KIDNAPPED BY A TARPON.
*fce Aimlut of • Small Boy Who Wont
Fishing la a LoallbUk Bayou.
The little son .of the agent of the
Southern Pacific Company, stationed at
Bayou des Allemands, had an adventure
the other day while fishing for the gay
and ever-bltlng catfish, says New
Orleans Times-Unlon. The little fellow
was out In the river In a flat-bottomed
boat, and while handling his line sud
denly became aware that something out
of the ordinary was at the other end
of It. The line, which he was holding
rather slackly, became apparently alive,
and in a moment was whizzing through
his fingers as if Old Nick himself was
on the hoek. The boy endeavored to
stay Its outward flight, but to no pur
pose, and he had the satisfaction of
seeing the end reached In quick order.
Fortunately for the remainder of the
story, the end was securely fastened to
the boat, and as the line tautened out
the little craft began a series of
manoeuvres on the surface of the river,
and the boy, becoming alarmed at the
unusual occurrence, yelled for assist
ance. The craft went on with the flood:
In the one end the boy, on the other a
powerful something or another, which,
content with giving a sample of Its
skill as a head-on propeller, kept Its
bulk hidden beneath the water. And
still the boy kept on yelling, and the
boat a-going, until several men on the
bank of the bayou, hearing the cries,
embarked In a skiff, and armed with a
steel harpoon—they had been there be
fore—‘started for the boy and the boat
and the something another, still under
the water, but occasionally breaking the
surface as If It wanted to fly. When
the rescuers reached the flying oraft
one of them seized the tautened fish
line, sententtously remarking, “Grande
Bcallle,’’ began to shorten In, and In
about five minutes of hard work had
brought the capture alongside, where It
began cavorting and plunging, throwing
the water in clouds. Another of the
men, seizing the harpoon, watched an
opportunity, and In a few minutes more
darted the steel Into the gleaming sides
of the fish, for such It was. When the
bank was reached the capture was
taken ashore. It proved to be a
splendid specimen of the tarpon, and
measured over six feet In length. Its
scales being larger than a silver dollar,
and gleaming with a silver lustre and
flecked with a multitude of other colors.
BOILER RUST.
Best Means of Preventing Phis Danger
ous Condition.
Some of the best means of preventing
the internal rusting of boilers, as lately
pointed out by a German authority on
the subject, are—while the boiler Is
working—first, removing air from the
feed water before It enters the boiler;
second, removing air from the water
while in the boiler, and preventing Its
accumulation In pockets, etc.; third, ad
dition of chemicals to the feed water
before It enters; fourth, protective coat
ings applied to the Inside of the shell.
While the boiler is standing idle resort
may be had to the following: First, re
moving all moisture from the boiler,
either by blowing It off while hot, or by
producing an air current through It, or
by placing hygroscopic bodies Inside;
second, direct protection of the shells
by painting with tar, varnish, etc., by
covering with protective paints and
such an alkaline coating as the milk of
lime; third, protecting the shells from
the varying temperatures by keeping
the draught in the flues constant, thus
preventing moisture being alternately
deposited and evaporated on the shell;
and fourth, protecting the shell by com
pletely filling the boiler with water
from which all air has been expelled. It
Is of decided advantage that the feeding
should be complete before the with
drawal ceases for a day. In order that
the water left standing in the bailer
over night may be as free from air as
possible; an efficient circulation is also
to be considered among the means of
preventing rusting, as It hinders the
formation of air bubbles on the shell,
which, if they remain clinging to It,
cause rusting. Faulty construction Is,
however, more often the cause of Inter
nal rusting than are unfavorable condi
tions of making.
EXPLORATION IN CANADA.
The Almost' Unknown Region Booth of
Hudson Bay.
The Immense stretch of country ex
tending from the height of land at
the head waters of the Ottawa to James’
Bay Is at last to be explored. Dr. Robert
Bell of the Geological Survey will leave
In a few days, and will be away all sum
mer, says a Quebec special. No survey
has ever been made of this country,
vast as It is, though valuable explora
tions were made last year in much high
er latitudes In the Interior of Labrador.
The country is known only to the In
dians and to the French-Canadlan trap
pers for the Hudson Bay company. who
obtain from it great wealth of pelts.
Apart from these the resources of the
country are entirely unknown, so that
Interesting discoveries may be looked
for on Dr. Bell’s return next autumn.
