When roost'is approached no speed
is made. The men row softly until
they come within shot. A final stroke
is given and then they take up the
guns.
The ducks have all been awakened
by the light, but they make no effort
to fly, being loathe to take wing into
the dark night. At 30 yards distance
the right barrels of three guns are
fred and then they get up. The shot
from the left barrels rip through them
when they are ten feet above the wa
ter in an almost solid mass.
They dart away into the night, fnd-
ing shelter elsewhere and the men kill
the cripples and pick up the dead. The
destruction from this kind of battery
is terrific Sometimes $50 to 200 ducka
are killed by the three guns.
Getting it is little trouble and the
fire platform is favorite device OF
southern pot hunters. They run the
risk of being taken and thrown into
Jail, because fire-hunting wild fowl is
against the law, but there is tremen-
dous stretch of coast and few officers,
so the risk is not great.
This bunting is done only on dark
and moderately still nights. The torch
is not effective in moonlight and moth
ing can be done il there is a storm, so
altogether the fire hunter cannot go
out oftener than five nights in q
month When roost has been dis
turbed by torch and guns new pne
must be found, as the ducks will not
often return to the old one

Tribunes London representative. The
chancellor Of the excheQuer has been
advised by able and most influential
authorities TO make a loan OF 2is per
cent stock Mr. Richie has not, how
ever come to any decision in the mat
ter The chief argument is that there
Is always a brisk demand for safe 3
per cent stock and that what Is wanted
is a great popular success and not a
syndicate splash followed by months Of
slow liquidation. a further considera-
ton is that no inyideous comparisons
would be raised between consols az 2ia
per cent and the new stock at per

be almost q competitive issue with con-
soils. and II offered, as suggested at o.

pecially necessary for the appointment
OF bishops Nothing has yet been de-

Monsignor Hallnia. the papal nuncio

The cardinals Of the congregation OF
the prOps ganda have been informed
that a meeting will be held on April G.,
at which the appointment Of coadju-
tor bishops OF st. Louis and Cincinnati
will be discussed and confirmed. Bishop
Hogson Of Kansas city is almost sure
to be appointed coadjutor archbishop
Of St Louis. upon which post Cardinal
Satolli win report. Regarding the
Cincinnati appointment. on which Car
dinal Martinelli viii make a report,
there is some competition between
bishop Moeller Of Columbus, O., and
Bishop Macs of Irvington, KY. II Is
believed that the former has the better
chance. especially as his appointment
is preferred by Archbishop Elder.
