feeler, detected one of the youngsters and put it up. 
Away it went full speed, followed by one, two, or 
three of the huge monsters. No greyhound fancier 
ever saw a better bit of coursing as the little chap 
doubled and’ turned with the greatest agility, while 
over and over again the great lumbering cod overshot 
their mark, and the little fish went to earth, only, how- ° 
ever, to be again routed out’ and hunted until not one 
was left. 
Perhaps when Professor Herdman’s fantastic dream of 
the time when we shall not hunt our sea fish, but shall feed 
and rear them as we do our cattle is realised, we may see | 
a new sport introduced, but I fear we shall not live to enjoy 
it, for as a preliminary to even beginning to study seriously 
how to provide at a commercial price the millions of tons’ 
of food’ that would be required (to say nothing of the? 
embankments to keep the fish in, which would cost more ' 
than the Panama Canal, if they could be built at all), our | 
meteorologists must first not only understand the great 
laws that regulate wind and water, frost and heat, but 
must be able to control them, and work the great forces of 
Nature at their bidding, or all the other would be liable to 
destruction in a moment. 
As our meteorologists have made so little progress with 
this first trifling step, it will be a long time before this 
state of things is brought about.
