A Blind Bass.

Captain Maieas, manager of the old
Iron Pier at Coney Island, recently ex-
hibited totally blind striped bass which
was caught in the surf together with half
dozen othes bass. They were captured
with rod and reel, with sandworms for
bait One eye of the blind bass was gone,
having evidently been torn out by hook,
and the other eye was covered with a
heavy cataract. The question which will
now interest the scientific world is, Can
fish smell9 This question, like the ques-
ton "Can fish hear, has long been an
interesting one. This bass certainly had
the sense of smell well developed or it
could not have procured its food. The
Captain advanced the theory that the
other bass guided their unfortunate COM
panion up to its food, but the cannibal-
istic nature of all fish conflicts with this
idea. The fish was in good condition,
and was as fat as the others. 1t weighed
two and one half pounds.
Striped bass are about the keenest fish
intellectually of all the finny tribe" said
the old salt 'Some time ago / heard
commotion under the pier in the shallow
water, and went down to see what it could
be. A small school of bass had sur
rounded a smaller school of butterfish,
and had driven the little fellows into the
shallow water, where they were making
sad havoc among them. One little fell
low escaped, and was. holly pursued by
two large bass He swan round and
round one of the piles with the bass in
hot pursuit. Suddenly one of the bass
turned and waited with open mouth for
the poor little fellow, who fairly swan
into the jaws of death. / Immediately
began to fish for bass with minnows, and
caught sixteen beauties. u New York

Australian Holidays.

Besides occasional and fugitive holi-
DAYS in which certain classified bodies of
individuals in Australia participate there
occur at least twice in the year contin-
ued series of festivities which consume a
week or two each, at Christmas and
Easter. At Christmas the Melbourne
Stock Exchange djourns for fortnight;
many large manufactures entirely sus-
pend operations for ten days; the banks
are closed and the Post Office is only
open at brief and uncertain hours for a
week; everybody who can save, beg or
borrow, or otherwise gain possession of
sufficient money for the purpose goes into
the country, or to the races, which, like
the poor, are always with us Of Australia,
and Melbourne is in aspect of desertion,
like city stricken with the plague The
Easter season brings similar phenomena
to light Closing on Thursday night, no
bank, warehouse or office opened until
the Wednesday following. Every train
was packed to suffocation, either with
people going from Melbourne into the
country or coming from the country into
Melbourne, all seeking change, and flying
as rapidly as might be to scenes that were
unfamiliar in that pursuit.

The Fishhook.

One interesting form of copper imple-
ment is the ishhook. Those in the
Archaeological Museum at the University
of Pennsylvania will be readily admitted,
says Professor Albeit, to be admirably
adapted to their purpose, although the
barb had not suggested itself. They are
copied from the early native bone fish
hooks, for assume the use of copper was
of a later date than that of stone or bone.
They are essentially the product of Am
erican skill, and not derived, as is shown
when they are compared with the bronze
fishhooks of Europe, especially those
found in the lake dwellings of Switzer-
land.
These are usually barbed; some are
double, and it is very rare to find one
that has not loop or some other device
for securing the line, feature wanting
on those from Wisconsin, but occurring
on one from New York made of brass
wire and doubtless copied from hooks Of
European manufacture.-{New York

A Famous Woman Justice.

The admission of Wyoming to State
hood recalls the pioneer days of woman
office-holding in that unique civilization,
Hester Morris was the first woman APP
pointed justice of the peace in the Unit
ed States. In those rough pioneer times
the bowie-knife and pistol oftener set
tied disputes than did court of Justice.
Mrs. Morris was a tall Elizabethan type
of woman, with as rugged features and
as brusque method of expression as has
been ascribed to the English Queen.
Her first case in Wyoming court con-
cerned quarrel between two young
men, who were brought before her
armed with bowie-knives and pistols.
She had known them since their boy
hood, and in spite of the fact that q
scene had been expected on her first ap-
pearance, few words of motherly adj
vice to those who had known her kind
ness and little native mother-wit carried
the day; after that there was no more
thought of trouble.
She was particular "terror" to a
certain class of evil-doers; men who had
been arrested for beating their wives or
for general drunken disturbances of the
peace invariably pleaded not to be taken
before "old ledge Morris" They
wanted to be tried by "men. ~ New
