At the meeting of tho local biennial board
of the (leneral Federation of Woman's
clubs, held recently In Los Angeles, it
was decided to chango tho dato of
tho opening of tho biennial from April
21 to May 1, In order that tho women In

of the Ilcvolutlon, to be held In Denver the
latter part of April, might tnko odvantago

Tho most Important featnro of the local
meeting was tho resignation of Mrs. H.

casioned by her bereavement In tho recent
death of her husband, Mrs. J. E. Cowles,
a prominent member of tho Krlday club
of Los Angeles nnd one of the most efficient
directors of that city, was elected to take
her place.
The meeting place for the convention waR
decided upon at Simpson auditorium, which
has a seating capacity of 3,000.

Tho feature of tho trndn last week was
the number of heavy buyers In comparison
with tho general slowness of trade. Among
theso was A. Henls of Clarlndn, ono of
tho most solid merchants of western Iowa.
A few years ago Mr. Heals visited tho
Omaha markets, but for nlno years has
bought his stocks entirely In Chicago. This
season ho was In tho city on other busi
ness, but, having n little time on his
hands, -visited the wholesnlo district nnd
ns a result placed an order, which will
Includa tho greater part of his fall stock.
Members of tho firm of Everett & Wnlte
of Laurel passed through tho city last
week on their way to Chicago nnd stopped
In tho city between trains, visiting tho
wholesalo dry goods houses. Today they
returned from the Windy City nnd pur
chased tholr full fall stock, aggregating
Bovcral thousands of dollars. Another Inrgo
dealer on tho market was Chris Webber of

Sir Thomas Lipton Is not only a sports
man, ho has a" very clear Idea of wha con-
- i nnd his grotesque
models, tho Shamrocks, glvo him as . mucU
concern ns thoy do sailor men .... ........
architects. In discussing tho matte - or
i.. .ii.i nn Mm nhsiird nnd arbitrary
rules governing tho races for tho cup, ho
spoko feelingly upon the sumcci.
"There is not a day," said he, "that I do
not feel thankful thcro nro no nccldcn s.
Theso huge, light spars of tho sing le-s Ick
crs, together with their nbsurd build, havo
n,.,t ihn handling of theso machines ono
of considerable danger. They nro no longer
yachts nnd can be used tor notnmg nui me
for which they nro built. If wo
could only get to using legltlmato models
there would bo much more sport nnu saieiy
and tho vessels would bo yachts. They
would stand for something. As It Is thoy
mean nothing nt all.
"Mr. Jlutlcr Duncan told mo ho hnd many
of his best men leave him because of the
danger of hnndllng gear aloft. Tho light
est tqunll or puff may coiso tho carrying
nwny of tomo lino or block and then tro
man Is very npt to lose his hojd nud go

