FISllINO with cormorants Is no*
entirely foreign to the Eugltfth
people, as early in the seveu
teenth century It was common
ly done in Old England, where the
master of cftrmornnts was one of the
otltcers of the royal household. In
Japan this way of fishing has been
practiced merely for economic pur*
phsos, not for sporting ones as it wus
in Kngland, says Kiyosld Sakamoto In
an article in Couritry Life. Its orlrfi^
hero dates, indeed, from as far butfc
as GOO B, O.'; that is conclusively
proved by the "uta" composed by very
early Japanese poets.1 In ancient times
civilization came into Japan from
China, but I think this utilization of
the "feathered fishers" must have been
exported, on the contrary, to the
middle kingdom, for there is documen
tary evidence in China to show that It
was first practiced there early in the
sixteenth century.
In Japan t.hls practice has been safe
ly handed down to the present day,
protected by the law laid down by
Iyeyasu (the- first Shogun of the
Tokugdwa dynasty), that prohibited
anything that would be likely to hinder
the practice of the fislilhg. There is
another reason why the operation,
though primitive In Its way. is atll'
curried out in our country. The bird
has by instinct the faculty of choosing
the fish which are the best as table
delicacies. The fish caught by the.
cormorant are far moro delicious than
[those secured by any other method.
The imperial'' household department,
with a view to protecting this' old
practice of fishing, pay's now 123 yens
or 20 yen per year as pension *\o tllo
professional fishers, and offers-them
free access to the dead pine trees in
the imperial forests as fuel for the
braziers.
The cormorant is chiefly used in Ja
i pan to catch ayu (literally, "fragrant
fish"), which is a kind of swqet fish,
and la known to. ichthyologists as
piecogioSSUS 'atttveils Ti and S. Some
of them measure more- than al foot in
length, but generally 6 or T Laches.
The season for the fishing la fronfMay
| to October, during/-which ittine rivers
are visited by the sum It migratory
'fish. As to the ayu, Mr. C. Ingram
states: "The Japanese*epicures praise
thelayu ver^y hTghTy as a table delicacy,
though it must be admitted that the
uneducated occidental palate usually
fall**^tfr-d?tect Its culinary merit*; In
fact, when I tasted .it I thought It
compared rather unfavorably with the
smelt, a fish It superficially resembles."
I am told that a great number of the
ayu caught In {he ftlyer Nngara arc
sent every summer to* the ; Imperial
household through the local governor,
as boiled ayu Is one of the Mikado's
favorite dishes.
Birds Not Hard to Train.
The cormorant (the best species for
the .purpose is phalacrocoraz caplllat
18) Is apparently, ngt very hard, tfl
train. The' young bird is caught in
Winter, and is said to be entirely tamed
in two weeks. It takes, however, just
two years to enable It to render satis
factory services to the keeper. While
the bird la being tamed; the keeper
binds its beak with a cord, so th^t it
may not hurt him.We learn that it
was formerly the custom In England
to carry the bird hooded till it could
be used for fishing, by. which means it
was kept quiet. - The operation ia
usually carried out on dark nlgbta, as
the birds can do no good on brfght>

moonlight ouch, for the 11*1 cnn clearly
see the enemy, and, moreover, tin'
braxlers, which are Intended to attract
the fish, are of no avail.
The fishing boat (s very much like
the Venetian gondola! and carries four
fishermen, one rif whom stands on the
how using 12 carriYorants, another in
the middle using four birds, and the
remaining two control the boat with
pplos. Generally one cormorant
catches seven or eight ayu every time.
How the Fishing Is Done.
To begin with the fishermen take the
*1)1 rds out one by one from the cage
and put round the neck a siuull metal
ring, which pressed a part of the gullet
so that aiiy llsh (except tiny ones)
swallowed may not reach the bird'*
stomach. Then they attach a long
.string to the bird, which they hold In
the JlKptf. During the fishing season
the b\*ds nre.never fed in. the daytime
so as to enable them* to pursue the fish
with furious activity owing to hunger,
which is. appmsed by tiniest lishes
1 swallowed upright, as the band ts
I loosely fastened. It roquires, Indeed,
/rent skill and.dexterity on the part of
tin* fishermen to control the cords with
out getting hopelessly entangled. He
must, moreover, entourage Llie birds'
movements and anxiously watch them,
for when (hey have completely tilled
their gullets they swim idly upon the
surface. It is almost incredible to
>vho liayq n,ot.,^een tj^v WPcr^<*i
wlmt activity the bird displays under
water in quest of its prey,- and In a
shallow part of the river a fish rarely
escapes the bird's keen eyes and sud-i
den tUrns, unless it takes refuge sun
der a stone or in the mud. The bird
then returns to Its keeper, and a tittle
manipulation of Its neck effects the
delivery of the booty. It may then bo
let loose again to recommence its
thank lens task.
Generally five or seven of the fish
ing boats are at work in company,
milking a lino that usually extends
across the river. The fishermen's
ttofcphes inulw the scene so bright that
Ota*? would think the river was on fire,
and it is sometimes full of boats with
..spectators, who coma from the neigh
jorlng districts to enjoy the picturesque
sight as well ?s the evening cool.

Canadian Fox Industry.
A very large number of fox skins
a^' being taken off by the ranchers
of the Chsrlottetown district, writes
Consul William A. Pierce, Churlotte
town, Prince Edward Island, Canada.
This will continue until the end of the
kitting^ season in January. The pelf
of the Prince Edward Island black fox
reaches prime condition for length,
luster, and thickness about December
. Leading fur buyers of New York
and London, who have recently visited
the Island, have spoken highly of the
ranch-bred fox pelts. Values up to
$1,500 have been placed on single
skins. *
Quite a number of this year's pups
will be kept and ranched for another
breeding season, bat most of the ranch
ers will pelt the equivalent (In num
ber; this year's production. Ap
proximately $30,000,000 la invested
hero in foxes. Few companies or ranch
ers ..have paid dividends for two years.
The market is still much below prices
of former years for breeding pairs.
