he remembered how his father used to
tell him that blacksnakes were very
expert In catching fish. He, therefore,
grabbed the reptile by the tail, Gu :rled
It to the river, and held 1t over the
struggling fish. The snake proved itself
q born angler, and In the course Of an
hour the man had captured forty fine

looking down, he saw his friend, the

Telesraphing by Induction.

Only recently the public has learned
much. through the experiments of W.
H. Preece. of what can be done in the
way of telephoning to distant points
by induction alone; that is. by dispen.
sing with intermediate wires. This
principle Of electric induction has now
been APPLIED by J.. Wimshurst to solve
the problem Of establishing telesraphic
communication between a lightship and
the shore. The difficulty of maintain
ing a cable between the shores and q
swinging and tossing lightship Is well
known, and MIR. Wimhurst makes no
attempt to secure his communication
by this means. Instead. he employs
two coils near each other on the swivel
pin of the mornings. one coil connected
by wire to the shore, the other to the
instruments ON board, and the signals
pass between them by induction. leav-

Story Of n Chicago Race Track Cred.
tied by Our English Cousins.
It seems to be an easy matter to hoax
our English cousins, for just now they
are accepting in good faith this yarn
about a race alleged to have been run
at Chicago
There had been a false start, owing
to a mistake made by the man with
the advance flag, and in spite of the
growlings of those who had backed a
black horse that was esteemed 4 ''goOd
thing" and, unlike so many good things
Of which we have had constant expert
ence, won IN a canter by any number
Of lengths, the horses returned to the
post. The starter, much put out, Of
course, ut the catastrophe, took his
place and prepared for business.
>"While he was standing there" the
story goes OF to relate ~ black boy,
| who was so handicapped by lack Of
height that it was impossible for him
to see the race, spied a place Of van
tage between the widespread legs of
the starter. He crept up and soon was
snugly fixed in his place. The starter
happened to glance down and saw the
black face peering into space.
"'Begone, you imp" he cried. and at
the same time hit at the woolly pate
with is flag stick. The advance flag
mai was keen and watchful. He did
not see the negro, but he was conscious
that the starters flag had dipped.
Down went his own again and once
more the field swept away. Once
more all was confusion and once again
the black horse walked home first.
Things were getting serious now.
Hands stealthily sought hip pockets,
and when they emerged they had well
loaded six shooters firmly grasped with
in them. 1t did not make any differ
ence to the crowd whether the starters
flag had fallen or not; the black
horse had won the race twice. and If
there was to be any more running they
would attend to the starting them
selves. In this emergency the starters
were sent to the paddock for q twenty
minutes rest, and while they were
there the race was declared off,"

greatest nation in the world. An
American travelling with a party Of
English people planned an excursion to
a mountain from which a good view

always lead" he exclaimed, looking
