NORWEGIANS ARE
 FISHING BY PHONE

"A strange way of discovering the whereabouts of fish was recently dis covered by a Norwegian which has proven profitable as well as novel.
 X microphone, which is an instru ment that will transmit the slightest sound is lowered into the water from a fishing boat and wire from the mi crophone is attached to a telephone fixed in the boat The operator takes the receiver of the telephone and plac- es it to his ear, ready to signal to the fishermen when he hears the least sound beneath the waters, and the fishing boat is then immediately steer ed in the direction whence the sound comes. The result is-a splendid haul.
 As cod, herrings and mackerel swim in enormous shoals their passage thru the water causes a rushing sound which is clearly heard by the fisher men. who immediately steer in the re- quired direction, and let down their nets.

Miss NJ. Beams, of Chicago, was recently operated on for a strange af- lection.
 It appears that twenty years ago, when a little girl, boy playmate bit her right forearm.
 The imprints of the boys teeth al ways have remained and caused Miss Beams suffering at times Lately the marks of the teeth on the arm be- came badly inflamed and an operation has been performed to remove the i'm prints.
 The is the second operation for the same cause, the first failing to bring the desired relief The doctors are puzzled There is no indication of blood poisoning or infection. The i'm prints of the childs teeth apparently just cannot be removed from the arm, and cause a stinging sensation.
