The Supervisors of Santa Clara also made a very bad move when they abol- ished the official game warden of the county. During the past two years the Fish Commissioners have stocked sev- eral streams in Santa Clara County with game fishes, but now that the poachers can have full sway, it is presumed that the labor and expense that have been attached to stocking the waters of the county will ?mve a fruitless undertaking and expenditure. he sportsmen of Vacaville who are in- terested in the game of the country and its Protefllan have offered a reward of $25 for any information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of persons vio- laéing the met;av&és. w onoma Coun upervisors = evidently realize that by protecting the game of the county sportstaen will visit the towns within easy distance of the game lands and spend mnnr dollars during the year among the hotels and livery stables.

The killing of Chinese pheasants is for five years and it will be a violation of law to ship game out of the county. This is a move in the right direction. AROUND THE CORRIDORS M. @.

Half a dozen lady members of the San Francisco Golf Club managed to tear themselves away from Christmas shop- ping long enough to play in the handicap competition, 18 holes, for the Winslow medal, on Friday morning. It had been understood that the competition, which{ was set for Tuesday, but was unavoid- ably. postponed in consequehce of the rain, was deferred till some indeflnitely remote future time. Thus was the vigl- lance of the Argus-eyed press eluded, and the ladies were enabled to get their game finished before anybody knew that it was begun.

Also re- member that your camp is near such and such a looking hill, or, better still, that it is in a range with two mountain peaks.

They Sleep Suspended in the Water ‘With Their Eyes Wide Open. “Do fishes sleep, and how?” This question was addressed to Eu- gene G. Blackford, formerly fish com- missioner of New York State. His ae- quaintance with fish began when he was very young, and at the present time he is a recognized authority all over the world. “Certainly they sleep,” was Mr. Blackford's response. . “They sleep suspended in the water, with their eves wide open. I have seen them do it of- ten. I have many fish in tanks with glass fronts and can watch them. Sometimes I see a fish suspended in the water keeping perfectly still for half an hour at a time, and then I conclude that he is asleep. He does not even move a fin at such times, and the mo- tion of the gills is barely perceptible. “Fishes don’t close their eyes be- cause there is no necessity for their doing it. They have no eyelids, be- cause their eyes are not exposed to dust as ours are. They don’t close their eyes in sleep because the light is so modified by the water that it is not hard for them to find a twilight spot. p"But they can close their eyes if they wan to do it, and they do on very par- ticular occasions. I will show Yyou. John, bring me a trout. The man went to a tank, and soon returned, bearing in his hand a fine trout about eight inches in length. This Mr. Blackford held while he took a lead pencil and touched one of its eyes with the point. The trout wrigz- gled about vigorously, and at the same time drew an inside yellow curtain over the eye. “You see, he can close his eyes if he chooses,” said the former fish commis- sioner. “The habits or fish are little known in many respects. We have only begun to study their migrations in a way that promises to lead to any- thing: We have captured some thou- sands of cod and mackerel and put metal tags on their fins. Some of these will be caught in nets far north and south, and as they have. the ad- dress of the United States fisheries commission on them that will give us an idea where the untold millions of fish that race along our shores at cer- tain periods spend other parts of the year.”—Harper's Round Table. —_————— A Prosperous Sheep Raiser. A Virginia woman, who owns a small plece of land, has become interested in the business of raising sheep. She started on a capital of $25, and with this sum she purchased sheep at-$3 a head. She raised as many as she could care for on the land, disposing of the rest as soon as they were old enough. She devoted about an hour each day to their care and paid a boy a small sum a week to keep the sheds in order. She is now able, after five years to clear over $450 annually. i not cured you.
