FISHING A MECHANICAL ART

to Turn Crank.

Most operations nowadays can be
performed by machinery. Time was
when the best sport in angling was
obtained by the use of rope, with
patience at one end and suitable
bait at the other. The Wide World
Magazine gives revised edition Of
this plan. Here 1t IL In all Its sim
pliclty:
You hang IN immense four-corner-
ed net on rope which passes over
Il pulley, turn handle, and drop the
net into the sea. After time, which
may vary according to the mood you
nre in and the quality Of the tobacco
you are smoking, you wind up the net
and look into 1t. II 1t Is empty, you
let the handle 60 few turns, and
drop the net into the sea again; II 1t
contains any fish you draw 1t and bag
them. In this way you reduce fishing
to mechanical art. When You haul
up this huge net from the brlny deep

1t contains one tiny, solitary fish
~ was our case--after many unsuc-
ressful "casts," you rejoice with Joy

SITTING OUT THE sLAcKERs
Hospital Assistant, Threatening 70
Cook Alive One Patient to obtain
Grease, Reduces Sick Call.

Stories Of how to outwit impostors
who report sick in order to loaf in hos
ptals are among the Oldest traditions
of the medical branches of all Aries,
says a writer in medical journal. A
fourteenth.century collection of anec.
dotes shows that the malignerer was
known in those days and Cardinal de
Bari, who had hospital at verceil,
found its resources were being ex-
hausted by mea Of this type. He sent
one of his Subordinntes to investigate.
This man. PetrillO by name, who was
something of humorlst, dressed him
self in the robes Of physician and
assembled all the patients for an ex-
animation of their wounds. Then
he gravely said: "Thcre Is clearly
but one remedy needed for the cure Of
hlcers of this character, and that Is an
ointment made of human grease. This
very day intend, In consequence, to
draw by lot one from among you, who
will be plunged alive into boiling wa,
ter and cooked for the salvation of
ALL" Seized by fear, all the patients
made haste to report themselves fully
recovered from their ulcers, and con-
sequently there was room in the hos
pital for those who really needed
care.
Physicians today, by the use Of SIM
liar ruses. have discovered many "hos.
pltal slnckers."

IRON TURNED TO COPPER.
Curious Transformation OF a Pickax
Found In One of Rich Mines
of Cuba,

New York Sun: Not so very long
ago curious find was made in one
OF the copper mines at FL Cobre,
Cuba. These mines, once among
the richest in the world, were aban-
doned for long time on account Of
the instructions in Cuba against
the Spanish rule n 1868 the coal
supply was cut off by the insur-
gents, and consequently pumping
the mines became impossible, and
they were soon filled with water.
After the Spanish war an Ameri-
can company bought the mines and
proceeded to pump out the water.
In one of the shafts thus made ac-
cessible was found what once rep
resented an iron pickax, as we'll as
some crowbars. The metal in these
implements had, it is said, turned to
copper. Extraordinary as this may
appear. it can be scientifically ex-
planned.
The water, filtering through the
rock and the copper ore veins, dis
