A rod-a dog-a comrade true;
And then to fish the livelong day,
And not another thing to do,
All, me. To be boy again!
To quit the strife and toll of men
To sit, in thoughtless, happy MOOD,
Upon a sunny rock, and then
To fish until the day is dead;
Until my nose is peeled and red;
And so, without tomorrow's ghost
To haunt my sleep, go off to bed!

THE EARLY ROBIN.

The early robin came to town
One frigid April day,
The trees were bare, the grass was
brown,
And people heard him say:
Spring! Spring!
l thought that this was spring!
Spring! Spring!
It's much too cold to sing
And SO he chirped and shivered and
wished he hadn't come,
For most unhappy object is a robin
frozen dumb,
An artful cat the robin saw
That frigid April day,
She softly tried each curving claw,
And people heard her say:
Spring! Spring.
I'll make a little spring.
Spring, Spring!
I'll catch him by the wing,"
And before the robin knew it, his lit
tie life was DER,
And the cat had wiped her whiskers
and was looking round for more!

and Sift it thoroughly to the bottom.
What practical benefits accrue to
mankind from a perfection of the sci
ence is something of a problem, but
Professor Crookes outlined these in
his address to the Psychical Research
society Of London when he suggested
the possibility Of one person by means
of intense thought and the telepathic
chain, communicating with another
without regard to distance This, Of
course, he said, was provisional, and
had not yet been demonstrated by
practical tests.
At all events, he contended, a study
of thought transference would preface
a more profound study of man, nature,
and of all things, and stimulate inves-
tigation into uneXplOred paths Of sci
ence, principally psychical phenomena.
In France and Italy telepathy has
been more extensively investigated
than in this or any other country, but
the experiments of DR.. J. B. Ermacora
Of Padua and Of DR.. BaradUc of Paris,
while painstaking and unique, have
received small recognition from the
sober minds of the scientific world.
The work Of these two men from now
on, however, will probably be exam
ined with minute care, and if their
claims are satisfactorily established,
some interesting developments must
ensue.
Dr.. Baraduc goes further than the
others, so far that he treads upon the
fringe of theosophy, and that very fact
has deprived his Investigations of SER
ious consideration. He not only con-
tends that thought waves are fact,
but he claims that they can be photo
graphed, and that he has photographed
them. He claims the existence of a
vital, or psychic fluid, and he demon
strates this fact by two curious instru-
ments called magnetometers.
These consist of two small dials di-
vided into 800 degrees, with very deli
cate needles made of annealed copper,
and, therefore, irresponsible to Or
binary magnetic influences. Each
needle is protected against outside con-
tact by a glass case. If both hands,
with the fingers brought to point,
are extended in the direction of the
"magnetometers, the needle CORES
ponding to the left hand is, after about
two minutes, driven back, say, from
0 degrees to 5 degrees, while the
needle opposite the right hand is
moved forward to Is degrees. Such
motions show the existence Of a
force emanating from the fingers and
forming circuit through the glass
cases. This, according to DR.. Bara-
due, is the vital or psychic force.
If Photographic plate is placed be-
tween the ''magnetometer' and the
hand, either in the dark or in a faint
red light, it will be seen, after develop
ing, that the plate bears the impress
sion of some luminous efiuvia which
do not affect the normal eye.
DR.. Baraduc names the force issuing
from the left side expir, and aspir the
force that enters the right side He
argues as follows: II the body eXhales
five units on the left side and inhales
fifteen on the right, there remains
difference Of ten unit, which, in some
way, accumulates in the human bat
terry and constitutes the psychic force
that is radiated through the action Of
the will, or, to quote the doctors own
words, 1--WE are not isolated in the i

THE OYSTER OUTLOOK.
A Great Scarcity of The Bivalve Due
to Lack Of Protection.

Oyster packers and dredgers expect
that the oyster catch in the Chesapeake
Bay this winter will be the smallest in its
history. Every winter the catch has
been growing less. owing to a lack of
protection to this vast source of wealth.
The question has been the subject of dis
cussion by the legislature, the Merchants
and Manufactures Association, the
Alumni of the Maryland Law School and
distinguished citizens. but the oysters
continue to decrease from neglect.
Capt. W. H. Robbins. one of the best
informed men h the State. who has been
engaged in the oyster trade in all its
branches from his youth up. says "lt
is all idle talk to say that our oyster sup
ply cannot be entirely cut off. made
my money out Of oysters. and followed
dredging in the Chesapeake Bay until
was forced to abandon it on account OF
the scarcity OF oysters. | have In two
days loaded big pungy on some of the
best-known grounds OF the bay, and have
seen these bars become so barren that
one would have thought an oyster never
did grow upon them. When | was iorc-
ed to give up dredging went into the
oyster commission business in Baltimore,
and this, too. soon became so unprofit-
,able. on account cf the price, that drop
ped out OF the business altogether.
when oysters were plentiful and sold
even from IS to 20 cents per bushel. the
revenue to the people OF this State was
simply incalculable. Now. at so cents
per bushel. there are. indeed. few people
engaged in the business, from the catcher
to the packer, who can make both ends
meet. have maintained ever since my
experience as dredger that the rivers
should be closed to all scrapers and non
resident oystermen, and | am more thor
oughly convinced now that this is the
only hope we have for the protection OF
the oyster. Close the Choptank to scrap
ers for three years. and no gold mine in
AL the land will yield as much revenue
as will our oyster beds. The people of
Talbot county attempted to have the
Choptank closed at the last session Of the
legislature, but we Of Dorchester fought
against it and prevented it. The same
effort will be made next winter, AMI. il |
mistake not, Dorchester will not attempt
to stop it,

Mr.. G|SCHEL WILLING.
Says He Will Withdraw From the Anne
Arundel Ticket to Get Harmony.

Leading Democrats OF Anne Arundel
county. including DIR. George Wells. ex-
Senator Robert Moss and DR.. Elijah Will
liams. had conference yesterday with
Hon. Murray Vandiver, chairman Of the
Democratic State Genital Committee, rel
atiye TO The troubles ofkhe Democracy of
Anne Arundel county. Hon. lsidor Ray
ner and Hon. John +. Poe were also
there.
Ii was stated that Mr.. w. G.. Gischel,
the nominee for State Senator, against
whose candidacy there is vigorous oppo-
sltion in the county. has expressed will
ingness to withdraw il his withdrawal will
insure restoration OF harmony in his
party. 1t was urged that action should
be taken at once in order that the cam.
paign might be carried on with a new
candidate on the ticket. Mr.. Gischel
would probably withdraw at once il the
leaders could see their way clear to pro-
viding means for naming a successor.
The trouble arises in the fact that the
Anne Arundel Convention adjourned sine
die. Several propositions are being con-
sidered looking to means for selecting a
nominee without referring the question to
the primaries. since such action. il is
feared. might result in precipitating a
tactional fight. 1t is generally believed
that DR.. Elijah Williams. who was de-
feated by Mr.. Gischel in the convention,
will take his place on the ticket il the
latter vacates,
