SPAR COATING 
is used by those yacht builders who have a reputa— 
tion they intend to keep. The most expensive var- 
nish is the varnish that does not last long and leaves 
the boat unprotected. The cheapest, because it is 
the best, is Edward Smith & Co’s Spar Coating—it 
was used on the International yacht cup winners— 
on the ‘‘Queen,” the ‘‘Vim,” etc., etc. Its initial 
cost may be a little more than some, but in the long 
run it is by far the most economical.

In one respect the peasant of the Austrian 
Tyrol resembles the hedgehog, because he can 
take in one dose as much arsenic as would kill 
several Americans. This is not because the 
peasant is provided with any special means of 
combating the effects of the drug, but because 
he habituates himself to it. The Tyrolean finds 
that arsenic increases his power of endurance. 
He commences by taking an eighth of a grain 
for a dose, which is gradually increased until he 
can take without any ‘ill effect five’or more grains 
at a time. 
Experts have not been able to make up their 
minds why these people become tolerant to the 
drug. The most plausible theory put forward 
up to the present is that an antitoxin is formed 
by the administration of the poison which 1tm-

' THE SANTA CRUZ HATCHERY. 
Capitoca, Cal., June 15.—Editor Forest and 
Stream: . At Brookdale on the railroad running 
from the historic city of Santa Cruz to the town 
of Boulder Creek, in the Santa Cruz Moun- 
tains, California, is situate the Santa Cruz county 
fish hatchery, which was established during the 
winter of 1905, and the importance of which is 
deserving of more than passing notice. This 
hatchery is maintained by the Southern Pacific 
Company and the county of Santa Cruz, and 
while it has been in operation for less than two 
years, its marked success has attracted the at- 
tention of fish culturists all over the country, 
and in the near future it will be the means ot 
developing much of very great value and im- 
portance to ichthyologists. a 
The subject of establishing a fish hatchery in 
the county of Santa Cruz had often been dis- 
cussed by the people. Over ten years ago the 
matter was taken up, but the proposition at that 
time did not meet with sufficient support to war- 
ran its undertaking and insure its future main- 
tenance. On account of the lack of realization 
of the value and importance of a fish hatchery 
to the county, and the lukewarm public senti- 
ment, which at that time existed in favor of 
protecting and stocking the beautiful streams in 
the county, the matter was dropped. It was not 
again sincerely considered until about two years 
ago when Judge James H. Logan, of Brookdale, 
again took up the subject, held a conference 
with Charles S. Fee and H. R. Judah, and suc- 
ceeded in interesting them in the feasibility of 
the proposition. 
Mr, Fee and Mr. Judah authorized an investi- 
gation to be made as to a suitable location for 
the establishment of the proposed’ hatchery, and 
also as to what the county would do toward the 
construction and maintenance of a hatchery. 
A meeting of the board of supervisors of the 
county was held in Santa Cruz early in January, 
1g05, and many public spirited citizens of the 
county who were present strongly urged the 
board to co-operate in the project. Judge Logan 
formally offered the necessary land and the water 
rights, and pledged his assistance. 
The citizens of Santa Cruz county were quick 
to realize the benefit that would certainly re- 
sult to them from the establishment of a local 
fish hatchery, and were enthusiastic in their 
support of the proposition. The supervisors, 
backed by these numerous expressions of public 
sentiment, decided to do all the law would allow 
to assist in its establishment. The Southern 
Pacific Company offered to join hands with the 
supervisors in defraying the future expenses of 
maintaining the hatchery after suitable buildings 
had been erected and properly equipped. Money 
would have to be raised for erecting and equip- 
ping suitable buildings, developing the water 
supply and fencing the grounds. The funds were 
soon raised by popular subscription. Mr. Frank 
Shebley. an ichthyologist of wide reputation, and 
thoroughly versed in the requirements and equip- 
ment of a fish hatchery, was employed as super- 
intendent and a suitable location for the hatch- 
ery was selected on the banks of Clear Creek 
near its confluence with the San Lorenzo River 
at Brookdale. 
No time was lost in erecting a hatchery build-
