1t is well known that missionaries in
China do a great deal in the way of
alleviating suffering among those who
can not obtain the services of a doctor.
Quite recently Chinaman lost his
sight and some sympathetic neighbors
came and enlisted the services of the
local missionary on his behalf. The
missionary found his patient suffering
from cataract and succeeded in remov-

THE END.
Eyeless Fish in Boiling water.

One of the most remarkable discov-
cries in the shape of a peculiar species
of fish was that made at Carson City.
At that time both the Hale and Nor
cross and the Savage mines were down
to what is known as the 1920 foot
level When at that depth subter-
ranean lake of boiling water was tap
ned. This accident flooded both mines
to a depth of 400 feet. After this wa
ter had all been pumped out, except
that which had gathered in basins and
in the inaccessible portions of the
works, and when the water still had a
Temperature, of 128 degrees-nearly
scalding hot-many queer looking lit"
tie blood-red fish were taken out.
In appearance they somewhat re-
sembled the gold fish. They seemed
lively and sportive enough when they
were in their native element-hoiling
notwithstanding the fact that
they did not even have rudimentary
eyes. When the fish we're taken out of
the hot water and put into buckets Of
cold water, for the purpose of being
transported to the surface, they died
as quickly as a perch or bass would if
plunged into a kettle Of water that
was scalding hot; not only this, but
the skin peeled OF exactly as If it
had been boiled. Eyeless fish are COM
mon enough in all subteFranean lakes
and rivers. but this is the only case
On record Of living fish heiBg found in
boiling water.

Ahanf FIshing.

From remote times men have BEES
6shsrs. The weapons they used to
catch fish have not been preserved to
us in many instances. When the
hooks were made OF stone, wood or
bone they have lasted. Fishhooks OF
sificeeus material have not been found
in America, but hooks of flint. chal-
eedony and bone have been found in
Greenland.
Pieces of bone or wood, sharp at
each end and grooved in the middle
go as to hold line, are still used by
the Eskimos for catching seagulls and
water fowls. A cord of braided grass
is Topped around the fiat piece of bone
or wood
In the Swiss lakes have been found
hooks of bronze and of the tusks OF
the wild boar that belonged to ages
ago. Clipped flint hooks are found
in Sweden. In our northern central
States hoks of copper are occasionally
unearthed.

In Australia they are utilizing the
wire fences to establish telephone
communication between stations six or
eight miles apart. The instruments
are connected to the wire strands, thus
insuring metallic circuit at no ex-
ira expense, for the fences are agri-

in conversing with station fully eight
