THE RICHMOND D1spATCH-.sUNDAY SEPTEMBER 20, 1885,

his hand which was surrounded by piece
Of bright tin held in place by wires and
capable Of being slid downward as the
torch burned; the other. free from all In
cumbrance, carried the spear. Thus
equipped they waded knee-deep through
the shadows. avoiding tho deepest pools and
the extreme shadows. A likely hole was
found and both stood still. Then the man
with the basket pitched astone down stream
Just on the other side. The fish rushed
out Of their hiding places into the circle
of light, and were fascinated by II until
the spear secured more than one OF their
number. There was no noise and but little
light except on the surface OF the water,
and If any one approached plunge IN the
water " doused the glim," and the chatter
Of the shadows covered their retreat. The
quantity Of fish taken this way IL incredl-
bic, and only the quantity exposed Tor sale
in the village markets at all seasons ever
led TO an investigation.
The rivers of Belgium and the famous
dykes of Holland are thickly populated
with lamprevs, or, rs we call them, lam
per-eels.n Every country raised boy has
dug them out of the mud-those queer
little cells. cOpper-colored, the same shape
all the way down, having seven little holes
on each side, AS old Fuller the writer said,
making il look more like an instrument
OF music than ANYTHING else" We use
them az a bait for black bass. and in
this country they seldom grow 20 any size,
but the Belgians consider them a great
delicacy and import them 10 England IN
large quantities for table purposes.
In the spring months they are speared IN
great quantities in a somewhat novel man
ner. The rivers there are crossed by q sue
cession of small dams or weirs, over which
the water comes tumblng only few
inches in depth. The spearers have a Ian
tern strapped on the crown of their head
by an arrangement of wire and basket
strapped Mt their backs. This basket has
a top shaped like our eel-pots, with hole
through which the fish can be dropped but
cannot crawl oHt again He takes his station
Mt the foot of the dam. or where the light
from his lantern falls on the water above.
The lampreys at night hold on to the
stones with their mouths ike our suckers,
and when they see the light they let go
their hold and drift lazily, tail first, to the
| dam and over it: as they slip down the in
| cline they hang to the first projection, and
| quick as a flash the spear strikes them and
| they are transferred to the basket. one
man in the river never used spear, but
put on a pair of untanned gloves and
| caught them rs they came over the dam.
One night saw him catch l26 pounds of
| these GELS.
Visitors crossing tho bridges see these
! lights scattered over the river, blending
with the lights on shore. rendering 1t

the water becomes shallow and increase as

one soon to become fairly proficient.

THE HEATER At ST. LOUIS.
II Has Been Adopted on One Car-Line
and VIII BE on Others.

Z mas Ittn hhVPtNh VIZ Wv 1900
and VIII BE on Others.
Captain Andrew PizZini, secretary OF the
Burton Electric-Heater Company, received
a letter yesterday afternoon from Or. Bur
ton. who is at st. Louis, where he has his
invention on exhibition in the Electrical
Exposition. in which he speaks very conn.,
IDENTIFY Of the future Of the heater. The
machine has attracted a great deal OF at
tention among electricians, and the lndl-
cation is that il will be very generally
adopted on street-railway and other car
lines. All Of the strcet-car systems IN st.
Louis. Dr. Burton writes, are preparing 10
adopt electricity as motive power. Ohe
system has given an order for the heaters
to be placed in its cars, and others are ne
gotiating for them.
The heater is now being tested a. a
means of ventilating cellars and subject
lars, and if this experiment proves success;
full an entirely new avenue Will be opened
up for the use Of the electric current.
The POST Dispaich Of recent date, In
speaking of the Exposition, says:
THE electric-stOvcs scattered about IN
half a dozen exhibits in the basement are
source Of wonder TO perpleXed crowds,
who cannot understand how n current OF
electricity can heat large cast-iron
moulding so hot that il will boil water and
Nti lit Nit NDlANif iAi- II i'iit'f+A
understanding the theory on which the
stove is made all that need be learned
IS that different metals offer different
resistance to d current of electricity pass
ING through them, or in other words. one
metal is a better con juctor than another.
Copper beng the best it is used IN wires
to convey currents. 1t has been discovered
that when a current Of electricity Is re-
tarded it will create a heat at the point
where the delay occurs. Acting on this
discovery, the inventor Of the stove tired
a number of metals 10 see which would
offer the least resistance and yet pro-
duce the greatest degree of heat. Ger
man silver was found to be the metal,
10 convey this heat to n sheet Of
iron without touching it with the wire,
thus breaking the current, was hard
problem. but was finally solved. In the
stove about twenty or twenty-five feet OF
German silver wire is ZigZagged across the
interior of the stove and pulyerzed IRON
clay is found in burying the wire and pre-
venting contact with any part Of the iron
stove, which is no more than two sheets OF
moulded cast-iron fitted to one another.
When the current is turned on the Ger
man silver wire resisting the current be-
comes red hot like the platinum wire IN an
incandescent lamp. The fire clay. becomes
heated from the wire, and in turn heats the
wire which is resting upon it. The heat
thus generated can be made so intense
that the stove will glow with red heat

