hatchery at the capitol. Later on he was trans¬ 
ferred to the hatchery at Erwin, Tenn., and later, 
or, in 1906, to the great hatchery station at Cape 
Vincent, N. Y. There he spent some of the 'best 
years of his life, for he often spoke of the pleas¬ 
ure he derived from visiting with the great army 
of bass anglers who meet there in mid-summer. 
At that place he succeeded the late Livingston 
Stone. Like Mr. Stone, he wrote many valuable 
papers on fish culture and on fishing, some of 
which were printed in these columns. 
In September Mr. Green fell ill, and in Octo¬ 
ber the surgeons at the Watertown Hospital per¬ 
formed an exploratory operation, but evidently 
this did not bring relief from the intestinal ail¬ 
ment that sapped his strength, and after his re¬ 
turn home he failed rapidly, and finally death 
ended his sufferings. 
Those who survive Chester Green are his 
widow; his sons, Seth and Eric S.; a daughter, 
Miss Helen; two sisters, Miss Louise Green and 
Mrs. A. G. Taylor of Rochester; and a brother, 
William C. Green of Cincinnati. 
Mr. Green was a member of the Genesee Falls 
Lodge, F. and A. M., of the Columbia Rifle Club, 
both of Rochester; and of the Cape Vincent 
Yacht Club.

The Sagacity of Fish 
By HARTIE I. PHILLIPS 
Many claim that fish are lacking in sagacity, 
but a recent incident related by Game Warden 
Elvin C. Burtis of Monmouth County, New Jer¬ 
sey, proves otherwise. 
A short time ago he stocked a lake near 
Asbury Park with black bass and visited it a few 
days later, accompanied by a friend, William N. 
Minroe, to ascertain how they were getting along. 
While standing on a rustic bridge, spanning the 
lake, their attention was attracted to a stately old 
swan that came swimming gracefully along; as 
it got underneath the bridge, it suddenly stuck 
its head down to the bottom, to eat some grass, 
which is one of its main sources of food; in grab¬ 
bing and shaking some, it made quite a commo¬ 
tion in the water; as it arose, they were surprised 
to see a great number of perch dart hither and 
thither after the insects, etc., that had been liber¬ 
ated by the disturbance, and as the swan started 
to swim off they followed in his wake like a regi¬ 
ment of soldiers, or as Mr. Burtis expressed it, 
“That they followed their free meal ticket, the 
swan, all over the lake.” 
Chester R. Green 
Another one of the nation’s most eminent 
fish culturists has crossed the Great Divide. 
Chester K. Green died on November 5 at his 
home in Cape Vincent, N. Y., after a long and 
painful illness. His age was fifty-seven years. 
Chester Green was a son of the late Seth 
Green. From his father he received a thorough 
training as a fish culturist, and from him, too, he 
inherited his love for fishing and the great out¬ 
doors. Years ago he was successful in a busi¬ 
ness way with a large fish and oyster market that 
he owned in Rochester. From there he was called 
to Washington to take charge of the Government 
Cincinnati, Nov. 14th, 1913. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Enclosed find my check for three dollars. 
Have found Forest and Stream very enjoyable, 
especially the Archery news. I am proud to say 
that at one time Cincinnati supported a paper 
(weekly) called the Weekly Archery News. 
Keep up your good work, for there is no 
sport so pleasing to the mind and body as when 
the cado string gives its good old song and with 
the arrow to the gold as of old.

Writes Warning for Father 
There is a boy 9 years old in a family which 
recently returned to their apartment after spend¬ 
ing the summer in the country. 
Mother, small son and maids went to the 
flat. Father went to his office, where a pressure 
of work compelled him to labor all day and far 
into the evening. When he got home everybody 
had gone to bed. Approaching the bathroom 
door, he found it closed and adorned with a 
large sheet iof wrapping paper, on which a 
proclamation of some sort seemed to have been 
laboriously printed in large and straggling capital 
letters. 
Turning up the hall light, this is what father 
read: 
DO NOT OPEN THE BATHROOM DORE 
DO NOT RASE THE WINDOW. 
DO NOT TURN UP THE LIGHT. 
DO NOT MAKE ANY NOISE. 
THERE IS A MUD TURTLE ASLEEP IN 
THE WASH BASIN. 
There is a flourishing forest school in the 
Philippines, and 28 men were graduated with 
the class of 1913. 
The so-called Scotch pine is the principal 
tree in the Prussian forests. Its wood is much 
like that of the western yellow pine of the United 
States. 
In general it may be stated that the most 
dangerous forest fire periods in the west are in 
middle and late summer; in the east they are 
in the spring and fall. 
It has been suggested that guayacan, a very 
hard wood of Central America, may furnish 
shuttle blocks to supplement dogwood and per¬ 
simmon, now most used, and in danger of becom¬ 
ing exhausted.