Some years ago Dr. Bell penetrated
sixty miles over the height of land in
this country, and there he found a river
Which he has reason to believe Is a tri
butary of a larger one flowing Into
James’ Bay. He does not, therefore,
anticipate that he will experience much
difficulty In forcing his way overland
by different waterways to James' Bay.
A New Loom picker.
Some important advantages are
claimed for a newly-devised loom picker
lately brought forward, which consists
of a light malleable iron shell or frame,
possessing the strength and durability
essential to this important feature of
weaving machinery. The body being
one rigid piece of metal, there is no tear
ing out of rivets around the eye, or
bursting of the portion which slides
along the spindles; the rawhide bushing
in the sleeves cannot come loose, and It
wears very slowly, and, on its giving
out, can be renewed at small cost and
with slight trouble—so, too, with the
cushion. With each replacement of any
bit of rawhide, one has a picker as good
as new, while under the old system a
single defect necessitates the throwing
aside the whole picker. The additional
weight does not exceed two ounces, too
small to perceptibly affect the working
of the loom; and, in order to secure
lightness, the eye of the picker is made
much larger than ' is required, and
bridged with a rawhide strip, copper
riveted to the metal.
NOTHINQ ESCAPES.
Th* Brlareus-Uk* Clutches of French
Tuatlon.
The New York World says: How to
tax the people sufficiently to meet the
governmental and military expenses,
without burdening them beyond their
power of endurance, Is a task which
gives sleepless nights to the statesmen
and lawmakers of every nation In Eu
rope, and Is the cause of countless bitter
discussions In the various parliament
ary bodies of the old world. The French
Senate and Chamber of Deputies have
Anally finished their tinkering with the
budget, and the members have gone
home to rest. The result of their labors
Is set forth In a recently published re
port addressed to the Minister of the In
terior, in which there are some curious
statistics. The tax on dogs brings In 8,
#00,000 francs, and IS Imposed on 2,847,000
canines of all breed and conditions, from
the two Chinese edthle dogs owned by
Walbeck-Rosseau the statesman—which
are the only ones on the continent of
Europe—down to the swarms of dogs
without pedigrees which are among the
highest prized possessions of the poor In
Southern France as well as elsewhere In
the world. The tax on clubs aggregate
1.440.000 francs, which are divided among
about 5,000 such organizations, made up
of 283,400 members. Billiards and check
ers are enormously popular games In
France, and the 94,000 places where the
former diversion may be enjoyed put 1,
100.000 francs Into the governmental cof
fers. Checker playing Is not taxed,
though attempts have been made to ren
der that game a source of revenue. The
quarter of a million bicycles In France
pay the State nearly 2,000,000 francs In
taxes. Two hundred and ninety-nine
out of the 2,000,000 wheels, however, are
growing rusty In the rooms of "ma
tante," the Mont de Plete. Here, by the
way, seems to be a new and unfilled lit
erary field. Several touching poems
have been written regarding the sor
rows of Arabs, elderly ladies and other
people when forced to sell a beloved
horse, but no one has yet portrayed In
verse the bitter pangs an ardent cyclist
feels when lack of cash forces him to
deposit his wheel as collateral security
for a loan. Finally, the tax on horses
and vehicles Is an annual resource of
16,000,000 francs. There are 1,156,000
horses, 363,180 carriages which go on
four wheels, and 1,068,130 which roll
upon two.
DEVELOPING PRINTS,
New and Interesting: Method of Doing
the Work Lately Discovered.
A valuable paper has been read before
the photographic section of the Ameri
can Institute by H. J. Newton, explain
ing a new and Interesting method of
developing photographic prints on
paper with coal tar products in alka
line solutions. He expresses the belief,
from observation and the investigations
he has made, that prints resulting by
development from bromide of silver are
absolutely permanent. The bromide
paper was first made In Europe, and the
first prints were on Imported paper.
An Important consideration, of course.
Is the keeping quality of such paper be
fore using as well as after; and as to
this the statement is made that sam
ples have been kept some three years
and a half without any sign of deteri
oration being exhibited, the manufact
urers also declaring that the material
when five years old is as good as when
first made. Different alkalies do not
perform or produce a uniform effect on
paper manufactured at different estab
lishments. Again, the carbonates pro
duce a browner black than the caustic
alkalies. But the beauty of a print will,
after all, depend to a certain extent
upon the bromide in the developer—par
ticularly noticeable being the effect of
an addition of bromide of soda to the
developer.
