EGYPTIAN ELECTRIC FISH,

From the Boston Transcript.
An interesting fish that inhabits the wa

Gently presented to the Royal Institution at
London, thu theory is advanced by Profess

not the collection of plates which have
hitherto been considered the electric organ
OF the fish. These plates number about two

How Cloves Are Gathered,


More cloves are said to be used in Amer
lea than In any other country, England and
France following in the order named. In
this country and in Great Britain they are
used almost wholly as a condiment, but in
France they are used largely In the manu-
facture of certain liqueurs. To some de-
gree they are employed in medicine for
their tonic properties.
The name Glove is from the French clou.
meaning nail The tree is an evergreen
growing from forty to fifty feet high. with
large oblong leaves and crimson flowers at
the end of small branches in clusters of
from ten to twenty. The tree belongs to
the same family as the guava, the pome-
granite and the rose apple. The cloves are
at first white, then light green, and at the
time of gathering bright red. Pieces of
white cloth are spread under the trees at
harvesting time, and the branches are
beaten gently with bamboo sticks until the
cloves drop. They are dried in the sun,
being tossed about daily until they attain
the rich dark color which proclaims them
ready for shipment.
A Glove tree begins to bear at the age of
about ten years, and continues until IL
reaches the age of seventy-five years
There are two crops a year, one in June
and the other in December. Hot weather is
favorable to the crop, altogether little fog
Is said to improve the flavor.

Capturing Sturgeon.
From the London Telegraph.

rom the I<DIuOn Telegraph.
To fish while mounted on the back Of a
horse probably would be beyond the ca
pacity of gentle IZaak Walton of delightful
memory, yet that is the way sturgeon is
captured in the frozen rivers of the Ural
mountains. Russian Cossacks fish in large
bands. They gallop along until they reach
the point in the river where the current has
Its swiftest flight. There they dismount
and cut into the ice until they have cleared
a small pool of water which extends across
the rapid current almost from one bank of
the river to the other. A net is then sunk
to the bottom of the stream and stretched
across 1t at the open pool so that not a
single hsh can swim beyond its meshes
Then the horses are mounted and the Co.'S
sacks turn back and ride along the edge
of the river for about four or five miles
Then the band wheels about and gallops
rapidly along the fce-covered stream maxi
ing picture that would delight a Schreyer
or a Fromentin. The loud cannonade
caused by the beating of the horses hoofs
on the surface of the ice terrifies the stur-
geon and they swim quickly in advance
or their pursuers, tumbiing finally In
swarms into the net that waits their can
ture.

Yet there are circumstances when these

age IL seems to be due to the fact that
the islanders have an inverted fashion of
estimating the value of the incidents of
war. No Samoan has any fear of death.
All race 1t fearlessly in battle and in dis

hands on trivial preteNts of ANNOYANCE and
in sheer tedium of life they have il in their

had taken the heads of two of them, and
according to Samoan ethics the fight was
won and the sailors should have with

attack the lighting rage was on the islam

victory, and they made q stout stand to
hold their position. Yet when the white
forces withdrew to their ships 1t is safe to
say that the savages no longer cared to

Tending. In their own custom they would

various points where they might get pigs
