The most important discovery in
3 00:1 st fishing so far has been made by
Ethe fishermen off shore of Beaufort,
,\ \' ..C, ..nd them is 1eason to believe
) that them will be far r-eaching results
E obtained in the future through im-
9101911 methods of deep- -sea seining. In
two 111nte1 months of January
gcles; of fish disappear almost entirely
from the waters off our coast, and fish-
ermen are compelled to fold up their
seines, and wait until spring for the
reappearance of their favorite game.
Scientists have concluded that the
fishes go to some unknown region or
depths of the ocean to breed during
these two cold months, and upon their
return in the spring they are accompa-
nied by innumerable hosts of young
fry. The discovery off shore at Beau-
fort is nothing less than that of a win-
ter nursery of our littoral species of
From six to eight fathoms be-
low the surface of the water the fish
have been found to be
swarming in countless numbers, and
hooks and seines let down to that
depths invariably bring up rich hauls.
No amount of coaxing and temptation
ran induce the fish to leave their warm
winter habitat far below the surface,
and the fishermen have to adopt new
methods of catching them.
The discovery is important in modi-
fying our prevailing methods of catch
ng maiketable fooc fish, and in cheap-
ening the supply in hunter and in
furnishing the needy Workers with em~
ployment at an 0115 season when pov-
erty and hardship often press most se-
verely upon them.
The fish are found off Beaufort and
llorehead City in deep holes or corru-
gations. In the summer time they
come ashore further and swarm
;- - around the oyster beds and the bays
. . 11nd inlets.
A great variety of food
fish is found in this winter nursery,
such as the red drum, gray trout or
weak fish, spotted sea trout, bluefish,
I :ronkers and many others.
A new sort of seine has been used
it Beaufort. It is designed just for
this deep-water fishing. It closes up
11 the shape of a long, narrow eel pot
with a heavy weight at the lower end.
it dangles over the side of the fishing
imack by several ropes, which are ma-
iipulated‘either by the men or a tack—
e. When the lead reaches the
bottom the 'seine is allowed to rest
for some time, while the men spread
it open. This is done by means of
'opes. Four rowboats leave the smack
1nd each one pulls a rope attached to
1 corner of the seine. Thus it is
1pread out on the bottom of the sea di-
rectly under the flocks of sea fish.
[‘hen it is gradually hauled up. A
loop pocket in the bottom of the seine
's quickly filled with so many fish
chat they threaten to break through
the meshes by their very weight. In
each haul the fishermen bring up at
east 500 pounds of fish. ' '
The number of fish seem inexhausti—
119. When one hiding place is pretty
well cleaned out the fishermen hunt.
11'0und for another. The. bottom of
die sea off the coast is undulating,
forming deep hollows or holes in which
:he sea fish hide. They are never
.'ound on the ridges of the bottom, but
always in the hollows. Consequently
:he fishermen carry sounding leads
with them in searCh of a new hiding
nlace or winter nursery When the
water is six to eight fathoms' deep ,
:hey drop ‘the net, and leave .it there
for a short time before hauling it up.
[f they strike it rich, they haul it up
1nd let it down until their boat is
oaded. '
"The fact being established that the
ish merely sink to a good depth off the
toast in winter instead of mi-
grating to some tropical sea, the ques-
1i0n of discovering the hiding place of
other species becomes interesting. It
s thought that the same sort of fish-
ng may be applied to the codfish off
.ihe Newfoundland banks, and to the
cd snappers off the Florida coast. It
zhe winter habitat of these fish is not
:00 deep, they may be caught right
:hrough cold weather with properly
:onstructed seines. It is believed now
ghat countless millions of shad, sal-
111011 herring, striped bass and other
inadiomons fish are hidden away in
he. fields of the ocean a short distance
off our coast, and that only a small
961‘ cent.,of them enter our rivers to
pawn in a given season. In fact, if
one-hundredth of all that are' in the
ocean , should make a simulta-
neous movement in 'this direction
they would completely choke up
every river in 'the country. Hence,
it is quite important that their
winter hiding place should be discov-
ered. In the nets ofl .Beaufort an oc-
.'asional striped bass, bluefish, salmon,
'.lClTlllg‘ and shad have been caught,
lemonsnating that they are aground
101. lowlieié in the deep corrugations of
:he' oceans bottom. The man who
iiscovers their winter hiding place will

portance to the country—Cor. St.

