never speaking to anyone, but watching the proceedings with great apparent interest. He is next after Mrs. De Long to attract the notice of visitors, and everyone is sure to ask who he {s, and equally sure not to find out. His breadth of beam and full weather-beaten face proclaim him an old “salt,” and he 1s spoken of as an old whaler who has sailed the icy seas, but no one seems to know Just who he is. THE SURVIVORS. Melville and Danenhower, Bartlett, Ninder- man, Wilson and Manson form the group of Jeannette survivors, and are looked upon with interest, One of them is generally on the stand being subjected to examination and cross-e: amination, while he tells the sad story of sutfe: ing, giving his views on the subject. THE COMMITTEEMEN AND THE’ COUNSEL. The only members of the committee present generally are the chairman, Mr. Buchanan, and Mr. McAdoo. Dr. Collins, the prosecutor, who seeks to retrieve a wrong he conceives to have been done his brother, the scientist, who per- ished along with Lieut. De Long and the rest, generally sits by his counsel or stands near the mantel, watching the proceedings through his eye-glasses. A somewhat cortical turn is given to the scene by the two counsel—Judge Curtis, for the prose- cution, and Judge Arnoux, for the defense—who are eternaliy quarreling and frowning at each other. They sit close together, and are gener- ally engaged in casting severe looks at each other and making personal remarks reflecting equally upon the general intelligence of each. MRS. DELONG’S MEANS. : The question of what may be Mrs. Del.ong’s means to enableher to stand the expense of defending her husband is often raised by curious folks. It is said that James Gordon Bennett, the projector of the expedition by which Lieut. DeLong lost his lite, has pre- sented her wi ‘50,000. Besides this she Is said to have realized considerable from the sale of the bodk onDeLong’s explorations, of which she has’ published several editions. The wife of Seamgn Ninderman is one of the agents for the bgok. There has been a bill Introduced in the ‘House granting her a pen- sion, but it has not yet béen acted upon. —_4- 0s —____ Government Official Attend: cal Conventions. ‘To the Egitor of Tae EvENING Stan: WASHINGTON, May 7th, 1884.

The Course of Improvement im the Northwest. 4 TALK WITH INSPECTOR ENTWISLE—ROWS OF HOUSES NOW IN COURSE OF ERECTION—SMALL TSVESTMENTS THE FEATURE OF THE MARKET. Building Inspector Entwisle, in speaking to a Star reporter of the building boom in the northwest section of the city, sald: “Just look back only afew years when Stewart's Castle Was built; there was nothing but Hopkins’ brick yard and a few scattering dwellings for his la- borers in that locality. Land could then be bought for eight to ten cents per foot, and sel- dom were there any eales at that. This was about 1870. Stewart's magnificent dwelling was in anopen commons among brick yards. Less than five years after the British minister secured ata cheap rate thesiteon which an- other fine mansion was erected at agreat outlay. The opening up of Connecticut avenue and gen- eral improvement of streets in that direction gave the start to the improvement boom in that di- rection, and It has been steadily going on since. A wordy warfare sprang up between John Hop- kins and the pioneers about the brick yard nuisance, but was of short duration. The brick nuisance went under; Hopkins was handsomely compensated for his ground, and first class buildings commenced to spring up in all direc- tions. Senator Blaine’s fine mansion followed. ‘These improvements had the effect of raising the value of ground from eight cents per foot to $2 and $3 per foot, which seems to be the fixed value thereabouts. Ground is scarce at that, and these prices will probably not decrease.” “In other sections of the city,” he continued, “the prosperity has been pretty general so fat as improvements go. The permits for ba@iiding show the class of dwellings to be less expen- sive than those in the northwest section, but they have been very numerous and fill up a vacuum much needed—a cheaper class of dwell. ing for the medium class and laboring people.” A FINE ROW OF HOUSES. Mr. C. C. Martin, the contractor, has nearly completed a row of five 3-etory and basement houses, fronting about 100 feet on 19th street by a depth of 50 feet on R street northwest, all having large bay windows extending the entire heighth, and