14 PROPAGATING FISH Wonderful Work of the United States Fish Commission. PRACTICAL AND PROGRESSIVE A Valuable Volume Describing It About to Be Issued. THE C JLTURE OF SHAD ———_ + -—— That the government of the United States is paternal in its character, always extend- ing its beneficent influences in behalf of those who enjoy its protection, is shown ‘in the variety of its helpful institutions,« but in none is this feature more emphatically illustrated than by the United States com- ion of fish and fisheries. ‘The food of 000 people comprises a vast assort- ment of articles, and of these none is of greater Importance than the fishes that in- habit the oceans which confine the coun- try and their estuaries, the rivers that flow into them and the great lakes that dot the interior. It is the purpose of the United States fish commission to constant- ly renew the supply of the inhabitants of se waters. At present the work of this importan: branch of the government is being presecuted under the direction of Commissioner Jchn J. Brice in an extreme- ly practical manner. Commissioner Bri policy was expressed sententious!y to a Star reporter a year ago, when he said: “I propose to put so may fish in Amer- ican waters that there will be no further necessity for the adoption of laws for their protection. The records of his office will show that he is persistently and successfully carry- ing out this id The number of fry of seme of the more important species dis- tributed and planted during the season of 1s Was ia marked increase over pr-- vious yea a comparison of that ye Sct will show what great Ss have been made by the comm sion, under its present management and system. The figures follow: Shad Cod Salmon (west co: Lake trout Lobster .. In addition to the 16,000,000 quinnat sal- ™ fry planted in west coast waters, 13,- 000,000 exgs were turned over to the Cali- fornia fish commission to be hatched, and 5,0K),008 were brought east and introduced in rivers on the north Atlantic seaboard. Work Prosecuted at Many Places. The work of the commission is prose- cuted at twenty-five stations or hatcheries, located at s able points throughout the country, are hatched on the Potomac, Delaware and Susquehanna rivers, and the fry distributed in suitable streams along the Atlantic coast. Pacific salmon eggs are collected and hatched at Battle Creek, Baird and Ho Vailey, California; Clackamas, | ‘on, and Little Salmon river, Washing- ton, ard the fry deposited on the spawning beds in neighboring streams. Atlantic and landlocked salmon are prop- ated at Craig Brook and Green Lake, Maine.

Hahn and Alexander Jones of the United States fish commission, and on the quinnat salmon by J. P. Bab- ccck of the California state fish commis- sin. A technical description of each important fish is given, together with information about its geographical distribution, habits, movements, growth, food, natural spawn- ing,ete. The operations described are those of the United States fish commission, but are essentially the same usually, employed by state commissions and inalvidual fish culturists. The Toothsome Shad. ‘Tho shad is the most numerous and pop- viar fish in this section of the Union, and 4s the largest, best known and most valu- &ble member of the herring family in the United States. A most interesting chapter, by Stephen G. Worth, is devoted to it in “The Manual of Fish Culture.” In 1896 the shad cateh of the Atlantic seaboard num- dered 13,145,395 fish, weighing 50,S47,967 Pounds, sud worth to the fishermen $1.56, . The value of the shad catch of the Pacific states in 1595 was $5,600, a sum rep- Tesenting 366,000 pounds. ‘The female shad averages a pound more in weight than the male, the general aver- age for both sexes being between three and three-quarters and four pounds. As early as 1545 shad eggs were elally taken and fertilized, and in 1867 more extensive experiments were made on the Connecticut river, and later on the Poto- while during the spring shad eggs | lake trout are! mac, with encouraging results. The atten- tion of many states was thus attracted to the work, and in 1872 it was taken up by the gereral government. Prior to the ex- periments on the Connecticut, certain spe- cies of the salmon family had been prin- cipally dealt with in fish culture, and dif- ferent methods from those in use were nec- essary for shad hatching, owing to the less specific gravity cf shad ova and the much shorter period of time required for the de- velopment ef the fish from the egg. By 1884 shad culture was established on a large scale, and the work conducted on shere. The basins of the Chesapeake bay and the Delaware river were selected by the United States fish commission as the natural seat of operations after every river on the Atlantic coast from Massa- chusetts downward had been examined by experts in order to determine the natural spawning ground of the shad. The Shad Stations. The United States fish commission oper- ates stations at Bryan's Point, twelve miles below Washington, on the Potomac, and at Battery Island at the mouth of the Susquehanna, while the Fish Hawk, fitted up as a floating hatchery, is engaged dur- ing the shad season on the Delaware river. These Stations can receive 16,000,000, 40, 000,000 and 12,000,000 