Scientists Plan to Investigate Dwindling Marine Crop by Census. By the Associated Press. BUFFALO, N. Y., June 25.—The Fed- eral Government steamer Shearwater, remodeled to carry a laboratory and six sclentists, has begun a series of Bummer crulses to find out how to re- store the dwindling fish to Lake Erie. ‘The scientific observers determine the character of the boftom, temperatures, carrents, chemistry of water, distribu-| tion of fish food, breeding grounds ahd the wanderings of young fish. " The first objective is the causes for the decline in fish, and then to find out <how to aid in producing an increase. Study Is Planned. Some of the methods suggested are finding and protecting the spawning ds, increasing the numb:r of hatcheries reducing the number of undersized fish destroyed in nets, learn- ing the seasons when the most damags is- done to young fish and what areas may be most worthy of protection. .The survey started last Summer in the eastern section of the lake and this Summer will be extended to cover the entire lake. Co-operating in the sur- vey are New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, the Federal Government and Ontario. Two-Week Cruises. The Shearwater will make two-week cruises, while the laboratory work goes * forward both aboard ship and at six i tomorrow . . . Wednesday . . .. i shore stations.

AMUSEMENTS & National Players—“Rain.” ‘When Somerset Maugham set down the vicarious adventures of Miss Sadie Thompson on tbe rain-drenched island of Tutuila, he did not visualize his work | in a dramatic setting. It is sajd that) he doubted if it could be made into a successful play, but John Colton and Clemence Randolph proved him wrong. substantiated by this time by a fat bol- stering up of Mr. Maugham's bank account. How well known this drama “Rain” has become, was shown last night with its presentation by the National Theater Players. Not a high point of suspense, not a line of scorching invective, was met by anything but respectful antici- patory silence in the audience. Each Jjuicy bit of dialogue and action was greeted as an old friend by most of the spectators. It is not in vain that “Rain” has found its way to nearly every corner of this land, touring com- pandes have carted it around grandly; stock companies have played it time and again; the motion picture version has reached millions. In its presentation by the National Players, “Rain” holds up well.

The interplay of mood and strong emotion between the Rev. Davidson and Sadie Thompson was well developed. If the transitions from Act II to Act IIT, and between the sec- tions of Act III, were rather sudden and unbelievable ones, the fault must be pinned upon the playwrights not upon last night’s players or their director. ey did the drama as people expect it to be done, with a brassy, ironic care- lessness for the niceties either of life or at the last curtain for Australla and | quietn the stage. The burden of effort and the bur- den of honor fell upon Edith King and Willlam- E. Blake for their portrayals respectively of the Thompson and Davidson roles. Mr. Blake, it was un- derstood, was brought to town especial- ly for this part, one that he has played successfully in saveral other companies. His unctuous delivery of lines, the carp- ing expression of his ‘whole delusion (for it was not conscious hypocrisy, after all) was a bitter note of sarcasm throughout, most intelligently conveyed.