each containing 12 rooms. The fronts are of pressed brick; ornamented with moulded brick belt courses, panels, and stone lintels and sills. The builaings are topped out with brick cornices and slate deck roots. The interior finish will be of hard wood of handsome design and hard wood mantels throughout, in- laid with fancy glazed tiles and large plate glass mirrors, and ornamental grates and tile hearths. The plumbing throughout is to be first-class. The cost cf this improvement without the ground is about $45,000. Mr. J. Germuiller is the architect. A BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT. Mr. Patrick H. Sheehy has commenced the erection of a store and dwelling-house on the west side of 7th street road, north of Boundary street. It will be three stories high with a cellar, and will be 20 test front, ranning back through to Boundary street 100 feet with a frontnge on that street of 38 feet 6 inches. The 7th street front will be of pressed brick, with blue stone and galvanized iron trimmings. The Interior will be finished in white pine and painted imitation of hard wood. The buildin, contain astoreroom 19 teet wide by 98 feel deep; fronts on both streets. The second story will have four large rooms, closets and bath. The third story will have two rooms and large closets. The cost of this structure will be about 95,000. Mr. J. Germuiller is the architect, and Mr. John Batters is the builder. BUILDING NOTES. Mr. James G. Payne is building four three- story and basement houses on the southwest cor- ner of 13th and Corcoran streets northwest. They will have pressed brick fronts laid in black mortar and stone and moulded brick trimmings, with bay windows the entire height. These houses are 18 feet front by 35 feet deep, each containing 11 rooms. The interior finish will be of modern style, finished in the natural grain of the wood. The gost of this improvement will be about $15,000. Mr. J. Germuiller is the architect and Mr. C. C. Martin the bulider. Two two-story houses are belng erected by Mr. E. Thompson on 12th street, between Maryland avenue and G street northeast, at a cost of $7,500. Mrs. Lipscomb is building a two-story dwel- ling, on 16th street extended, at a cost of 2,500. A three-story residence is being built by Mr. J. H. Benedict, on East Capitol street, between ‘Sd and 4th streets, at a cost of $4,600. A row of five three-story and cellar houses is being erected by Mr. Charles Eliott,on North Capitol street, between Band C streets, at a cost of $32,000. A + Mrs. Jane F. Redfern is building two three- story and cellar houses on Hetreet, between 17th and 18th streets, at a cost of $17,000.

KING G ——————— AMBRINUS REALM. The Beer and the Breweries of Bava- rin—Beer More Ancient that the Pyra- mids—A Land Where Each Person Drinks 260 Quarts a Year—An Inter- esting Report by Consul Horstman, Mr. G. Henry Horstman, U.S. consul at Nu- remberg, has sent to the Secretary of State a report on the subject of Bavarian breweries and their product, in which he gives an interesting account of the history of the origin of beer, and the first brewerles established in Bavaria. The origin of beer, says Mr. Horstman, like that of many of the best institutions of this world, Is lost in the gray mists of antiquity. It is supposed to have been known to the early Egyptians, but no mention 1s made of it in the Bible. A fine mind must haveconcetved that in a combination of hopsand malt, neither of which is palatable, one of the most delicious bever- ages should come to light. Like many other great inventions, it probably was the result of chance. Old German traditions attribute its origin to King Gambrinus, a legendary hero, whose fame was further exalted by his person- ally testing to his full capacity the merits of his own invention. Centuries ago it was considered a “godlike gift,” and the earliest brewerles were founded by monks of various orders, and those pious men knew as well what was good for the palate as for the soul. To the present day some of the very best beer that is brewed is produced in the cool vaults of THE MONASTERIES. Breweries existed in Bavaria previous to the founding of the city of Munich, in 1158, but up to the fifteenth century the principal drinks of the inhabitants were mead, the Tsrolean, Itallan and Bavarian wines. One of the first brewerles was established at Weihenstephan, in 1146, by the Bishop of Freising. In 1325 