ERIE STAT! HATCHERY
TO STOCK LAKE WITH
MILLIONS OF HSII
Prtpurations Under Way on Gi
gantic Scale for Hatching of
Es&s To Plant Many in
Canadian Waters
BIGGEST PLANT IN WORLD
ERIE, Pa., Oct 15. Pennsylvania
Jar Kent battery fUh hatchery, nocntcd at
this place, will In April, 1916. stork Lake
Erie with about 40,000,000 whlteflsh
na about 230,000,000 herring. Work
of hatching- these eggs will begin about
November 1. The hatchery at the present
time Is the scene of the greatest nctlvlty,
preparations to receive this vast amount
f eggs now going on.
doing dally from tho port of Krlo are
about TO steam fish-tugs. The hatchery
places one man on each tug, and by this
means gathers the herring esgs The
vrhlteflsh. eggs are obtained from the On
tario Gnmo and Fisheries Department,
with which department the local hatchery
exchange eggs. The Canadian waters
In tho vicinity of Port Dover are among
the best fields for whlteflsh. Many of
this variety of fish will be planted In
Canadian waters when hatched by the
local hatchery.
With the completion of the new fish
hatchery at this place In July, 1914, with
a capacity of DM,000,000 eggs annually, the
Krlo hatchery Is the largest battery
hatchery In the State. The plant has no
superior rn the I'nltcd States.
The building Is of brick and steel, meas
uring 60 by E0 feet. It Is two stories high,
with tile roof, and Is absolutely fireproof.
Externally tho building Is an archi
tectural credit to the State. The house is
lighted with electricity and heated by
steam; so that work may be done at night
as wellaa by day.
Finished In white, the interior of the
house Is -a thing of beauty. Flowers and
plants add materially to the appearance
of the interior As one enters he Is
struck by "the apparent size of the in
terior, with Its glistening white walls.
To the right are the batteries which
aro supplied with raw water from the
lake, the eggs of the fish not having
vitality enough to hatch In treated
water.
This battery contains 600 one-gallon
Jars In two tiers of six rows each. The
water In these Jafs Is kept In continual
motion. As the flsh are hatched they
pass from the Jars to the battery troughs
and thence into a large receiving tank.
From there they go through a set of
13 two-Inch pipes Into the 13 trypans on
tho opposite side of the hatchery. They
aro kept in these pans until ready to
be planted In the lake.
CAPACITY OF STATION.
Curing the hatching season it Is possi
ble to study tho process of Incubation
from the egg stage until the little fish
emerge ready to face life In the waters
of the lake. It Is possible to handle,
with the present facilities. 72.000,000 white
fish eggs of the largest size and 430,000,000
blue pike eggs of the smallest size.
In addition to these two varieties, lake
herring, wall-eyed pike, better known on
the lake shore as yellow pike, and yel
low perch are hatched at this station.
Everything from this hatchery Is
planted as soon as It Is hatched. In fact.
It would be Impossible to hold them, so
rapidly do the flsh emerge from the eggs.
There are times when they come out by
the millions In 24 hours. It would be
Impossible to supply the flsh with food,
even if It were known what food they re-
Hire.
-ommerclally. the department attend
ing to this work Is the most Important,
and while a great amount of Interest is
shown In It. the visitor Is, to a greater
extent, taken with the aquarium, main
tained on the second floor of the build
ing. There are 14 large aquariums,
wherein are displayed the native flsh of
Pennsylvania. Panels of foreign flsh have
been placed In the walls near these aqua
riums. In addition to tho large aqua
riums there are 12 sldewall and six
fountain displays.
LARGEST IN WORLD,
Aa the Ashing Industry Is one of the
largest in this city, the Erie Flsh Hatch
ery holds an important place In this com
munity. Erie is the largest fresh-water
flsh market in the world, 10,000 tons of
flsh being shipped from this port yearly.
At times the tugs will put into the port
with catches averaging 250 tons.
Although greatly hampered by lack of
funds, the local Btatlon has done consid
erable work In dredging a series of ponds
on Presque Isle Peninsula. To date two
miles of these ponds, which are the great
est natural spawning and rearing grounds
for flsh In the United States, have been
dredged. For the planting of tho flsh the
station uses the "Commodore Perry," the
State Fisheries Department tug. Phil II.
Uortman Is the superintendent In charge
of the local plant.
Thq Erie station planted 200,000,000 flsh
In local waters last season. When the
local house has an oversupply of eggs,
which Is often the case, the surplus Is
shipped to the stations at Union City or
to Philadelphia. When hatched, these
fish are shipped back to Erie and then
planted in the lake.