eggs, respectively, but as the average hatching period is eight days and three of the special cars of the commission are hatcheries in themselves capable of taking aboard 2,000,000 to 4,000,- 000 eggs at a time the hatcheries can’ eas- ily be relieved when taxed to tkeir capac- ity. The eggs collected at Bryan’s Point are shipped to Washington and hatched here at the central station. The Potomac river adjacent to Fort Washington is probably more productive of ripe shad than any other area of the same size. In May, 188%, an average of over 5,000,000 eggs per day was coliected for five days. This was be- fore and just after a freshet. Many of the eggs are taken by gill fishermen, which are usually superior to those taken froin seines. At the commencement of the sea- son many of them secure spawning pans, which they keep in their boats, taking and fertilizing the eggs themselves, and when accidentally overlooked by the commission spawn takers sometimes row several miles to brirg in pens of eggs. Collecting the Eggs. Collecting eggs is the work of experienced waternen, who must be prepared to endure all kinds of weather in open boats. The boats are towed out to the fishing grounds by steam launches, where the spawn- takers visit the nets of the market fisher- men, obtaining from them the spawning fish. The price for eggs is always above the market price of the shad, and payment is made at the end of the season on the basis of 28,000 to the liquid quart, the price being $10 to $20 per 1,000,000. On the Potomac 40 to 50 spawn-takers are em- ployed at the station, besides 12 or 15 men who are engaged as hatching attendants, machinists, firemen and cooks. Stripping and Fertilizin In stripping the eggs the shad is lifted with the right hand and caught above the tail with the left. All slime and loose seales are removed by going over the fish two or three times in quick succession with the right hand. The head is carried to the left side urder the arm, and there retained by the arm, the tail being bent slightly upward with the left hand. The fish is eld firmly cver a moist pan, and with a moderate downward pressure of the right hand the eggs will flow freely if mature. To obtain the milt the spawn-takercatch- es the male fish by the back, taking hold of the under side with the right hand. Without relaxing pressure at any point the milt is forced out with the thumb and forefinger. A teaspoonful will fertilize 40,000 to 75,000 eggs. Hatching the Young Fry. In a litte more than twenty minutes after the milt is deposited.on the eggs the latter, which were’ soft before, become hard like shot. This shows they are fer- tilized, andthe milt"is ‘rinsed ‘off and the eegs removed to the hatchery. The Mc- Donald universal hatching jars, in which they are placed, are arranged on tables. Two quarts of water per minute is required for each jar, which is a cylindrical glass vessel of seven quarts’ capacity, provided with inlet and outlet tubes through the metallic top, or screw top, which seals the opening hermetically. If the jar is work- ing properly the movement of the water current establishes a regular boiling mo- tion in the mass of eggs, which brings each in succession to the surface. The deal eg remain on top, forming a distinct layer, and are taken out by the escaping water. The number of shad eggs in a jar is setimated at 7,000 to the running inch. The fry when hatched are about a ihird of an inch long, and swim vigorously by rapid vibration of the tail as soon as it leaves the egg. It is colorless, transparent and gelatinous, and several hundred in a dipper are scarce- ly discernible. In the fall in the Potomac their size is usually three to four inches. Good healthy fry will pass from the jar to the collector tank as. fast as-hatehed, and as many a@s 500,000 to 300,000 are collected in each tank. In transporting tin-lined cans are preterable: zine being destructive. Minute conical teeth make their appear- ance on the lower jaws and in the pharynx about the second or third day after hatch- ing. The jaws at three months are armed with teeth slightly curved. Young shad feed on other minute organ- isms, such as exceedingly small crusta- ceans. At the age of three weeks an abundance of food is found. They have been known at this early age to eat their own kind, and later the young carp and salmon. When cold, raw winds drive the crustaceans into deeper water, the young shad follow them, and in aquaria they take crustacea freely. In salt-water aquaria they may be fed upon chopped oysters and canned herring roe. The Shad Ponds in Washington. For ten years past two or three million shad fry have been reared annually at the fish ponds, Washington, D. C. A 6-acre pond is used, the water supply being taken from the city water works. The depth varies from two to three feet, and through- out the whole extent there is a dense growth of water plants, among which crus- tacean food multiplies—new supplies being brought in from the water pipes. Finger- ling shad are so tender that the numers annually liberated cannot be ascertaine they cannot withstafd the handling cons quent upon counting them, not even under- going transfer in dippers of water, and their scales drop off on being touched; con- sequently at high tide they are liberated into