A nine-year-old son of Maine. liy-
ing eleven miles from Bangor, heard
of the electric lights in that city, and
leased his father to take him there

An interesting innovation in the
method of catching cod has just been
made by the French fishermen coasting
off Newfoundland. They catch large
periwinkles, remove their shells, and
use the creatures for bait. The cod,
it is said, have bitten eagerly at the
new bait and the owners of the French
vessels have caught fish so fast that
they were able to sail for France in the
first week of July, instead of October
as usual. In England the whelk has
long been used for the same purpose.

1t consists of seven natural wells ex-
tending almost straight downward to a
depth unknown. Large stones cast in
so ne of these wells go rumbling down,
making coarse, rasping sound at first
as they strike against the sides of the
well. growing fainter and fainter until
lost by the distance. Near these wells
is a cave, the mouth of which is large
enough for horse to enter. Several
gang ways lead off from the main ell
trance to large separate chambers, and
from these other passageways lead off
probably to UNEMPLOYED chambers.