there wasa court brewery, which was the property of the crown. ° In 1370 there were but three breweries in Munich, and two centuries later there were fifty-three. In the sixteenth century wheat beer was introduced trom Bohemia, which was at first very populace: It soon began to be con- sidered unwholesome, and its manufacture was adrain on the wheat crop. Different measures were taken to restrict the brewing of white beer, which proved failures until the Duke of Bavaria assumed the sole right to brew it, and established the white beer brewery, which exists to the present day. There are 5,482 breweries in Bavaria, or a little more than ONE TO EACH THOUSAND inhabitants. In Munich, where the large es- tablishments have swallowed up the smaller, there are 29 brewerles, the largest using 364,000 ‘bushels of malt and producing seven millon gallons of beer yearly. In Europe there are about 40,000 breweries, producing nearly seventy- five million barrels. Of this quantity Bara should be credited with about nine onal barrels. The of cold fermen’ tion was Introduced in Munich in the 15th century. In Bavaria beer is brewed only from September to the middle of April. Part is consumed in the winter, after short stor- age,and is called winter beer, and the re- mainder, for which more malt and hops are used, is kept in the cellar till the summer months. . ‘THE CONSUMPTION OF BEER. ‘The report contains a table showing the an- Dual average consumption of beer per capita in different countries. Bavaria stands first, with THE AMERICAN CLIMATOLOGICAL The first annual session ofthis association ‘was concluded Monday evening. The afternoon ‘was mainly devoted to the reading and discus- sion ofa paper on Dryness, read by Dr. C. Deni- | son, of Denver. The author touk the side of variability as against equability because, as was shown, the former always goes withdryness and the latter with moisture. In evidence of this the the doctor presented arule for classifying all climates according to the data as given by the signal service. This classification is based upon arating table which represents the average or mean of climate for the whole United States. In this table the rating number, for each degree of temperature, is the combined mean of rela- tive humidity and cloudiness per cent, and abso- lute humidity in tenths ofagrainof vapor to the cubic footef air. A third of the combined records of any place, when compared with the table, gives the relation of each climate to the mean for the United States. Thus all the sig- nal service stations were studied by seasons and graphically illustrated on four maps;the moist places being colored in four shades of blue ac- cording to the degree of moisture, and the dry places in four shades of red. The four charts will be published inone large map forthe use of physicians. imate was divided into four equal divisions, viz., extreme dryness, moderate dryness, moderate moisture and extreme mois- ture. The discovery ofthe rule for rating all climates on a uniform basis, and its ingenious illustration, elicited hearty commendation from the members ofthe association. The method sheds new light on the subject of climatology, brings out the peculiarities of localities in strik- Ing manner, shows the wonderful climatic re- soarces as to moisture and dryness in our own country, and furnishes a basis for definite re- search In regard to the effect of climate In dis- ease. Interesting papers were alao read by Dr. Donaldson, of Baltimore, on ‘City Air and Cit | Life Injurious to Consumptives,” and by Dr. J. S. Cohen on “The use of Compressed and Rari- fied Air as a substitute for change of Climate in the Treatment of Pulmonary Diseases.” ———__—_ree——__——— MONTGOMERY COUNTY ITEMS, ‘Town Commissioners to be Elected— The C. and O.

This is a thriving little town of about two thousand inhabitants on the Union Pacific R. R., 291 milea west of Omaha, and 2,700 feet above the sea level. The alr is dry and pure. Spring is backward here, the trees are only budded and the prairie wears its brown winter coat, except where the fire has passed, leaving the range biack. There wasa slight fallof snow yesterday. The townis growing rapidly; it has several good hotels, two banks, and two news- papers. The United States land office, located here, is now closed owing to the death of the late receiver of public moneys, Mr. John Taffs, who was for many years a member of Congress.
