The Australian Minister for Customs recently received the following from Mr. Dannevig, who ha<l reached Adelaide in the Federal trawler from ft cruise of the Australian Bight:—"Very successful trip. Caught fully four tons of marketable fish, including 13 specimens of o new edible spccies, from 201b. to 481b., at 170 fathoms." The new fish is something lilt? tcraglin, which is found on the New South Wales coast. Mr. Dannevig thinks that the whole 13 new varieties are deepwater fish. Somo that wore cookcd proved to be excellently suited to tho table. Groat interest . was manifested in Adelaide in tho trawler, and it is understood that several Adelaide gentlemen will ask the Government to bear sonic portion of the initial expense of working a private trawler as a commercial enterprise. A purchaser of a riverside property asked the estate agent if the river clidn't sometimes overflow its banks. "Well," replied he, "it isn't one bf those sicklv streams that are always confined to their beds."
