LIANTLY LIGHTED WITH ELECTRICITY
SUBMARINE FISHING THROUGH AUTOMATIC VALVES

like as to invent this submarine marvel

OF all watermcn, a good fishing ground
and here fishing is managed rs an Ar
cadia-a perfectly governedaffair.
By the most ingenious arrangement OF
wires and lines it is possible for the
fisherman within the glass house and
his friends TO throw i line out valve

tomaticany an outer valve. Only n
small quantity OF water flows into the
ot.ening Into this the sportsman throws
his line. It has no sinicr upon IL, but
is freightcd with enough cork TO hit IL
nalt way up to the surface. The INSIDE
valve Is now closed and the outside one
opens automatically, and the line is IN
the water.
Strong electric lights are now turheh
on and the fish come swimming arouhu'

is opened and the line pulled in. The outer
valve now closes and the fish is pulled
in through the inner opening. The finest
fishing is done in this way
SCIENTIFIC FISHING.
Fishing is also done from the surface
OF the water. True sports In league

is lowered until it touches the glass roof.
The tpnspIrators below have been watch

a flood or electric light within the house.
Quick as a flash the fish come Hooking

have been made i'll tins way, and the en-
thusiastic owner is stocking his preserve
with many new varieties OF fresh water
fish, expecting rarer sport next year.
In the way of spectacular effect this
house is a seven-day wonder. Brilliant
cOlored tights can flood 1t, electric wires
can be sent out into the water with fine
effect. fish can be shocked, and a very
tempest In teapot, raised to within
the few hundred cubic feet of water where
the house stands.
As a contribution to science this little
house in the lake is valuable as afford
ing n field for experiment. Divers can
be sent down and the exact action of
the water upon the diving apparatus can be
observed, and miniature torpedo boats can
be lowered and raised, and the difficulties
of locnmotion carefully observed from tile
glass sides of the house. As a means of
warfare it is useless. for glass could not

inventor has presented marine architects
with an instrument Tor which they must be
grateful. Submarine lighting, air supply
locomotion and even submarine heating
can be studied, not to mention the unpre
cedented opportunities for observing the
habits of fish and discovering new aquatic
species-an opportunity Invaluable to the
naturalist.
The inventor has in mind a marvellous
structure in the heart of forest, but
it is doubtful if his operations on land car

DRIy ING DEER TO CAMP.
Hunters DO Not Shoot Their Game
ut Distance From Home.
Netr York San

Tired hunters long way from home,
with a wounded deer i'll front OF them have
sometimes been able to drive their deer
toward camp to save themselves the labor
OF carrying il. John Jones, OF Northwood,
". Y, has such a story, which he tells when
sitting before the camp fire or as he
pumps the bellows IN his blacksmith shop.
When he was young man the deer were
plenty across the creek half-mile from
his fathers house. He used to go over
there hunting, and seldom failed to get a
deer. One fail, very late in the season, he
was wadding through foot OF snow, stll
hunting. He had no luck till along about
the middle OF the afternoon, when he was
on his way do W stream through the woods
While going across IA gully nigh up on
log lie saw a little oval spot four rods away
IN n clupip OF brush. Only still hunter
would have seen it. He got his rifle ready
aud said, "Sb-b!' The spot leaped up, and
a luli-grown buck made a dash up the
gully bank but a bullet hit it in the hips
aud almost disabled it. Jones loaded his
gun and started after it. Hessaw that ii
was badly hurt, aud 81 Was in no hurry to
kill it, for the deer was headed in the
direction he wanted to go. The deer grew
SO weak that the hunter got up To 1t and
made the deer run on. He cut birch
switch aud succeeded in driving the poor
beast clear down to the slip banks, where he
killed aud dressed it.
Charles Albertson writes to Recreation
telling how he failed to drive a deer that
he had wounded. lie had got shot, break
ing a forward leg of the deer, and his dog,
after a long cha sc, and bfOupntlt 10 lay.
Then Albertson conceived the idea of
driving 1t to camp. He tied rope about
its horns, and with switch endeavored
To- force it along. But The deer. coincred
and wounded, was desperate. 1t low cred

Uptil very lately the canning firms have had
much trouble in getting nd of the shells,

however, they have been able 10 sell them.
They ar. SOW shipped tn all parts of the

THE STATUS OF THE SENATE The Gold Forces Will Not Con-
 troI the Body BUTT WILL BE A STAND0FF
If Later Developments Do Not Change the
 Face of Affairs.
NORTH DAKoTA WILL EJECT A slLvERITE
According to Advices the House will Stand: Republicans 2l4, "Sound Money" Dem- ocrats 3, Democrats lls, Silver Repub-
 licans, Populists and Fusionists 23.