many minutes during tho Occident that oc
curred while tho king was aboard Sham

nnd my mast aro still lying thcro on tho
bottom nnd It wns almost a mlraclo some
one wns not killed outright. We hnvo to
tuno tho boats up to too high a pitch on
thco curtailed lines and It Is a grenl pity."
What Sir Thomas says Is what many
sailors know. But no one has suggested n
remedy for It. Thcro has been no con
certed notion tnken to bring tho sport luck
to legitimate nnd comprchenslvo lines. The
whole game now Is to stick to tho rules nnd
keep tho other fellow from "lifting" tho
cup.
(iiniiKP of Itnli'M t'rncd.
It Is your fault entirely," said S'r
Thomas, meaning tho other side, '"for I
must abide by tho rules. I would, however,
only too willingly ngrco to some new de
velopment of tho rules by which wo might
get down to rcnl ynchtlng', that Is, uso ves
sels thnt stand for something In tho way
of a sailing yacht ns Erin does for those cf
steam. Then the affair would tako on a loss
professional aspect nnd bo moro In keeping
with truo sport."
This shows that Sir Thomas Is not actu
ated by Bclfish motives und that the go-d
of tho entire maritime community Is taken
Into his consideration ns well us his dcslro
to succeed In attaining his end.
"Let everything bo taken Into considera
tion," continued Sir Thomas, "and do r.ot
narrow tho eport down to tho caprices that
now obtain In it."
Sir Thomas did not outline nny particular
plan ot reform. This, of course, ho would
not think of doing under present conditions,
ns It might bo construed ns "kicking" when
tho game docs not suit. Whatovcr happens,
ho will doubtless accept everything In tho
snmo spirit that has characterized his ac
tions In the matter from tho beginning, and
this Is beyond criticism.
What tho baronet does not know about
small vessels It would bo hard to say. Any
man of Intelligence who has constructed
several craft ns studiously ns ho has would
havo little loft to learn In marine archi
tecture, and Sir Thomas 1b rather keen
and discerning by nature. Therefore his
vlows on tho question of build should not
be overlooked, for his argument of tho mnt-
ter Bhowed that ho was not simply tho
millionaire shipowner, but an able advo
cate of tho legltlmnto builder. Ily this It
Is not meant for n moment to cast reflec
tion upon tho work of ono or two yneht
designers, for they simply have to follow
certain lines. They would probably bo
only too glad to conform to models that
their patrons could mako uso of. Thoro
nro few nbler vessels of tho samo tonnngo
than tho old AmeMca today and for a rncu
across tho Atlantic thero would bo a largo
majority of sailor men putting their hopes
on such n model, nnd If this all-around
useful typo should return to favor many
non-owning members of prominent clubs
would be tempted to build themsolvcs
boats which should bo at onco pleasure
craft nnd rncers, where they would not
think of building a mere racing machine,
worthless when the raco Is over.
font of the Sliniurockn.
Sir Thomns does not nppear to think
there Is nny less Interest nbroad over tho
International races than here. Only, of
course, hero wo havo tho nffnlr before us.
This Is probably n mistake, for the leading
Journals in Eugland do not regard tho mat
ter as nerlously nB wo do, viewing It en
tirely from tho standpoint of tho sports
man who witnesses u horse raco. Among
the members of the yacht club tho Interest
Is Intense, but less marked among tho or
dinary citizens. The stolid Ilrlton could
novor bo persuaded to adopt, or even con
sider such lines for building ns are de
veloped by tho Shamrocks
"Tho amaunt of money I hnvo expended
on theso boats," said Sir Thomas, "will
never bo fully realized even by yachtsmen.
Tho new metal, Immndlum, has been enor
mously expensive nnd their entire con
struction has Involved moro enro than that
of nny vessel afloat. Yet when I nm through
with them thoy nro of no further value."
Now Sir Thomas Is not penurious. A
more free-handed yachtsman never lived
and his regret Is not for tho loss of money,
but tho waste of effort. There was enough
grey matter used In developing these ships
to havo constructed an Oceanic or Deutsch-
land. And all for no other purpose than to
lift" a cup whoso valuo Is very small
Indeed.
"It Is a most nbsurd model," says tho
owner, "and n poor excuso for a shin."
ii is not so vory difficult to procure a sot
of rules that would bo intelligent and at
tno same time keep the ships within prac
tical limits. If a vessel of ninety feet
water-line length wns not allowed mora
than n certain deck length and limited to
two fathoms draught thero would bo al
most n certainty ot having a model of n
real vessel for practical navigation. Time
allowance Is manifestly ridiculous. Tho
vcssni, imtit within tho bounds of prnetlC'
ability, which "gets there, first." should nl
ways bo tho winner. In comparing tho
ability of different men wo do not monsuro
tho skull's thickness and deduct a certain
amount accordingly; nor Is it necessary to
tnko Into serious consideration tho absorb
ing qualities of tho genus homo. The. man
who produces tho most valuable output is
the man who stands to win, and whether
bo has a big stomach or fat head makes
very little difference, Indeed,
Waiitp of Time nnd Money.
"I will sny," said Sir Thomas, in closing
our little discussion, "that thero Is no ques
tlon concerning the races that Interests me
more than that of a change of mattl, made
possible by a cl argo of the rules. Every
yachtsmaa who is Interested la Oils greatest
of sports should glvo tho matter considera
tion. Tho yacht Is a comparatively now
Invention, for ns we look backward wo find
few existing a couplo of generations slnco,
and none nt nil In tho days of tho colonies.
Tho development of both tho sailing vessel
and steamer has been so rapid and ho
fraught with tho mennlng of national de
velopment that too much consideration of
the subject ennnot bo had. It means more
than mere sport or a deslro to prove by
playful combat tho superiority of ono tin
tlon or the other."
Anyone who will tnko the trouble to look
up thy records of our own mnrltlmo de
velopment will see thnt this is so. How
many vessels have boon modelled after thai,
famous schooner America! I havo had the
pleasuro of owning nnd commanding moro
than one. It wns simply a typo that may
bo ngaln renewed for tho benefit of sea
followers generally.
Let us hope that tho day will soon nr-
rlvo when wo can again see many models of
our champion In uso both ai pleasure nnd
cargo craft, and theso nbsurd metal fins