TO PREVENT ”KNOCKING DOWN."
How Street Car Fares Are Collected in
Toronto.
Of the many devices employed by
street railway companies to compel
conductors to turn in all the fares
which they collect the self-registering
clock, operated by a ford, is the. great
favorite. ' One offrhe least known
oicces of apparatuslised for the same
purpose is in service on the trolley
2211's in Toronto. The conductors there
are permitted to change a bill or coin,
and to sell a bunch of tickets, but not
‘.0 receive into their hands the fare it-
self. Instead they are required to ex-
tend toward the passenger an odd-100k-
lng metallic receptacle into which he
or she thrusts the money 01' ticket.
This collection-box is shaped some-
thing like a pint pitcher 01' syrup cup,
without a spout. The only visible
opening is through a narrow chamber
which suimounts the cover. A slot,
lust long and wide enough to admita
Canadian dime or half- dime or a ticket,
pierces the top of this chamber, which
serves as an ante-room to the main

reservoir below.
'ng made his deposit, the conductor in-
spects it through the glass sides of the
small compartment in which it tem-
porarily reposes, and then, if satisfied,
he presses a button and thereby dumps
the fare into the larger box un-
derneath. A side door, unlocked only
by some representative of the financial
department of the company, at the
close of the day’s service, provides for
the eventual authorized removal of the
zontents.
A BAD TRAP FOR BURGLARS.
Horrible Devices for the Punishment of
' safe Breakers.
Applications have been made to the
Patent Oifice in Washington for the
protection of three inventions to dis-
couiage burglary and mom especially
train 1"obbe1y. They provide punish-
ments compared with which the tor-
tures of the Inquisition were more pas~
times.
The penalties are electrical. Those
who make use of them may choose be-
tween scalding a burglar 1:0 death. fill-
ing him full of lead, or merely shock-
ing him into unconsciousness, if it is
not desired to execute him by machin-
cry.
The best device is quite original. It
provides for a kind of trap-door di-
rectly in want of a safe. placed in
such a position that it will be impossi-
ble for the burglar to reach the safe
unless he steps upon it. . Directly he
touches this trap the robber will be en-
veloped in hissing blistering steam.
The purely electrical protector is.
more interesting. It can be adjusted
so that it will paralyze maim 01' kill, ~
as is desired. A powerful electric bat—
tery is connected with the safe. In
front of the safe is a steel mat. When
the thief stands on the mat and
touches the knob or any part of the
safe he will receive a shock that will
put an end to his energy —\ew York

. HELD'PRISONER BY‘A LION.
Remarkable Experience of aKamr with
the King of Beasts. '
An interesting tale come from Man
sl'onalnud in which a lion and a
Kathi- figure. Thestory is vouched
for by Dr. Rl Brown, well-known
writer on South African topics. The
Kallir was visiting come friends at a
distance, and was horrified while
resting near a small pool« to see a large
lion watching him from the other side.
Unfortunately the man had laid his
loaded gun beyond his reach, and at
Sign of reaching for it the lion roared
menacingly.
The situation now became extremely
painful—if not for the lion, at least for
the man. for, putting aside the immi-
nent prospect of being devotred. the
rock‘on which he sat, exposed to the
glare of an African sun, was :0 hot
that he could scarcely bear '10 touch
it with his naked feet. But the en-
emy was inexorable. Any exhibition
of an intention to seize the weapon
was followed by a warning roar, so
that the man had all day long to
temper the almost intolerable heat of
the rock by planting one foot on an-
other, until by evening both feet were
so wasted that he had lost any sense
of peril.
The lion seemed to have only recent-
ly dined. Otherwise it is extremely
unlikely it would have displayed such
tolerance to its helpless vis-a-vis. At
noon it walked to the pool to drink,
looking around every few steps to
watch the Kaffir, and when he reached
for his gun it turned in rage and was
on the point of p'ouncing upon him.
Then. quenching its thirst, the vigi-
lant brute came back to his old post.
Another night passed, but whether
the Kaflir slept or not he could not
tell. All he knew was that it must
have been at very short intervals, and
with his eyes open, for he always saw
the lion at his feet.
The next forenoon the animal went
again to the water, and, while there,
apparently heard some noise in an
opposite quarter, and disappeared in
the bush. 'lnc man now made an ef-
fort to seize his gun, but, on attempt-
ing to rise, he fell, his ankles being ap-
parently without power. However, he
got the musket and crept t0 the pond
to drink, determined, if the lion re-
turned, to discharge the contents of
his weapon into it; but it did not ap-
pear.
Then, unable to walk, with his toes
roasted by the sun and the hot rock
and his legs flayed by the sharp-edged
grass, he crawled along the nearest
path on his hands and knees-0n the
chance of some traveler passmg that
way. This hope seemed destined to
dissapointmcnt, when a countryman
came up and took the famished and
crippled Kafiir to a place of safety,
where he recovered, though he was
lame for life—New York Journal.
“0111'. of Sorts.”
Many common expressions are of le-
git‘mate paientage, although most
people believe that they sp1ing up like
Topsy. The printing craft, for in-
stance, originated several very popu-
lar sayings. Take the case of a man
who is “out of sorts.” In a hand-com—
position printing ofi‘ice the word
“sorts” applies to the letters and
marks which should be in the type
case, but which are frequently missing.
A man who, in the days before the
coming of linotype machines, found his
“e” box barren or his comma box
desolate and bankrupt was said to be
out of those pa1ticular sorts“ By his
profanity the calamity was made
known, and by his impatient remarks
to this day is the man who is out of
sorts known. whether he is a banker
or. a policei 111.211.
I heard Mi. Moody say the other day
that a lady had come to him, asking
how she might be delivered from the
habit of exaggeration, to which she
was prone. “Call it lying, madam,”
was the uncompromising answer, “and
deal with it as you would with any
other temptation of the devil.”——Rev.