the Potomac through a sluice gate with an outlet pipe about two feet in diam- eter. They require some days to make their escape. By conservative estimate 50 to 60 per cent are held safely until about October. Shad have been transplanted with great success in waters where it was either un- known or found in small quantities. Modes of Hatching Other Fish. All fish are not hatched in the same way as shad. On the Pacific and Atlantic coasts the hatching apparatus for salmon propa- gation consists of a combination of troughs and trays. The troughs in common use are 16 feet long, 12 to 16 inches wide and 6% inches deep. These troughs are divided by vertical ‘partitions of metal or wood into compartments just enough longer than the trays to enable the latter to be raised and tilted slightly. The essential feature of these troughs is that at the lower end of each compartment is a partition extending entirely across almost to the top, while at the upper end is a similar partition ex- tending from the top almost to the bottom. The water is consequently forced to flow under the upper and over the lower part!- tion, and must necessarily ascend through the trays containing the eggs that occupy the compartments. The trays are of wire, 12 inches wide and 24 inches long and deep enough to project abeve the water an inch or two. In each tray two gallons of salmoa exgs. equivalent to about 30,000, are placed. Two troughs, 16 feet long-and 1 foot wide, will carry 500,000 eggs. The Pacific salmon hatches in about thirty-five days. The Atlantic salmon eggs require severai days lo.ger. Theys are liberated in May fol- lowing their hatching. Cod and Mackerel. Cod eggs are taken and fertilized in pretty much the same way as shad and salmon. The hatching apparatus now in use’is the sutomatic tidal box. The boxes are constructed in a series of twelve or less on tables. A table is divided into nine water-tight compartments, twenty-two inches long, twelve inches wide and eleven inches deep. In each compartment is placed THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1897-14 PAG The Chester box is also sometimes used in cod culture, glass jars taking the place of the movable boxes for carrying the eggs. Cod eggs take fifty days to hatch in water of 31 degrees temperature and ten to eleven days in weter at 47 degrees. The fry are planted on the natural spawning grounds as soon as practicable. Mackerel are hatched by the same meth- ods as cod and the period of incubation is about five days. The fry are planted with- in twenty-four hours after hatching, and are liberated below the surface of the water. Flat fish, Spanish mackere} and sea herring are propagated by the use of the tidal box. Lobsters, Bass ai Lake Trout. Lobsters are hatched in the McDonald Jars; 400,000 to 500,000 eggs are placed in each jar. The eggs sometimes hatch in twenty-four hours in June, while those taken in October do not hatch until the following May. The fry are liberated as ‘scon as possible after birth in the vicinity from which the adult lobsters were taken. The artificial propagation of bass has not been a success. The exgs can only be stripped from the female with great diffi- culty, and it has been necessary to kill the male to obtain the milt. Consequently, artificial ponds are main- tained for the propagation of the sunfishes. Lake trout are cultivated in the Clark- Williamson hatching box, which consists of @ trough of any length desired, 18% inches wide inside and one foot deep. The parti- ticns are arranged so that the water runs under oue and over the other. The com- partments are occupied by eleven trays, ten of which are filled with eggs, the top one serving as a cover. Filtered water is kept constantly flowing through them. In water from 40.to 45 degrees Fahrenheit, hatching will begin in from 75 to # days. Lake trout are liberated either before the umbilical sac is exhausted, or after they have become a year old. Whitefish eggs are hatched by means of the McDonald jar. ——— CAPOTE’S ELECTION CONFIRMED. Sketch of New Civil Head of the Cuban Revolutionists. A special to the New York Herald from Havana says: The report of the election of Dr. Domingo Mendez Capote as president of the republic of Cuba has been officially ecnfirmed. The new president is young. He was at one time governor of Matanzas. Since he joined the rebel movement he has done much to strengthen and put into good shape the laws cf the insurgent govern- ment. The Cuban army is not counting upon any action that the United States govern- ment may take toward ending the war. The rebels are prepared to fight it out on thelr own account. They would welcome intervention if it tended toward self rule, but they are not taking chances. Reports received during the last week snow the insurgents’ strength. In Pinar del Rio they have a fighting force of three thousand men, well armed, but in need of clothing and supplies. The Cubans have at- tacked and captured the town of Cande- laris. They also attacked the town of Valle de Weyler and obtained stores. In Havana province there are at ieast five thousand fighting men under Castillo. They are well supplied with winter cloth- ing and prepared for an aggressive cam- paign. General Rodriguez, who is in command of the western provinces, has been reorgan- izing his forces. He has appointed Col. Aberto Nordassi as brigadier general in Matanzas province. The rebels there have retired to the Lapaste swamps and the San Kira hills, as Matanzas is mostly open country, where they could not fight to ad- vantage. In Santa Clara province thé rebels are strong. Two thousand of them recently passed Cruces, bound westward, convoying a large supply of arms and ammunition, supposed to have been landed near Cien- fuego: E: of the Jucaro-Maron trocha the country is practically at the mercy of the rebels. ————_+ e+ __ ‘E WEDS 4 DOMESTIC.