CRIMPfNG FISH.

A correspondent of Land and Water protests
against the charge that crlinplng tish is cruel
OF the general practice of treating fish he says
AS rule, of al fish, fresh water or salt, we
deliberately let them die of suifocatlot, rs
sheen would die in deep water And tien we
eat their flesh which we should not do That OF
the sheep. This method OF procuring the death
of the fish is simply torture. OF course we can
not avoid this method or its results IN the eise or
catches of shoals of fish, but III the cases In which
individual fish are taken on single hooks it can
be avoided. Crimp, and you kill at once; and
instead of the too frequent wooliness OF the
flesh OF "a fish which has been allowed TO dIe;
Won have n fish with a crisp fIaky flesh and
this Just makes the difference between good
fish and bad fish OF the Sc me species and season.
But if You have nervcusiy sensitive scruples
about crimping fish, or if your fish is too small
to admit of such rough treatment. then sever
the backbone OF the fish inst where It joins the
skull, and its death will be instantaneous, ana
the flesh of your fish for food will he made
better than it would be if the usual process OF
letting it die were adopted"

THE PAUSE.

So deep her dream of coming good,
So vast her gazo down passions no0o
BY snnny reach and shadovy wood,
30 bold and shy in maidenhood
On fancy's treacheTous steep she stoou'
Her will perforee must sleep:
The life behind was flat and gray;
Before, q swelling prospect lay;
Aud one was whispering her 20 stsy,
And one was beckoning her away
Ii was not hers to say him nay;
And yet-she falls to weep.
In piteous tremor by her side
The voice TO each warm wish repiied
With words Of duty, home, and pride
Here, certain peace-there, hopes untried'
And now sne unused. and now she signed;
But scarce she strives to speak.
For on her wrist she felt hand,
SO softly strong its master-band
A iiattering breath her forehead tanned
With vows 'twere treason to withstand
Or be they writ on rock or sand.
Yet-dare she then be weak
Poor child from such n dream TO wake
One word the maiden spell shall break
One step her moments empire shake.
This heart shall glow, but that shall acne;
And fain she neither would f0rsake-
BY either would be won.
So at the blushiDgOf the skies
The sun in jewelled cradle lies;
Day cannot be unless he rise
lie lifts-the painted magic lies
He clouds at noon-at eve he dies
And yeti IL the sun.

SCIENCE FOR THE PEOPLE.
THE ALIMACANTAR.

Professor s. G.. Chandler, jr OF Boston, VINO
has of late invented several useful astronomicfi
instruments, has just devised another Tor de-
terminng time and latitude, which he names
The AlimaCaDtar. IL is thus descrlDeu iii
Science Observer:
The instrument consists OF heavy pase,
with approximate dwelling screws at the cor
ners from the centre of which arises an upright
cylindrical pillar suImounted oy cap OF na ,l.l
brass, and encircled at the middle ana base by
brass collars. These serve as the bearings for
hollow, brass sleeve, fitting closely to the
pillar and turning smoothly upon IL. ms
sleeve is provided with a crOss-hcad, ana lat
eral diagonal braces which support shallow
trough in the form OF hollow rectangle In
this trough il contained mercury, to the depth
of about one-eighth of an inch, upon when
swims float of wood or iron, also IN the 1oIm
of hollow rectangle, little smaller tnan the
trough By means of two pins, projecting
from the sides of the trough and playing In
vertical slots in the sides of the f1oat, the later
is kept in place, while 1t IL Tree 10 seek lts
euuibrium From the middle OF the inside
edges of the float project two bent arms OF
brass, the lower ends OF which support the
horizontal axis OF the telescope. The axis Is
provided at one end with clamp, and at the
ether with an illuminating contrivance, and
the telescope has u retlcule OF i've HORIZONTAL
spideT-iDes.
If the telescope is turned on its axis and
claimed at any desired altitude, and the whole
instrument revolved around the upIlght axis,
the sght-lne will describe small circle III the
heavens. parallel to the horizon. II IL evident
that the transit of stars as they rise or tall
over this horizontal circle, may be observed,
and will furnish the means OF finding The clock
error, and also the Latitude by proper selec-
ton of the stars in different aZlmuths. III two
stars be selected which pass over any horizontal
small circle, within few minutes OF each
other on opposite sides of the meridian, the
observation OF their passage will give the data
for determining the altitude OF the Ipstrument
and the clock correction Since the IefractiOn
equally affects the attitudes OF both stars, 1t
will eliminate itself from the clock correction.
