FOR LAZY FISHERMEN. ‘The Fish Rings the fcli and the Angler Does the Rest. , “As lazy as a fisherman” is a proverb of general acceptance, but it is a safe bet that there are fishermen along the Hudson River who can grand discount the men about whom the proverb was first made, says the Oswego Times. These Hudson River men have a con- trivance by which they are spared the labor of holding the line as they sit on the river bank or on the end of a dock and fish for the festive tomcod and the succulent eel. In fact, they needn't sit at all if they don’t want to. They may lie down and go to sleep if they feel like it, and most of them do, And therein is their laziness superior to that of the ancient angler, who had to keep awake or lose his fish. Like most great inventions, this pro- moter of laziness is exceedingly simple. It consists of a pointed stick, a piece of whalebone and a bell. The bell 1s fast- ened to the whalebone, the whalebone is fastened to the stick, the stick is stuck firmly in the earth or in a crevice of the dock; the line is fastened to the whalebone near the top of the stick, and there you are. The angler baits his hook and throws over his line, and fhen settles himself for a nap. The foolish fish comes along, takes the bait, rings the bell, and announces that he is caught and wants to be taken up. , An angler new to this style of fishing. “who set his line and went to sleep beside it, thought when he got a bite that it was the breakfast bell at home and growled as he rolled over that he’d be darned if he'd get up. In rolling over he knocked the stick out of the crevice, and the fish darted away with bis line. .He awoke just enough to - ize that his tackle was disappearing, and as it went over the end of the dock he went after it. It took four men to fish him out, but be had the line with him, and the biggest eel that was caught that day. Thé White Horse of Lambourne. * In Berkshire, England, is situated a hill on the steep sides of which is the figure of a gigantic horse whose di- mensions are almost an acre in extent. The head, neck, body and tail of this wonderful figure consist of wide white lines, as does also each of its four legs. The outlines of this monstrous specl- men of the genus equinus are formed by cutting trenches in the chalk, of which the hill is mainly composed, the Gitches being from two to three feet deep and about ten feet in width. The chalk of the trenches being of a beau- tiful white and the surroundings the greenest of the green, makes the figure of the horse plainly discernible at a distance of about twelve miles. This is the, famous “White Horse of Lam- bourne.” }. The white horse is known to have been the standard of the Saxons and some have supposed that this monster emblematic figure was made by Hen- gist, ohne of the Saxon kings. Mr. Wise, an antiquarian whe has written much on the WhiteHorse of Berkshire, brings in several/arguments to prove that this figure: was made by or under orders from Alfred during the reign of Ethel- red, his brother, and that it is a monu- ment to a victory over the Danes in the year 871. Other well-known writ- ers are of the opinion that the cel brated White Horse is a natural freak —one of nature's oddest oddities. Ash- mead-Burrton thinks that the early tribes noticed that the outlines of the freak resembled a horse to a certain extent and that they worked it into its present shape; at least that they gave the outlines their present graceful sym- metry. However this may be, it has been the custom since time out of memory for the neighboring peasants to assemble on a certain day of each year, usually about’ midsummer, to clear away the weeds from around the White Horse and to trim the edges of the trenches 80 as to preserve the color and shape. This task is known all over England as “Scouring the White Horse.” Work of Volcanoes. Few people in this country imagine what terrible work a volcano of the regulation size can do when it once gets fully arou: In 1838 Cotapaxi threw its fiery rockets more than 3, feet above the crater, and in 1857, when the blazing mass confined in the same mountain was struggling for an outlet, it roared so loud that tae awful noise was heard for a distance of 600 miles. In 1797 the crater of Tungur- ague, one of the great peaks of the Andes, flung out torrents of mud and | lava which dammed up a great river, | opened new-lakes, besides making a deposit of seething mud, ashes and lava | 600 feet 4 over the whole area of a | valley whi was twenty miles long and averaged 1,000 feet in width. The stream of lava which flowed from Ve- suvius in)1837 and passed through the valley of Terre del Greco is estimated to have contained 333,000,000 cubic feet of solid matter. In 1760 Aetna poured out a fiood-of melted stones and ashes which covered eighty-four square miles of fertileveountry to a depth of from