mences. Various kinds Of sturgeon,
from thirty to 600 pounds weight,
sander, carp, Dream and silurus are
the principal fish caught. The seines
differ, of course, in the size of their
meshes, according to the fish for which
they are intended.
The total catch during the fall sein-
ing is from 100000 to 72,0O0, 900
pounds, which includes two hundred
and sixteen thousand pounds sturgeon
and about twenty-one thousand SIX
hundred pounds caviare.

under the ice, and that is the most
peculiar of all fisheries. 1t is called
"bagrenie," which means hooking"
because the fishing is accomplished by
q peculiar kind of hook. When the
ice in the river becomes firm enough
to support the weight of the fishing
army, which generally takes place in
December. an order is given for the
army to meet at Uralsk, from which
point the fishing is begun. On fixed
day, thousands of people, old and
young, hasten to the shores. The
fishermen are armed with a chise!,

GCJSCCCCCSJCCC CCCs'SCSJSStStlSe =
The appearance Of the pea aphis,
which last year attacked the peas il
Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New
York. Pennsylvania, Virginia, North
Carolina and Connecticut, has called
attention to the fact that pea culture
Is an important industry in the United
States. The attack which the pea
louise made on the growing crop last
season cf j loss of about Sc, 3,000,-
900.
The louse has been known only
about one year, but it has established
Its name as an economic pest. 1t ap-
pears suddenly and in large numbers
and soon kills the plants. The winged
insect is about cne-eight Of an inch
long, with a wing expanse Of nearly
one-quarter of an inch. 1t Is pale green.
with darker legs and long honey
tubes. The female produces living
young, which reach maturity in from
ten to fifteen days, and in less tiTse
when the weather is hot.
An observer of the pea louise writes
this as to its peculiarities:
"A young one born on March 4
reached maturity-the winged form
On March 16, and was producing liv-
ing young on the 10th. From March
10 to April II she became the mother
Of Ill young, and died on the latter
date. Her first young-wingless form
born on March 10 produced on March
81, or eleven days from date Of birth.
From March 81 to April is she gave
birth to 12O young and died"
When they are permitted to breed
unchecked the pest sweeps over n
large area in short time, and many
large fields have been killed in a few
days.
The natural enemies of the pea louse
are lady beetles and their larvae, the
lace winged fly and it's larvae, the
syrphus fly and its young, and soldier
beetles. These have been abundant in
many parts Of the country this year
where peas had been planted, and in
some parts of the country these natur-
al enemies have saved twenty-five per
cent. of the crop. Many were also
destroyed by the fungous disease, and
in places where the lice have appeared
the growers wish for damp, warm and
sultry weather, under which conditions
the fungous disease usually develops.
1t will not do, however, a pea grow
eT said, to depend too much on these
natural destroyers. He recommends
the use Of the brush and cultivator
where the peas are in rows. A destroy
ing spray composed Of tobacco, whale
oil soap and water was used with good
effect until it became known that the
spray destroyed also natural enemy
of the pea louse. This enemy is the
syrphus worm. This insects power
as an eXterminator Of pea lice is de-
monstrated in the report of an OBJ
server to the Maryland Agriculture!
College. He says:
"The syrphus worms feed on the lice

A Hully's Lesson.

A member CT the Louisville bar
named Simmondson was in the habit
of intimidating the opposing wit
resses, whom, when they came to be
crcss-examined, he harassed in every
imaginable manner. The last witness
he took in hand was q tall, lank
farmer, with!a thoughtful eye. He
had watched the batting of his neig b.
bors in dead silence, and took the
stand with perfect composure. Sim
mondson evidently set him down as
lout, and when the witness hesitated
over some question a moment he
roared: "Wbat are y studying about?
'Fraid of telling lie, too, Isuppose?"
Without any apparent haste the
countryman picked up massive ink
stand and hurled 1t straight at Sim
mondson's head, catching him on the
bridge of the nose and knocking him
senseless. ''That's what I was
a-studyin' about" he drawled, in the
moment OF dead silence that followed
the act. Needless to say, tremendous
hubbub ensued, but everybody was
secretly pleased, and while the judge
fined the farmer heavily for contempt,

