New Zealand Trout.

The classic ground of New Zealand
fishing is i'll the South island, chiefly in
the rivers which come tearing down
to the east coast from the great central
range of the southern Alps-those ter
rible snow waters which have given to
drowning the name of New Zealand
death, " today a mere thread in wide
desert of shinglc, tomorrow fast and
furious torrent tapping over a mile of
trestle bridge. 1t is in these rivers
above all that the trout grow to be
monsters.
1t was in one of them that one rod in
single night took 10 fish, weighing
81 pounds. 1t was in a lake at the head
of one of them that there was Noted a
trout of 80 pounds. But these huge fish
have contracted the despicable habit Of
refusing to take fly and must be en-
trapped with minnow or live bait, and
that, too, at night. In the lakes the
monsters refuse to look at any lure Of
fered them by man.
We have seen them cruising about Of
an evening picking up white moths, but
we never yet heard that any man had
succeeded in capturing one with rod,
and having ourselves failed disastrously
in the attempt we are, of course, the
foremost to maintain the feat to be i'm,
possible. But in the smaller tributaries
the trout will take the artificial fly, and
these are the streams preferred by the
enthusiast, Macmillan Magazine.

Six Cameras In One,

A sextuple Photographic telescope has
just been completed for the Yale observa-
tories which may revolutionize the pres
ent astronomical methods and lead to
valuable new discoveries. Having six
cameras instead of one, the new tele-
scope can cover field in the sky equal
to that which would be occupied by
?, 400 full moons With this wonderful
gain of perspective not only does it seem
probable that it may reveal new facts
relating to meteoric heights, but that it
may cast new light upon the moon as a
living world. Enlargement of the mega
tives of the Lick observatory revealed
last year the existence of new lunar
crater, and the Arequipa observatory
has discovered evidences Of actual phys
ical change. Buffalo Commercial.

An Ingenious Boy.

Johann Meyer, II years old, one of
the wickedest boys i'll Vienna, had been
spanked many times for running away.
Finally, to enable him to crafty his
desire to escape, late at night he stole
the big doorkey, sawed the handle
through, filed the ends as sharp as a
needle point, drew them through the
skin of his waist and then hammered
them together, and the key hung from
his body like a ring from the nose of a
savage. He was thus enabled, by stand
ing on chair, to open the door and
leave the house whenever he liked. This
went on for weeks until he got in a
fight with other bad boys and was hit a
heavy blow where tho key was. He was
taken senseless to a hospital, and the
doctors were unable to remove the key
till they sawed it in two. The boy IS
life was i'll danger for several days, but
now it is expected that he will live to
be spanked many times more. Vienna

DUEL TO THE DEATH.
A Quarrel Over Farm Work Ends
Most Disastrously.

A Quarrel Over Farm Work Ends
Most Disastrously.
Portland, Or. Oct. 15.-In Lake coun-
ty in the southern part of this state,
Ed Donovan and John Vineyard.
neighboring ranchers, engaged in a
duel that ended in Vineyards death.
The news was brought to Lake View
by Donovan himself, who came into
town and gave himself up.
Donovan'S' statement, substantially
corroborated by witnesses, is as fol-
lows:
Vineyard and Donovan ouarreled
over some farm work. The former &C.
cused Donovan of not returning some
borrowed harness and implements.
Suddenly Vineyard became enraged,
saying:
You lying bastard, I'll fix you,'' and
with this he pushed his left hand be-
hind him and drew a revolver. Dono-
van, who was unarmed, hardly realized
what was transpiring until he saw the
pistol in Vineyards hand. He then
jumped for CARROTS rife, which was
leaning up against the stack, probably
five or six feet from where Donovan
was standing. They were about twen-
ty or thirty feet apart, and as Dono-
van sprang for the rife, Vineyard fired,
but missed his mark and then jumped
behind Garrett.
Garrett got out of the way in an in
slant, and then the two men COM
menced firing and started toward each
other. Donovan says he has no idea
how many shots were fired. Finally
Vineyard fell to the ground with a bull
let through his heart and Donovan es-
capped without injury
