Fishing for Ducks.

In India an ingenious scheme is prac-
ticed for taking ducks on line, which
is attached at one end to flexible stick
stuck up in the mud, the other extremity
having double pointed needle of bone
attached to it. The latter is baited by
stringing upon it some grains of corn.
Presently along comes Mr.. Duck, swal-
lows the needle and finds himself cap
tive the moment he tries to fly away. In
old times the Cape Cod fishermen de-
pended largely for bait upon the sea fowl
they took on their voyages. To catch
them they threw out fishing lines with
hooks ON the ends, to which were at
tached chunks Of cod liver The latter
6oated because of the oil they contained,
and INJURIES, gulls and other birds swal-
lowing them were quickly pulled in,
skinned and chopped up.-Interviaw in

Mr.. Arthur S. Green, an American
photographer, gives the following meth
cd Of making the camera source Of
amusement by the production Of 'ghost"
Of ''shadow" pictures-for example, Z
seated man starting back in terror from
his own specter. Make a background Of
the proper size BY EtretchiN9 out some
black material Place the subject, draped
IN white or in light clothing, in the hight
attitude TO the right Of left Of the cenfes
Of the background, then focus the cam
era and expose the plate for half SEQ
ond: The impression will be that Of
shadowy and ghostlike figure. Take
chair and table, placing the chair in the
center of the background, and the table
on the side away from the ghost.
Seat the subject in the chair, with his
head turned to the ghost; focus again,
and give the plate full exposure, which,
if the light is good, should be about two
seconds. Develop and print in the usual
way. Any objects to be seen through
the ghost should be photographed with
fifteen seconds exposure before taking
the picture of the ghost. Other devices
of the kind might be mentioned, but it
will be more interesting to leave them
to the ingenuity of the amateur New
York Advertiser.

Dutch at Utrecht he sought to beguile
the tedium Of his prison life by atten-

to be well versed in their ways. In De-

whose victory over the Dutch depended
