A walk of two or three minutes brought us to the side of a deep, dark pool, which, witli the glare of tho lamp dancing over it like a “will o’-tlio wisp,” looked like the bottomless pit.

Holding it thus for about a minute, ho raised it even ly and slowly to the surface, and atound it. to our delight and astonishment, were fifteen or twenty fish ofdifierontslzcs press ing their noses against the glass as if eager to get at tho light. Then, selecting the best fish, our host adroitly lapped four of them on the head with the bill of his knifo. They turned on their sides dend without a flutter.