ten to fopty-feet. On this occasion the sand, scoria,lava, etc., from the burn- ing mountain formed Mt. Rosini, a peak two milés-in circumference and over 4,000 festshigh. In the*eruption of’ Vesuvius in the ‘year 79°A..D., the time of the destruc- tion of Pompeii, the scoria, ashes, sand ‘and lava vomited forth far exceeded the entire-dimensions of the volcano itself, while in 1660 Aetna disgorged lover twenty times its own mass. Ve- suvitis has sent its ashes into Syria, Egypt and Turkey. It hurled stones of 800 pounds weight to Pompeii, a dis- tance of six English miles, during the eruption of 79 A. D. Cotapaxi once | projected a block of stone containing lover 100 cubic yards a-distance of nine and a half miles. Qverworked Cabinet Wives. A woman, whose husband was in the Cabinet throughout an entire ad- ministration. has said that during the ffour*years that they were “in office” she spent nearly her entire time in cataloguing and returning her numer- ous visits. “Four or five days of every ‘week in the season,” she said, “I ac- tually .took my lunch in the carriage and started out at 12 o'clock in my endeaypr to catch up with my visiting. book before my next reception day brought a fresh batch of callers to overwhelm me. It was the most dis- piriting thing ima ble and was the hardest work I ever did. Something jought to be dome to relieve the wives of the Cabinet officers from such a burden.” Bconomy laughs at bard times. - oe AIRTIGHT STEAMSHIPS. A Curious Scheme to Save Vessels: From Loss by Sinking. An English mechanical genius has | devised a method -of indicating and | stopping a leak by the use of com- | pressed air. He divides a ship into airtight compartments fitted with doors | provided with packing material and connected by tubes with a room on deck, called the “switch-room.” In this room is a junction chest supplied with compressed air from fixed or portable compressors, and so arranged that the air can be delivered to any of the compartments. Other tubes lead from the compartment from which water can be forced out when requir- ed, and electric indicators are also connected with the switch-room to in- dicate the accumulation of water in any of the compartments. Should the vessel “spring a leak” the indicator will show which compartment is af- fected, so that the compressed air may be forced in to drive the water out. The invention also includes the means for indicating the position of a sunken ship, this being accomplished by means of a buoy connected to a coiled rope. ‘To refloat the vessel a diver can descend and connect the junction chest with the various com- partments, so that by supplying com- pressed air the water will be ejected and the vessel floated. Other objects of the invention are the prevention of fire and means for extinguishing the same, and also for ventilating the cargo. Presumptive Proof. Mr. James W. Clarke, in a paper on “Problems of Presumptive Proof” in the Atlantic, saows that circumstantial evdience is usually all that is available in the case of serious crimes: ever, to teach us the plain and simple truth that men do not commit crimes openly and in the light of day, but stealthily and in the darkness of con- cealment. The very root of the word ‘murder, taken from the old common law (murdrum), conveys the idea of concealment. A man about to forge | a note does not call his neighbor and | bid him watch the forgery. Neither does a man about to commit a murder | announce his intention either to the | proposed victim or any of his friends. Burglars are not accustomed to ring the front-door bell before picking the , lock of the back door, nor do they, as a rule, leave their photographs on the entered premises to assist in their pur- suit and identification. So that, until human nature is essentially changed, we may conclude with certainty that the overwhelming majority of criminals must either be punished upon indirect evidence or not at all; and the more enormous the crime and the more severe its punishment, the more cer- tain it will always be that proof of guilt, nine times out of ten, cannot be direct, and must be presumptive. “While the popular notion is that wrongful convictions on circumstantial evidence have been numerous, the records of the courts and the data af- forded by history point to the converse conclusion, and suggest more strongly the perils of what is called direct evi- dence. The most memorable miscar- riages of justice on record are not those in which circumstantial evidence and mere presumptions made thereon led to unjust verdicts, but those in which either direct evidence, or evi- dence which, though not absolutely direct, was apparently open to no sort of reasonable doubt, led to the con- viction and execution of men and Women who were afterwards shown to j have been entirely innocent of the | crimes which were so conclusively | brought