- PRID Heir Presumptive to Austrian Throne Marries Krupp’s Housekeeper. A dispatch from Berlin yesterday says: A sei tion has been caused here and elsewhere by the statement that the Arch- duke Franz Ferdinand,son of the late Arch- duke Karl Ludwig and Princess Annun- ciata, daughter of the late King Ferdi- nande II of Naples, heir presumptive of the throne of Austria~-Hungary, was mar- ried in London last week to a middle-class lady from Kohlscheidt, near Aix-la-Cha- pelle. The Kolnische Volks-Zeitung says the lady's father was formerly a mine manager and that one of her brothers is a cler; man of Essen, and that another brother is a tradesman of Aix-la-Chapelle. The Lokal Anzeiger adds: “She is a for- mer housekeeper of Herr Krupp of Essen, where she met Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The couple have gone to Algiers.” A patch received here from Vienna, S$ that considerable irritation ts dis- Played in court circles there over the re- port of the clandestine marriage of the heir presumptive to the throne, and that denials have been issued as to its accuracy. Franz Ferdinand of Austria was born at Gratz on December 18, 1863, and is the eld- est son of Archduke Ferdinand of Austria, brother of Enm:peror Francis Joseph. He has not enjeyed the most robust health, and his brother, Archduke Otto, has been mentioned as his probable successor as heir presumptive in case of the elder brother's death from consumption, the dis- ease from which he is said to be suffering. Archduke Franz Ferdinand visited the United States incognito during the Cnicago world’s fai Archduke Otto was born April 21, 1865, and has been looked upon as the black sheep of the family. He was married at Dresden on October 2, 1886, to Marie Josephe, Princess of Saxony. They have two sons, ——+e+—___ SOUSA’S MARCHES. His Style Distinctly His Own and Great is Its Success. Rupert Hughes in Godey's Magazine, It is a worthy ambition in a composer to give voice to passionate love ditties, or vague contemplation, or the deep despair of a funeral cortege; it is also a very great thing to Instfll courage and furnish an in- spiration that will send men gladly, proud- ly end gloriously through hardships into battle and death. -This Jast has been the office of the march-tune. “But,” objects the cultured musician, “the march-tune is merely empty melody. High-class music must be structurally interesting and well varied In color.” Just so. And these qual- ities Mr. Sousa’s marches have in high degree, as any cne will find that examines their sources or listens analytically. They have the further merit of distinct individ- vality, and the supreme merit of founding a school. It 1s only the plain truth to say that Mr. Scusa’s marches have founded a school; that he has indeed revolutionized march’ music. His career resembles that of Johann Strauss in many ways. A cer- tain body of old fogies have always pre- sumed to deride the rapturous waltzes of Strauss, though they have won enthusias- tic praise from even the esoteric Brahms, and gained from Wagner such words as these: “One Strauss waltz overshadows in respect to animation, finesse and real mu- sical worth most of the mechanical, bor- rowed, factory-made products of the pres- ent time.” The same words might be ap- plied to Mr. Sousa’s marches with equal justice. There is probably no composer in the world with a popularity equal to that of Mr. Sousa. Though he sold his “Washing- ton Post” march outright for $35, his “Lib- erty Bell” march is said to have brought him $35,000. It is found that his music has been sold to 18,000 bands in the United States alone. It is not surprising that every band in the United States should have yielded to the general demand for the tonic of his marches. Mr. Sousa’s marches have appeared on programs in all parts of the civilized world. At the queen’s jubilee his “Washington Post” march was the mu- sic of the occasion. The reason for this overwhelming appeal to the hearts-of a planet is not far to seek. The music is con- ceived in a spirit of high martial zest. It after him. He has indeed founded a new school of music. He has not, of course, de- stroyed the value of previous march-music nor of future march-music.. Schubert and ‘Wagner remain unrtvaied on their peaks of glory. But Mr. Sousa has built a peak of his own. It is the most hopeless bigotry to deny him his dues. J A Logan’s Barn Burnéd. A fire at Youngstown, Ohio, yesterday de- stroyed the large stock barn of John A. Logan, jr. Eight finely bred horses and many elegant equipages were burned. Loss estimated at $75,000. ——+ o+—___ It matters little what it is that you want swhether @ situation or a servant—a “want” ad.
