Origin of the Fables Concerning the VOL
VERNE "Child of the Devil.
The trials endured by the luckless
hunter, whose track was once discov-
cred by this monster, are frequently
recounted. Day after day would the
hunter visit his traps, only to find the
ruinous work of his four-footed enemy,
who, not satisfied with robbing the oc-
casional prize, would often, simply for
the morsel of bait, completely destroy
scores of traps. Hence arose the stories
of trapping the fiend No deadfall,
snare or spring gun ever injured this
''evil one," and it does not require a
vivid imagination to trace the growth
of fiction, when we consider the i'm
pulsive coureur de bois, after the toll
of setting his chain of traps and visit
ing them with the result above referred
to, allowing himself to believe that he
was verify beset by the devil, and at
the campfire, or, better still. as the
honored guest of some credulous set
tier, unfolding and enlarging upon his
experiences. These stories, however,
become comprehensive when we re-
member that the track through the
deep snow, beaten by the snowshoes of
the hunter in his rounds, formed an in
viting highway along which the short
limbed quadruped could freely travel.
while it soon learned that a journey of
a few miles meant the picking up of a
substantial meal which some kind
friend had carefully placed in sheltered
hooks as if regardful of its wants; for
the traps of those days were mostly
notifications of the ''deadfall,' and re-
quired but limited strength and cum
ming to circumvent-Horace T. Martin,

Electric Suntroke.

French doctors have been attempting
to find a remedy for what has been
termed electric sunstroke. IAN ailment
in which the trouble arises not from
heat SO much as light. This peculiar
affection frequently befalls workmen
employed in melting metals by means
of the electric process 1t appears
from observations made at steel and
iron works that the intense voltaic arc
between the carbon and the metal to
be melted emit rays which, even at a
distance of thirty feet, produce pain
full, hot, pricking sensation, like that
of burn on such uncovered portions
of the body as the throat, face, and,
more especially, forehead The skin
of the parts affected becomes either
copper colored or assumes a bronze
hue; the eyes, in spite of black glasses,
are so intensely dazzled as to be use
less for some minutes, after which an
thopsia yellow vision) sets in. Every
thing appears saffron-colored, the con-
gritty feeling as of sand under the
eyelids. There is frequently great
pain, also sleeplessness, and in some
cases fever. 1t is now found that the
surest and quickest cure for this affec-
tion is perfect rest in a su bdued light.
Under these conditions the symptoms
subside, usually in few days the skin
of the affected part peels, and the pa
tient is restored to health.-Chicago

NEW YoRk's FISH MARKET.
A Lenten Scene In the Busy Metropolis of
the East.

Lenten Scene In the Busy Metropolis of
the East.
In all New York city there is only
one wholesale fish market It has
water and street frontage adjoining
the Fulton Ferry on the East river side
of the city. and it is directly opposite
the famous old Fulton market This
season of the year is harvest time in
this industry, for when the Lenten
period comes there is rush of fishing.
sm2cks from aii along the upper At
lantic coast to the markets dock.
Thousands of crates and barrels of fish
from the great lakes and the far south
arrive; and the early hours of the morn
ing, especially on Friday, with a block.
ade of streets for radius of a quarter of
mile, take on an activity that is sup
posed to exist only in the summer when
the peach season is at hand, and the
truck farmers, with their teams and
produce, turn night into day, and
swarm over acres upon acres of New
York's streets.
More picturesque is this night mart
in winter than in summer On the
wafer siue OI UHe mar rket, packed anu
wedged close in the dock, are the ice
coated vessels, the steamy vapor of the
river rising in jets in the open spaces
between the smacks and a score or
more of temporary bridges running
from deck to deck and thence to the
piers, over which the fishermen and
helpers, clad in oil-skin garb. rush the
cargoes from hold to market stalls.
Some of the catch brought in is alive,
and is sent splashing and squirming
with much confusion, shouting, and
calling, into the tanks that lie in the
river close up to the market Some of
the catch is dead, frozen stiff, and this
is quickly transferred to troughs and
slabs and made presentable for sale.
On the street side express wagons push
and crowd up in the snow and slush,
and the police have more than they
can do to straighten ont the tangle in
the babel of shouting drivers. The
horses steam like the river, and the
electric lights shine through night
haze that is like an oncoming fog
