srackerel WIN BE Cheaper.

erel it seems begin to run in our waters
about the middle of April, at first APP
pearing in immense numbers, but small
size. For years the fishermen gathered
them in at the earliest possible moment,
thereby preventing them from reaching
good growth, and wasting thousands
Of small fish that were almost worthless
on the market.
To prevent this a law was passed pro-
hibiting the catching of mackerel until
the LIST of June, by which time a good
growth is obtained. AS, however, by
that date they have become scarce in
this vicinity, the price became CORE
spondingly high. Next April the five
year embargo expires, and we will have
abundant and cheap mackerel until the
fishermen again overreach themselves.
A fish dealer said recently: 1T was
wicked the way these fish were wasted
for twenty-five cents, few years ago,
you could come into my shop and buy a
half peck of mackerel, small and big, as
they came. Then they grew so scarce
that about the time the law went into
effect single plump fish brought one
dollar sometimes. There is talk now of
passing law to prevent the sale Of the

The Gold Cure Is Very Old.

The precious metal has been employed
both externally and internally, in the
metallic state, in solution and by sym
pathy, for great variety of the ills that
flesh is heir to, for over 1000 years. The
train of thought which led the anoients
to employ this highly priced material
can be well told in the quaint language
of the distinguished Dutch physician and
chemist, Hermann Boerhaave; writing
about 1875, he says: 1.-THE alchemists
will have this metal contain know not
what radical balm of life capable of re-
storing health and continuing it to the
longest period.
what led the early physicians to
imagine such wonderful virtue in gold
was that they perceived certain qualities
therein which they fancied must be
conveyed thereby into the body; gold,
for instance, is not capable of being dc.
stroyed; hence they concluded 1t must
be very proper to preserve animal sub
stances and save them from putrefac-
ton, which is a method of reasoning
very much like that of some fanciful
physicians who sought for an assuaging
remedy in the blood of an ass ear by
reason the ass is very calm beastr-

A Dangerous Fly Bite.

To he threatened with death from the
bite of an ordinary house fly is strange
thing. but recently Joseph Swain was in
danger of losing his life from that cause.
Mr.. Swain had slight abrasion on the
skin of his left hand. 1t was very sim
ple injury, not being severe enough to
break the outer cuticle. On Saturday,
while seated in his house, he felt a
sharp. singing sensation on the injured
spot. A fly was biting him, and he had
70 shake his hand several times to drive
him away. Immediately Mr.. Swain felt
main in his hand and the hand began to
swell. By evening the swelling and the
main had extended to the wrist, and the
next morning, when DR.. Peyton was
called in, the whole arm as far as the
elbow had assumed abnormal proper
TONS The patient was suffering excru-
ciating pain, and he had passed a night
of agony.
Everything indicated blood poisoning,
and the physician regarded it as a seri-
GUS case. The doctor is of the opinion
that there is new species of fly about
here, the bite of which il poisonous.
They resemble the house fly in every
way, excepting that they are smaller and
backer.
The most probable theory is that the
fly injected into Mr.. SWANS arm some
poisonous substance drained from some
thing upon which the fly had been feed

Making balloons Safe.

Two melancholy accidents through
balloons becoming ruptured in midair
have led to experiments being made
with a view to save life under such con-
ditions. One aeronaut in France fitted
his balloon with parachute which
overspread the upper part of the gaseous
envelope. He then made an ascent, and,
with marvellous confidence in the value
of his improvement, purposely cut the
fabric of the balloon and let the gas es-
cape. The parachute then expanded,
and the occupants of the car sank slow
ly and saSely to earth.
In an.Aher experiment, conducted in
this cor ;try, to show that, if the neck
line Of balloon were left united the
silk envelope would itself form an UNI
brellalike parachute, the car had nc
occupants, but was weighted so as to
represent a crew Of three persons. By
means of fuse and weight the fabric
was automatically slit from top to bot
tom when the balloon was at height
of 5000 feet, upon which the material
assumed the form of an inverted basin
and came down gently. 1t is argued
from the result of this experiment that
the occupants of burst balloon would
come safely to the ground if they only
had the presence of mind to cut the
neck line. Chambers Journal.