PROPAGATING NEW FISH
Kx!prliurtit Vhrrrln Inventive Mnn
Set-kit to HrliiK About n Choline
of Nntnrr'n I.nwn.
OMAHA, Sept. 2. Editor Omaha Hoc
Newly Invented fishes. According to
Hen Aklba thoro Is nothing now under tho
sun: history only repeats itself, but we
doubt very much If men ever before tried
to dabble or Interfcro with tho laws of
nature, with such boldness ns has been
tried of lato by our modern scientists.
"From tlmo Immemorial It has been tho
aim of men to preserve, Improve nnd keep
from degeneration valuable and useful ani
mals, and this has led to tho most wonder
ful developments of nnlraal kind." Hut
only In Into years have scientists not nlono
tried to preserve, but they have gono a
step beyond that; they havo tried to
create, or rather to Invent, new specimens
of the animal kingdom, and theso experi
ments wero crowned with so much success
as to give us nn Insight ns to tho possi
bilities In this lino in tho future.
Thus, for instance, by hybridizing or
cros3-brccdlng two different kinds of fishes,
our fish culturlsts have succeeded In crenl
Ing entirely new species of the plscntorinl
tribe. Tho latest and successful trial re
sulted In creutlng a hybrid by tho cross
breeding of tho excellent and palatable
shad (Clupea Sapldlsslma), with tho striped
bass (Iloccus Llneafis). This newly
created animal, of which natural hlstorj
has nover spoken, Is not only oxtunt In a
few specimens kept In nn aquarium, but
It is nllvo and swims, and has been dis
tributed In several thousand specimens In
tho waters of the Susquchannn by tho
Havre do Ornco fish hatcheries.
Tbo result is watched with the greatest
anxiety. Tho 'success of this experiment
Is tho more remarkable, ns these two Kinus
of fishes belong to two entirely different
families. Tho shad belonging to tho
Clupoldo nnd tho bass to tho Serrnncldoo.
It could ns easily bo expected that a cross
between a tiger nnd n hippopotamus might
lay within tho scope of possibilities ns a
cruss between a spiny-rayed bass with a
soft-rayed shad, nut still tho experiment
has been successful and it was accom
plished in a very simple manner. Tho
Bpawn ot tho female shad was brought In
contnet with tho milt or spermntosua of tho
bass, nnd thus Impregnated, and nfter being
hatched out with tho usual mechanical, ap
paratus, they were in tlmo distributed In
tho waters of that vicinity.
A similar cross was obtained petwocn
tho shad nnd tho branch herring (Clupoi
Vcrnnlls). Unfortunately tho result has
not proved an Improvement over tho original
kinds, the now fish being tasteless nnci tun
of small bones, nnd not considered worthy
to havo a placo on tho menu of its creator
and Is only of value as a curiosity, nut
this docs not matter, it Is the opinion of
zoologists that tho cross-breeding of kinds
different from thoso two named will glvo
moro satisfactory results In the future
Tho main object In these experiments of
hybridizing of different kinds of fishes has
been crowned with success, and tho initia
tive has been taken, for futuro experiments
In this lino In all government hatcheries,
It Is also reported from California that
tho cross-breeding of brook trout with th9
salmon hns been successful, which it a
moro remarkable phenomenon on nccount of
tho difference In tho size of theso fishes, al
though scientifically of not so much valuo,
as both of these fishes belong to the samo
family, the Salmoncldoo, and is therefor
nothing abnormal.
As remarked before the artificial cross
breeding nf fishes Is only In Its experi
mental stage, but It has been demonttrnt)d
that It Is within tho scopo of possibilities
to hybridize n great many different kinds.
The next question Is, "Will they bo fertile?
'Will those hybrids be capable of repro
duction? Experiments made by the Gorman
scientist, Dr. Karl Knantbe, who hybri

theory Is correct, men will bo given th i
power to not only increase immenMurnhly
tho number of the Inhabitants of sen nnd

qulrements, Internal, ns well as exterral
structuro of the ilnny tribe. And If this
Is possible with fishes, why should It not
bo pceslblo with crustaceans nnd Lib r
denizens of tho deep? Perhaps tho day 's
not far distant when tho fresh wnt r
crayfish will bo cross-bred with tho ta t
water lobster; or tho oyster with tho
clam. What n prospect for the epicure!
Co in in e n tn of tin- Writer.
Although tho feasibility of cross-breeding
different kinds of fishes has already
been fully demonstrated by experiments, it
has so far been valueless, except ns n curi
osity. Hybrids havo n:ost nlways been
found to bo Inferior to tho parent fishes;
furthermore they hnvo shown to hnvo a
decided tendency toward n.nlformntlon, and
havo not ptovod to be a benefit commer
cially nnd economlcnlly. They are nlmost
Invariably barren nnd Incnpable of repro
duction If left to their natural state. The
carps, and possibly a few other genurn fur
nish an exception. Theso fishes will re
produce, especially tho two kinds mentioned
above. Either ono of thoso carps Is an
excellent fish, but when the two are cross
bred tho result Is of an entirely different
nature; the flush Is soft and tasteless and
full of small bones. Therefore In Germany
nnd other I arts of Europe great caro Is
tnken to keep each kind by Itself. It Is
raised there extensively. Thero nro carp
ponds in Austria comprising 20,000 ncres,
anil on account of Its rapid rato of growth
nnd Increase It Is considered thero tho most
vnlmblo kind, commercially. Hero no such
precaution is taken. They nro nllowed to
cross-breed promiscuously and an Inferior
fish, tho much despised German carp, Is
tho result.
It Is tho opinion of the writer that tho
hybridizing of fishes will never bo crowned
with that measure of success as to mako It
economically nnd commercially profitable.
Thero aro laws of nature which cannot bo
Ignored. Tho feasibility of cross-breeding
fishes has been established, but the experi
ence so far hns not been crowned with that
success as to mako it n benefit to mankind.
It Is tho theory of tho writer that better
results may be obtained nud of greater
benefit, If salt wntcr fishes could gradually
bo changed Into fresh water species. Thero
Is n field which offers fnr greater pros
pects of reward, and a greater field for ex
periments. What n glorious thing It would
