‘Some weeks ago I purchased one of your guns 
second hand, which is one of the finest specimens 
of the gunmaker’s ad 1 have ever seen. It is in splen¬ 
did condition. I have critically compared this gun with 
W. R.'s, J. L. & S.'s and W. & C. S. guns selling at 
400 dollars and upwards, and the balance is in favor of the 
Greener as regards material, workmanship and balance. I 
have owned one Greener before this, have owned and used many 
guns of English and American make, and consider yours far superior 
to any other."— J. H. H. B., Lynn, Mass., U. S. A. 1 1-7-06.

{Salmo irideus), 15.000 landlocked salmon {Salmo 
salar sebago), and 3.000,000 cod {Gadus collarias). 
1 personally had cbarge of this consignment of 
eggs to Southampton, England, being accom¬ 
panied by Mr. Erank Bropliy. The loss of the 
cod eggs was almost complete when we arrived 
in England, hence 1 determined not to attempt 
to take any of these further. Hie loss of other 
eggs was very small indeed, having been less 
than one-half of 1 per cent, from the time they 
were packed until put on board the steamship 
Thames on Jan. 30, en route to Buenos Aires. 
The eggs were given over to Mr. Brophy’s 
charge when this ship left her dock on Jan. 1, 
and m addition to those already mentioned lie 
was given 20,000 Atlantic salmon eggs which 
were secured from the Earl of Denbigh’s 
fisheries in North Wales. Mr. Brophy arrived 
with the eggs at the hatchery in Santa Cruz on 
March 1. 
While the eggs that reached the hatchery alive 
appeared to be good, they were not as strong 
as a similar lot brought out for this hatchery 
from the United States and England two years 
previously, as will be seen by a comparison of 
the records. The death rate from the time the 
eggs were put into the hatching trays until 
they had finished hatching was in most cases 
rather high, as was also the death rate of fry 
during the month of March. 
The lake trout from this hatchery and also 
the landlocked and sockeye salmon are planted 
in Lago Argentino and other bodies of water 
nearby. The other salmon are usually planted 
in the Rio Santa Cruz and tributaries and 
Rio Gallegos and tributaries. The brook trout 
are planted in tributaries to the rivers men¬ 
tioned, also in the tributaries of Lago Argentino 
and Lago San Martin. The rainbows (first lot 
of eggs) were planted in tributaries to the Rio 
Santa Cruz. Lago Argentino is supplied by 
several small rivers and streams which rise in 
the Andes Mountains, where there is ice and 
snow the entire year. The Rio Santa Cruz 
rises in Lago Argentino, which itself is situated 
in the Andes Mountains at an elevation of 2,500 
to 3.000 feet above sea level, and is very deep. 
This lake has not been accurately surveyed, but 
is supposed to be 25 to 30 miles long at its 
greatest length and from 6 to 8 miles wide. 
It is in the territory of Santa Cruz, which is 
the most southerly but one of Argentina. 
On May 6 of this year I left New York with 
about 300.000 steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri). 
these being the sixth lot of eggs to leave the 
United States for the Argentine National Gov¬ 
ernment. These eggs were taken to South¬ 
ampton. England, where 50,000 rainbow eggs 
from Germany were added to the consignment. 
They left England May 15, arriving ,in Buenos 
Aires on June 7. and at the La Cumbre hatchery 
on the 13th of the same month. The loss of 
eggs en route from the United States was very 
small, and not over 10 per cent, on the rainbow 
eggs from Germany, this latter loss being en¬ 
tirely due to rough handling between Germany 
and England in the absence of any attendant 
THE FISH PROBLEM. 
Describing a series of experiments intended 
to determine whether or not fish can hear, the 
Shooting Times says there was a small pond 
under the shadow of a shooting lodge, which 
was literally full of good-sized trout. One side 
of the pond was rather shallow, and on a sum¬ 
mer afternoon dozens of trout were to be seen 
basking quite near the shore. The experiment 
was carried out in the following manner: A 
place was found where a good view of the trout 
could be obtained, the experimenters being well 
hidden and remaining so all the time. A gun 
was fired repeatedly, but the fish took not the 
slightest notice. The next experiment was to 
strike the bank sharply with a large stick, and. 
although this was done at some considerable 
distance from the margin of the pond, its im¬ 
mediate effect was to cause every trout visible 
to make for deep water. There are few in 
Swaledale who believe that trout can hear.

Camp-Fires of the Wilderness. 
By E. W. Burt. Cloth. Illustrated. 221 pages. Price, 
$1.25. 
The volume treats of a multitude of matters of in¬ 
terest to the camper, who, unless he is made comfortable 
by the exercise of a little expert knowledge and thought¬ 
fulness, may find himself when in camp the most miser¬ 
able of mortals. A man who has had experience, makes 
himself as comfortable in camp as at home, while the 
free and independent life, the exercise that he is con¬ 
stantly taking, the fresh air in which he works, eats and 
sleeps, combine to render his physical condition so per¬ 
fect that every hour of every day is likely to be a joy. 
“Camp-Fires of the Wilderness” is written for those 
persons who wish to go into camp, yet are without ex¬ 
perience of travel, chiefly by canoe and on foot, through 
various sections of the country, and it may be read with 
profit by every one who enjoys camping.
