The Run Heavy About Block lsland-Nsw De-
vice Tor Catching Them.

The fall run Of mackerel around BLOCK
Island is Unusually heavy. The fish are
large, too. but SO shy that the old ways OF
taking them with hook and line, drift
nets and seines. each of which proved
successful in its turn, have failed. About
four wears ago, the eastern mackerel fish
ing fell off largely for this reason. This
but they are just AS cunning, and while
the catch exceeds by far the catch for
Athe same. period Of last year. the number
of fish taken Is as nothing compared with
the number of fish seen
Many Of the mackerel that are now be-
ing taken by the Block Island fleet of
entirely new device. The tools are two
long poles affixed to the schooners side,
a deep, loose. square bag net of fine mesh,
and plenty of stosh, or fish bait. One Of
the poles is swung out from the star
board fore rigging like a boom at right
angles to the vessel and on level with
the deck. This boom is IS feet long. At
a trifie shorter, is swung out near the
main rigging in a similar manner.
The bag net is stretched on these
booms, which are placed about So feet
apart. This distance is the length of the
net on its inner edge. The outer edge is
made fuller and is weighted with lead
after boom is lowered down until its outer
end and most of the net are concealed I'M
der water. Freshly ground stosh is
thrown into the capacious NAV Of the
bait and when they swim thickly enough
the after boom is hoisted until the outer
edge of the net is above water and the
fish are imprisoned.
The fish are then bailed aboard the YES
sell The old fishermen assert, however,
that the true mackerel are not taken by
this device, as they get away promptly
at the first upward move of the net. but
the voracious bulls eye mackerel fell an
e.asy prey The schooner StOwell Sher-
man took 165 barrels of mackere in this
way the other day. and all the mackerel
craft hereabout have been or are being
equipped with the new apparatus.
A novel device that may lead to the en-
tire notwithstanding of the mackerel fish
ing is to be tried by Portland fishermen
steamer Bradley from Provincetown. Her
commander. Jonathan Chase, has con-
trived an electrical apparatus which. he
thinks, will lure the mackerel. He has a
dynamo in his boat to which fre,n is attached
ineandescent light bulbs These bulbs
lights turned on. This. 1t is believed will
draw the mackerel by night in such num-
bers as to make the SEEMING of them easy
and profitable.

A certain prince of Orange was gen.

the last century. He fought against the
French in Italy, died, and was buried
at Padua (l799). For four years the
Dutch government has been in treaty
for the princes remains and after an
endless amount Of diplomatic negotia-
tions and correspondence matters were
arranged, Dutch man-of-war arrived
in Venice, and, after another three
weeks delay, surmounting the last diff
ficulties raised by the church and red
tape of the Italian government, last
Thursday was the day fixed for opening
the tomb and conveying the remains to
Venice, to be transported by the man-of
