"One day when I was fishing this river I actually hooked the same fish en no less than three different occaâ€" sions. * "As we were fishing for trout, these young salmon became a great nuisâ€" ance, and in consequence were not reâ€" moved very carefully from the hook. Some of these, therefore, were rather badly wounded when thrown back into the water, and; one would have thought that they would lie low until ‘ they had recovered. "When, as a boy," he says, "I was fishing on the Leith, it was a comâ€" mon occurrence to hook, cast after cast, a young salmon (known locally as ‘parr‘), which, according to the fishing regulations, we were required to throw back into the river. A keen angler, who has had conâ€" siderable experience, states that, in his opinion, which has only been arâ€" rived at after most careful observaâ€" tion, fish are almost totally unable to feel pain as we understand it. CGeneral opinion appears to be that fish are almost insensible to pain. It Is Generally Thought That They Do Not Suffer to Any Extent. Out along the roads are Belgian andi German advanced posts, most of them hidden, where night and day men lie! in the mud and watch and listen for | the other side to try an attack along! the road. That seldom happens, and when it does the machine guns sweep the attacking force off the road into| the cold, muddy water of No Man's‘ Sea. I There is only one way for Belgians and Germans to get at each other on land. _ Here and there raised roads run from one line to the other, isthmuses between the pools of water. These causeways, sole survivors of Belgium‘s peaceful days in all that warâ€"blighted region, stand up like the backbones of half ~ submerged sea ‘ monsters, spined with broken trees. The risk of all these things is noâ€" thing to the thrill of meeting a Gerâ€" man patrol boat. Hearing the strokes of a punt pole the Belgians crouch tensely, the safely pins removed from their bombs, until the German craft is almost upon them. Then the bombs are hurled, and in the racking roar that follows the Belgians slip away as silently as they came. In No Man‘s Sea,. The strangest part of this strange warfare is that getting back to their own shore after such fights is comparâ€" atively without danger if there are no star shells. The Germans in their trenches are afraid of hitting their own boat if they fire, and so are the Belgians, for neither side knows which boat threw the bomb, which boat was hit. Creeping silently close to the Gerâ€" man shore, to see what the enemy is up to over there, is a risky undertakâ€" ing. _ Any moment a star shell may flood the water with light and reveal the little boat and its crew to watchâ€" ing marksmen, and through the night machine guns sporadically spray the water near the German trenches on the chance of hitting something unâ€" seen _ Sometimes they are mines. l By day all it quiet on those lowâ€" lands except for the occasional crack of the sniper‘s rifle or the rumble of the usual bombardment. _ But when night falls there begins exciting, touch and go work in the dark between the trenches on No Man‘s Sea. Strange Warfare, This, For consider@ble stretches the waâ€" ter is nearly a mile wide. _ Just at its edge little boats lie hidden under the Belgian trenches. _ In the darkness the Belgian infantrymen steal down to them and now become marines, set forth on patrol. It needs not only daring and coolâ€" ness, but some special training to do this hazardous work. The men use padded or muffled oars, sometimes punt poles; sometimes they lie flat in the bottom of the boat and paddle with their hands. _ They are armed with bombs, sometimes with long knives. For two years most of the Belgian front has been under water, the barâ€" rier the Belgian flung across the Gerâ€" man path in the first year of war by opening the dikes. On one side of the water are the Belgian troncbe\or: the other side the German. There miles. and miles of" flooded, sodden country with here and there a village shelled to rubble, one of the most desoâ€" late regions of the whole desolate western front. J There are some thousands of solâ€" diers in the gallant little Belgian army holding that corner of their unhappy kingdom still untrod by German foot who answer Kipling‘s description of the marine; they are soldiers and sailors too. _ How these Belgian inâ€" fantrymen fight in boats at night is one of many strange storis of the wWar. \ Much of the Fighting on the Belgian Front is Carried on in Boats on No Man‘s Sea. SOLDIERS AND SAILORS TOO ARE MANY OF THE TROOPS. THE AMPHIBIOUS BELGIAN SOLDIER DO FISH FEEL PAIN?

Why did she turn out a larger number of shelly than any other woman in the shed? Why did she take such a pride in her work? Why was she so particular that every shell which passed through her hands should be so perfect? _ The women talked, as women ‘will. At first the invalid was reticent and evasive. Gradually the visitor workâ€" ed the conversation round into intiâ€" mate channels. She spoke of home life, of life before the war, and of dear ones at the front, and at last learned what she wished to know. The woman‘s yellowâ€"hued cheeks were sunken and hollow. She was so weak that she could scarcely put out a hand to greet her visitor. There was no lack of comforts in the room, and a doctor had been; but the pain in the woman‘s face was pitiable to behold.
