Steps Taken to Ascertain Exe
tent of Seasonal Movements,
Any angler knows that the kinds of
fish to be caught In the sea off New
York in summer are different from
those found there in the colder months
of the yesr. 7The gentle southwest
bhreeges of late springtime waft sun
warmed surface water from further
south to New Jersey, Long Island and
southern New Ingland. With a higher
waler temperature these nelghbor
hoods become agreeable for the weak
fish, Llnefish, summer flounder, locally
enlled fluke, und varlous other south
ern apecies, which migrate to us from
preater or less distances and spend
the gummer off our shores,
Then in October and Navember, 7.
1. Nichols of the American Museumn of
Natural History, writes in the New
York sSun, the erisp, cold northwest
wind sends the warm summer surfuce
water dancing out to sea, and the fem
pecature of the tide falls from week
to week with that of the air. One by
one the summer fishes find it too cold
for comfort and go elsewhere, To
tuke thelr place schools of cod now
round the cape which bears their
noeme, and this species, with others
characteristic of the colder northern
portions of the Atlantie, give us our
winter fishing.
Mummy Fish Used as Bait.
There are also certain common fish
that ean get along in a greater range
of water temperature and that have
no very appuarent migration, hut are
present at all seasons, For instance,
there Is the lttle killfish, also called
“mummy,” much in use for bait. The
blackfish or tautog is here the year
round, but too sluggish to take the
bait In the coldest weather, and hites
most actively in the spring and fall.
The winter flounder, also called fiat
fish, 18 nlso a permanent resident. Tt
is caught in the spring and full, for It
geems to lose appetite in summer, when
the largest individuals have also prob
ubly moved out into deeper water,
Such, briefly, is the character of the
migration of marine fishes as It oc
curs not only near New York but in
all parts of the sea where there is a
considerable difference between sum
mer temperature and winter tempera
tures,
These migrations are not necessarily
of a simple north and south character,
more or less deflected to eastward or
to westward along shore by the trend
of the coast, There are two other guite
different types to which the move
ments of a given species may belong,
or they may be a combination of all
throe,
| Toadfish Present Only in Winter.
To illustrate a second type take the
case of the angler, sometimes errone
ously called toadfish. This is a large
sluggish fish with an enormous head
and wide mouth with formidable teeth,
It lles on the bottom in wait for
smaller fishes and is said to lure them
within resch by means of one or more
peculiar flaps of skin at the summit of
slender spines which rise from the
top of its head. The angler Is absent
from the shore waters near New York
city in summer and present there in
winter, 1t Is present coastwise in New
England throughout the vear, as also
in deep water off New York city. I'rom
the depths outside to our bays 1s wmuch
less in actual distance than from New
England would be. The angler is so
sluggish a fish that one can searcely
coneeive of its undertaking extensive
travels and its migration is prohably
almost entirely up and down, from
deep to shallow water, and vice versa,
The movements of many fishes may
partake somewhat of this character,
Just how much it f\ impossible to say,
All Fish More or Less Migratory.
A good deal could be written about
fish migration; of how the young of
tropleal specles accompany jelly fishes
and seaweed drifting in the trend of
the gulf stream, and appenr sporadical
1y in late summer and fall hundreds of
miles north of where they belong: of
how schools of menhaden, not found
north of South Carolina in winter,
and occurring in Nova Scotia in sum
mer, prove an annual trip of 700 or
800 sea miles each way for that fish:
but whatever is known on this subject
merely emphasizes what is not known,
In our present state of knowledge,
having ellminated every possible error
from our deductions, those deductions
become fragmentary aod hazy in the
extreme.
We have recently been informed
that there is a movement on foot to
tag and liberate codfish in the Atlan
tie, with a view to obtain definlte in
formation, when these fish are re
taken, as to extent and direction of
the travels of an individual fish. This
method has yielded valuable results
as anplied to the salmon of the Pa
cific coast. It seems to have first been
tried in 1908, when, then an assistant
in the United States bureau of fish
eries, 1 well remember holding the big
slippery kicking salmon as they were ‘
drawn from the water of the Columbia 1
river while Prof. Charles W. Greene
of the University of Missouri attached
a round metal button, like those used
to tag the ears of sheep, at one side
of the base of the fishes' tails. ‘
i Tagged Salmon Recaught.
Of 59 fish thus marked in one day, |
August 14, 1908, near the mouth of the |
river, 17 were retaken and reported.
Saven of them had traveled up to the
Celilo vapids, a distance of 210 miles,
Plve of these long distance fish were
siiver salmon, ‘They made the trip in
from 25 to 83 days after being togged,
The other two were steelheads. They
weut up the rlver in more lelsurely
fushion, one taking 35 days and the
ather 52 days.
The experimental tagging I refer to
indiented that silver salmon and steel
heads migeate at an average speed of
from 6 to 7% miles a day, and prob
ably were when wholly within fresh
water, Tt also Indicated that salmon
enrefully acellmate themselves to fresh
witer by swimming back and forth In
tide water before undertaking the mi
gratlon upstream, The movements of
the Pacifie sulinon in entering and as
conding rivers of the coast to spawn
are now rather woll voderstood,
It is time (o gather as much definite
inforiuation as we may about the
wovenents of migratory sea flish, for
withoui such information their consers
vation, which is a problein of national
fniportenee, is badly handieapped.
CENTLEWOMEN SUFFER WANT
Widows of Once Prominent Germans
Pawn Clathes for Food.
Thousands of German gentlewomen
arn now going through the tragedy
which Russizn women of the same
claxs have suffered for several years,
Widows of ofticers and government of

Himited incomes from investments, find
thimnselves unable to buy the plainest

A few days ago the aged widow of
a once prominent physician and her
invalid daughter were found almost
dead from hunger in their home,
which had been stripped of every
salable article,
In an effort to alleviate the condi
tion of sueh persons and protect them
from unscerupalous second -hand deal
ors, n number of philanthropic Berlln
women have organized a fair, where
second-hand articles may be offered
for sile.
With German efliciency the mem
hers of the relief committee have pro
vided tables behind which the sellers
have chairs. They are mostly elderly
women., Many of them are cripples,
and almost without exception their
worn and old-fashioned clothing indi
cates their gentle birth,