SIJIMER IN JERSEY
Accepts Invitation on Condition
That He Be Allowed to
Pay Rent of Home
WASHINGTON. Oct. IS -President Wil
son today accepted the Invitation of a
committee of prominent New Jersey
Democrats to spend his vacation next
summer In that state.
It was formally announced that the
mansion formerly owned by the late John
A McCall, near Long Drnnch, N. J
would be the "Summer White House" In
1916.
Representative Scully headed tho visit
ing delegation and delivered the Invita
tion speech. lie declared thnt the people
of Now Jersey, "having given tho nation
the greatest President It ever had, wants
him back with them a while."
In replying tho President said he would
gladly accept the Invitation with but one
reservation. He Insisted that ho be al
lowed to pay for renting the home. He
said he could not feel right otherwise.
Tho delegation had stated that tho peo
plo of New Jersey would pay for his
residence there.
The President laughingly told the dele
gation that they could assure Governor
Fielder that he wouldn't go near the
camp. He was referring to the National
Guard camp at Sea Girt. The members of
tho delegation smiled and the Joke was
explained later. Three years ago the
President uas at the National Guard
camp and while wearing a frock coat and
silk hat reviewed the troops on horse
back. Today ho said that he did not ob
ject to riding, but that he did object to
doing so while wearing tho attire he did
three years ago.
In, refusing to allow the delegation to
pay the rent of his home the President
suggested that If It was so desired he
thought the money raised for that pur
pose could be turned over to some char
ity. This met with the approval of
the committee, and It was thought that
this would bo done.
The McCall estate Is known as Shadow
Lawn. It Is one of the most Imposing
places along the New Jersey coast. Tho
grounds Burroundlng the house are quite
extensive and have been well kept.
Mrs. R. J. Wynne Dies in West
AVord was received today of the death
of Mrs. Robert J. Wynne, wife of former
Postmaster General Wynne, at Los An
geles. She was stricken on the street
while walking with her husband and died

of her death came as a great shock to
her friends In this city. Mr. Wynne
lived here for many years and had a
voting residence at Dooner's Hotel. He
maintained a summer home on the Main
Line, where he and Mrs. Wynne enter
tained extensively. Mr. Wynne was for
merly engaged in newspaper work, and
It was while In Washington that he met

