the bottom of this lake, and as a result, many of 
the fish were killed, and the remainder rendered 
impotable from the taste of oil. But about ten 
years ago these wells were plugged, since which 
time the fish have again become plenty and 
edible. By shuttling of 603 steam and electric 
trains every twenty-four hours yon can make 
the trip for one or two cents a mile to each 
of the waters mentioned. Add to these whirl¬ 
ing wheels the street cars and the automobiles 
with the network of boulevards, and we be¬ 
come amazed at the great facility surrounding 
us to go a-fishing. 
The League of Ohio Sportsmen was regu¬ 
larly incorporated Feb. 7, While this is 
a distinct organization, yet it is the outgrowth 
of, and is mothered by the Columbus Anglers’ 
Club. This State-wide movement has for its 
purpose the protection of fish, game and song 
birds, and creating interest in outdoor sports 
and open air amusements. It provides for eighty- 
eight vice-presidents, one for each county in 
the State, who will handle the League’s business. 
Ohio appropriated last year $28,000 for the 
Fish and Game Commission, an amount far too 
small for great results. The League expects 
within two years to have to its credit $200,000. 
Why not? By a conservative estimate, we have 
800,000 voting fishermen in Ohio; and if each 
would pay twenty-five cents, the Commission 
would have a power that would keep a plenty 
of fish in every State water, so that for an 
hour or two of recreation a potable fish or 
two could be creeled. 
Ownership of Shore Lands in Germany. 
Prior to Jan. i, 1900, the general Roman 
law, which provides that all flowing waters, 
the sea, and the seacoast to the utmost limit 
of the highest tide, should belong to the State, 
was applicable in the larger part of the Ger¬ 
man Empire. Since the date named there has 
been a development of legal principles in this 
country, according to which the following rules 
are now operative: 
“Private ownership of property does not 
vest in those things which, according to their 
natural state and condition, are beyond the 
mastery of human agencies. Therefore, while 
the shores of the sea might in themselves be¬ 
come subject to private civil law, they are 
looked upon everywhere in Germany as the 
property of the Government, and in order to 
determine the limits of this ownership in all 
probability the old Roman principle of the 
reach of the highest tide would govern. There¬ 
fore private privileges on the seacoast in the 
German Empire can be acquired only through 
special agreements with the State which exer¬ 
cises sovereignty in the territory. 
“The possibility of private ownersliip of 
territories situated on public rivers and water¬ 
ways in the interior, as well as brooks, ponds, 
and streams, exists; but the local law of each 
particular German State aoplies, there being 
no Imperial water law. All continually flow¬ 
ing waterways are public and are not subject 
to private control. Lakes in the interior are 
regarded as closed waters and may be owned 
privately."—U S. Consul-General Robert P. 
Skinner, Hamburg. 
Let every dawn of morning be to you as 
the beginning of life, and every setting sun be 
to you as its close; then let every one of 
these short lives leave its sure record of some 
kindly thing done for others, some goodly 
strength or knowledge gained for yourselves.—

The Breadfruit Tree. 
One of the gifts of the Eastern tropics to 
the Western is the breadfruit, which is now ex¬ 
tensively planted in the West Indies. This can 
be done only by cuttings, as the cultivated va¬ 
riety develops no seeds; in the wild form the 
chestnut-like seeds are eaten, but the pulp is 
disregarded. The tree is of moderate height, 
says Harper’s Weekly, but spreads a broad 
crown of large, ragged-edged, glossy leaves, 
making an excellent shade. The fruit, which 
is a compound of the massive clusters of blos¬ 
soms, is about the size of a cocoanut, and is 
incased in a rough rind. This, when baked in 
hot embers, or in an oven, broken open and 
scooped out with a spoon, tastes like mashed 
potatoes and milk, or like sweet bread, which 
it also resembles in appearance. It is a little 
fibrous toward the center, but elsewhere is 
quite smooth and “puddingy.” Sometimes a 
curry or stew is made of it; and it goes well 
as al vegetable with meat or gravy. “With 
sugar, milk, butter or treacle,” Wallace wrote, 
“it is a delicious pudding, having a very slight 
but delicate and characteristic flavor, which, 
like that of good bread and potatoes, one never 
gets tired of.” It is also highly nutritious. 
The genus (artocarpus) contains several 
species, one of which, the jackfruit, is also cul¬ 
tivated for eating. The timber of the tree is 
also useful, the bark can be prepared for a 
sort of cloth, and the sap forms, when boiled 
with oil, a mucilaginous liquid very useful for 
making the seams of wooden pails, canoes and 
the like watertight.