home to them.” Burning Glass of Toe, A few years ago an English profes- sor caused quite a little excitement among a party of skaters on Serpen- tine River by making a lens of ice and lighting his pipe with it, says the Phil- | adelphia Press. This reminds the writer that this curious experiment was first brought | before the public by the great Dr. Scoresby, who, when in the polar re- gions, to the great astonishment of his companions, who did not understand why the ice did not freeze the solar rays, performed a similar feat. It may also be worthy of remark that Prof. Tyndall, when a teacher in the Royal Institute, on several occasions set fire to little heaps of powder with rays from an electric are concentrated by a lens of-ice. His explanation was is: Although ice absorbs rays of certain waves of light and is gradually melted thereby, there are other kinds of waves which it does not absorb, and it is these that produce heat at the focus of the bar of light which passes through the ice. | In short, it is wholly a question of the relative motions of the molecules of frozen water and those of the waves of the more penetrating rays of light. Ocean Greyhounds Left Behind, We land creatures are very proud |of ourselves. We think we are so ‘superior in every way to the creatures ; that dwell in the seas, and when we ‘discover that we can make a steam- | ship which, under favorable conditions, can travel from New York to Queens- town in a trifle under six days, we call that vessel an ocean greyhound. Why | we should give a greyhound the credit for all the speed in creation—among living things—is not quite clear to those who know something about whales. The whale is not only a creature of great strength, but he is one of the most rapid of moving things. He can go faster than a locomotive when he | gets his muscular steam up, as you will see for yourself when you realize | the fact that the whale moves through the water with a velocity which, if continued at the same rate, would en- able him to encircle the whole earth in less than fourteen days. Consider- ing this, one might properly ask, why | Ocean greyhounds? Why not “steam whales?”"—Philadelphia Press. ee ee Walking-Sticks for Women. | If you have not seen the new ladies’ walking-stick you will do so before jlong. The stick has the appearance ‘of an umbrella, rolled extremely tight | and slender to a degree. The handle, in ebony or light walnut, with a gold band, is convenient to hold, says the St. Louis Post-Despatch. Nothing, in- deed, could be s: ter. Many women who love walking with a support fore- go the pleasure because of the man- -nish look of the ordinary stick. The mock umbrella changes all this. It ,; has, moreover, the advantage of being as light as a feather. We may expect to see it before many days are passed. “It needs no brilliant jurist, how- | 8 ADA REHAN BOW-LEGGEDt Or why Do Women Giggle at Montana's Big Silver Statue of Justice, It has been frequently noticed by men who visited Montana’s exhibit at the World’s Fair since the silver statue of Justice was unveiled that whenever there was a party of women without escorts around the statue they invari- ably got to laughing at a great rate, as if they had made some great discovery, which was just too good to let the hor- rid men into the secret of. Yesterday, however, in an unguarded moment, one of these unconscious crit- ics let the cat out of the bag: There were four or five of them standing around the statue gazing at her classic pose, when one of them, who had been looking intently at the ankles of Justice for several minutes, suddenly burst out with: “Oh, girls, she’s bow- legged—just look!” There was a gathering of heads in one place, and a craning of necks and if trying to mentally follow the direc- tion taken by Justice’s ankle where it was lost under the folds of her toga. Then there was a unanimous nodding of heads and a great deal of giggling, as if the discovery constituted one of the rarest jokes ever heard of. A careful survey of the lines of Jus- tice’s right ankle confirms the criti- cisms passed upon her by the women. from the foot upon which it rests and the statue somewhere about three feet above the pedestal, and, if further pro- } jected, would strike the roof of the | Mines Building about 150 feet north of the point immediately over her head. ! The only possible way for her ankle to ! reach the main trunk of her body after starting out the direction it has is to | describe a sort of horseshoe bend some- | where about the knee joint—Chicago Inter-Ocean. Hond to Hand with a Grizzly. Ira Dodge, a hunter and trapper of this section, who on November 2, last year, had a bear fight that will be- | come historical, is back at Evanston, Wyo., from Salt Lake, where he has been under the treatment of an oculist, Says an exchange. At the end of the combat Dodge had