Doss Lightning Sour tn. allls

1t is we'll known fact that milk Is
especially apt to sour during the preva-
lence Of thunderstorm, and from this
1t has been surmised that the electric
discharge held some mysterious sway
over the tactical fluid. An Italian ex-
perimenter, one Professor G. Tolomei,
has been making trials of various sorts,
the object being to throw some light on
electric influence over milk molecules.
In his first experience he passed an cleo
trio discharge from Holtz machine be-
tween two balls of platinum hanging
two inches apart in bottle containing
a quart of fresh milk; secondly, by send
ing current between two strips OF
platinum at the bottom of a V tube
filed with the same fluid; thirdly, by
subjecting milk in test tube to the &C
ton of strong battery current through
silk covered copper wire wound spi-
rally around the tube.
In each one of these experiments,
which were as thorough as any lover Of
science could wish, it was proved that
acidulation of the milk was delayed in
stead of FASTENED, as had been expected.
Three equal portions of milk from the
same milking thus treated began to
grow acid on the seventh, the ninth and
the sixth days, respectively, while other
portions of it which had not been treated
with electricity was rankly acid on the
evening of the third day. Having thus
disproved the popular theory of lightning
being the direct cause of the acidifica-
ton of milk, Professor Tolomei tried
ozone and found therein the mystic
agent of milk souring. In his second
trial of ozone he brought the surface Of
a quantity of milk close to the two balls
of the machine used, and the fluid al
most instantly became acid in conse-
quence.
Here at last mystery that has puz.
zled professors and peasants alike has
been made plain.-St. Louis Republic.

Tasmania Silver.

The richness of some of the ores found
in Tasmania is marvellous. Recently
some Zeehan chloride was twice tested
by private analyses and found to assay
nearly 10000 ounces of silver to the ton.
The accuracy of these tests being doubt
ed, two specimens were submitted tothe
government analyst for trial in his lab
oratory, with the result that in both
samples he found over 10000 ounces to
the ton. From another mine native sill
yer and antimonial ore assayed 5000
ounces to the ton. A soft clay found in
one claim gave 800 ounces to the ton,
and from another Fahlerz ore yielded 1857
ounces of silver to the ton.
By the latest mail advices l hear OF
samples from some tons of ore taken
from a Whyte river claim yielding as
follows: Galena No. l specimen, 451
ounces silver and 40 per cent. lead;
galena No. 9, 521 ounces silver and II
per cent. lead; "black pug $50 ounces

Apples in Western New York.

Now that the cold winds of winter are
beginning to blow over us, the apple
buyers are quietly storing away quanti-
ties of fruit to put on the market later
on. This years crop has been fairly
good one for an off year, and the price
of apples during the winter will be
within reach of every one, it is said.
Despite the unpromising outlook during
the summer months, growers have pro-
duced enough to supply the home de-
mand.
Erie county is behind in her annual
production perhaps, but Niagara, Or
leans, Genesee, Monroe and adjoining
counties will make up the deficit. In
the western states apples are said to be
scarce, but in the eastern, particularly
Massachusetts and New Hampshire,
quite quantity have been bought up.
The exports this year will be light.
Commission merchants say the year has
been especially good for pears and
qulnces.-Buffalo Express.

How TInpno sahib Died.

Il. q, Keeue has found in the diary of
his late father an interesting description
of the storming of Seringapatam, at
which he was present on May 4, 1899.
Captain Keene, who was nephew of
General Harris, then commander in
chief, seems to have gathered from pris-
oners full details of the last moments of
our once redoubtable enemy, Tippoo
Sahib. In his entries, which have been
forwarded for publication to the Cal
cutta Review, he says:
"Tippoo sat at his dinner till one Of his
servants told him that the English were
coming, and they presently appeared.
This was the head of the left hand col
umn. He sent off a servant to the place
to bring up the troops, seized his rifle
and shot one of the first three who came
on in front. Another was killed by a
shot from the bastion behind. The third
still advancing, Tippoo cried out, These
are devils; two are killed and the third
comes on He fled, only to find him
self hemmed in between two columns.
He fought bravely, When he fell wound
ed an officer was about to say who he
was. Tippoo frowued and put his fingers
to his lips. He then made blow at a
sergeant and cut into the barrel of his
tirelock. The sergeant killed him with
his bayonet, and the body was soon Gov
cred by the slain"
. 1t has been said that the success of the
assault was necessary to the existence of
the besieging army under General Band,
and Captain Keene's diary confirms this.