METALLIC YARN.
Carpets Now Uelng Made by Aid of Such
Material.
The durability of carpets Is now made
greater, It is said, by the introduction
of metallic yarns In the fabric, greater
strength being thus assured than by the
simple use of yarns made from animal
or vegetable fibres, the Idea being, brief
ly, the foundation of a metal coating on
an inferior surface, and weaving the
strands In certain proportions. A non
oxldlzable metal Is employed, and this is
dissolved and applied to the surfaces of
threads, rendering them like metal in
appearance and general characteristics;
the metallic composition Is said to con
sist of aluminum, borax, alum, litharge
and wax, these, combined with white
lead and one or two other substances,
producing a metallic coating that Is flex
ible and soft as common paint would be,
yet to all appearances the covering is
similar to metal, very much resembling
aluminum. Various substances are
adapted for the core or body of the
thread, such as wood, pulp, jute, cotton,
flax, etc., and the metallic coating is
applied to the yarns automatically, the
device for this purpose consisting of a
chamber In which the Ingredients are
placed and through which the yarns are
drawn, the coating adhering to the sur
face of the threads.
Nsptlia for Scouring:.
The employment of naphtha as a
cleansing substance In the scouring of
wool Is a new method favorably com
mented upon by the scientific papers.
By the use of a pump the naphtha Is
forced through and through the wool
extracting all the natural oil, it being
also claimed that the naphtha does not
injure the fibre of the wool, as does
alkali cleansing, but leaves the fleece
In an actually better condition than
when cleansed by any other process. A
further valuable feature mentioned of
this method is that the greece that is.
extracted from the wool In a pure state,
thereby becoming valuable as a medic
inal agent or for a saponification into
the purest of soaps. A plant following
this method is said to have scoured 500,
000 pounds of wool and had saved a
product of 80,000 pounds in pure wool
oil.
Pump or Drown.
The Dutch are not fond of lazy peo
ple, and they have a very good way of
curing persons who can but won’t work.
If a pauper who is able to work refuses
to do so, they put him In a cistern to
which a pump is attached, and turn on
a Btream of water. This stream flows
In the cistern Just low enough to enable
the lazy person by lively pumping to
keep the water from getting up over his
head.
ROOKY MOUNTAIN BIO-HORN.
U Th But on of ThaM Ton May Call
Yourself a Sportsman.
At laat wa have reached that gallant
fellow, the mountain sheep or big-horn.
A true aliff-dweller la he. Born under
the shelving rocks of a beetling cliff,
sometimes actually cradled in the enow,
and reared In the stormy atmosphere
of high altitudes, he Is a typical moun
taineer. Wherever you And him at
home, depend upon It that you will also
And the Anest scenery of the district.
This animal loves a blrds-eye view of a
mountain landscape as well as does any
member of the geological survey. A
steep descent, with a narrow, level val
ley and a thread-like river spread like
a relief map three thousand feet before
him, Is his delight. In ta£mer times he
was venturesome, and often wandered
miles away from his mountain home to
explore tempting tracts of bad lands;
and, being unmolested, he sometimes
took up a permanent reeidence In such
places. But the venturesome Inhab
itants of low, Isolated mountains and
shelterless bad lands have paid with
their Uvea for their pioneering, and now
a mountain sheep Is rarely found else
where than amid mountains worthy of
the name. Kill one Ane old mountain
ram by your own efforts In climbing and
stalking, and we will call you a sports
man, with a oapttal 8—provided you
save his head for mounting, and hll
Aesh for the platter. But no ewes, mind
you! Ewes and lambs count against
you, rather than to your credit. Can I
ever forget how I once traveled all the
way from Washington to Wyoming,
killed just one superb mountain ram
amidst grand scenery preserved him,
.carried his "saddle” to Washington,
and called my pleasure trip a complete
success? Hardly. Even the recollec
tion of It Is worth four tlnies the money
It cost. That particular mountain sheep
stood four feet three Inches in height at
the shoulders. He was four feet ten
Inches In length of head and body, and
his girth was three feet eight lnohes.
