Fish Are Like Moths.

Two Yale students have discovered
that electric light is the best bait for
fishing. AS result of this discovery
the fishing industry promises to be
revolutionized. 1t has been found that
the rays of an electric light under the
water hypnotic the denizens Of the
deep. When they see the rays they
flock to them like moth to a flame,
and nothing can drive them away as
long as the light shines. If 1t is
turned off they scamper away in all
directions. A company has been
formed which proposes to enter into
the capture of fish by electric light
upon an extensive scale.-Kansas

WOMEN AS INVESTORS.
Their Nervousness About Securities

Their Nervousness About Securities
Causes the Brokers Much Trouble.
Two women had $1,000 to invest,
and after talking TO a broker for two
solid hours bought a government bond
because it was safe. Next day they
sold it because it paid very little in
terest and bought gas stock. That
evening some friend alarmed them by
saying that IL the gas works blew up
stock wouldn't be worth anything, SO
they returned to the broker and
snapped for railway stock. which they
returned to him next day because the
railways might go into the trust and
stock wouldn't pay any dividends Yes
they bought Suspension Bridge bonds
at 2:10 D. m. and were on hand at
$50 a. m. next day to sell them.
Hadn't slept all night. Had just heard
about the Brooklyn bridge. suppose
a tornado should blow our bridge over,
what security would be left?" For
bridge bonds they secured an upper
county bond, and actually kept from
worry for a whole week. Then they
swooped down on the poor broker and
had him sell them. He gave up his
clients Then came fine looking gen.
tleman named Adams, from Dallas,
Texas, who wanted to borrow $1,000 at
10 per cent on his big ranch, and
would pay interest in advance. The
women trusted him, and now learn
that there are worse investments than
gas, bridge, street and governments.
Adams boards at the expense OF the
state of Texas, and won't answer any
communications from the fifty-odd
first mortgage holders on the same

treated before the rushing food, there
by saving Lord Chugmough a good
many thousand pounds, and probably
the lives of the crew as well.
And it is also known that when Sir
Galloping Grace and the other mem
bers of Lord Chugmough's party
turned their backs on the washed-out
city of Bolivar to return to Pedro
Francisco's hospitable plantation, the
Cheerway was already blowing the
waters of the subsiding Orinoco to re-
gain her deserted anchorage off Boil
var.
TWO days later, on a beautiful clear
day, when the hot sun was beating
down on the decks, Captain Glover
stood on the bridge-his throne, and a
more secure one than was the ambi-
ton of the false Philip of Aragon-
with the visor Of his cap pulled low
over his eyes to shade them from the
glare, watching, with considerable
wonder and pleasure, the splendid
scenery of the north shore near which
he was running, the wonder being that
all nature could be so beautiful and
smiling so soon after the tempestuous
experience of few days before.
Now and then Captain Glover raised
pair of glasses to his eyes and swept
the verdure-clad shore, noting the
many-colored flowers, which certainly
must have bloomed since the storm,
for they could not have lived through
it.
All" he said to himself, giving a
characteristic grUnt at the same time,

Der that mountain. Now, that's a
queer place for a mountain. It's al
ways been my opinion that a noun
tain is necessarily a land animal. But
this is square in the river-sort Of am
phibious mountain, as it were"
And smiling at his own joke, the
captain continued to study the bold
outlines and lofty eminence of the
mountain that had attracted him.
which was no other than the Island of
the Clouds, which has already played
a not unimportant part in the history
Of some of our friends.
Every minute brought the rapid
yacht nearer to the mountain, and
after an hour or so Captain Glover
raised the glass again to take another
and closer survey.
The same day he rescued Dona
Maria, Jacinta and their American
protector and the Cheerway bore them
up the Amazon to Bolivar.
In due time the yacht arrived at
Bolivar, and Medworth, seeing no SOL
diers of Philip near, made bold to re-
quest to be sent ashore that he might
make inquiries concerning Castle Sal
varez, and also put in a few sly ques-
tons to see if Jack Tempest was any
where about.
The information he received on
shore fairly staggered him with a
mixed emotion-part joy, part grief.
Everybody in Bolivar knew all about
the battle on Carib Hill, and Medworth
listened with beating heart to the
story Of the supposed death OF Lola
Cara, the crafty treachery of Namam-
pa, the meeting of Namampa and Lola
with Lord Chugmough on Carib Hin,
the subsequent attack by Mattazudo,
and the final misunderstanding which
resulted in the total humiliation Of
both wings of Philips army. He also
heard with sorrow of the heroism and
death of his old comrade, and the joy
over the knowledge that Lola was
alive and we'll was tempered with
grief over the death of his loyal
friend.

