Ben Hall. now lies dead in the morgue
at this place, having been killed this af-
ternoon near Coram. thirty miles east Of
hear. j. 2. Gensman and Joe Fitzpat-
rick brought the dead body of the bandit
in on passenger train tonight. To a
correspondent Gensman told the follow

Time, that great panacea for all

Sation to Sam Brodie in the intimate
possession of the once sighted Bessie

gained the victory over Sans weaker

good faith, that he would not exchange
his wife for Godfather Green's for

Godfather Green was not in so en-
viable condition: he soon reached the
time, when. under the iron rod of the
new Mrs. Green, his real sufferings
caused his ina inary disorders to be
forgotten.
Even Cecilia, with her ambition for
money mere than satisfied, her wishes

IN A BLUEFTSH SMACK.
Noble Sport and a Pleasant Way to
Spend a Vacation.

Off to the southwest, hidden behind
the horizon, lies the jersey coast;
while behind the bank of clouds to
the northward is concealed the low
shore of Long Island. The seventy
foot bluefiSh smack tugs at her anchor
as she rises and falls. Almost in uni
son bob and duck the eight little dor
les that are clustered about the smack
within a radius of less than half
mile. Overhead are screaming gulls.
In each dory is a smackman fishing.
On the schooner captain and cook are
also handling lines.
Each dOry contains small tub full
Of an oily mush of ground up men
baden, prepared by a machine not un-
like that used to cut UP hay for horses.
This is every once in a while scattered
with wooden ladle broadcast over the
waters. 1T forms a ''slick" which
drifts far to leeward, says the New
York Press, and attracts about the
boat from which it comes the blue
fish which are in it's vicinity. The bait
used on the quickly following hooks
as far as possible from the dory and
Rapidly hauled in again. The fishing
is kept up until the smack is loaded.
At the end of each days work the
fish are cleaned and packed away on
ice. Sometimes in a single days fish
ing the dories will bring in from 800
to 400 fish apiece. Often, however, the
bluefish will disappear before the
smack is loaded. Then the smack
must sail away in search of another
school, and it frequently happens that
days will pass before one will be
sighted.
The duration of a smack's trip is
from a week to two weeks. From g.
600 to 5000 fish make a catch. The
port of departure and haven which
the smack endeavors to reach Thurs
day afternoon or Friday morning is
Fulton market. In this way it is that
the bulk Of the bluefsh, which New
York eats on a Friday, are caught.
One in search of absolute rest, a sea
voyage and unsurpassed sport can
find nothing better than a trip on

vegetables and delicious fish, served
as they only know how, are to be had
at every meal. Very reasonable terms
can be made with the captain of any
Fulton market smack for such a trip.
The powerful blue-backed, white
beliied wolf Of salt water, as the blue
fish has been called, is migratory in
his habits, and roams from Florida
to Maine. In different sections he is
known under different names. The
swapping mackerel of the south, the
bluefish of the middle Atlantic states
and the skip-jack of New Engand are
one and the same. He preys upon
smaller fish and visits our coasts in
immense schools in search of his food.
From the middle of July to October
he is to be found in the waters with
in reach of this city.

'Odel's question, which was simple
| whether boys who ''excel' in athletes
"are. as a rule, equal to their COM
panions in school work and at examina-

obtained to show that on the subject
generally there is considerable diver

Mr.. Lee of Christ's hospital, says that
good athletes hold their own in school
work, and Hart Smith, of EPSON
college agrees, while Mr.. Weldon de-
clares that the experience at Harrow
Is that there is no necessary sever

and work. Mr.. Gilks of Dulwich also
does not find that boys who excel in
sports are behind their companions in
examinations; DR.. Wickham. of Well

and in school works by no means in
compatible" and Mr.. Selwyn, of In
plngham, refers to the high places in
school won by his athletes. This kind
OF testimony, however, is far from be-
ing unanimous. DR.. Shelley, consulting
medical officer at Halleybury, for ex-
ample, declares that it is a rarely

proficiency in both is the true rule

knowledges that athletics in our public
schools have now been brought to such

IF THE OCEAN WE'RE DRY.

Suppose the ocean bed were empty,
world have to pour themselves into it
before it was filed again, presuming
there was no loss by evaporation?
Answer. This question, or one very
like it, has gone the rounds for a
good while. It's terms seem to infer
that some things have been forgotten
in formulating it, as will be seen. The
ocean and seas on the surface of the
globe, representing 145,OOO,OOO square
miles, with an average depth of 1000
fathoms, are calculated to contain g.
270,60O billions tons of water. If this
were all evaporated and the basins left
dry, it has been computed that, at the
rate of SO cubic miles per day the
estimated flow Of all the rivers in the
world, it would occupy $4,000 years
to replace and create complete circuit
of the whole of the seas as they at
present stand. But this requires a fur
Their assumption, namely, that the riv-
ers would continue to flow with their
present capacity, which would, in fact,
be impossible, if the ocean bed were
empty and dried up. If such a thing
happened the river beds would soon
follow suit and be also empty, as the
sea is their great source of water sup
ply. 1t is estimated that every year
layer of the entire ocean, IA feet
thick, is taken up into the clouds,
and returns to the earth in the shape Of
rain, keeping its springs and rivers
supplied with water. Stop this sup
ply and the rivers of tt world would
soon be mere dribbles Of water, which
would shortly and quickly disappear,
rendering it impossible for them ever
again to fill the sea to its present ex-
tept.-Brooklyn Eagle.
