A. Naturaltist's Voyagings Among
Desert and Little Hawn Islands.
Perez; le Lowe has had an un-
usual experience, whieh lie d
eeribee in "A Naturalist on 1)ese
Islands," Air, Lowe is a, !nem
of the Britieh Ornithelogiste Union,
and epent six consecutive winters
voyaginz amortg the islands of the
Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of
Ztlexieo in search of scientific ma-
teriel The trips were maae in the
yacht a Sir Frederic johnstone,
The eueieus thiue about these de-
. 'slancle is that although they
are known geographically for pur-
poses of navigation, they are poli-
ticany arid cemmereially off the
map. They are lands primitive and
for the most part, uninhabited.
Here and there Mr. Lowe. found
a single family living in Robinson
Crusoe-like style on an island, On
others he found fishermen making
temporary homes during the fishing
seasons, and on still others, notab-
ly the Co,ymana, he discovered a
scanty population, the descendants
of shipwrecked- sailors.
Besides giving much information
of value to the naturaliat, Mr.
Lowe interest the general readee
with descriptions of his 'wanderings
through the wild and beautiful
scenery of these bits of the un-
known. In speaking of the zest for
primitive lands as he experienced
it on these islands, he says :
"The eharin lay rather in their
complete privacy and inaccesaibil-
ity, in the sease of 'exploraeion"
that one experienced while on
them; in the feeling that they be-
longed to no one but the birds and
animals upon them; that as far as
any one else was concerned one
could go on them where one liked,
when one liked, and how one
liked. One felt constantly inclined
to thank God that they were so
commercially insignificant and gen-
erally worthless that man had not
swooped down to 'improve' them
out of all recognition.
"One of then, at least, is a little
playground where grownup people
could go 'bird nesting' and feel
young again; where one could play
at 'desert islands' among the coral
reefs, lagoons and shady groves of
cocoanut, thatch pains and satin-
wood trees; where one could fish
or bathe the whole day long; where
one could forget the hurly burly,
the worries, and petty jealousies of
the world and be thankful that
there was still left at least one
little Tden where one could be
happy with simple things."
MARCHIONESS OF DUFFERIN.
Conditeting a Poultry Business on
a Business Basis.
The Marehioness ef Dafferin, who
will be remembered was a Miss
is of New York and oue ef the
les of Newport, has suddenly do-
ped a hobby which she means
turn to profit,
She bas -neve in for poultry farm-
,
and market gardening at lier
home in Ireland, and has found
some magnificent specimens of her
()esters in the poultry shops of
Dublin and many of the English
and Scotch towns.
Her gardening operations are
ill in tho embryonic stage, but by
uext spring she will be in eompeti-
tion some of the best experts
in vegetable, fruit, and flower cul-
ture in Ireland. Such, is her en-
thusiasm in this latter commotion
that she has extended her aetivi-
ties to hor London home.
' She had not been long in Ireland
before she Saw that poultry farm-
ing was a very neglected industry,
so she set about cultivating it. At
first she confined her enterprise to
providing poultry for the use of her
own household. Then she began
to supply some of her friends, as
occasion demanded, and finally the
surplus went to hospitals and simi-
lar institutions depending on -char-
ity. Now the enterprise is on a
sound business footing and one
more member of the aristocraty is
trading without any old time feeling
of loss of easte, thereby.

Disease Prevails in at Least 150
Municipalities.
A despatch iron" Montreal says:
There are at least 150 municipal-
ities of the Province of Quebec
where smallpox eases prevail, de-
clared Dr. Elzear Pelletier, secre-
tary of the Provincial Board of
Health, on -Thursday. In the Coun-
ty of Terrebonne it is very bad and
many municipalities have com-
plained to the board that they con-
sidered themselves threatened by
the •carelessness of the medical au-
therities of other towns. Com-
piaints have been especially num-
erous against St. Janvier, where.
it is alleged, the Council did not
do anything effective to restrain the
epidemic.

THE FISHERY TRADE.
Products for Year Reached a Total
Value of $29,905,433.
A despatch from Ottawa says:
The market valuo ef all kinds of
fish and fish products taken by Ca-
nadian fishermen during the fiscal
year ending March 31, 1911, was
$29,465,433, according to a report,
presented to Parliament on Friday.
The year's catch was thus more
valuable than the catch of any
previous year. To the total the
sea. fisheries contributed $26,122,-
596, and the inland fisheries $3,-
342,837. Nova Scotia leads' the
provinces in the value of the out-
put of its fisheries.' The products
of the fisheries of Ontario during
the year were valued at $2,026,121,
a decrease of $151,692 as compared
with the value of the preceding
year's catch. In the fishery indus-
try itself 65,610 men were employ-
ed, and in the allied industries 24,-
978. In all. $19,019,870 was invested
in the fishing industry in Canada in
1910-11. The expenditure in con-
nection with the fisheries was $760,-
734, of which $220,000 was spent for
fish breeding and $159,166 in boun-
ties. The total revenue from licen-