An old colonial soldier lvingI in a.
hospital improvised fox thcoccasion af-
ter the battle of Smatcga, was palient—
1y waiting until his time came for ex-
amination. When the physicians sur-
rounded hi's humble pallet to probe for
abullet in his chest, he opened his
shirt bosom. shut his eyes and said,
“I’m ready.” Neither groan, sigh or
cry escaped him, but as the probe
reached the piece of lead he opened
his eyes and said: “Doctor, an inch
deeper and you will find General Wash-
ington. ”, In the RevolutiOn and Civil
War the American soldier withstood
hardships that almost equalled thoSe
when Napoleon retreated f1 om Moscow, '
and 811 John Moore retired to Corr una.

Where Girls Are Taught to Play and to
Become Physically Perfect.
Situated in the midst of a thick-
spreading wood, about two miles from
the pretty little Kentish village of '
Dartford Heath. is one of the most re—
markable educational establishments
!n the world. It is essentially a'ladies‘
college, no “male creatures” being 3.1-»
lowed within its sacred precincts, ex-
cept at certain stated and rare inter-
vals. But this is not all. The point
is that it differs from all other girls’
schools. in that its pupils are taught,
not the best way to work, but the best
way to play.
The idea is to train up women who
shall be physically per,fect and to this
and everything else is subordinated.
For instance, there are anatomical
elusscs, that the students may know
which muscles are brought into play
11 walking. driving, swimming, etc.;
tosses in hygiene, that they may learn
what kind of food to eat and what to
weld. But. the be-all and the end-
ill of the whole curriculum is the at-
:ahnncnt for women of that “sound
11nd in :1 sound body,” which is justly
esteemed so essential to men’s well-
being.
The founder and principal of this .2
unique college is Mme. Bergman Os-
lerberg, aSwedish lady, who'is rightly
vegardcd as the foremost living author-
ty upon physical culture for women.
The foundation of the physical cul-
ture taught at the college to the thirty
11' forty “sweet girl graduates" there
issembled is Ling’s Swedish systemof
gymnastics. By constant practice. in
1 series of beautiful and rhythmical
movements, .the whole body is made
lissome and 'strong. Then, as soon as
the pupil is “fit," all. kinds of games
are indulged in. . Cricket, hockey, ten-
nis. croquet, jumping and vaulting,
racing, cycling and almost every other
form of sport is pursued, with an ea-
gerness and an anxious desire to excel
such as would put to shame the boys
if many of our public schools. Swim-
ming is also part of the regular col-
lege course, a natural swimming-bath
being formed out of a private part of
the River Darenth, just where it runs
through and is dammed up in an old,
:eciuded and romantic garden.
The college is intended mainly for
the training of lady teachers of gym-
castles, but there are many pupils, the
daughters of wealthy people, who are
undergoing the course for their
110.1lt11’s sake. A girl goes to the train-1
ing college pale, anaemic and listless,
aInd in the cou1se of a few months is
ransformed into a rosy, healthy
"'w'oinan, 'fit to “go anywhere and do
anything. ”
Between eighteen and thirty is the
usual age of admission, but the closer
.andidatcs approach the former age
the better. Before apupil’s name is
placed 6b the books she has to submit
to a medical examination, in order to
make sure there is no organic disease
present; and she must also certifv her
