A traveller in Rome tells Of citizen
who was evidently too lazy to sit on
the bank of the Tiber and fish after the
manner Of the ordinary fisherman, but
instead arranged his apparatus in the
form of automatic nets, which are made
to revolve by the aid of weights and
the current of the stream, so that it IL
not necessary for him to visit tho spot
oftener than once day. With the aid
OF pneumatic tube to shoot the fish
from the bank to his house il would

LIFE IN THE POLAR SEAS.
Plenty OF Bears, Birds and Narwhals.
Millions Of Fiddlers and Fleas.

Plenty OF Bears, Birds and Narwhals.
Millions Of Fiddlers and Fless.
It is evident, according to Nansen,
that the waters OF the polar seas are far
from being deserted by living creatures.
Wherever the sea Is open or partially so
seals, narwhals and birds abound, and
on the heaps of ice near the edgeof the
water the bears are numerous. Under
the ice marine animals are not wanting.
The explorers found in abundance little
crustaceans. whose discovery was the
result OF an accident.
One day the cook sunk piece of
meat in hole which he had cut in the
ice with view Of thawing it out. That
is a method often resortod to for the
purpose Of sparing the fuel. Forty eight
hours afterward, while taking out the
meat, the cook was astonished to find
an immense number of little animals
that dropped upon the surface Of the ice
and commenced to jump about like
feas. Nansen, who is a professor of
zoology, had no trouble in recognizing
those little crustaceans, which may be
seen jumping in the sand, and which
are called sand fleas He was delighted
at the discovery, because the creatures
are good to eat, although they contain
but little nourishment.
A few months later on, when in 70
or 80 degrees north latitude, in Octo-
ber-that is to say, at the beginning of
the long winter night-he fished up in a
little net with close meshes quantity
Of little crustaceans. This proves that
life is by no means suspended under the
ice; on the contrary, it is very active.
In the mud of the bottom, where the
water is shallow, there are numerous
starfish, mollusks, worms, sponges and
several species OF crustacea. journal

ELEPHANT NOT CLEVER.
The Popular Belief Contradicted by n
English Writer.

The Popular Belief Contradicted by IN
English Writer.
The elephant possesses very charm
ing characteristics and makes a very
pleasant companion. For one thing he
is not easily mislaid, and he is very
obedient to the slightest hint given by
his mahout.
In speed he Is scarcely record break
er, but he can get over the ground in
his shuffling way at the rate Of 10
miles an hour, when he likes.
There is one thing that he is not-he
is not really clever animal, in spite
Of all the tales in the story books to the
contrary; otherwise he would not suffer
himself to be SO easily captured in the
kheddahs, the huge forest Enclosures in
to which the hunters drive the herds Of
elephants for the purpose Of capture.
All the actions which are apparently
spontaneous on the part Of the working
elephant are really performed at the
bidding of the mahout. The driver ON
his neck directs every movement by
pressure Of the knee, and as the man 8
knees are concealed under the elephants g
ears it is very easy to imagine that the
elephant thinks for himself.
When the mahout elects, for change,
to sit on the saddle, or pad, he drives
with his feet, and the dullest eye can
detect how q rub Of the heel ON the
right shoulder turns the elephant to the
left, and vice versa.
After his tractability his gentleness is
the elephants most marked characteris-
tic. The mahout takes cruel advantage
Of his disposition sometimes, thrashing
him on the too nail with q billet Of
wood, or-if free from risk Of discovery
by his European master--pricking his
trunk with spear till blood flows.
An elephant has rarely been known
to retaliate save when it mnst. When
that curious madness comes on him, no
one dares approach him in his pickets
IL he DO taken in must, and the fact es-
cape notice, the consequences are likely
to be awkward at least
In suburb Of Rangun an elephant
belonging to firm Of rice merchants
was one afternoon taken down to the
river for his usual bath after work. He
had, the mahout saidy been dull" oil
day and seemed out Of sorts. Ho was in
must. He signified the fact by seizing
his mahout and tossing the astonished
man into the water; then he ran into

