There are numerous streams in Maine where salmon have not been seen for years which are now teeming with them. In many tributary streams of lakes used as fish fields, where salmon have appeared in larjje numbers weighing from 8 to 12 lounds, there has been always more or less destruction of this game fish by poachers, nud it is only by great effort that the fish wardens prevent these poachers from pursuing their illegal operations. In some streams the salmon have almost been extermi nated, but the success of salmon re storation by planting has been high ly satisfactory to naturalists and pisciculturists. In all principal rivers have been distributed millions or young fry, and every year witness es such an increased demand that the iuture of the Penobscot, Ken nebec, Androscoggin, St. Croix, Saco, Presumpscot and the Machias, as great salmon producing rivers, bright ens as the time rolls on. About thir teen years ago, quite a number of ponds were stocked with black bass, which has since proved an edible luxury and a favorite with anglers." This fish, which feeds largly, on bean mid pickerel, is a good breeder, grows rapidly when hatched, and is a hard fish to" catch, unless one is used to his habits. It has been discovered that onfyS per cent, of salmon eggs deposited in the natural way on the spawning bed and impregnated by the male fish produce fish, while, by the artificial progress that is in vogue, nearly every egg, or 98 per cent, becomes impregnated. The phenomenon of this egg impregnation is remarkable. The female eggs constitute a semi transparent spherical mass, and the milt of tho male, which is discharged upon it is made up of what is termed spermatozoids, which are romarkably active in traversing the egg to find entrance to the micropyle where, when once inside, the embroyonic salmon is formed. About the middle of September is the time when the salmon relieve themselves of their ova. They come into the rivers until the waters literally teem with them as they proceed to their rids where they deposito their spawn. The male fish never appears gam er than when he leaps from the water like an athelete, while his beautifully tinted body flashes in tho sunlight with more of gorgeous beau ty than ever. It is on these trips to tho spawning bed that the salmon rarfty, if ever, rises to the fly. It is only in tho pond where they are con fined for artificial propagation that they are disposed to take the fly. It is noticed that the same fishes do not return every year to spawn. The un certainty of their reappearance at regular intervals, together with the small percentage in impregnated eggs in tho natural way, has led to artifi cial spawning and hatching on an ex tensive scale. Tho fish for artificial spawning are procured in July or Axi gust, and the spawning takes place in October and November. Tho pe riod for hatching is between three and four months, depending on the temperature of the water. The yield of ova is about GOO eggs to one pound of flesh, and this yield applies to not only sea and land-locked salmon, but to tho trout For tho propagation of the latter fish there have been estab lished several hatching houses, the principal ones being at Eangely and Moosehead lakes. The eggs hatched at Kangely are turned into tho An droscoggin, and those at the Moose head are annually turned into that lake to keep its capacity good. Breed ing land-locked salmon is carried on in several hatching establishments, the principal one being at Grand Lake stream. This fish doas not jni grate to the sea. The young fry hatched have been and are annually distributed in numerous inland wa ters, notably at Moosehead, Enfield and Rangely, where they are multi plying very fast. They are caught at Moosehead with the fly, and some of them weigh twelve pounds and up ward. Maine is the only state that can furnish the ova of" land-locked salmon for distribution in other states. Tho Penobscot river is conceded to be the best river on the Atlantic sea board for the salmon fishery. The annual catch is already very large, and is a source of great profit to the net and weir fishermen. The salmon eggs used at tho Bucksport and Or laud hatching works all come from these fishermen. These works are located on Dead brook, a tributary of tho Penobscot. The state as well as national government has a control ing interest in these works. Massa chusetts and Connecticut contribute to the support of these works, and receive in turn a dividend in eggs based on the amount of their sub scriptions. A few days ago there were placed in these works nearly 1, 500,000 impregnated sea salmon ova. The spawning of these fish is a very interesting operation, and has to be done by skilful manipulation. After the eggs are taken from the female fish, milt is ejected into the ova from the male fish. In a few moments the mass, which is contained in a pan, undergoes a transformation in color, nhd the eggs become separated. They are now washed, and after being turned into wooden trays, each one foot square, they are conveyed to the developing house, where they are placed under a gentle stream of run ning water and kept submerged until tKe eyes of the incipient fish are seen, resembling two minute black dots, each as small as the point of a needle. To reach this condition it generally takes two months. Dnring this period, the ova is examined every low days, and, if any eggs are spoiled, they are removed at once. After the embry onic stage has been reached, the pro cess of incubation can be completed by having