Tokio, Aug. 15.
According to the " Yamato," at agreement has been reached between the Aviation Bureau of the War Department and the~ Department of Agriculture and Commerce to utilize aeroplanes in home maritime waters.
The idea is for the aeroplanes to keep watch for a shval of fish, and report its location to the fishing agents ashore by means vf carrier pigeons, The authorities hope in this way to treble tha annual catch of herring, bonito and other fish that abound in Japanese waters.
This is the first attempt of the kind in Japan, and the experiment will be watched with keen attention on the part of fishing interests.—Reuter.
