I've travelled a good deal, but have never run across anything to equal it yet You'll see gang of them in big boat in the harbor at Kingston, where there, are always plenty of fish. One of them will throw a small object into the water, and in few minutes a spout of water shoots up and an explosion is heard, The boat is quickly padded around and the men begin to. .rale in dead fish with dip nets.'
 There is nothing very extraordinary in that. Dynamite fishing is common" put in a listener.
 You're too quick for me, didn't say they used dynamite. Nor is it powder. You couldn't guess in year what causes that explosion They take an une iaAcd jus, or water monkey, and fill it with unslacked lime The jug is tightly sealed. As earthenWare which is not glazed is porous, when the jug of lime is thrown into the water the water begins to soak in, When the lime cam- mences to get wet it produces an in- tense heat, and In a few minutes the steam generated i'll the jug causes an explosion, and the fish in the vicinity are killed by the concussion.
