A Sucker in a Cypress.

A story comes from Jeanette. La,
where about thirty pounds of fish were
recently sawed out of the heart of a
cypress log. The other day when the
larger end of an immense cypress log
was being passed under the saw of the
mill Of the jeanette Cypress Lumber
company, one of the mllmen made the
discovery that in the hollow of the leg
was some substance that was evidentlv
extraordinary. His examination nc
Quainted him with the fact that large
hsh had been sawed up with the log.
The log was one that had been cur about
the usual distance from the ground but
which had hollow on one side above
where it had been cut. The hollow snoce
opened out in hole a few inches in
diameter on the side of the tree. Tho
hollow space itself, however. was az
ample dimensions. Occupying n great
proportion Of the space were the sawed
remains of large sucker probably n
"chopique,' estimated to have weighed
at least thirty pounds. The explanation
that has been offered for the lodgment
OF the tish IN so unexpected a place was
that in high water when the hole In tho
side of the tree was below the surface
of the water, a small fish got through
the hole into the hollow. The fish failed
10 swim out Of the hole before tbn wa.
ter fell. Enough water remained in tLe
hole at all times 10 permit the fish IA
live, and il "waXed fat" ia its nernl;s >
abode, and at least remained fresh IL
not alive when the log was being rafta5
and when ii was run into the mill Nm.

EFFECT OF WAVES ON SHIPS.
What Causes the Rolling and Pitching
of Vessels.

In an article on problems in naval ar
chitecture, Engineering of London refers
to the important question whether hol-
low or straight lines confer the greatest
advantage in ship. If a hollow line
WafShlp pitches more than a straight
line ship her guns cannot be fred with
the same degree of accuracy as would
otherwise be the case. This is more inn
portant where bow fire is being utilized
TO the fullest extent in a chasing fight
when the cruiser must make her best
speed. The question therefore to he de-
termined is as TO whether these hollow
lines confer an advantage in speed 10
compensate for the alleged tendency to-
ward increased pitching. The contention
IS made that even in channel steamers
where length is also restricted owing to
the limited dimensions of harborS. it has
not been found necessary To adopt hol-
low lines y factor in the pitching OF
the snip is the relation of the length cr
the ship to the length or period of the
wave; and in the design OF British cruie-
ers attention is said TO be given to Tho
fact that the waves in the English chan

tions of the furure-are much shorter
than in the Atlantic, and thar conse-
quently short ship will he more suit

1t would certainly be interesting if the
staff of a James Watt experimental in
stitution could make a sufficiently long
series of observations TO determine the ay-
erage or prevailing length or peri0Qicity
of waves in the channels surrounding the
United Kingdom. as well as on the great
oceans, with q view TO assisting in the
design of the type of ship, both as re-
CARDS length and lines. which would give
tho comfort gpl1ub l4o,
1t would be possible. for instance to as
certain exactly the effect Of pitching on
various sections at the entry. and to de-
termine the relative advantages Of V and
L sectionS-Whether they c0nduce to. or

mined this, it would be desirable. in the
case of channel steamers, where high
speed is wanted, to ascertain 10y tank
experiments the effects of such variation
of section on the speed of the shin. A
kindred question has reference 10 the cut
on turning, on speed and on pitching.
A point which might be considered
with profit to the sea voyager is the in
huence of 4 high beam wind on a shin
with open deckwork Even with ordi
nary channel steamers it is becoming the
fashion TO hove one or two promenade
decks above the nodded dimensions of
the ship, while in Atlantic liners three
such decks are now adopted and onr ex-
perience suggests that such openworlx
forms extensive pockets" for the wind.
with the result that the amplitude Of
rolling is increased more than would be
the case if the wind could escape. as is
the case with a ship having no Such

Norwegian Cure for Jag.

In Norway drunkenness is punished by
imprisonment. As soon as a man is ;u-
generated the delinquent has a loaf aud
wine morning and evening. The bread is
served in 4 wooden bowl full of wine. in
which it has been soaking for an hour.
The first day the drunkard swallows his
allowance willingly enough. The second
day it seems less pleasing. At the end If
eight or ten days prisoners have been
known to abstain altogether from the
food thus pitilessly presented. This
course of treatment finished, the drunk
ard, except in rare instances, is radically
cured.-EXchange
