from various incidents that have come
under my observation that fish are not
sensitive to pain rs arc warm blooded
animals. will cite two instances that
show to me plainly that must be right
in my conclusions on this subject:
Last October, while fishing for pick

pickcrel that would weigh nearly, if not
quife, thirty-onc pounds. My friend
pulled it up, and rs il came OH to the top
I saw about twelve feet OF IL very coarse
brown line hanging to it. Upon inspect
ing it more closely found that the fish
had in its side very strong and coarsc
hook, to which the piece of line was
attached. The wound must have been
made very short time previous to oul
catching the fish, for it was blee,ling
quite freely and looked very fresh, and il
the fish could feel pain il would certainly

Tie Suicide Clnh.

Wendell Baum, the Secretary Of that
unique organization, the Bridegroom
(Conn.) Suicide Club, has fulfilled the
membership agreement by killing him
self. The history of this astonishing
society is one Of intense interest to the
student of morbid psychology.
-Four years ago five citizens of Bridge
port, all Germans, met one day while all
were in low spirits, and half in lest
organized the Suicide Club. The agree
ment was that one member of the club
should end his life that year, one the
next, and so on until all were gone.
The agreement has thus far been faith
fully kept. When the meeting was held
in january there were only two members
to attend it, the Secretary and the Presi-
dent. 1t was proposed ut this meeting
by the Secretary that the President
should make away with himself during
the year, and the President made the
same request of the Secretary.
There being no way to settle the oues
ton, it was mutually decided that the
polls Inc held open until a new member
was pledged and initiated. A letter
carrier named MayDy talked seriously of
becoming member, and the President
and Secretary had great hopes of him
until one morning it was learned that he
had committed suicide without first ioin-
ing the club.
He carried, however, a handsome silk
umbrella. which he bcqueathed to the
Secretary of the club, Baum, and it was
accepted, but the longer Baum carried
the umbrella the more unhappy he be-
came, and, when his friends tried to
cheer him up, he said GA cloud hangs
over me. lam doomed"
Finally he sold his property, turned
the money over to bis wife and gave the
umbrella into the charge of friend,
directing that it be sent to tho President
OF the club. He then cut his throat.
The President of the club is now the
only member left, and another year will
show if he keeps his oath.-New Orleans

New Oil sprcader for stormy Seas.

difficulty experienced in the use o,
OIL in II storm at sea is that when spread
on the surface the wind blows it to lee
ward and the effect is lost. This diff
Guilty is now overcome by II new device
consisting of mortar and bomb. The
latter is nearly globular shell of cast
iron filled with oil. On the side toward
the mnzzlc rs it lies in the mortar is an
aperture closed by n hinged cover, fitting
tightly and fastened witha sort of latch.
The latch is so constructed that when
the mortar is discharged the pressure of
the air releases it. But the aperture in
the shell is not opened until it strikes
the water and sinks beneath the surface.
The shell is so weighted that AS it sinks
the aperture is uppermost, and the cover
is lifted by the pressure of the oil upon
it. Thus the oil is released we'll beneath
the surface, and rises through the waves,

merged ruins of n splendid city which
seems to have been destroyed without

make only chance references To a place
called Cctobriga. The ancient and popu.
lous city, accidentally brought to modern
notice by IL fisherman, stood on Il strip of
land nine miles long and three miles
wide, and the remains OF beautiful build
ings, columns and statues, with tho in
scriptions, pottery, medals, coins, scpul-
chral lamps, and other objects, prove that
the inhabitants were prosperous and
highly civilized people. The relics in
dictate that the city was built by the Ro-
mans on the site of town founded by
the Phcnicians. The ruins lie in con-
siderable part beneath the placid waters