he was made prisoner with the aid of

A new example of the comprehensive

the president of Mexico, has just come
into general notice. Mexican newspa-

Of the treaty of peace between the Mex
lean government and that powerful and
warlike tribe of Indians called the va
Quis, which has never been subdued
since the Spanish conquest Of Mexico
in the sixteenth century, and which has
always until this time refused to recog-
nize the authority of the Mexican re-
public.
They have been ruled by their own
laws, have refused to pay taxes, have
kept all intruders out of their domain,
have got the means of subsistence in the
territory which they inhabit, and have
successfully resisted every attempt TO
subjugate them. All the efforts Of Spain

ment with the Apaches, Cheyennes and
other hostile tribes have been slight
compared to those of Mexico with the
YaQuis.
1t is with these unconquerable peo-
pie that President Diaz, half an Indian
himself, has negotiated q peace that
promises to be lasting. Having failed
to vanquish them by force Of arms, he
adopted policy Of paciication advan-
tageous both to them and to Mexico.
When he learned by experience that the
brigands that infested Mexico could not
be exterminated by any force at his com
mand, he offered TO take them into the
service of the government as armed de-
tenders of the public peace with good
pay. The offer was accepted They
were put in uniform. and they have
been so faithful for years in the per-
formance Of their duties that order has
taken the place of brigandage in Mex

gained that led him to make the ar

George Smith, young man employ
ed as farm hand near Alton, o., tried
to commit suicide Monday night few
miles back of Bellaire, by cutting his
throat. He was out in the country at
tile time, and before he completed the
job tainted.
DR.. Boone. of Bellaire, who attended
him, says that this prevented him from
completing the work and severlug the
iugular vein. Notwithstanding ne
made a terrible cash in his throat, and
required four or five stitches to close
it. Owing to fainting, also, the blood
did not squirt from the wound as it
otherwise would and the would-be sui
eide fortunately did not lose enough
blood to make his injuries fatal AGteT
committing the act Smith fell into
ditch and remained there for number
of hours. He was picked up yesterday
morning by parties coming along the
road, who attended him and bandaSed
his throat somewhat. He was able TO
walk to Bellaire, reaching there at two
o'clock yesterday afternoon and gave
himself up to Officer Crozier, near the
B. & o. bridge on Belmont street.
Smiths clothes were covered with
blood and he was in a very pitiable con-
dition. He was taken to the jail and
Or. Boone sent for and attended to
his injuries.
Smith is still in the Bellaire jail and
is conscious. DR.. Boone says he will
recover, as he fortunately missed the
right jugular by hardly more than
scratch. Smith says he attempted to
end his life because his girl at Alton
had rejected him and refused to re-
ceive his attentions. He says this IS
because he was only getting SIS a month
as farm hand on a farm near Alton.
On his person he had picture and
letter of his sweetheart, who is certain
Iy fne-looking girl. The girl in her
letter, writes a very neat hand and eX-
presses herself very intelligently She
advises Smith not to get respondent but
to keep his job. This was not very

A COMMENTED WOMAN.

The dinner incident in Hoyt's "A
Contented Woman" which causes 50
much laughter wherever it is presented,
was founded on fact. When Mr. Hoyt
was first married to the charming
Caroline Miskel he boosted a good deal
about his abilities as a cook. One day
Mrs. Hoyt purchased a fine silver
chafing-dish. and that night she invited
q number of friends to come TO her
apartments in Boston "to partake of a
WEIGH rare-bit Charley will cook. Mr.
Hovt was equal TO the emergency. He
tried his hand at the deliCaCy, but 1t
was fiat failure. Then. on the sly. he
sent out to the Adams House and had a
DELIGHTFULLY."- gigantic rare-bit sent in
TO him. This he served 10 his guests
and all were high in their praises or
his skill. The next morning a blunder
of his Hibernian cook gave him away.
Mani" she inquired Of Mrs. Hoyt,
"phat am OF to do wild all that putty
that's out there in the kitchen?' In
vestigation revealed the fact that the
putty" was Mr.. Hoyt's intended rare
bit. His duplicity was exposed and
now he boasts no more about his abili-
ties as a chef.
"A Contended Woman" will be given
at the Opera House next Tuesday night.
