Slippery Customers. -
Almost every variety of fish is slip-
pery and hard to hold when first
caught. This is due to a sort of muc-
ous exuded through the scales, and is
of the greatest importance -to all
slimy creatures.
One of the important functions of
tale fish's slimy coating is to protect
it from the attacks of fungus. a form
of plant life found . in all waters. If
the fish is so injured that some spot
becomes' uncovered by slime, a barely
visible fungus will be likely to lodge
there,, and when it is once lodged the
process of reproduction is very rapid.
It soon extends over the gills and kills
the fish. '
The primary purpose of the slime
of the fish is to reduce its friction
when in ;notion through the water, and
thereby increase its rate of speed. It
also serves as a cushion to the scales,
which -it thus protects from many in-
juries.

"The heaviest rush of applicants
is in the Western Provinces," said
I1/41.r. Black. "In one day alone,
1,035 returned men visited the Ed -
and the usual rur, at present there
is from 700 to 800 men a day. The
organization of the Board is being
heavily taxed to provide the required
service to meet this r ituation."
The majority c` those settled tc

fanners' sons, or rnen from the Old
Land, who have worked on farms it

"I had the . opportunity,," said Mr.
Black. "of meeting a few of those,
