Oyster and clam cannot be held In flrat-rate condition for more than ilx weeks by such means. It Is worth mentioning In this con nection that tho groat cold-Htnrnprc warehouses for fish In Tarls la under the bourse, or stock exchange, and Is mnnnged by tho Compressed Air Com pany, of the French metropolis.

Along the shore of San KiiukIsco bay In California, and at other point on the Pacific coat, thin tre camp of Chinamen wIi.mm; ocupn- tlon Is the preparation of shrimps and other marine animal, chiefly for Asiat ic markets. Thr shrimps, when re ceived from fishing hunts, are flrat boil ed and then placed In heap on great wooden platform. When thoroughly dry. the Chinamen tread upon them with clean shue or moccasin, ao a to detach the shell from the ,meals.,, Th shells and other refuse are fanned off by throwing the shrimps up Inti the sir, after which the incut are placed lu satks. beaten, and finally passed through band-slficrs to remove all particle of shells and dust. From Mn Francisco the shrimps nre aent mostly to China and Jnpnn. though some are shipped to New York. Phlla dclphlu and Chicago Hquld. mostly for the oriental trude. aie dried by Chinamen on the coasts of California, being washed and spread out on lute-work platforms. On the Columbia river the slant-eyed Celes- tlnl seek a certain fish product that Is prlxid by nobody else, namely, the splnnl marro'V of the sturgeon. As oon us the rti-h are lanueu in me imcklng estal'llshments, a Chinaman, using a hook, pulls out onough of the marrow to give a hI hold; then, selxlng It, draws the rvmnlndor out Imnd-over-hund. In the avernKe-slxcd sturgeon the spinal cord la four or five feet long, and consist of whlto con necting links, rewmbllng sausages, This marrow Is known by the Chinese and tho trade under the name of bone." If not sold to Chinamen In this country, It Is exported to China, where It la much prised for making soups. The fish commission export say that the process of pickling fish with salt Is very ancient. It wn known to the Phoenician on the Ppanlsh const, was employed by the Greeks to some ex tent, and was curried by the Romans to a high degree of perfection espec ially In preserving sword fish from Sicily, tunny from Uyxantlum and Ca dis, mackerel from Hpaln and mullet from Exos. Rrino-saltlng obtained Its greatest development during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries among the Dutch, who preserved In this way the herring caught In the North sea. In the early part of tho present century pickled shad was an Important fishery product. It wo a staple win ter goods for people living near Bhad at reams, who laid In the null by the barrelfuls, and much of tho product was Bhlpped to distant market. Peo ple living 50 mile or ntoro Inland came to the rivers to obtain their winter's supply of fish, bringing their product to barter, such as maple sugar, salt, cl der and whisky. In New England the flesh of the sword fish is most ninniy esieemeu, uiu considerable quantities of It ate pickled In brine. The "sword" Is sawed off and discarded; tha head Is aaved for the oil factory, and the fish Is spilt down the belly to remove tho viscera and backbone, Then the flesh Is cut Into pieces of four or five pounds each, which are placed In butts with a heavy sprinkling of salt. The market for the product exists principally in the Inter ior of New England, and especially In Connecticut, where many persons consider sword fish more palatable than salted mackerel, Crab meat !s put up on a great scale In the Chesapeake bay region, at An nnpolls, Crlsfleld, .Norfolk and other P'lnts.
