A NATURAL FISH TRAP.

miles from the island Of San Fernando
de Noronha. 1t is fourteen miles In
circumference and from one-fourth 10
onehalf mile wide. At ebb tide the
reefs are almost completely out Of the
water and at high tide They are on q
level with the sea. The difference be-
tween high and low tide is about nine
feet. The bay is completely sheltered
(as shown In the sketch and the water
within the inclosure Is about thirteen
feet deep. During low tide the en-
trance Of the bay is almost closed by
q shoal. The coast in these attitudes
abounds In fish, for which the Atoll das
Rocas furnishes a favorable retreat
and at the same time constitutes a
trap Of gigantic proportions. This pc
cullar island is formed by an aggrega-
ton Of very porous limestone with
numberless holes and crevasses. form
ing d natural shelter for all fish and
creeping things" according 10 a report
from United States Consul General
Seeger At Rio de Janeiro.
Rio de Janelro imports about two
tons Of salted or dried fish per week
all Of which could easily be supplied
from the Atoll das Rocas, besides lob
sters and other 'fruttl di mare" if
fishing were properly organized at this
unique island, which, in fact, consti-
tutes the greatest natural fish reser-
voir and at the same time the most
gigantic natural fish trap known 10
geography.
On his retiring from active service
in 1899. the Brazilian Admiral. Pedro
Benjamin de Cerquera Lima, obtained
from the Brazilian Government the ex-
elusive right TO the fishing industry at
this island for thirty years, and after
his recent death his children inherited
the monopoly, but they are not making
use of ii, and, il is said, have agreed TO
dispose Of their privileges 10 company

pose-Philadelphi Record.

Such a device was recently patented.
The tongue Of this buckle is hardly
distinguishablc from the kind used on
an ordinary strap buckle, hut close
inspection reveals the fact that the end
Of this tongue. instead of resting loose
ly against the cross-bar. enters n slot
In the latter. Inside this cross-bar is
a sliding bolt, having lug which en-
ters slot in the end of the tongue,
and which can be released only 10y
movement OF the bolt in n lateral di-
rectlon. This is accomplished 10y
means of the key inserted through the
slot I'm the end of the cross-bar. The
pressure of the end Of the tongue on
the slanting face of the lug drives the
latter back TO lock the buckle without
the use of the key, and only by mutila'
ton or the use Of the key can the lock
be opened.

of itself, with the encouragement Of
the sun.
Last spring it was noticed that the
ball was rotating, and repeated meas
urements have demonstrated the fact
beyond any question. The motion av-
erages about an inch month. 1t will
be noted from the engraving that the
circular unpolished spot at which the
ball originally was placed On the ped
estal is now about half way up, show
ing a quarter turn of the ball.
Scientists are not agreed as TO the
exact explanation of this distressing
phenomenon. though il is apparent that
the movement is due in some way 70
the heat of the sun. Probably the heat
causes one side of the ball TO expand
more than the other, thus causing q
creeping motion which Is infnitesimal
from day to day, but which is natice
able after time.

swivel in Scott's "Antiquary." Wbeth-
or the supposed divining properties
OF the hazel forked stick have any
basis Of scientific reason or not, the
faith in its ability 10 locate springs is
firmly fixed. and even harder 10 shake
than the belief in the weather-controI-
ling power OF the moons phases. A
recent issue OF the London News con
tains an article on the subject. Illus
trated from photographs taken on the

"DOwsing" is an old cOllOquial word
given in the search for underground
springs by means Of the hazel rod.
The implement is forked stick. and
the two ends Of the fork are held In
the hands Of the "dowscr.' who walks
slowly over the vicinity Of the desired
water. When the dowser steps on the
ground Immediately over hidden
spring. the rod is supposed 10 turn de-
cdedly, sometimes even violently, In
his grasp. About one person In forty

ing.
Professor Barrett. In his article Il
the News. says he considers the action
OF the rod simply as an index OF un'
conscious muscular spasm occurring
in the dowser when in the neighbor'
hood Of underground water.
According to the reports Of the Ips
wich Scientific Society. which Is in
vestigating the matter. some dowseR
do not use the rod nj all. but rely on
their own sensations.
Research was made into the mys-
teries OF dowsing long ago. In 1896
Count de Tristan published Il work
on his conclusions. He states that
the rod not only revolves In the vicin'
ity Of spring. but turns violently II

ing. One investigator who lived In
the early part of the last century col
lected over six hundred accounts OF
successful dowsing experiments. To
day many American farmers resort TO
the witch-hazcl stick when seeking for
water.
Along with the faith Of dowslng goes
the wholesome distrust which sooner
or later brings such matters 10 sci
entific and healthy conclusion. This
distrust is not Of modern origin, as
Hosea, in the Scriptures. reproaches
the Jews for their trust in The divlning-
rod.

left the wharf and is footing II rapidly
down stream. Then you remember that
the Sandy Hook hne is the fastest out of

matter of that. There is yet something in
store to thrill the nan who has not seen
the 'skyscrapers, standing together like
a Dand OF giants at a hunting, as they
transcend the purple vapors Of evening,
and catch on their higher portions the
rosy hight from the setting sun. Then, as
even more steadily than the ancient mar
lner, we drop below the kirk. below the
hill, below the lighthouse top we have
passed the Statue Of Liberty. the Narrows

of Staten Island running of misti,v toward
New Jersey. On the other side the lights
OF Coney Island sink in distance. and pres