BY the laws of the community sum-
mer fishing is almost entirely pro-
hibited, for the purpose Of protecting
the spawn. The fish are allowed to
enter the river from the sea and set
tie there quietly for the winter. Ali
possible means are used to secure for
the fish an unrestricted passage to the
upper parts Of the river, but not be-
yond Uralsk, where a carrier Is con-
structed across the river to keep them
back.
Owing to this arrangement, the low
er part of the river forms large nat.
ural fish pond, $50 miles in length,
where the fish are carefully watched
by q great many fish wardens until
the regular time for fishing, which is
fixed by general consent of the COM
munity.
AS a rule, one part Of the river, the
lower, is intended to be ished out In
the fall, the other, upper, portion in
winter. The fall fishing begins about
the 18th of September. On certain

sometimes very far from home. The

camels, contain not only nets and pro-

CHAPTER XVII.
A WOUNDED LION.

Meantime Mrs. Vernon, Pauline
and Mademoiselle de Sezannes had
not been ill-treated beyond what the
exlgencies OF life in the immediate
vicinity of the British camp made in
evitable. The commanding officer
ordered them to be kept in the small
house already described and furnished
them food and guard. Under the
circumstances, this was the best. that
he could do. He felt that to send
them through the lines would be
dangerous proceeding, as he was re-
lying upon surprising the Americans.
Colonel Loring found no difficulty
IN securing the favor of General Keane,
anc, later, General Pakenham himself
recognized him as one who had done
him a great and dangerous service
years before. Moreover, Loring
brought with him perfect maps and
drawings of all the American defenses
and full descriptions and reports OF all
the troops under Jackson and the
probable order of their distribution,
nor did he neglect to exhibit, as if
half by accident, the newspapers con-
tanning the sensational accounts of his
daring assault upon General Jackson's
nose. lie volunteered to lead re-
connoitering party in the direction OF
the American lines, and the result was
full confirmation of his previous
statements regarding the probable
plans OF Jackson for the defense Of
New Orleans. All this aided him, but
his personal magnetism went much
farther. There was something in him
that drew men of daring and reckless
courage to him and held them there.
His voice, his manner, his steady, fear
less eyes and the look OF absolute self
assurance which seemed to be the
natural expression of his face made
way for him even iu councils Of the
generals. Men of iron found him y
man of adamant, nor did they look
through to the darker side of his being;
men rarely trouble themselves with
what is not most available in their iel-
lows.
Loring found time to be kind to the
captive women, and especially to Paul
! inc he showed almost tender solicitr de
| in seeking her comfort. He did not

placed louise within it's reach, when
it was quickly devoured. We then
placed a mother and seven newly born
lice clustered about her in small
vial, enclosed the syrphus worm and
found that by actual time the worm
destroyed the seven lice in exactly
seven minutes and the mother little
later"
The writer warn pea growers not to
destroy the syrphus, and in order to
avoid all possibility of doing so to
use no spray against the pea destroyer
When the lice are brushed off and the
ground is hot the little creatures are
roasted to death by the sun.

to arise and stop it, the result lis often

lays throughout the day. This ob5ec-
ton has led to the designing Of the
continuous ringing alarm, Of which
several are already in use. The elec-s
trio alarm, which we show In the acss.
companying picture, has just been
patented by Simon Wolf, Of Essens;
Germany, and has at least one novelty
to recommend it. 1t is directly cons;
nected to the bed, and 1t is impossible
for the sleeper to stop 1t until he gets
up to stay. Underneath the bed lis q
series Of contact points, one Of which
Is shown in the picture, the weight

clock is used In connection with the,
apparatus, and as soon as the hour OF
rising is indicated the remaining OPEN
ing or break in the wire Is closed, the;
current passing through the contact
points underneath the bed and causing
the bell to ring continuously until tho
sleeper by leaving the bed, breaks the
circuit. Should he lie down again the
circuit is again completed and the bell
rings until the second rising.