the temperature of the wa ter increased in warmth, but if tho ova is to be shipped elsewhere in tho United States, or to remote distances -omtof the country, the temperature of the water is reduced to nearly the freaking point The ova k then care fully packed in damp moss, in layers of gauze netting, and kept wet and cool during transportation. In this way the hatching is suspended until the ova has reached its destination, when the water is increased to a more thermal condition and the little fish hatched, and in a short time they are ready to follow their own instincts. To-day Penobscot salmon are swim ming in the rivers of Australia, where no salmon was ever known until the ova was introduced there from Maine, Many Comities. Washingion Torrilory, with 70,090 square miles area, has thirty-three counties; Montana, with 14G,000 square miles, has only thirteen coun ties; Oregon, with 9G,O00 square miles, has twenty-three counties; Idaho, with 85,000 square miles, has thirteen counties; Utah, with 85,000 square miles, hsis twenty-three counties; Ne vada, with 111,000 square miles, has fifteen comities, and Arizona, with 113,000 square miles, has only ten counties. What is there in the popu lation of Washington Territory that impels them in this direction, a some thing jossessed by them in a greater degree than bytheir neighbors else where on the Pacific slope? Take it all over the Pacific slope and the average area of counties is twico that of counties in Washington Territory. The theory we have is that the popu lation here is more evenly divided, that towns are more numerous and that the inhabitants thereof are pos sessed with restless local ambitions that cannot be renressed. and which most easily and plainly shows itself m this vmy.Post-lniclligenci'r. Railroads Forbidden. Tho Kootcnay railroad act, which passed the legislature of British Co lumbia last June, has been disallowed by the Dominion of Canada. This act anthonzed J. U. Amsworth, Geo. J. Amsworth, E. W. Blaisdell, J. W. Sprague and G. B. Wright to build a short line of railroad in the eastern part of the Province, to build and run steamboats, put up and operate tele graph wires, etc. It not only author ized this, but it gave them a donation of 50,000 acres of land outright The objection of the Canadian govern ment is that the proposed works would interfere with the Canadian Pacific railroad, and instead of being a feeder of that read, would really be a feeder of the Northern Pacific, and that the effect of their construction wonld be to divert trade from Canada to the United States. The Eraser river railway and the New Westminis ter Southern railway have been pro hibited for like reasons. -Union. Carl Schurz's retirement from tho New York Post afibxds another proof of the difficulty of conducting a newspaper by an editorial council. There were two editors of the Even ing Pout besides Mr. Schurz himself, or three in all; and it appears from what he told our reporter, that the intellectual energies of this profes sional combination was not only ex pended in the composition of leading articles, but were taxed also in dis putes over the policy of their journal touching grave public questions. They thus each performed double work of a very exhausting kind. Be sides writing, they had to make them selves ready for debates in the coun cil room over the positions proper for so important an organ of public opin ion. We cannot blame them if under such circumstances they approached their literary task with a sense of fatigue which detracted from the vivacity of their articles. There is a clergyman in Tennessee called the "satisfying preacher." If a congregation is discontented he is sent for, and so atrociously bad is he that after hearing him once or twice the congregation is entirely satisfied to keep the pastor it has. The 67 ris tian Advocate tells this story, and adds that when the great Robert Hall was recovering from mental aberra tion he took a whim that he would not preach. Several clergymen filled his pulpit. At last he heard one so poor that he said to him so the tra ditioiris: "Sir, you have produced a great effect by your sermon to-day. If the people must hear you or me, my duty is clear I must resume prench- The report in circulation among tho papers of Washington Territory, to the effect that the new counties were undone by the late decision of Judges Hoyt and Green on the "Omnibus bill" is unfounded. Their decision in no wise affects tho new counties, the organization of which will go right on as contemplated by tho laws creating them. TheJiriiisit Cohimhian complains loudly of the wholesale manner in which the lands of the province are being seized. It says that at this time there ore applications on file to purchase 150,000,000. by men wanting in each case over 1C0 acres. Asingle individual wants 50,000. Senator Dolph has written a letter congratulating the,womenof Wash ington territory on their -victory in the matter of suffrage extension, and expressing the hope that Oregon would speedily fall into line. The latest fish story is from Ska mokawa, where a sturgeon is chained up which is five feet thick and ten long. It is to bo barbecued at Klas kanine on Christmas. Standard. George Bucknell of Lake county, CaL, who is in his dotage and has no confidence in banks, buried his bonds for greater safety, and has forgotten where he buried them. The Oregon Short Line railroad bridge at the second crossing of Snake river is completed, and cars will be running to Payette within a few days.
