Capt. John Morang, steward of the
Augusta Yacht Club. has a souvenir of
the old whaling days in the shape of Il
harpoon which was presented to him
some fG or 20 years ago. when he was
following Il seafaring life, and which is
probably the only one of the kind
owned in this section. The harpoon IS
about two and a half feet in length and
made of iron. The barb or sharp end
Of the. implement is hung on a pin in
the center so that when after il has
been driven into 4 whales body ana an
attempt made to pull it out, the bard
turns on the pin and is fixed crossWise
Of the wound. TO keep the barb in
position when not in use j very small
pin Of wood is used, passing through
the socket and barb. At the other end
Of the harpoon is q socket for holding
wooden shaft used in throwing the
harpoon. This shaft was made to
come out after the harpoon had been
thrown, but to prevent its being lost 1T
was supplied With beckets through
which ran the line that was attached
to the harpoon. Capt. Morang got the
harpoon from the ship James Arnold.
one of the old New Bedford whalers, to
the captain of which he on one oc
casion gave assistance when the ship
was 200 days out. was short of provi-
siOns, had sickness on board, and when
some time before the crew had
mutned The harpoon was not a new
one and had been used in many trips

People in general know that little
dals over the wckets at the ticket Of
fee of the Maine Central station are
used to indicate the time of train de-
partures east and west but once and
a while an unsophisticated mortal who
does not travel much by rail gets an
eye on them and mistakes them for
tinieplcces. 1t was one of this kind that
ran rp against them one day this
week. One dial was set at 800, the
time that train No. 19 goes east, and
the otner at 3.55. the time that train
No 102 goes west. when an Individual
approached the wicket and after look
ing ut one dial and then the other, pull
led out his watch and looked at that.
Then he looked at the dials again. q
look of beWilderment Oversprcading
his features. Finally catching the eye
Of the ticket agent he remarked: Say,
ny watch says it is 10 minutes past
8, but one O them clocks says 800 and
the other 3.55, naow which is right?'
The man in the office then explained
the use of the dials and assured the
man that his watch was right, where
upon that individual put up his time
piece, weH satisfied to learn that it had
not gone back on him.

havior threatens to become worse until
such time as the comet shall pass the
earth and its light reaches us by recession
instead OF detection, as now. That means
that June viii continue to be as little like

WANT LONGER
FISHING SEASON
Delaware Fishermen Say JeT-
Seymen Have Advantage in
Sturgeon Fishing

Fishermen on the Delaware side Of the
Delaware river are loud in their COM
plants regarding the sturgeon fishing law
The season in Delaware ends Juns 80 but
the New Jersey fishermen have no re-
strictions one man at Port Penn has
cleared over $500 catching sturgeon since
the close of the shad season. The fisher
men say that while the Government has
been making provision for the inland fish
ing no attention has been paid TO propo-
eating the sturgeon.
Considerable complaint has been heard
regarding the New Jersey fishermen who
have been using a ten-inch mesh in their
nets. over at Bayside, n. j., when the
shad fishing was about over. the fishermen
began active preparations Tor a good hau.
of sturgeon. These big fish have gradually
been getting scarcer during the past Few
years in the fishing section at Bay Side,
where Salem and Cumberland counties
meet, where they were once caught in
great numbers. Yet, with each returning
sturgeon season. the experts make great
preparations for the anticipated good
year. that is long in coming.
There was every indication that this
year would be the good year at the OPEN
ing Of the season. The first catch at Bay
Side was a fine specimen Of the sturgeon
family, and the single fish. with its mam-
moth roe. brought in the goodly sum OF
more than $500. Smaller FISH have been
caught. but the prospect is again dis
couraging for the fishermen, who have
expended much money in boats and nets
and help for busy season.
During the recent years Of scarcity
the caviar has almost doubled in price
In the old days OF plenty, the flesh Of the
huge fish was considered virtually worth.