New York, Nov. 6.--The developments of the past twelve hours in the contested congressional fields have been few, but in one respect, important. They practically demonstrate that the gold forces will fail to control the senate in the Flfty-fifth congress, which control yesterday was deemed probable. At that time the ap- parent. division of the forces was as fol- lows:
 Gold republicans, g; silver democrats, 26; populists, g; total, A; majority for gold, four.
 One of the gold votes in that table was credited to North Dakota, but it now appears that the legislature of that state will elect free silverite to succeed Sem ator Hansbrough. To emphasize the truth of this fact, Representative Picker who made the campaign as candidate for senator, has announced his with drawal from the contest.
 This will make the senate tie be- tween the gold and silver forces, and should Senator Dubois assertion of last spring-that no financial or tariff legisla- ton should be accomplished that did not provide for the free coinage of silver remain in force in the next congress, and there be no individual changes of attitude on the subject by senator's there is but llttle Likelihood that anything will be done in that direction for another two years.
 According to advices the house will stand: Republicans, 214, sound money democrats, 2 democrats, 118; silver re- publicans, populists and fusionists, 23
 The delegations of the following states, consisting of more than one member, will be solid in the next house:
 Democrats-Arl1ansas Florida, Geor, gia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Caro- lima, Washington.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 6.-The weather was ideal for racing and the attendance at Cumberland Park today was large. All the betting choices won over slow track, although only two decided favor ties crossed the winning line in front of their fields. They were both at odds in the betting, Boomer, who won the six furlong dash being 1 to 5 chance, as she far outclassed her field. Miss Bram- ble, who galloped home winner in the last race, a five-furlong scramble for youngsters, went to the post at 4 to 5 In the betting.

When the re- organization was effected at a meeting held in Topeka the opponents of the re- organization plan, headed by Henry Clews & Co. and Newman Erb, made a strong effort to prevent it. However, the stockholders, of whom MT. B. P.

The Count Finished Without Further
 egislature Democratic.
 Wilmington, Del. Nov 6.-The counting up of the returns for this county was finished by the men on the adding ma- chimes at 7:30 o'clock this evening. No disorder occurred after o'clock this morning. The sheriff had a big force of deputies on hand all day to keep the crowds out of the court house. The re- suit of the count showed that Finn, re- publican, for sheriff, had his vote mixed as compared with the figures given out by the election officers after the polls closed. The last count showed he had but 1S2 plurality against 1,021 returned by the election officers. The result in the state on president now stands: McKin- ley 20,452; Bryan, 16,615; Palmer, 956; Lev ering, 6O2. McKinley's plurality 3,837.
 James G. Shaw, Mckinley elector, whose name had "senior'' added on one ticket in New Castle county, was count ed as two, but the vote in Kent and Sussex counties gave him more than the lowest man on the ticket and he is elect ed. The vote for congress was: Handy, democrat, 16,512; Willis union republican, 12,S2S; Hobson, republican, 7,1S6; Bayard, sound money, 933. Handys plurality, 36S4. t
 The vote for governor resulted: Tun- nell, democrat, 16,604: Hoffecker, union republican, 12,OOo; Higgins, republican. e,997; Tunnels plurality 3,933

JOHN H. LYMAN.
 New York, Nov. 6.-The funeral of John H. Inman, late rapid transit commission er who died yesterday morning at little country inn in the Berkshire Hills, will occur today. The body arrived in this city at 12:30 o'clock this morning and was taken to MT. Inman's home at No. 847 Fifth avenue.
 MT. Inman had been travelling in the mountains for his health since July last, first in the Adirondacks and the Lake Champlain region and later in the Berk- shire Hills. He was suffering from an acute form of indigestion, which recently brought on heart trouble. Pneumonia set in on Monday, and the end came so quick ly that MT. Inman's family did not reach his bedside before his death, which oc- cured at 9:30 o'clock yesterday morning.
 The members of the New York cotton exchange met at 3:30 o'clock this after noon and took action regarding the death of Mr Inman
