Something for Fishermen.

A Chicago firm is now offering the
public something in the shape of a
trolling hook, which, it is said, will
revolutionize the art of trolling for
large game fish, such as muskallonge,
large species Of bass, ETC., says an ex-
change. 1t is no experiment, having
been patented in 1882. A large number
made by hand have stood severe tests
in marsh moss, hly pads and brush
fishing with wonderful success. The
affair consists of three hooks, which
work with spring and are folded up,
the tips being placed in small scoop.
BY the side of the scoop is ANAL hange.
A fish in striking hits the f1ange, causing
the hooks to fly apart, with the result
that it is-almOst impossible tor the game
to escape.

The HeliOgrAph.

With all its superiority in distances the heliograph IS too uncertain for sole reliance. A passing cloud is sufficient to interrupt the clearest signals, per haps in the critical moment of a battle, or a sun haze may render invisible the rays from the largest mirror, so that at any time without clear atmosphere the system is useless.
 It is not known that the photographic system has ever been in use on ship board, and the sea service has nothing for daylight signaling that approaches its accomplishment in dry atmospheres. For night service at sea the flashlight appears to be the best system of signal ing in all weatht rs, though on rare oc- casions the long beaa of tEe electric searchliGbt thrown up on the sky has proved effective for communication when it was lCssible by no other means. An instance of such use was reported 6 few years ago by two British ships. which while on opposite sides of high promontoIy nine miles ill W idth orened communication with each other by means of GOt and dash flashes OH the sky from their searcL ligh Lippin- COtt'e

Boucicault and His Hair.

Boucicault for a number of years used to dye the little fringe of hair he had, and it generally took on all the hues of the rainbow, much resembling Tittlebat Titmouse's experience in col bring his hair.
 I was standing in front of the Union Square theater one day after rehearsal with the late Charles R. Thorne, Jr.. and Joe Polk, writes Owen Fawcett and we were arguing the question who should "buy, when along came Bouci- cault, as chipper as ever. Of course he must stop, ask all the news and have . chat, for he was a most entertaining man and we'll worth listening to. On his preparing to leave Polk said, "Mr Boucicault. I do not wish to insult you, but l wish to congratulate you on one thing.
 Mot a bit of it, my boy," said Boucy. What is it, Polk?'
 ''I see that you have given over dye ing your hair or what little hair you had, and you do not know how much better it makes you look"
 "Yes, said Boucicault, "I have found out one thing, and that is in all the years have been foolish enough to paint my hair was only deceiving one person, and that one was myself. Good day. boys. "-Detroit Free Press

One Divided by Nauxhs.

Four men sitting together were con- hding to one another their general ig- norance of the matter contained in text books. One said he had studied algebra for three years, but he would find it Impossible to solve the simplest prob lem by an algebraic process. Another said he had been counted a good student In geology, and yet he doubted if he could name the principal periods in their proper order.
 "Now let's see how much you do know," said one of the men. "How much is one divided by naught or nothing?"
 "One divided by nothing?'' repeated the man at his right. "Why, that's one. If one isn't divided by anything, 1t remains one."
 "I think the answer is nae>'ng." said another. "One divided by nothing is-nothing. Sure, that's right"
 "You're the worst I ever heard, said the man who had given the prob- lem. "One divided by nothing-that means how many times is nothing con- tained in one. It is contained an infinite number of times, and the correct an swer is-infnity.