Visitors along the bays Of our coast and
inland streams may now sec, when they are
walking abroad in the calm evenings. lights
like enlarged will '-the-wisps floating from
point to point among the shadows, and
wonder what they may be. They lnvestl-
gate them, 10 find the mystery resolve u
self into boat with two men, one 10 pole
the boat and one to spear the fish. Inc
LIGHT proceeds from an upright about three
feet biqh. from which projects an arm Of
about the same length, the end OF when ~
loosely wrapped around with tow or cot
tOn-waste. On the top OF the uprig II Is y
two-ouart can fitted with q faucet and
holding kerosene. which flows fast or slow
as desired along the arm, which IS hollow
and saturates the bundle Of tow, and tins,
being lighted. attracts the fish ana shows
them plainly TO the spearer.
In the old days an open work cresset OF
iron was filed with dry pine knots which
the boys collected from the woods. The
fault of this was that it could only be used
in the bow Of the boat, and 80 as 70 cast the
strongest light in an awkward place. Inc
dense smoke also came straight back over
the boat much 10 the discontinue OF
the sportsmen. Then the lamp with a re-
flecter was tried. This was dark at the
back and was fixed on a pivot allowing the
light 10 be thrown from side 10 sid", but
even with this the strongest light fell too
far ahead. SO the upright and arm came
into usd and is more generally used than
any.
The duties of the man with the pole are
not easy, and but few people can pole q
boat to suit an old spearer. He must not
strike the bottom hard with his pole. for
sound is much increased under the water
and the mere conclusion of the pole on q
-ock-bottom will scare fish twenty yards
away. Then he must pole the boat Just 50,
neither too fast nor too slow, and IN .di-
rection to keen the smoke from crossing
the boat. When an eel is struck the boat
must be stayed and held still, or sudden
lifting of the spear will enable the tsh TO
get away, as the prongs of the spear re-
lieyed from the pressure spring back INTO
place. In using the spear consideraoie
skill is required, as will soon be found out
bv tho repeated misses scored at first
-.

In France rather a peculiar method Of
Swearing fish is adopted, winch IS called
"spearing from float" A bend IN the
stream near a village is sought, where the
bottom is bright, sandy, and nos too deep.
Stout poles are driven into the 6oit2 I'm
about six feet apart, and on these well be
low the surface. rough-woyen hurdles OF
willow OF ash twigs are fastened, about
twenty feet square. then about foot above
the first other hurdles are placed and the
space between Is filed with PUSHES. \. hole
about two feet square IS cut in the middle
through both urdles and the float Is com
plete. For several nights a man goes down
and bats the GROUND under the float with
chnpped worms. etc, loosely rolled into
balls with clay which slowly, fall to pieces pieces
and give the bait to the fish; hui during
the day no one goes near it. The spear IS
called n stang" and is trident with
three flat tines. which are about seven
inches long and of great elasticity, The
pole is made of thelightest and most risld
wood obtainable, generally Lakewood OF
ash.

FORMATION of a non-partsan Woman's
Christian Temperance Union in Alinneapo-

state convention at Duluth, which declared
that comparisons would not be again re-
cognized. This move on the part of the
local Woman's Christian Temperance
Union is watched with great interest by
the members Of the national organization.
IL is the first movement that has been made
towards a national non-partisan organiza-
