CHAPTER VI.

AS JdCh nan was opCdhlh6y 1OAl
Baynes happened to be passing the
open door with an armful of plates
and dishes, and these he suddenly let
fall with crash upon the ground.
Dear me-" cried Mrs. Hall, "how
dreadfully careless of you, Tom! How
are we to replace them? What could
you have been thinking about?'
81 am so very sorry, ma'am." he re-
piled. II must have slipped on some
thing-I really don't know how" and
he leaned up against the veranda-post,
looking as though but for that support
he would have fallen down.
well, there-don't look so scared,
mani" said Mr.. Hall good-naturedly.
"Pick up the pieces-why, the lad
looks quite frightened. There are
worse accidents than that at sea-ay,
and on shore, too. for the matter of
that!"
Baynes did as he was told, but he
had turned white to the very lips. AS
he walked away with the broken
crockery in his cooks apron, he re-
peated to himself
cay, and on shore, too, for the mat
ter Of that"
! tirement ceased to excite much Curl
osity. She was an idiot, she was too
ugly to face the daylight, she was any
thing that could possibly be suggested
whenever her name was mentioned;
but Baynes was voted by all hands to
be an obliging fellow and a capital
cook, SO the men soon ceased to worry
him about his wife.
One day Baynes asked permission to
be allowed to repair and occupy an old
hut which stood in bit of neglected
garden upon the hillside some two
hundred yards or more from the mems
quarters. Mr. Hall told him he might
do as he pleased so, with the assist
ance of one of the men, he took pos
session Of the place, and very soon
managed to make it snug and COM
Portable.
Thither he removed his few goods
and chattels, including Mrs. Baynes;
but at what hour he made the exodus
was never known, for the first intima-
ton the station had of his having left
his old quarters was the smoke issuing
from the chimney of the renovated hut
early the next morning.
Mrs. Hall had. by her husbands ad-
vice, ceased to offer to call upon Mrs
Baynes.
"The woman is queer, or a great In
valid" he remarked. "Her husband
suits me we'll enough, and she does
your needlework. Why worry about
her? Leave well alone is my ad-
vice."
Mrs. Hall found il extremely con-
venient to have woman upon the sta
ton, even II she did choose to remain
invisible, AS Tom Baynes had at firsi
stated, his wife was not quick at heI
work, but was wonderfully skillful
needlewomau, and she saved Mrs Hal
many a weary hours darning.
One evening In the middle Of April
some five months after Tom Baynes
arrival. he was sitting In the kitchen
with some of the men. when a swags
man carrying bundle slung on sticl
walked up to the door and asked fol
nights lodging.
Looking for a job, mater" asket
one Of the men. as he glanced up from
his game Of euchre.

How TO CATCH CATERPILLars.-
The farmers in the Catskill district
are rejoicing over the discovery Of
a means for combating a pest OF
caterpillars by which their or
chards are being destroyed. The
cure is as simple as it is novel, but
It is declared to be entirely effec-
tive. The discovery, like many
others which have astonished the
world. was the result Of an acci-
dent. A woman belonging to the
town OF Catskill happened to blow
horn underneath a tree, when
she was surprised to see hundreds
OF caterpillars fall from the boughs.
She blew another blast, and there
was another shower OF the little
creatures. She fastened to tell
others how she had found out the
way 20 fetch the pests off the trees,
and whole sections Of the people
turned out with drums. bugles,
whistle pipes, and every other
noise producing instruments in the
town. The caterpillars, unable,
tits declared, to resist the influence
Of the noise, continued to fall in
showers to the ground, and were
s. Il fher for destruction.

DEEP SEA CURRENTS "A series
of observations with a deep sea
current meter, carried out in the
large Strait OF Bah ell Mandeb by
the officers OF II. M. surveying
vessel Stork, are referred to by
the photographer in his report.
The observations, which are valu.
able as bearing on the system oi
circulation in the oceans, have
been published in a report on the
under currents of the Straits on
Babel l-Mandeb; but the broad re-.
suit may be briefly stated. There
was a Perman current on the
surface setting into the Red Sea oil
about "a knots an hour. There
was at Ios fathoms deep a perma.
nent current Of about the same
velocity setting out wards. The
tidal stream was about n knot at
its maximum, and flowed for about
twelve hours each way, as might be
expe ected from the fact that in this
locality there is practically only
one tide in the day. This tidal
stream prevails to the bottom with
variations of Gtrcngth. Some
where about IS fathoms below the
surface is the dividing line between
the two permanent currents, but
there were not sufficient observa-
tions to determine the exact depth
with any precision. -NatHr<.

DEVOTION OF A FISH,
1t Follows Its Owner Around After
the Manner of q Dog.
From the London Sketch.


A gentleman walking one evening In the
park at Durham, the scat of the Earl of
Stamford and Warrington came 10 a pond
Whefe Hsn intended for the table were
temporarily kept. He took particular no
tice of fine pike. of about six pounds
weight, which, when il observed him, dart
ed hastily away In so doing ii struck us
head against a tenter hook in a port (of
which there We're several in the pond
placed to prevent poaching) and fractured
its skull thereby turning the optic nerve
on one side
The anguish evinced by the fish appear
ed most horrible. Il rushed TO the bottom
and boring its head into the mud, whirled
Itself around with such velocity that 1t
was almost lost to sight for a short in
terval 1t then plunged about the pond
and at length threw Itself completely out
of the water on to the bank
The doctor caught the fish and upon ex-
animation found that very small portion
of the brain was protruding from The frac-
ture in the skull. He carefully replaced
this and with small silver toOthDicl
raised the indented portion of the skull
The fish remained still for a short time
and he then put it again into the pond
Ii appeared a first a good deal relieved
but in a few minutes it again darted and
plunged about until it threw Itself out
of the water a second time. A second time
the gentleman did what he could 10 relieve
il, and again put it into the water The
pike continued for several times to throw
itself out of the pond. and, with the as
s.stance of the keeper, the doctor at length
made kind of trepan for the fish, which
was then left in the pond to it's fate
Upon making an appearance az the pond
The following morning, the pike came to
the edge of the water and actually lad its
head upon the physicians foot The doc
tor thought this most extraordinary: but
he examined the hsh's skull and found il
going on all right He then walked back
ward and forward along the edge of the
pond for some time and the fish continued
TO swim up and down, turning Whenever
he turned; but being blind on the wounded
side of his skull il always appeared agi-
tated when it had that side toward the
bank, as it could not then see its benofac-
tor.
Next day the doctor took some young
friends down to see the fish. which came
to him as before. and al length he net
ually taught the pike to come to him at
his whistle and feed out of his hands.
With other persons il continued as shv
as fish usually are
This was q most remarkable case Of
