My arms were in a nwniont pinioned, ren- dering ine helpless as a child. \\•ill no' terrible atilieU' n upon me, I could neither defend myself nor could I see my assailrints. Whoever the latter were, 11 was evident that they were deter- mined, and, further, that I had been (levelly entrapped. My first thought was that I had been arrested, but ere the lapse of n few nioments the hideous truth become iin- pres,'ed forcibly upon Inc. i tried to light tor life, but my wrists had been seized In grips of steel, and after a few desperate wrenches I stood, bound, and utterly unconscious of where 1 was. My seat position was, to a certain degree, plain. The man whom 1 had l:etleved to be a constable was no po- lice -officer at all, but some thief or London linen; 1, far loo coniidiig, had neglected to take the precaution of feeling his uniform. A shrewd suspicion overcame rue that this trap hnd been purposely laid for me. The man who had posed as a police Inspector had obtained from me a signed declaration of the remarkable occurrence, for what, reason 1 knew not. Dnd they now Intend to silence nie for ever? The thought struck a deep and terrible dread within my heart. A blind man is the sport of Fate, aid, being utterly defenceless, Is at the mercy of every person evilly disposed. Street urchins play practical jokes up- on him, women deceive him, and -nen take advantage of his physical infirm- ity for their own ends. Truly I had fallen into bad company. To my demands lo know where I was, no response was given. Indistinct whisperings sounded about me. and by the liquid "s's" of one per- son 1 felt convinced that a woman was present. Lillie time, however was given in whieh to distinguish my surroundings, for two persons gripped my bound arms and drew nee roughly through a narrow door, across an uneven floor. and thence down a long, crooked flight of stone steps. Fran below came up a dank, mouldy smell, as 11 some chamber long un- opened, and suddenly there broke upon my quick ears the wash of water. In that moment of mental agony the truth was rendered plain. I was not in a police-slat$on, as I believed, but In some house beside the Thn►nes, and, moreover, 1 was descending to the solea -going to my death. Once again, as a last effort, I strug- gled'and fought with the fierce de:spern- lion begotten of terror, but in a mo- ment the strong hands that held me pushed me violently forward, and 1 then felt myself falling helplessly from some dizzy -height. My head reeled. and weakened as 1 already was. all know- ledge of things became Netted out. The feud* of a cool, synopethetic hand upon my brow was the first thing 1 subsequently remembered.

I remembered that while 1 had reclined upon the silken couch in that house of mystery this startling suspicion had crossed my mind.

The Bay of Fundy has always teen a ferrous flshing ground, espeoia!ly for ss,lmon anfl shad. kitty years ago the esti were 10 plentitutthat a method was used to catch thein which seems odd row -a -days when a fish has at least half a chnnae to escape the hook or the net. The tide rises high in the Bay of Fundy and its headwaters. and of this tact the fishermen of fifty years ago took full advantage. At high tide the water makes sizable rivers of tiny streams. Large schools of shad and other flsh in those days came up the newels with the tide. Tho method of catching them was simple in the extreme. At low tide ai seine would be staked to the river ted and the top of the seine weighed to the bottom with leads. Then after ttio tide haat risen the fishermen eoul.% full up the seine so that It formed a barrier across the entire river bed. When the tide began to run out the fish would find their return to the sea end freedom barred effecttvel)•. The little fellows. of course, would poke their way through the seine. but the ones worth catching would flop iitipot- enUy against the mashes. Soon the tide would be out comp!ete- Iy leaving only a tool or so of water in the river. Several thousand fists would be (hero for thgl Inking. A pair of rubber boots and a basket would be sufllclent equipment for the fishermen, who waded out and gathered them in wholesale. The fish don l run up the rivers any more and the se'ning must be done In the bay itself. This Is profitable, it is true, but a fish with half n head can avoid capture for n long time. } tsl%E%G FOR FISH. NIeihoJ Employed by N: -live Fishermen in an India Stream. A unique method of flshing is em- ployed by natives along the i'anlaung River In India. Two dugout boats are employed about thirty feet long, with two men with long poles, one in the bow, the other at the stern punting the boat along. They stretch a long rope made of bam- boos and plaited grass about a hun- dred yards long and weighted about every ten yards with big stones. This they let down into the water, and the fish are frightened toward the bank. The divers then jump in three at n time, remaining down about twenty seconds. They carry gaffs about eighteen inches long and fishhooks with cords attached. \Vhen They strike a fish they let go the gaff end the fish Is hauled up in the. tont.

