Jim drew a large worked table corer
over the (lead man's face and turned
to see that the barricades were as,
. strong as they could be made.
When he was at his pest again he
„drew from his 'pocket that which the
doctor htia given him. It was a corn-

to carry all the rest of his life. But
the firfrf grey' light bf the niernieg
brought „Jim .back from, the Unknown
to the present, with a ShOCR. As the
mists rolled, away the teraPorary ab-
sence of the Indians was explained.

NELSON ON,THE GERMANS:
"Thank God, the Superiority of 'the

, In a letter dated September 17,
1795, Nelson wrote same Words which
tersely sum up the European situation
as it stands at the present moment:

outbid all comers, at $11,000. • Now
Mr. Tiring says that, after aearly two
years, an 'enthusiastic patriot has

FROZEN FISH REVD.
, .
Problem 0 Shipping Them for Long
Distance Solved.
• The feat of freezing live fish and
reviving 'them seyertkr weeks or
months later -has been -achieved by
the Swiss scientist, M..rictat.
The scientist put twenty-eight live
fish in a box that contained water
rioli • in • oxygen, in which. several
pieces of ice•fioated. • The temperature
of the water was thin reclined slowly
until it froze.
• At the end 'of about two months the
cake was gradually thawed,' and the
fish, it is said, were fitund alive. In
such an experiment, the scientist re-
ports, .it is essential:that the water
be gradually frozen, ' and • that it
' shall have Centained . pieces of ice
for from fifteen to eighteen hours

The process of thawing must also
be stow. Thropgh this process it is
believed that Siberian sturgeon and