He leaped off a low ridge of bare rock,
fell dead on a foot of snow In the head
of a rock-walled guloh, and oh! boys,
how Ane he was! Up In the mountain
park he had been pawing through the
snow to get at the spears of dry grass
that were there obtainable; and in spite
of the difficulty of the process, and the
pitiful scantiness of the graxlng, I was
astonished beyond measure at Andlng
that his stomach contained fully half a
bushel of that same grass. He was not
only In good Aesh, but positively fat;
and from the fact that to save our lives
Fleming, the packer, and I, both muscu
lar men, could not lgt him upon a mule
to carry him to our camp, and for other
reasons X am eertaln that he weighed
at least three' hundred pounds.
GOOD STORY TOLD ON CHOATE
Xoted Lawyer Win* tha Reaped of HU
Jewish Coadjutor.
Dwight Lawrence, librarian of the
senate, was down from Albany yeeter
day, says the New York Sun, and this
Is his latest anecdote:
Joseph H. Choate and Edward Lau
terbach were associated in a suit a short
time ago and won. As the Jury left
their seats Mr. Lauterbach turned to
Mr. Choate and said:
“Choate, we won this verdict because
we happened to know more law on this
subject than our adversaries."
"Yes?” queried Choate.
"Our clients are rich, you know, a
corporation and all that,” rejoined Lau
terbach.
“Yes?” again queried Choate. “What
do you think we ought to charge, Lau
terbach?”
“•h, $750 apiece.”
“Tut, tut,” broke out Choate, Impa
tiently, and he repeated: “Tut, tut! You
let me handle this bill, Lauterbach. X‘11
collect for us both.”
A short time afterward Mr. Lauter
bach was in Mr. Choate's office in Wall
street, and Mr. Choate handed out a
check for $1,500 as Mr. Lauterbach's
fee in the case, and said:
“Lauterbach, what do you think of
that?”
Mr. Lauterbach looked at the check,
stroked his beard for an instant, and
looking intently at Choate, replied:
“Almost thou persuadect me to be a
Christian.”
THE MICROPHONE.
They Have a Natural One In Texas
Which Beat* the Eastern One.
A man from Texas aat in the Hotel
Brunswick yesterday and told three
lies—told them deliberately, says New
York Press. He was not an Ochiltree,
either. One of them may be worth read
ing. Said he:
• “You’ve got your new-fangled micro
phone at work, I see, but I Just want
to tell you folk up here that we have
a natural one down In Texas that beats
it all hollow. I reckon he’s about 12
years old now. He’s got two ears—
one big and one little. With the big
ear he can hear the rumbling of a storm
100 miles away. He beats the weather
bureau predicting rain. He hears every
year the song of Miriam after Moses
and his friends crossed the Dead sea.
He has heard the booming of the guns
at the battle of Waterloo, and even re
ports word for word the orders of Na
poleon on that occasion. No sound that
ever started the air to vibrating Is lost
on him. If he happens to get in the line
of excitation. With his little ear he
can hear the faintest sounds on earth.
He can hear a fly walking on a window
pane, or flying through the air. He
can hear a flea hop, or a spider weaving
her web. On a dark night he can hear
a flsh swimming. I have known him to
hear night coming on and settle down.
He never heard the moon rise, but there
are good reasons, I am tqld, for that.
I am hera to get Barnum to give him
a place in his freak show.”
The Mountain Goat a Stupid Animal.
Although the mountain goat Is a very
sure-footed and level-headed animal, he
Is said by those who have hunted him
(of whom I confess I am not one) to be
a very stupid animal and easily killed
when once the hunter reaches hts
haunts, says a recent writer. In actual
weight he Is about the size of the Vir
ginia deer, but in bulk he seems to be
larger because of his shaggy fleece of
wool and hair. The horns are small,
smooth and jet black, and the hoof is
a strange combination of rubber pad on
; the inside and knife-edge on the out
| side, to hold the owner on snow, toe, or
bare rock without slipping.
LIGHTS SHOWN BY FISH,
Of. Itont Inman** Surprising Uliooiwy
nml th* Rim pin explanation.
Dr. nomtlemnn was at Lako Den*
..ark, N. J„ a few days ago studying
;hc fauna ami llnra of that wild and
joautlful section of Morris county.