a few more than one hundred wounds on his body. His only attendant for three months was his wife. She was a skilful and de- voted nurse, but could do nothing for the eye. Happily the use of this mem- ber has been restored. Dodge is lame yet, but is able to be about. Of his encounter with the bear he says: | “Early on the morning of November 2 I saw three grizzlies at the edge of the timber a mile from Green River. To get them all meant a big bagging, and I thought I could do it. I tied my horse and went after them. I knocked down one and then a second, but could not find the third. The two down bawled like calves getting branded. I returned to the first and threw an- other bullet behind his shoulder. He lay still until I was within ten feet of him. He rose and rushed at me. I threw my hat into his face and jumped back and gave him a shot. The shell from my last explosion stuck in my rifle. I dropped the gun and pulled my knife, for the bear was upon me. I drove the knife into him half a dozen times clear to the hilt, but he did not seem to mind it. He knocked the knife from my hand. Then I stuck my fist into his mouth and he nearly took off my arm. He was biting and scratch- ing me all over when I became un- conscious. I suppose he felt himself dying and crawled away to accept the end alone. They always do that if possible. When I came to again I crawled on my hands and knees to my horse. I was bleeding all over and al- ‘most naked. The horse smelled my blood and the blood of the bear. For the first time since I have had him he stood still for me to mount. He car- ried me twelve miles to my cabin, where Mrs. Dodge saved my life by nursing me. I am going back in a few Gays to get my rifle and see the dead ears. Ternyson’s Religion. John Addington Symonds, relating = conversation between Gladstone and ‘Tennyson, in his “Recollections” of the latter, records the laureate as saying of the incognizability of manner: “I cannot form the least notion of no use talking about atoms, extension, color, weight. I cannot penetrate the brick. But I have far more distinct ideas of God, of love and such emo- tions. “I can sympathize with God in my poor way. The human soul seems to | me always in some way—how, we do | not know—identical with God. That's the value of prayer. Prayer is like opening a sluice between the great ocean and our little channels.” Then of eternity and creation he said: “Huxley says we may have come from monkeys. That makes no difference to me. If it is God’s way of creation he sees the whole, past, present and future, as one.” Then of morality: “I cannot but think moral good is the crown of man. But what is it without immor- tality? Let us eat and drink, for to- morrow we die. If I knew the world were coming to an end in six hours would I give my money to a starving beggar? No; if I did not believe my- self immortal. The eternity of punishment is quite in- credible. Christ’s words were parables to suit the sense of the times.” Further of morality: “There are some young men who try to do away with morality. They. say, ‘We won’t be moral.’ Comte, I believe, and perhaps Mr. Grote, too, deny that immortality has anything to do with being moral.” Then from material to mioral difficul- ties: “Why do mosquitoes exist?

An Ambassador Advises His King to Make Peace Without Delay. When the British officer dined with Gen. Marion and found American: offi- cers and soldiers content with a meal of baked potatoes he thought it useless for England to undertake to conquer such, men. The following. incident proves that the Ambassador of Philip IIL. of Spain made a similar discovery in his intercourse with the Hollanders, says an exchange. Philip IIT. of Spain sent his Ambassa- dor to treat with the states of Holland about recognizing their independence. When the great man arrived he was shown into an ante-chamber and told that if he waited in that room he would see the members of the State pass by. The Ambassador waited very patient- ly, and seeing. none but a number of plainly dressed men carrying bundles in their hands or under their arms, which bundles contained their food and clothes—for many of these persons came from different parts of the State —he turned to his interpreter and asked him when the States would come. The man replied: “The persons whom you have this moment seen are the members of the State.” Upon hearing this the Ambassador lost no. time in writing to the Com- mander-in-Chief of the Spanish army to advise his royal master to make peace without delay, saying in explan- extending it in a straight line, the up- | ation: “T expected to have seen in the States a splendid appearance, but in- stead of that I saw only a parcel of plainly dressed men with very sensible faces, who came into the council with | their provisions in their hands. Their a brick. I don’t know what it is. It’s | parsimony