sturgeon. The operators of these eX-
peTimentS used boats to gather in the
desirable fish that were captured. In
this operation it was discovered that
although the electrical current had a
paraiyZing effect upon all water crea-
lures. it did not have the least effect
upon the human body. A hand was first
put in the water cautiously; there was
not the slightest unpleasant sensation
Bcldsr Investigations followed, when il
was found that a man could swim in
the stream and among the fish, collect
ing them at viii, and yet suffer no shock
whatever. This is believed to be due
TO the greater resistance to the electric
current furnished by the body Of a fish.
That the fish should be affected so
strongly is still a little remarkable.
since by actual test II has been shown
that the body of a fish has greater cleo
trical resistance than water.
Still the experiments mentioned hard
ly made electrical fishing practical,
since 2 fisherman can scarcely be ex-
pected to carry around with him either
a dynamo or power mouse Certain
experiments on Minnehaha creek have
been more satisfactory from a prac-
tical view point. These were made
without power house or dynamo con-
necttOn. q bank Of five powerful gal
vanic cells, and an Induction coil were
used. These were connected to two
small plates set about eight feet apart
| in the water, and every fish passing be-
| tween these plates came promptly tC
the surface. This same apparatus was

For those who do not leave Ireland,
%, a and % are the marrying ages To
very many of them their fathers can
afford no dowery. In cases where il can
be afforded 500 to 5000 is considered a
fair fortune Sometimes the fortune is
paid in kind-cattle and furnishing, or
a piece of land Often the girl fortunes
herself by the industry Of her fingers,
investing as she goes along, in sheep, d
heifer, a COW.
When a young man goes formally
TO ask a wife, he brings with him a
friend whose duty it is to bargain for
the fortune with the father and mother,
whilst he courts the daughter. Though
a hard enough bargain is driven, it is
not always done in the spirit of old

sons friend when seeing them off TO
make the MATCH: "If she's very

In those parts of our country from

The girls range themselves in rows
