A review of the scientific work of the Biological Board of Canada, as carried on at the Atlantic biological station was given by Prof.. A. P. Knight before the Canadian Club in the Hotel Frontenac on Wednesday levening. His discourse was confined ito the lobster fisheries in particular, land he showed that, as a result of in- | vestigations carried out under his direction the government was able to |abolish the lobster hatchery, thus saving $35,000 per year, and by edu- cating the fishermen, preserve a pro- fitable industry that was fast being destroyed.

In the course of his most interest- ll ing address Dr. Knight gave examples of the two classes of problems that engage the attention of | which ig composed entirely of volun- teer workers, The lobster industry {is, of course a commercial pursuit and the canners are"looking for the rewards. One great fault in the busi- ness was the absence of standardiza- tion. Lobsters were packed {n salt pickle running from two sper cent. to twelve per cept. solution. In order to determine the proper selution it | was necessary to deal with the prob- {lem as a purely scientific one and at | Queen's University he had an analy- |sfs made of the blood and flesh of {lobsters to ascertain the amount of 'salt naturally present in the animal. |It was thus found that the pickle in | canning lobster should not be strong- er than three per cent. nor weaker |than two per cent. Better canned {lobsters was the result. "This is an example of our work in pure science and it will give you better results than if you work with purely econ- omic objects," declared the speaker. Other aspects of our scientific re- search include life-history, growth and food of fish; faunistic wérk; biochemical; bacteriological; hydre- graphic, and physical and chemical study of sea water, A large number {of papers were given to the govern- ment last year, Diseases in Fish. The diseases of fiesh are frequently traced to their food for this is a cause of infection in the same man- ner that human beings contract dis- ease from polluted food. The herring and haddock are especially subject to infection from bacteria, In order to appreciate the far-reaching re- sults of disease or the restrictions in food supply, the - speaker told of the records kept since 1820 by the Hudson Bay Company of the re- ceipts of the pelts of fur-bearing lanimals. It was found that every year the number of pelts fluctuated the number of rabbits increased or decreased, and just as the supply rabbits fluctuated, so did the num- Ber of animals that lived on rabbits, such as the lynx, fox, ete. For just as food is scarce or plentiful so is {the animal population, the kingdom lof man affording no exception. "I visited the fish hatchery in Frince Edward County in September and there saw a little green plant growing in the water of the hatchery {upon which the water fleas fed. They were trying to raise trout but the trout would not eat the water fleas, and they put in 22,000 finger- lings and fry to feed the large trout to get eggs. What was really the matter in this case was the absence of a natural link in the chain that would provide food for the trout ) | Robertson's Limited 73 Princess St. Easy To Wear--Hard To Wear Out "HURLBUT CUSHION-SOLE 'SHOES FOR CHILDREN 4 (MADE-IN-CANADA) We carry a complete assortment.

Lobster Hatcheries Abolshed. It was costing the government $35,000 to maintain the two lobster hatcheries, and in 1916 I was asked to make an investigation, I checked the gutput of the hatchery at the At- lantic station showing the intake of eggs and the output of fry. There were 72,000,000 lobster eggs taken in and 42,000,000 fry put out. This was In the first week of July. At the end of three weeks 80 per cent. and the government closed the hatch- eries and sold the buildings. A cam- paign of education was started among the fishermen who were clear- ly shown that if they were to have any industry they bad to take care of the mother lobster, They had been taking the mothers and ruth- lessly destroying them, some fisher- men making from $400 to $1,500 in a fow weeks, Today there is an en- tively different aspect. Fishermen will not hesitate to prosecute any found destroying the mother lobsters, and the result is that there never were so many lobsters to be seen under four years of age in the water and about the shores. It is only four years since this has been done and we have a greatly. increasing supply simply by enforcing the laws. "Legislation cannot do what edu- cation will do. For forty years the 'government tried restricted legisla- tion--fines and jail did not amount to anything. I have found that pro- hibition and restrictive legislation is no good. You must have education. We saved the government $35,000 per year and we got only $26,000 with which to carry on our work." Dr. Knight told of the beginming of the Atlantic station at St. An- drews, NNB, It was really due to the initiative of thie" late Dr. Grant of Queen's University. "The first gov- ernment grant was $2,000 and the station was built on 4 stow that vieit- ed different parts of the coast, To- {Canadian Biological Board's| | condition was not brought about by | the board | { the eggs were dead or were abe i the biological station possesses | a plant worth $70,000 including buildings and equipment, He promis- ed on another occasion to give an taddress on fish hatcheries 'A hearty vote of thanks was ten- dered to Dr. Knight on the motion | of Rev.