will ruin the King, my mas- ter, in the course of the war if it is continued, for there is no fighting with people who can live upon a few pence a day and their nobles upon a shilling, and who will for nothing do everything that their country requires.” The King had the good sense to listen to this sage advice and agreed to treat with these Hollanders as an indepen- dent State, and thus put an end to the war. The Bunco Game. ‘The bunco steerer has as many tricks as:a mule, and what he doesn’t know isn’t worth knowing. His vxictims aren’t always green countrymen, either. The bunco steerer doesn’t confine himself to one line of operations. All is fish that comes to his net. He is willing to show gentlemen who have lost their way where there is a good hotel, and incidentally to put them on to.a square game. He works with the green goods men and brings them victims when the gambling dodge won’t work, and when a victim discloses amorous propensitjes he always knows a frail lady who will help to play the badger game upon him. The bunco steerer used to, be in the habit of greeting a stranger effusively as “Judge Smith, of Wayback.” In- formed with much dignity of his error, he passed the word to his pal, who presently went off with ’Squire Jones, of Goshtown, and told him a lot about the folks “to hum.” This doesn’t work now. The papers have printed the story so many times that the first renconter would awaken *Squire Jones’s suspicions. The present method is to get the names from the hotel registers by various devices of a number of visitors from rural districts and then to make a hasty study of their homes. Suppose a man comes from Swanton Centre, Vt. An air of verisimilitude can be given to a bald and uninterest- ing narrative by a study of the gazet- teer and map.. And when a man says: “Why, 'Squire Jones, how are you? Don’t remember me, I suppose. Saw you once at the Centre, but that was years ago. I’m from Franklin myself. Been here four years now,” it’s very convincing, especially when backed up by! some bit of State gossip, easily gleaned from the Boston, Springfield and Albany papers. And the ‘Squire who hesitates is lost. It is only in the case of the most transparently stupid visitor that the clumsy old device can be worked any longer. But by more subtle methods I’ve known even a city man of some experience to be taken in. Only the newspapers don’t print it! He never squeals! Pen Etching of the Pope. I found the Pope more spiritualized, with a personal radiance more be- nignant, less of a king and more of an apostle. A gentle benevolence, half afraid, it would seem, lurks in the curve of his lips and shows itself only in his smile and, at the same time, the straight, strong nose reveals the will— the unbending will, one that can wait. Leo XIII. resembles a saint in some cathedral window, but what attracts and rivets attention almost as much as his face are the hands—long, deli- cate, transparent hands, with contours of unrivaled purity—hands which seem, with their agate nails, offerings of precious ivory, laid upon a shrine. His voice has a far-away sound as if it had traveled to a distant country on the wings of prayer, and loved rather to soar towards heaven than to stoop to mortal ears. Nevertheless, in con- versation it returns from the Gregor- | ian monotone with a note in major “I have sometimes thought men of | sin might destroy their immortallay. | lieve that after God had made his | world the devil began and added some- thing.” “What do we do with old shoes that are left here?” said a shoe dealer, re- peating a customer’s question. “Well, There's a pile in the yard now waiting for the ash man to carry off. If, while it is there, any old bum wants to be shod. we send him out and let him take his pick. But I know one shoe store that keeps all its cast-offs for a col- lector. In fact, I’m not sure that he doesn’t pay a little something for them.

The middle-aged woman is the best friend that either the young or old can have. With the former she is com- panionable and. sympathetic, as her own youth is not so far behind her that she has no appreciation for the. senti- ment and sorrows of those just start- ing in life: To the old she represents the embodiment of sturdy common sense that has grown out of the follies of girlhood and is to them one who is competent to advise with judgment gained from actual experience. To sum it all up, she is as the fruit that is in its perfection, neither too green nor oyer-ripe. She is a woman schooled in the ways of the world and able to meet its storms as well ds its joys with.a sturdy independence that at the same time lacks not one dota of feminine grace and charm, and whether her role be that of wife, maid or. widow . she can, if she so wills it, be-more.at- than tractive in her full develo; CHEAP JOD PRINTING At the “BEE” Office, 1109 I Street, N.
