The Distribution of Fish.

One of the most marvelous and successful achievements of modern enterprise is the introduction of new fish food into the treams and lakes of the various continents. The salmon of the ’■fficitic coast has been successfully introduced into the streams of the east <mast of North America. The delicious sli d of our waters is now to be found in the sea going rivers of the Pacific coast. California salmon were suci essfully introduced in 1077 into the Australian rivers, where that fine fish had never before been seen. The restocking of streams with fish is going on all over the world, and will eventually increase the supply of fish food a thoiis nd-fold. In England, our American trout, black 1 ass, and whitefish have become naturalized, wli le the German c rp, a fast grow.ng and lood-produt ing fiali, is already widely known in the

Un ted States. This country icaaa t.« world in fish cnltuie. Our expens d< not despair of being able in time t< vastly increase the swarms of fish or our sea-coast. It is known that fron time to time there is a short s apply o salt-water fish, but experiments are now being made with the spawn of cal. haddock, sea bass, Spanish mackerel, and other denizens of the ocean, wiiicl will undoubtedly be successful. It i> said that an acre of water can l>e mad to furnish many times the quan it-y o food produced annually by an acre oj land.— Uemorest’s Monthly.
