the experiment Of burning tar barrels on the ''back
sidc'' OF Nahant for the purpose OF Turing within
their reach schools OF herring reported TO be IN the
bay The effect was quite successful anu large num-
bers were taken. The plan adopted was 10 hold
the blazing torch over the waters edge, .whle
out The ish anu deposited them In safety on the
shore Some OF the party mus secured as many
twenty buckets full, and Others were more or less
fortunate This mode OF fishing has not been tried

rather a matter OF experiment. II Is likely TO be
tried more extensively In future. The lights were
seen again on Wednesday evening.
