The Bureau nf Fisheries, which since

1003 has been A part of the Department nf Commerce and Labor, is peculiarly American in its conception, and its pru~ totype exists in few other countries. It labors directly for the preservation and increase of water animals, and in con-

junction with many of thc states hns~

placed certain branches of the Sshcries on :A permanent basis. It has achieved a wide reputation for originality of method and magnitude of operations, and ,has given this country first place in all mat- xi-iis pertaining to the enrichment of the Wliintic funil suply by artificial means. l`hc bureau has had -its exhibits at many -.i' the foreign expositions, and has been l‘ei- recipient of numerous 'awards for orig- - :ilily and excellence of work.

Something of the lrony.of fate is ex-

emplified ln an anecdote related by the New York Times concernlng Professor .Polrler, who unfll his death was the most famous cancer expert in France. Professor Poirier gave much of his

time without pay to aiding poor people addicted with cancer. One day there came to hlm a'womm on whom he had operated and who feared the growth was coming again. ' “Fear nothing," said the physician

when he had made an examination. “It will be some years before you will need a fresh operation-which, by the way, I shall not be able to perform." "But, doctor, you will not refuse to

treat me?" '

"No, my poor wonisn, but I shall not be there to do lt. I Iso have a cancer, and lt wlll be more rspld than yours."`