While strolling around the ahallow
dioio of the lake on Sunday evening he
ll>;covered a marvelous thlrtg which
nndo his blood Untie with hope that ha
was about to add to the lchtholotcal
knowledge of the country, says Npw
York Sun. He saw In the clear water
near the shore some bright objects flash
ing with phosphorescent lire, The doc
tor knew of phosphorescent flHh In salt
water, and was aware also that noth
ing of the kind had ever been noted as
Inlmbltlng fresh water. Consequently
he believed that he had discovered a new
spectre, and he made haste to get his
minnow net and capture one of the live
ly little creatures. It was no easy mat
ter to do this, but after trying for an
hour he succeeded In catching two of
the flsh In one scoop of the net. De
lighted with his great luck, he hur
ried to the house and examined his
prizes by the light of a kerosene lamp.
They were each two and three-quarter
Inches long, and almost transparent,
with a stripe of silvery eheen down each
side from gills to tall. Under the lamp
the phosphorescence could not be seen,
but this did not deter the doctor from
going on with the examination. He dis
sected one of the flsh carefully, and then
removed the lamp from the foom. Thera
was the phosphorescent glow upon the
card where he had placed the viscera of
the little flsh; moreover, they seemed to
be Imbued with life. Sticking a pin
through the center of the glowing sao
he brought the light back, and opening
the sao disclosed four or live of the large
flre-flles which abound at the mountain
lake. Two of them were still alive. The
doctor's disappointment was keen, but
he could not refrain from laughing at
the simplicity of the solution of the mat
ter. The glowing Insects had been taken
In by the lively little flsh as they strug
gled upon the surface of the water, and
their strong ' Incandescence shone
■ through the transluoent aides of theU
captors.
tickling trout,
Th« Little Beauties Are Often Caught
by the Hand,
Shakespeare Is far from being the only
high authority who asserts the possi
bility of catching trout without the aid
of any other angling Implements than
the fisherman's own hands. Robert
Louis Stevenson knew all about this
simple but effective method. There Is a
passage In "Kidnapped” that describes
It minutely. While David Balfour and
Alan Breck Stewart were hiding In the
mountains, they supplemented their diet
of porridge In just this way, and as
David says, "grilled the little trouts
that we caught with our hands under
the stones and overhanging banks of the
burn. This,” he adds, “was Indeed our
chief pleasure and business. We spent
a great part of our days at the water
side, stripped to the waist, and groping
about or (as they say) 'guddllng' for
these fish. The largest we got might
have been three-quarters of a pound.”
So Captain Nettleton, about whose trout
tickling exploits there was an editorial
article In the Times on Sunday, is again
vindicated. It will be seen that Steven
son uses the word "guddllng.” In the
North of Ireland the term Is "glnnllng,”
The latter comes probably from the
Scotch “glnner,” or "glnnel,” a fish's
gill. None of the dictionaries make any
attempt to explain "guddle." An an
cient fisherman in whom there Is no
guile, informs us that trout remain quiet
when tickled because parasites, espe
cially at the low-water season, fasten
themselves upon the creature’s skin,
causing discomfort which friction of
any kind allays. This Is not a poetic
theory.
THE MINER’S BIG DOG.
He I* an Intelligent Animal and Know*
When Sunday Cornea
The mlner’a bis dog which appears at
all the C. P. R. stations Is quite an in
stitution. They think nothing of pulling
down a wolf, or an Indian either, for
the matter of that; but they are also
very friendly, faithful and Intelligent
and mighty proud of their masters, who
certainly spoil them. In the country
miners’ small dogs light for the amuse
ment of their masters. But I have seen
two gold washers fight, or rather pre
tend to fight, simply for the amusement
of their big dogs. The dogs looked on
and watched the contest with the Inter
est of connoisseurs. When their master
got the best of it they jumped about
wild with Joy, and when he got worsted
they would bark furiously at the ene
my, appreciating the sport most thor
oughly, but never Intervening except in
the way of vocal sympathy and moral
support. They are also very acute and
observant. Every day, at certain spots,
the railway refreshment car throws out
waste, and these drfgs know the time

Little Brown Eyes,
Blight little Brown Eyes from Baby,
land
Is winking and blinking at me;
I feel the touch of a dimpled hand
As he clambers upon my knee;
The tiny fingers tug at my heart.
And I fold him In my embrace.
The sweetest picture In all the world
Is my Brown Eyes’ dear little face.
Little Brown Eyes, I am all your own—

Your subject's heart is full of Joy.
Take all the treasures of life away—
I ask not wealth or station grand—
But leave. O Heaven, I humbly pray.
