Fishing BY Means of Explosives.

Mr. A. w. Chase, of the United States
Coast Survey, in a recent communication
to the California Academy of Sciences "On
Fishing by Means of Explosives" present.
ed the following brief description of the
method employed in this modern mode of
sea-fishiug. Having rowed out in a skiff
from shore to where the water was from
six to eight fathoms in depth, and where
it's clearness rendered the bottom plainly
visible, he would drop an explosive cart
ridge, the fuse of which had been 80 gra-
duated as to explode at point half way
between the surface and the bottom. 1.-THE
cartridge" he states, t'would slowly sink
generally in a spiral-and few bubbles of
air or smoke arise to the surface. When
the fire reached the illuminate Of mercury,
there would be a sudden white fash, then q
quick, sharp detonati"n, the blow striking
the bottom of the skiff as il some one had
struck it with hammer. Then, in a space
of time varying from eight to ten minutes,
every fsh within a radius Of forty OF fifty
yards would slowly come to the surface.
Those within the immediate vicinity of the
explosion, of course, were killed by burst
ing the bladder and injury to the large in
testines, and had TO be speared up from the
bottom. Those, however, at a greater dis
lance would be simply stunned, and could
be taken in with a net. Care had to be
taken to avoid touching those only slightly
stunned until the net wac fairly around
them, as the slightest blow would arouse
them from their torpor."
Following this description of the method
is the annexed statement, for the truth of
which he voaches, and yet which, accord
ing to his own admission, might well be
regarded as q genuine Fish story -
had brought up by an explosion a number
of yellow bass fish, weighing about four
pounds each These are delicious in chow
der ADD go, instead of putting them in
alcohol, had them cleansed, which was
done by scaling, removing the intestines,
and cutting off the fns and tail. The
bead. however, still remained joined TO
the backbone. These fish, from the time
they had been taken from the water up to
the time of cleaning, remained apparently
lifeless Nor did the removal of the in
testines arouse them. They were then
taken up to the old barracks, where was
temporarily camped, and hung upon nails
driven into the clapboards. Some little
time after they had been thus disposed of,
one of the men came in and asked me to
&c out to look at the fish. did so, and
found every individual bass slRpping
around ia as lively manner as if he had
been freshly caught and hung mp. They
had, in fact, recovered from the explosion,
and proceeded to die in the common fash
ion. took one down, and broke the back
bone where it Joined the head. Its strug-
giles ceased instantly, thus showing that
tue vital force had been arrested in the
nerve-centres and brain at the time of ex-
PlQsicu; and, when the effect had passed

SIMPLIcITY.-The Empress of Austria is
probably the most unaffected sovereign in
the world: According to sketch of her
babits given by correspondent Of the
Standard, her Imperial Majesty likes soli-
tude, freedom from all etiquette, and the
most fatiguing outdoor exercise. When in
Vienna she often walks in the streets sim-
ply dressed in black, or makes excursions
to the mountains. where she does not dis
dain to dine or sup in the simplest restan'
rant. A few months ago visited the
beautiful valley of Hipter Hainbach, and in
the restaurant to the left Of my table, some
artisans were drinking wine, beer, and
coffee, and to my right the Empress and
Grown Prince were dining. The Empress
occasionally dimes in public restaurant
outside Vienna. Every body recognises her
Msjesty nobody molests her but at the
same time, they are not disturbed in any
way by her presence.
