Octopus in a New Sphere. —Readers of Victor Hugo’s powerful novel, “ Toilers of the Sea,” will have grim recollections of the devil fish. Hugo’s countrymen have established an “industry” drawing its supplies from the octopus tribe. Demi fish are now sold in Paris under the name of tinned lobsters ! Masters’ Responsibility. —According to the American Lav) Journal, the American law makes the master liable for the result of accidents which have resulted from—l. Negligence in subjecting the servant to the risk of injury from defective or unsafe machinery, buildings, premises, or appliances. 2. Negligence in subjecting him to the risk of injury from unskilful, drunken, or negligent, or otherwise unfit follow-servants. 3. Negligence, where the master, or his vice-principal personally interferes, and either does or commands the doing of the act which caused the injury.