'1.11E i3ELATIVE VALUE OF CASEIN AND FAT. Bulletin No. 156, from the \Viseensin Expc rancid Station, des. riles "A Simple Test fur Casein in Milk, and its IW!n- tion to the Dairy Industry," At the eu1- set we would say, once arid far all. that About the Faiu'i t ter part of the preceding sentence. hi our humble sptnion the method of valu-` ing goods according to the heat pro-, duced is far from satisfactory. Jigs any - cue knows, the pro'ee s cr ruuscle form- e ors are the ►tx,st expensive forms on ♦ f•reds. The workingman in Great Bri- + fain has found Canadian cheese at six - .1 pence a iseuud the very cheapest tnuscte•' former the can buy. Ile may not know much about the chemistry of Iced, but he knows that cheese "keeps up iris muscle" better than any other tort, considering cost, hence he buys o cats cheese in large quantities. if he mukl not get it at sixpence he would be wilting to tiny more. but none can blame him for pelt+ng, it as cheaply as possible. We look for the time ii seems to be another case of "1 toil when farmers will Le ready to pal 03 jou iso." Tho concit►sians reached by the author of the Ilulietin are the same as those we put forward nbeut fifteen years ago, says Pref. D. I1. Ilan.

'This clearly shows that for cheese production, the amounts:of casein and fat should to known to both producer —the man who owns the cow—and the man who buys the milk. "In the milk of individual ecWS there is certainly no definite and constant relation between the amounts of (at and casein. "On the basis of cost of production, it is a fair assumption that it has caus- ed the feeder as much to produce a pound of casein as a pound of fat. Tho proteins to which casein belongs are nitrogen -containing Lolies, and are. the farmer's most expensive nutrients. When the farmer sells casein he is sel- ling nitrogen; but when he sells fat he sells his cheapest source of nutrients, 7'l1E AIR AND \WATER. 11 appears that there is something ir- rational and unbalanced in the relative commercial values of these two pro- ducts. From the farm point of view, the sale of casein represents a greater agricultural drain than when the (at is sold, and from this viewpoint alone it would appear that these two milk constituents should at least have a closer commercial value," \Vith all of which we heartily agree, yet we find persons talking and writ- ing as if .the value of milk for all pur- poses depends upon the fat contained. We trust That the management of cur fairs will not concede any more points to those who are continually clamoring for more value to Le placed on milk fat. For butter production fat is un- doubtedly the constituent of milk which determines its value, and for butter ranking, fat Ls all That we need consid- er. But the making of butter Ls a coin - partitively small industry in the Prov- ince of Ontario. 'fie great bulk of the milk is used directly as a food, or is nianufactured Into cheese. All public Wets. based on production. should take into consideration the fact that tho bulk of the milk produced in Ontario is used for the manufacture of cheese. To place loo much importance on the fat alone is more or less an injustice. This is not written in a controversial spirit, nor with the object of "hitting'' any- one, but wIth the trope that those re- sponsible will see the justice of the foregoing, and not eater any further to the "fat" cry. The writer goes on to say: "One ani- mal may yi rid a milk containing 2.7 per cent. casein and 0 per cent. tat. whilo another produces n milk of 2.7 per cent casein an:1 4 per cent. fat; and still another a milk carrying 3..5 per cent. casein and f per cent. fat. PA. pressed in another way, we have milks where, for every 100 pounds fat. there may be anywhere from 40 to 73 pounds of casein. Surely it Ls clear that, for cheese production, n milk carrying for every 100 pounds of tel, 73 rounds of casein, would yield more cheese than one containing but 40 pounds of case- in."
