lievable part of the story One day Nor
ton took hold of his small friend to drop
him playfully over five-foot screen
and the next moment found himself
trussed up and helpless on the floor with
the Japanese gentleman Sitting smiling
ly on the back of his neck
Norton sent message to Boston that
he wouldn't be home that winter and
asked his minute friend to name his
price in blood or treasure. The minute
friend declined politely. He did so a
score of times within the next few
months.
Then there came a plague in Yeddo,
and when the plague was over the city
gave Norton curiously wrought medal.
Later his small friend and other minute
gentlemen took him into the mountains,
where he spent three months learning
Japanese prayers and practising calls
themes After that they initiated him
into the Embok KWai and the deadly art
of Jiu Jitsu. 1t was the first time they
told him, that the honor had been con-
ferred on a foreigner.
'Embok kWai means to kill without
mark. The society is older than re-
corded history and the most exclusive in
Japan. Jill Jitsu, its secret art, means
Dliability and non-resistance. It is the
art which makes the light and fragile
man the superior of the giant.

hear that Norton was in Y eddo, and he
came across to find him. The details OF

list the eye is unable to bring the

sensitive place On the retina which place
is most susceptible to the different
, vibrations above mentioned and is locat-
ed two millimeters to the temporal side
Of the optic nerve. Hence, the vibra-
tions are indistinct and indistinctly con-
veyed to the brain, and consequently the
delicate muscles are forced to undergo a
strain in order to determine tho yibra-
tons, Or the object from which the rays
emanate, and as nature is constantly en-
deavoring to perform her duty she then
goes to work and produces an extra flow
of blood to the strained parts until final
ly the blood becomes stagnated in its
veins and it Is this pressure of the veins
that produces the aching sensation.
Generally speaking. this difficulty is
many times obviated Improperly neutral-

which assists the ciliary and ocular

FISHING WITH DYNAMITE.
Pollock Being Killed by Thousands Down
East-Carelessness of the Fishermen.

The killing of fish by the explosion Of
dynamite cartridges is causing great
slaughter among the early pollock schools
in PassaI1aquoddy Bay and in the Bay
of Fundy and also great excitement
among the fishermen, for there have been
several serious accidents and one death
from the use of the dynamite.
While the Canadian fishery cruisers
have been ordered to prevent the killing
of fish with dynamite within the territOr-
ial limits, the practice is being carried on
by many boats in Grand Manan waters,
both within and without the limit, and
more fish are killed in one day by the
dynamite method than have usually been
taken in an entire season in nets and on
travis.
The pollock recently began to school.
and ever since they put in an appearance
thousands have been killed and taken
daily, and probably as many more thou
sands of mutilated fish sink to the bottom.
Some of the White Head fishermen esti-
mated the catch, or rather the kill, in one
day recently at 81 800, and as 13 boats
have since then been added to the fleet
the slaughter must now be much greater.
The fishermen are not only ignorant of
the proper method of handling the dyna-
mite, but also very careless, and many
accidents have occurred. A young man
on board a pollock boat held a stick of
the explosive too long in his hand while
igniting the fuse, and the dynamite eX-
ploded while he held it, blowing him 20
feet away over the rail. His body was
