FASHIONED RACK.
vas tried. This was dark at the bach
and was fxed on a pivot, allowing the
light to be thrown from side TO side,
but even with this the strongest light
fell too far ahead, so the upright and
arm came into use, and is more gener-
ally used than any.
The duties OF the man with the pole
arc not easy, and but few people can
pole a boat 10 suit an old spearer. lie
must not strike the bottom hard with
hts pohe, for sound is muoh increased
under the water. and the mere concus-
sion OF the pole on a rock bottom viii
scare fish twenty yards away. Then lie
must pole the boat Just so, neither too
fast nor too slow. and in direction 10
keep 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 fish TO get away as
the prongs OF the spear relieved from
she pressure spring back into place. In
using the spear considerable skill is
required, as will be soon found out by
the repeated misses scG-ed at first try
ing.
One must allow for defrac ction in maxi
ing a strike. A perfectly straight stick
held upright in depth Of three feet Of
water will appear 70 be bent at an angle of
twenty degrees. and this angle vii. de-
crease when the water becomes shallow,
and increase as 1t grows deep Who
has not noticed this fact in the rushes
fringing the river bank? Consequently
the first thing 20 learn is 10 Judge tho
depth az which the fish lies; at the
depth of three feet strike fully a foot
behind him if he is coming toward you,
and a trife more IL going from yOu-
The best way is TO try first al fish going
against the stream, as IN striking with
the current the slightess thing varies
the accuracy and nothing more 50 than
grsspinG the spear moro h-mly at one
lime than another. These few hints
should enable anyone soon TO become
fairly proficient
IN France rather a peculiar method

SECRETARY BAYARD ON SAMOA.

Secretary Bayard says that the policy
OF our Government towards Samoa was
dihinite. and that it has been maintained.
The policy was TO protect Samoa against
foreign control. and that Germany and
Great Britain 5oM assented 10 this policy,
and the acts Of Germany, inconsistent
with her professions have grown out of
petty political intrigues among native
chiefs, and the rivalry Of foreigners for
influence and commercial supremacy.
Mr. Bayard says that it is not true that
the rights of American citizens have
been outraged by the Germans, and that
the fiag said to have been insulted was
not displayed to protect American rights,
but happened to be in little village that
took fire during the German attack, and
the Gag was partly burned.
The whole questions for Americans to
consider Mr.. Bayard says, is whether
we shall continue TO maintain neutrality
as between Mataafa and the Germans, or
assume the rolerof belligerent toward
Germany in behalf Of one Of the TWO
claimants to the throne.
1t appears further from Mr.. Bayard :
statement that the secret conference be-
tween himself, the German Minister and
the British Minister, had several meet
ings without sufficiently definite results
10 be made known at the time.
But he says that he was surprised
when in August the German Minister
informed him Of the determination of his
government 10 act alone in protecting
its own rights at Samoa. The Secretary
concluded by saying that Senator Sher-
mans proposed appropriation OF $500,
900 for a cooling station would not buy a
million tons of coal nor build gunboat.
According to Minister Pendleton's &C
count of his interview with Bismarck on
this subject, the Chancellor must have
succeeded in carrying out his Samoan
policy under cover of the secret confer
ence which he said had not come 10 any
definite result, but all the time according
to Mr. Bayard. the German Minister at
Washington had signifed his consent 10
the plan that the three powers should
guarantee Samoan independence.
The reader will note the fact, there
fore, that the Samoan affair Is cleared Of
any injury to American citizens, and re-
solves itself into diplomatic question
relating TO the conference between the
three representatives, respectively Of the
United States, Great Britain, and Ger
many
1t is necessary TO note also that II Is
stated that this conference had several
meetings, but had not had final meet
