PARALYZES THE FISH.
Rapid Pulling Through the Water
Produces n Singular Eject
Upon the Creatures.

A well-known Brooklyn business man
recently returned from trip to Cali
fornia with a photograph and fish
story. The former was necessary, as
without it he would never dare to tell
the latter to the brethren of his ma.
sonic lodge and of his Royal Arcanum
council Thus fortified, however, he
lated thrilling pscatorial achieve
ment at La Jolia, near San Diego, as
follows:
"After an early breakfast we started
in an 1S-foot boat on our row of three
miles up the coast, over the large roll
ers. In good time we reached place
where the guide concluded our lines
should go down. Ny outfit consisted of
line some 700 feet in length, having
1G hooks and three-pOund sinker. The
bait used for this style of fishing are
pieces of yellow tail, cut so the hooks
run right through the skin. As the
lines went down the guide rowed slow
ly, thereby keeping the boat in about
the same position, so the line might 90
down straight. After the sinker
touched the bottom pulled up about
five feet and had scarcely done so when
a small pull and then many in success
sion, caused me to remark: we have
struck the fishing ground, by Jove!'
Pulling in 400 feet of line, sinker
weighing three pounds and also several
large fish all at once is no easy task and
my arms were very tired, but soon
everything seemed to change, the line
came up so easily that thought all the
catch must have been gone, including
fish and sinker. But / still hauled in
the line and soon a pink object was
seen, way down in the water, which
was followed by IA others of a similar
character. These objects l soon found
to be fish of all sizes, weighing from 8
to 10 pounds; Is on the 16 hooks and all
pulled up at one time. Think of it!
81 later found why the line came up
so easily toward the last. The fish had
all been killed by pulling them so rap
idly from the great depth and the
bladders, that projected from their
mouths. filed with air. had caused them
TO feat. After our mornings sport we
rowcd home and found that we had as
pounds of California Cod TO our credit"
This Brooklyn man, who tells this
story unabashed. is so modest that he
is willing TO be identified only by his
initials, which are T. W. D.-N. Y. Her.

There was little Of the idealistic about the
ESSAY OF Kansas girl at her recent gradua-

the phrase: Beyond the Alps Lies Italy.

There is a big row at the Eastern In

ton of Clarence Deaton into the mys'
teries of class societies. Wagon axle

after his clothing had been torn off in
shreds. An electric battery was then

his sense of hearing has been destroyed.
The University of Chicago has adopt
ed a system of concessions calculated to
draw students from foreign countries.
So far it has been applied only to Japan.
On HE principle that one native tongue
is as good as another, the university
will accept unit of study in Japanese
for the same amount of work in Eng

Under the law which gave Cornell
university certain amount of govern
ment land, the university is obliged to
give one free scholarship TO each as

When this law was passed there were
12s assembly districts in the state,
which meant that there were j12 free
students in the university all the time,
as each scholarship was for the entire
four years.