CHESMJT TREE MAY
BECOME AS EXTINCT
AS THE DODO HERE
Blight Is More Injurious and
Widespread Than Usual,
Experts Say
LEATHER MEN WORRIED
Thr chestnut tree will be as extinct as
tho dodo In this vicinity with the next
decode At least, that Is the opinion
of foresters and experts on the subject,
who hnvo Watched the steady and devas
tating progress of the chestnut blight
since Its advent hero ten years ago They
say It Is just a trifle worse this fall
than It has been In the past; It has wid
ened Its scope of operations and Is kitt
ing one valuable tree after another.
The Increasing scarcity of the chest
nut Is also a cause of worry to the
leather men and to tho Industrial con
cerns using poles In their line of busi
ness. For the chestnut Is a fertile source
of tannin, used to give hides the color
desired, and Is also used extensively for
poles, timbers, shingles, bridges, general
construction work and sheathing In fact,
one-fifth of all the telegraph, telephone
and electric transmission poles In the
country were once chestnut trees.
Is there a remedy for the bllght7 For
esters think there Is. "The blight Is of Chi
nese origin, and the chestnut trree there
seems to be Immune to the disease," said
Samuel B. Detwller. superintendent of
the Pennsylvania Chestnut Tree Blight
Commission before lack of funds forced
It to. quit. "Therefore, If we can cross
the American chestnut with tho tree of
the Orient we should get . tree that
will successfully resist the ravages of
the blight.
"Now that the people have grown Used
to the blight, they don't seem to realize
what It Is doing and how far It has ac
tually gone In removing the chestnut from
this vicinity. These seems to be no pres
ent dlmunltlon sufficient to warrant the
belief that It Is likely to wear itself out
or that our trees will become sufficiently
resistant to ward off the attack prior to
the destruction of the trees themselves,"
Mr. Detwller, who has done active field
service In every section of the State, says
birds and Insects are only two ways of
spreading the little spores, so small In
size are they th'at several millions can
be held on the palm of the hand.
The commission determined that the
State of Pennsylvania had already suf
fered a financial loss of 170,000,000 by the
first of last year and this figure is be
ing steadily pushed toward the 1100,000,000
mark by the mlllons of' tiny spores, each

ono of Which does Its part toward rob
bing the State of timber and nuts.
Right here In Philadelphia nnd vicinity,
say the exports, the blight has a higher
percentage of Infection and n higher rate
of Increnso than In. any other portion
of the 8tate. The rato of Infection Jump
ed from 60 per tent. In 1910 to 88 per
cent In 1913, nnd how but a few solitary
trees In eastern Pennsylvania have with
stood the ravnge.1 of the blight.
As regard the method of eradicating a
spot Infection, Mr. Detwller urges tho
proper care of trees so that the blight
may not propagnte Itself more rapidly
than necessnrv. "The fungus, which Is
tho blight Itself, develops more readily
on dead wood than on live timber, so
that unpecled logs nVid barks and chips.
If left In tho woods, nre nlmost certain
to bo Infected. Tho ground should be
cleared away around the Infected tree
so that tho chips and branches may be
easily picked up. The stump should be
made as low as possible and sprouts
should be cut flush with the surface of
the stump and the tops burned. The tree
should then be felled and the stump
burned, so that no portion of the dis
eased part that remains should bo un
touched by the fire."
The fact that a chestnut Is diseased
docs not hinder Its vnlue commercially,
provided It Is cut before the wood is
dead. Investigations by railroad com
pnntos had proven beyond doubt that a
treo that Is felled before the fungus en
circles the treo and cuts oq the life of the
chstnut Is Just as good for poles and
shingles as a healthy specimen.

toany. juers ana telegrams were r.
celved by somo of tho Cabinet Ministers
from their constituents, in which they
were warned that political defeat would
be their fate unless they took radical '
steps.
Tho proposal that a British air fleetb
stationed In eostorn France to bombard
the German towns every tlmo Zeppelin,''
raided an English town met Instant ap. '
provnl In many quarters. Discussing this
phase today, Archibald Hurd, mnitarW
cxperx ot mo uniiy -i olograph, gala,
"It Is more than probable that tha'
Germans will have cause to wish that
Count Zeppelin never had been bom Of
all tho great continental cities Berlin it,'
owing to us geograpnical situation and
in conditions which we hope will aooa-
exist, one of tnoso most open to atuelc
from neighboring States. Germany la
time will suffer from the same agent aha
Is using today.
"There aro grounds for entertatnlm?
the expectation that by Christmas th
menace that Zeppelins offer London will
have been further restricted. The tifl
fcnslve and defcnslvo will then hs.v
been developed nlong adequate lines.
"If wo suffer today, Germany will uf.
fer tomorrow. Her ascendnnev in iv-
air on tho Continent has already dlatK,
nenxed. We tnnv look fnnvnr.1 tuiit, !
