Professor Charles W. Gilbert, head of versity of Californfa, arrived vesterday from a six-months’ period of scientific re- search in the Hawalian Islands. Dr. Gil- bert safled from San Francisco March i1 last on the United States Fish Com- lon steamship Albatross. Tn his party were J. Snyder, assistant in zoology, W. K. Fisher, '01, graduate student, Professor C Nutting of the Univer- sity of Iowa. ‘Lhe isolated position of the Hawaiian | Islands makes the study of the marine | bfe there of the highgst importance to tne | scientific world. Nearly ail of the speci- mens collected by the investigators are new and undescribed and the work of classifying and reporting on the dtscov- | ertes made will require several years for While the object of tne ex- peaition was pureiy scienuue, Dr. Gibert devoted some time to a study ot the economic sice of the marine life. He sald to-night: *“We discovered no exten- sive fishing banks nor did we find a methoa of improving the fishing indus- try in the island. The specimens collected were mostly new and undescribed. There will probally be several hundred entire- Iy new ones. RESULYS TO BE PUBLISHED. “Our work was not confined to fishes | alone, however, but extended to all kinds of deep tea fauna. All the material will be brought to Stanford for classification. After the animais are grouped they will be sent to all parts of the country io spe- clalists in the different grouns, who will study and report on them, and the results will finally be published as United States Fish Commission reports.” Previous to this expedition no dredging has been done in the isiands except a very few dredges made by the Albatross ten vears ago. Dr. Gilbert's work has been very thorough, his investigations having been made at 400 dredging stations in wa- ter averaging from 1000 to 250) fathoms in depth. Liftle attention was. paid to the shallow water forms. Fisher and Snyder made a careful siudy of the marine birds, partic- ulariy those on Layson Island, the most noted breeding place. “Sea birds have been breeding there for thousands of years,” said Professor®Gilbert. “‘and have formed {mmense deposits of guano, which are now mined. e birds are so thick on this small island that a person can- not walk across it without kicking them aside. Snyder and Fisher spent a week on the island sludylni the habits and making collections of the various birds.” FISH NOT VERY PALATABLE. Professor Gilbert was selected to study the Hawallan fishes by President Jordan, who has charge of the investigation of the eutire Pacific. President Jordan and Professor Jenkins have studied and clas- sified the shallow water fishes, hence Dr. Gilbert's investigation completes the study of the marine life of the island. Professor Snyder is at the Palace. He said: “On our way to the Hawailan Islands we did a little work by taking soundings. We made on our arrival at the Hawallan Islands a thorough survey of the waters. We secured many new speqmens of fish that were caught thousands ‘of feet under the water. What we have just finished completes the work of the Federal Gov- ernment, and it now lies with the Legis- nd | 8 ticipated in a colonial entertainment that proved to be one of the most enjoyable affairs ever given by the order. All the children who took part in the recitations and musical part of the programme were costumed in the quaint style of colonial L S T e 2 lature of the Territory of Hawaii to make any further research desired. We shall make many suggestions to the Federal Government as a result of our investiga- tions, and we shail no doubt recommend the advisability of many varieties of fish being placed in the waters of the Islands. “The fish of the Hawalian waters are strictly tropical and highly colored. They are different to the fish found either on the Pacific Coast or off Mexico or Japan. Fish are not yery plentiful down there and are not very good eating. The most staple fish there is the mullet, and they are nearly all caught from immense arti- ficial la! of prehistoric times.” Newspaper Man’s Good Luck. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 3.—Major J. D.

SHOOTS OWNER OF | EALLERY Marksman Accidentally Discharges Weapon He Is Using. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Aug. 30. By the accidental discharge of a rifie at a Pleasanton shooting gallery last night Robert Miles, the proprietor, was shot through the lungs and seriously, if rot fatally, wounded. The weapon was in the hands of Frank de Frates, a pat- ron of the gallery, when the cartridge was exploded. Mills dropped with a cry of pain when the bullet struck him. The wounded | man was taken to a residence near by, where Dr. Hershiser treated the Injury. The physician found a very severe hem- orrhage, which is the serious condition of the case. De Frates had been shooting at a_tar- get for some time before the accident cccurred. One of the cartridges missed fire and the gunner lowered the rifle, lay- ing it on the counter. Just as he pulled back the hammer to examine the shell, | | Miles walked In front of the muzzle of | the weapon and the cartridge was ex- plodea. De Frates thinks the hammer slipped out of his grip.

Chicago’s “river that catches fire” has developed another unique claim to fame. A number of men find lucrative employ- ment in skimming it. One of these has made a small fortune at the work. In the south branch above the drainage ca- nal men are kept busy the day long scooping the top layer of the stream off with buckets and putting it in barrels, in which form it is sold to packers at the stock yards to be transformed into soap. This is what takes place in “Bubbly Creek,” which is the name applied to that part of the river into which the waste from the’ stock yards empties through sewers. Trank Burnett is the onme who is said to have gained a good bank account by | this work. His “scrapings’” are sold to| the packing companies from whose plants | it came. Above and below this point other men work at the business. Tne: too, operate sieves and pails an® colles the fatty stuff. Burnett has been work- | ing at this for nearly nine years.
