NEW WAY OF FISHING
Done With a Wire and the Wire In
Heavily Charged

From the Minneapolis Journal
1t Is positively shocking" the way they
are catching fish at the plant of the ST.
Anthony Falls Water Power Company.
mis- too, IN face Of large sign on which
is inscribed in plain letters: mo Fishing
Allowed; Keep on" But. then, only the
immediate attaches OF the power house are
privileged.
The electricians have become so used to
working wonders by electricity-such a mir
acie. for instance. as running the street
railways Of two cities without scarcely
having to turn a hand themselves-that
they are In the habit of calling the mys-
terious fluid to their assistance whenever IL
is convenient to do So
They start out early in the season which
does not open until Wednesday to fish IN
the legitimate way, but failing to get any
hsh to speak OF by hook, they determined
to catch them, IL possible. by crook-to
electrocute them
Since then fish have responded with such
wonderful alacrity to the novel bait that
few minutes sport will give the new fish,
erman "A nice mess. The sight would
bring tears to the eyes of Ike Walton. who
believed in art for arts sake" who ac-
counted 1t a more creditable performance
to catch one fish an hour by patient, pains-
taking, philosophic endeavor than to
slaughter the finny tribe on the wholesale
plan in short order.
At the power house they take a good,
live wire. properly insulated where the an
gler holds 1t. and stick the same into the
water. Water is good conductor, as
everybody knows and every time a FISH
comes within ten or twelve feet OF the CEN
ter of disturbance he is conducted to the
surface.
He is not dead-he Is simply shocked into
insensibility by his sensational reception.
and IL left to his own resources would soon
be himself again. But the cruel man on

An occasional sturgeon are caught In this
way. One Of the electricians who was di.
recting the mighty machinery which gen.
crates 10000 horsepower said that he had
caught sturgeon early in the spring which
weighed twenty pounds. He said that an
ordinary current Of electricity was strong
enough to bring the most obstreperous fish
10 the surface in most cases. He had to
hand the sturgeon considerable more than
the average before he could make him Tie

Sometimes a simple iron plate with cleo
trical connections Is used. 1t Is hung over
the side of the wall into the river. and
does the work as effectually as the wire

up his vigil over the bay for another fish.
The base Of tree or pole upon which is
located fish hawks nest is rendezvous
for house cats. small wild animals and
many birds OF the smaller variety. all COM
ing to feed on the scraps Of fish clinging to
the backbone of the prey, which are
thrown out of the nest by the hawks. The
fine for killing a fish hawk is s2O, and a
like sum for disturbing its nest.
Cart Wheels for Foundations.
The system followed by people on whose
premises fish hawks are visitors, in the
event Of erecting a pole. is to fasten an old
cart wheel fiat on it's side at the top of
the pole. the outer rim being held secure
by uprights fastened at the upper ends to
the rim of the wheel and the lower ends
spiked some feet below to the pole. 1t Is
picturesque sight. The fish hawks do not
hesitate in adopting such facilities for nest
building. and at once begin to build on the
cart wheel when they arrive from the
south. roost for the male bird is formed
by stretching a pole across the fiat of the
feet beyond the rim There are many of
these poles arranged at Bristol for the con-
venieuce of the birds.
The day of the departure of the fish
hawks for the south in the fall is marked
by big feast on fish, followed by some
repairs to the nest, to enable it to weather
the storms of winter, and then there is
grand Wind-up of fierce screeching sounds,
be difficult to initiate. At signal, usually
given by the oldest male bird, all rise in
the air from 200 to 800 feet and wing their
way to southern latitudeS
When the hawks first arrive in the spring
they show bright and dapper plumage.
with finely curved claws, but when they
leave in the fall their rough experience in
catching fish and caring for their young
during the summer tends to discolor their
plumage and mar the claws.
Often these hawks are seen clustered
high in the air. describing peculiar antics,
one of them occasionally dropping through
the air from 200 to 800 feet with a rush. and
at the same time uttering peculiar Shrieks.
Fishermen regard these antics on the part
of the fish hawks as an indicated change
in the weather.
The male hawk Is twenty-five inches IN
length and the female is two inches larger.
From tip to tip Of wings is six feet The
bill is black, the nostrils light blue. The
crest Is pure white, as Is the breast The
wings and part Of the neck are brown.
The legs and feet are very strong, remark
ably large. and Of light blue color, covered
with fat scales, strong and thick. suggest
ing a rasp, particularly on the soles Of the
feet, enabling the bird to hold securely its
slippery prey. The claws are very large
for the size of the bird, and describe semi
circular curves finely formed and as sharp
as a new fish hook. The toes are exceed
ingly strong and warty. the hind one an
inch and a quarter In diameter. The outer
toe can be turned either way, aiding In
graSping fish.

PROBLEM OF THE UNEMPLOYED.
Solution of the Question to Be Found

From the New York Tribune
THE first aim of all phianthropic work.
whether state or private, should be to pre-
serve the manhood of the person to be
helped-to make him self-supporting in
stead of alms-receiving. said the Rev.
John b. Devins in paper before the Sum-
mer School Of Philanthropy. 1T Is only
when men are legitimately employed that
life Is worth the living
He quoted Walter A Wyckor as having
said: The problem Of the unemployed Is
the problem Of the distribution Of labor
taking men from places where many are
looking for one job to places where many
jobs are looking for one man Mr.. Devins
said that while the frequent suggestion that
the unemployed should be sent TO the couu-
try has much in It's favor. there Is some
thing more to be done than to get them

The dance was given at nine o'clock
at night in the large open square of

In the middle of the plaza a great

death Of Mrs Emma Rylcy yesterday

Rodman said h was its owner, and the
others acknowledged helping to celebrate
the Fourth with the weapon. The can
non, which Is held by the police IS Il Vi
cious looking affair made OF twO-inCh
steel. heavily oanded, and set on wheels,
1t has an inch and quarter bore and
properly loaded would carry 4 missile
with deadly effect at least Loo feet The
young men placed the cannon in front Of
one of their homes in the middle OF Nor

The victim. who was an invalid ard
about sixty years old, lived with her two
daughters and one son - the upper flat
of 4 three-story apartment house at the
corner Of Morris Avenue and Bank
Street, about ESQ feet from where the can
non stood.
The slug. which was piece of ham
mered lead pipe was used, the young men
averred, to add to the noise The cannon
was pointed along the centre line of the
avenue toward Cabinet Street. and was
evidently swerved in the direction OF the
RyIey home by pulling the string which
discharged the hammer.

gagged passage on i steamer sailing for

busily engaged arranging trunks. and the

prospect Of soon reaching her English
home again.
Suddenly the daughters heard a crash
made by the slug tearing through the
closed window blinds and the same in
