Fishing.

A novel method of fishing is being used off San Diego, Cal. Incandescent electric lights are lowered into the water at night and a large net is placed below them. The fish are attracted by the glare and are plainly visible. When sufficiently numerous the net. is hauled up. The catches are enormous. The muse should lead like a star which is very far off; but that does not imply that we are to follow foolishly, falling into sloughs. When we are weary with travel we lay down our load and rest. So, when weary with the burden of life, why do wa not rest?
