A TREASURE TRoyE--Those of our Bel
Air readers who are old enough and have
lived here long enough will recollect that
the main street was paved, some thirty or
forty years ago, with the pro cceds of lot
tcry-a custom not uncommon in those days
when lotteries were sanctioned by law. 1t
has recently come to light that after the
work was done and paid for balance of
about 1928 remained, which was deposited
by the committee experimenting the work,
in the Bank of Baltimore. There the mon
ey has remained until now there being no
legal claimant for it, The Town Commits
sioners Accord ngly have made application
to the Legislature TO authorize the payment
of this fund to them, rs the successors OF the
old street paving committee, and The only
body authorized TO receiveit. There can be no
reason why it should not be paid to them, and
in all probability the Legislature will author
ize this disposition of it. A street paving
committee of the present day would not be
likely TO have any surplus fund to deposit in
bank for the benefit of the next generation.

lecture in the course of chemistry at the

his subject Kerosene, - An article Of daily
Use, which has produced more household
disasters in Baltimore than almost any
other known agent. The object OF The
lecture Was to show the properties of coal
Oil, the methods OF refining. etc. The
professor stated that the result Of 4 test Of
twenty samples Of e~oal-oil. purchased at

was guided by the temperature Of the oil
in an ordinary lamp after it had been

ferrei to a series of experiments as deter

where the highest temperature reached by
the oil in a lamp after burning an hour
was 1899. and the lowest 76'. The dan

English Angling Matches.

An anecdots is told of q fshing-match
which took place in Sussex, on a river
rendered somewhat difficult TO fish BY rea-
son Of the falling and rising of the tide,
the peculiar objection being that during
the ebb the receding waters must be fol-
lowed up through deep mud. One com
petitor was bewailing his hopeless chance
of winning the teapot which was offered
as a prize, his only take being a diminu-
tive eel, weighing a little over three
ounces. Presently some spectators, on a
tour Of visits 10 the competitors, arrived,
and inquired after the nature of his sport.
"Oh, l am completely out of it, this
small eel being all l have taken" There
We differ with YOU" ~encouraringly re-
piled the visitors, for this and another
eel of the same size are all we have seen
taken to-day" The hopes raised were,
however, dashed to the ground, for the
other eel weighed a bare eighth of ar
ounce more and took the prize. In the
late Sheffield contest four pounds fifteen
ounces won tie prize of forty gulneas.
The smallness OF the take Is, perhaps, to
be ex ,lained by the fact of the compe'i-
tors forming a line on the bank to the
distance of three and a half miles, the
fish being rendered powerless to feed from
sheer perplexity. Fancy a fish coming
suddenly upon an array of food hanging
in m~id-water, as far as the eye can reach,
looking to a human eye like an endless
street of butchers shops. Fancy, | say,
a fish coming upon such a scene. Here a
bunch of sentles attract its attention, but
before it has made up its mind . lively
Branding ~wriegles into notice. Then a
choice piece OF graves tempts the palate,
only to be supplanied by a wasp-grub,
until the bewildered creature attempts to
fy the scene, but in vain. Turn where it
will, food still meets its view; for miles
nothing but food, food, food.
