GREEN PEAS BAIT FOR EELs.

If an eastern exchange is to be be-
lieved, the pea industry will be.
thriving one in some sections of the
country. While the average fisher
man would prefer to angle for bass,
or some other gamey members of the
finny tribe, there are large number
of anglers for eels, and there would
be more were it known what to sue
cessfully use for bait. On little
cape near Ludington, Michigan, a
man named Pease, from Chicago,
had been endeavoring to catch eel>-
He had tried bits of fish, earth-worms,
dead minnows and crawhsh tails with
out getting a bite. An old farmer
happened along and asked what he
was fishing for. Pease said "Eels !"
shortly and resumed work.
The farmer watched him awhile,
then said, tentatively
"They come up into my garden
every night.
What for?" Pease asked.
"For green peas" was the ans
wer.
"What?'
"Green peas"
The doctor reeled in his line and
went with the farmer he was in a
frame of mind when he was ready to
try anything. In the garden he got
hatful of pods containing peas.
The farmer instructed him to hang a
pod on his hook, just as if it were
live bait, cast in, let it sink and await
results.
Pease did SO. He got nibble in
a little while, reeled in and found
that the pea-pod had been bitten half
in two. He rebaited, cast out and a
like result occurred.
Then he concluded that the pods
were too long to permit the eels to
reach the hook, so he cut one in two
and baited. He had squirming, fat
pound eel in his boat in less than five
] minutes.
Thereafter the sailing was plain.
He found that they would bite as
readily at the half-pods as at the
whole, and would bite if he merely
transfxed the hook with half dozen
peas without any pod on them.
AS the strikes seemed to be surer
without the pods, he shelled some of
the peas and had good time. He
got back to camp late in the after
noon with a dozen eels, which weigh
ed in the aggregate rs pounds.
He says that it was the first and
only time in his life when be had
enough eel, but he is satisfied that he
has solved the problem of catching
t III e III whenever an eel-hankering
seizes him, or rather the Ludington
farmer has solved it for him. The
doctor believes that eels will bite as
well, or nearly as well, at canned
peas, and is going to try them if un-
able to get the fresh vegetable.

total for the year of 2,I35,842, 900
gallons. In the course of time this
supply somewhat diminished, and it
was suspected that the flow was OBJ

The pipes were accordingly flushed
by forcing into them water under
high pressure, and the flow was mark

we pass forty corners where there are

"But it's in this part of town, and
she lives in a two-story brick house

Nothing, ma'am," said the con-
ductor, weakening. "Here's your

MAKING EGGS TELL THEIR AGES.

According to the Backer and Kon-
ditor Zeitung the age of an egg is
now discovered by immersing it in
solution of salt containing about eight
ounces to the pint. When the salt
has thoroughly dissolved, the egg to
be tested is dropped gently into the
glass containing the solution. If the
egg is only one day old it sinks i'm
mediately to the bottom if three days
old it sinks just below the surface
only, and from five days and upward
it floats.
Another process has just been
awarded medal in Saxony by the
National Society of Poultry Breeders
and is described in German con-
temporary. 1t is we'll known that
the air cavity at the blunt end of the
egg enlarges as the age of the egg in
creases. Consequently, if the egg be
placed in solution similar to the one
described above it will have all in
creasing tendency to float with the
long axis vertical. A scale Of angles
is placed at the back of the vessel,
and from the inclination of the egg
10 the horizontal the egg can be guag-
ed almost to day. A new-laid egg
lies horizontally at the bottom of the
vessel. When three to five days old
the egg raises itself from the horizon
tai, so that its long axis makes an
angle of about 20 degrees with the
horizontal. At eight days this angle
increases to about As degrees; at
fourteen days it is 60 degrees at
about three weeks it is about IS de-
grees, while after four weeks it stands
upright on the pointed end.-.Scien-

reports that in that precinct he found
1,264 persons of all ages, 927' of whom
could read and write; thirty-eight illit-
crate were found over the age OF 10
and 299 illiterate under the age
of 10; 1870 OF these are under 5 years
of age. If some mathematical prodigy