HOW THE SEA RETAINS LIFE.

One OF the reasons formerly urged
against the existence Of living crea-
lures in the abysses of the ocean was
the supposed absence of oxygen there.
1t was deemed impossible that any
considerable quantity of oxygen could
exist at great depths. But recent dis
coveries have shown that there Is no
lack of oxygen even at the greatest
depths. The explanation is that the
cold water of the polar regions.
charged with oxygen from the atmos-
phere. creeps along the bottom toward
the equator, from both poles. and thus
carries a supply of oxygen over the
whole vast floor of the oceans. The
surface water moves toward the poles,
and so a great system of circulation
exists. Were it not for the world
circulation" says Prof. G.. G. Nutting.
1T is altogether probable that the
ocean would in time become too foul
to sustain animal life, at least in its
higher manifestations. and the sea. the
mother of life, would itself be dead"

SLOW BICYCLE RACE.
The Six Day Riders Are Doing a Lot
 of Loafing. ...-.

Boston, Jan 5.-The bicycle riders pedaled leisurely along all afternoon, and they maintained about the same pace in the evening. The spectators had hoped that the ''race' would be enllvened by occasional sprints, but nothing so unreasonable occurred. As q result, the men were all in good con- dition, as well they might be, as the pace certainly has not been the one that kills.
 At the end of the forty-ninth hour the scores were as follows:
 McEachern ill the lead, Kaser, Wal thour, Stinson, Mclean, Downey and Fisher, all 909 miles ? laps; Babcock, 90S miles 6 laps; Muller. S99 miles.
 The track was in a slippery condi- tIOn when the riders came out for the start early in the afternoon, and for the first hour they rode around on the flat, first agreeing that no one should hurry himself, and that laps gained should not count. When they went up on the incline the racers moved along q little faster The S00th mile was passed in 42 hours. II minutes and 32 seconds. with McEachern in the lead. Even the hour before recess did not bring out sprint, although the speed throughout was fair. Me Eachern led at the finish, with Stinson second.
 In the evening racing began the forty-siXth hour and McEachern set the pace at roc. A little later Bab- cock was permitted to lead for nearly the first hour. at the end of which McEachern went to the front again. Kaser led at the 'S50th mile in 45 hours, 35 minutes and 5S seconds.
 In the way of diversion Albert +l ,,h T exhibition mile on his moter cycle in 1:37 4-5, against his mile last summer at Charles River park in 1:26. Harry Bikes next came out and made the mile in 1:45 3-5, the poorest of his eX- hibitions this week.
 Another feature was a heat of a match between Caldwell and Van Cott, the latter rider winning easily. Cad well won the second heat. Stinso~ had fall and the two riders had to slow up to get around him in the first heat. Stinson received a bad cut on the left hip and was eff the track for some time. Kaser led at the o00th mile in AS hours, 27 minutes, s 2-5 sec onds. .--.
 Without any warning at 1O:55 Bab- cock cut loose, and before either the crowd or riders knew what had hap pened he was some distance ahead of the bunch, and at the end of three laps was wHh,n Il ten feet of the rear guard. None of the men made serious efforts to catch the runaway. The lap and along with ii the S20 offered to the first man to gain a lap, were to all in- tents and purposes q gift to Babcock from the other riders.
 The scores at the fiftieth hour and the finish of the night were as fol- lows:
