Fishing by Electricity.

A French yachting party gives some de.
scription of the new apparatus which is be-
ing used with the permission of the gov
eminent of that country for fishing by elec-
tricity at night. Il consists of globe OF
glass within which the electric light is
shown. Two conductors incased in gutta-
percha are arranged SO as to meet one
another Oh the inside, very much on the
same principle which is now familiar to
all visitors to the Crystal palace. They
communicate with fishing-boat an.
chored at q convenient distance, and
can, of course, be set into activity by the
occupants of the boat. AS to the globe, il
is attached to weight below and float
above, so that 1t can be raised or lowered tc
the desired depth.
As soon as the carbons are ignited and
the glass in proper position, al the sea II
its vicinity is illuminated brilliantly, ano
the fish, over whom light is known to ex
ercise an irresistible influence at night
come eagerly, and sometimes in large
schools, within the rays. They may be seer
from above disporting themselves in the un
accustomed brightness, and little dreaming
of the sinister purpose with which the little
fete is organized for them. 1t is then thai
other fishing boats, armed with nets, come
up and set to work at the unconscious VIC
tins, which they surround as well as they
can without interfering with the lighted
globe. 1t may be supposed that this device
is calculated to operate with much deadly
effect whenever it is used; and their seems
to be much doubt whether it will ever be
allowed as recognized kind of fishing
within territorial waters. Indeed, the IL
cense granted by the government is said to
be merely provisional, and for the purpose
of testing the new machine.

What n Blind Pool Is.

A man well experienced in Wall street
ways, seasoned by misfortunes and ripenec
by many successes, said laughingly, yes
terday, referring to Governor Cornel's dea
in American District Telegraph stocks
"Blind POLL Why that was no sort OF
blind pool. That was nothing but net tc
catch gudgeons. DO you know what blind
pool is ?"
The reporter minated rather broadly
that he thought his education in that line
was beginning, though it was by no means
thorough.
IWeil. II tell you what blind pool is, y
said the veteran. 81 was coming from the
bank one day, when you were boy, and |
met Henry Keep. He took off his hat and
showed me burch of papers in 1t, ana be-
gan turning them over with his finger TO
Show me what they were. They were
checks from various amounts, from $40, COG
to $4,000, signed by some OF the pest
houses in the street."
"What's that2' | said.
81 don't know" said Keep. "Some Of
the boys have made up pool for some
thing. Want to go in?"
but what is it for?" said I, "What are

"And he went off. l thought about It,
and finally concluded would chip in ut

check for $4,000. didn't hear anything
more about it for three months, and did
not ask any questions. Then one day nc
came in and brought me check iol

"'What's this for? said l..

One of the curious developments OF trade
in southern California is the traffic in taran-
tulas and their nests. 1t is an entirely
new avenue of trade, and TO Master Leo
Freshman seem to belong the honor Of dis
covery and development. He began q
short time since to gather their curious
and ingeniously contrived nests for relic
hunters and curiosity seekers, and as the
trade increased he began the capture and
preservation in q state Of nature OF the
tarantula itself, which he does by injecting
into the animal arsenic in considerable
quantities. This has the effect Of presery-
ing the tarantula aud destroying all its
poison, and il may be handled with perfect
impunity after such treatment. In GER
tain localities these insects are quite
numerous, and the industrious hunter will
sometimes capture two dozen in a day, and
these, when prepared and nicely mounted,
bring SO per dozen. Mr.. Fleishman has
lust filed an order for two dozen for the
Denver exposition, now in session. He
also has orders from Chicago, st. Louis and
other Eastern cities, and several consign-
ments have been sent direct 10 London

The Exodus from Ireland.

The resolution of about half Of the /, 175
policemen of Dublin to come to America is
likely to have an important influence in
Ireland, and the number of immigrants ar.
irving at Castle Garden may be expected to
increase. The population of Ireland is
5,4l2, 377, according to the census OF 1881, or
nearly 5000, 900 less than it was forty years
ago. At the beginning of the present
wear it was ascertained that the
humber OF Irish immigrants du-
ring the thirty-four years since
1913 was 8, 2S3 1862, and the number Of arri-
walls in recent years has been from &C, 900 to
10000 annually. The total immigration
during 1881 was G69, 431, and the total tor
1882 is believed to be 10000, and Ireland is
likely to contribute as much as the odd
5000. The loss of that number OF inhab-
itants in single year must be serious
drain upon a country having a population
Of less than 5000 and there are Irish
patriots who denounce efforts to encour-
age an exodus. But other patriots regard
an exodus as inevitable, and wisely en-
deayor to guide their countrymen who
cross the Atlantic in their search for homes
in the United States. Father Nugent, OF
Liverpool, is now visiting Bishop lreland's
colony in Minnesota, and when he returns
home he will advise Irishmen who wish to
come to America. 1t will be a great bless
ing TO all concerned if Irish immigrants are
persuaded to seek homes in the agricul-
tural districts of the west rather than in
eastern cities

Gambling at Saratoga.

Much that is more wonderfo than true
has been written this season about the cele-
brated clubhouse here, which was made
famous by the late John Morrissey. 1t has
a great number Of visitors, probably as
many as ever, but most Of them go for curl
osity only, and do not indulge in any Of the
games which are spread before them. Faro
seems to be rather neglected, and the great
center of attraction for those who play is
the roulette table. l saw a northern gen,
