Thursday with full fare of cod under

fishing weather augurs we'll for tho sue

ward said today: ''The weather was ex-

we were bothered greatly by fog, which
lowered about US much OF tho time. Cod
and squid were very scarce In May and
June, and many of the fleet left for the
rocks and southern part of the Grand
banks early In the year.
"The Nova Scotia fleet had hard luck

one-quarter fare to vessel. This fleet

IMPROVING THE EYESIGHT.

People who complain that their eyes
get tired while engaged in some close
pursuit, such as writingor sewing, might
try the ingenious invention of a jour
nalist, and placed on the market by a
Glasgow company. Finding that his
eyes became so tired that he could
write only with great difficulty, he hit
upon the plan of having some strips of
colored papers pasted on his desk
close to the inkstand, so that every
time he wanted a dip of ink his eyes
fell upon these colored strips. The re-
suit was surprising, and the inventor
not only avoided the use of glasses,
but also improved his sight.

HAS Tucked FIVE CENTURIES.

Rouen, one of the principal cities OF
France, and the greatest seat of its cot
ton manufacture, possesses the oldest
public clock in the world. The<greaf
Rouen clock has held it's place in that
city for $40 years and is the pride OF
it's citizens. Placed in 1889, it has
been running without interruption
from that day to this, requiring moth
ing except cleaning and a few trifiing
repairs of its accessory parts. The
great clock had SO accustomed the cltl-
zens to look upon it's eXactitude as a
matter of course that when, in1572, the
breaking of a wire prevented its sound
ing 5, O'Clock in the morning, the po-
puletlon was in state of conSterna-
ton.
The magistrates summoned the GUS

strated gravely with him. Until ILL.,
the great clock mad no pendulum. For
323 years it had no other regulator
than 'foliot,. an apparatus unknown
to the majority Of modern clockmakers
The pendulum in clockwork was intro
duced in 1859, but SO we'll satisfied were
the people of Rouen with the time
keeping qualities of their famous old
clock that fifty-three years were allow
ed to pass before a pendulum was sub
stituted for the 'foliot." Equipped with
this new apparatus it has continued
to this day to strike the hours and

TEN CENT CHAIN
Collecting Funds for a
Cuban Memorial.
What the Fund Would Amount to if the Pro
jector's Plans Were Carried
Out,

One of the officers of the Hawaiian
Gazette Company received a letter by
the last mail from a friend in the
States, said letter being in connection
with the chain formed for collecting a
fund to erect memorial to the men
who were killed in Cuban battles and
the heroes of the Maine.
This letter, which, by the way, is
Number 73 of the chain, requests that
the recipient remit 10 cents to George
Gould, the treasurer of the national
committee, and write letters to four
friends asking that they each send 10
cents and that they, in turn, each write
similar letters to four friends. The
letter of the Honolulu party would be
numbered "A, that of his four friends
would be Is and SO on, ad libitum
The amount requested was insignifi-
cant, but a moments thought con-
WINGED the thinker that it was a big
proposition, taken as a whole. and
taking clean sheet of paper and a
nice black lead pencil, he commenced
to figure it out. When he had reached
No. 16 of the series, he found that, pro-
viding the chain was unbroken, ,431,
655, 765 letters would have been writ
ten, or about one to each inhabitant OF
amount to $143, 165, 576. So
No. 81 of the series showed the fund
grown to SAG, $50, 549, 520.1O, or forty
seven billion two hundred million more
dollars than the world contained, &C
cording to the estimates of 1896.
Continuing the computation on up
to No. so of the series, the figures for
cash stood as follows: $50, 512 400 49,
sos, 1O4, sos ,219, Alp, 1880.
By this time he had reached the end
of his pencil and had covered all the
individual hair on his head was point
ing in a different direction and his wife
was about to telephone for the hurry
up wagon to take him out to the asy-
lum when it suddenly occurred to him
that someone had broken the chain
a thing which they had been specially
requested not to do. The first letter
of the chain is said to have been writ
ten by Lieutenant Hobson of the 'Mer-
rimac,'' and if even very small per-
centage of the letters have called forth
remittances they must have accumu-
lated a very handsome amount.
The figures given above are only uI
received by him was No. 70, which
would give figures compared with
which the amount above named would
be infiniteSimal.
