San Francisco's Market Flu

What is known as ''the market fleet ~
which catches fish for San Francisco, is
very much mixed fleet. There is the
felucca, manned by Italians, Portuguese
and Greeks, with all the peculiarities of
the Mediterranean Sea. These boats are
stanch and will stand heavy weather, and
cases of disaster are rare. The rig of a
!single-masted fclucca consists of large
lateen sail, with jib, the latter set on a
bowsprit which runs aft of hole in the
left-hand side of the bow. The sail has
a yard thirty feet long. For thirty
two foot felucca the mansail will have a
yard Of forty-one feet.
Cinnamon have their special types of
boats. What might be called the true
junk can hardly be SAID to cleave the
American waters. There are certain
notifications which necessity has forced
on Chinese conservatism, The nearest
to the original Chinese form is a carvel
built craft. 1t is sharp aft, like that
famous old model, the pinkie -the last
American relic of the craft used in Eng
land when the Armada approached
English shores. Chinese rudders are
perforated. The vessels are small, and
the largest not over fifteen tons. They
fish as far down as the Mexican Coast.
All is fish to the Chinese. In their skiffs
the Chinese show adaptation, combining
IN their lines something of the dorey
and of their native light craft. The
propulsion of their small boats is by
sweeps worked precisely in the fashion

The Russians have made singula,
discovery in Central Asia. In Turkesr
tan, GU the right bank of the Amou
Dalra, in cham of rocky hills near the
Bokharan town of Karki, are a number
of large caves, which, upon examination,
were found to lead to an underground
city, built, apparently, long before the
Christian era. According to the effigies,
Inscriptions and designs upon the gold
and silver money unearthed from among
the ruins, the existence of the town dates
back to some two centuries before the
birth of Christ. The ediices contain all
kinds of domestic utensils, pots, urns,
vases, and so forth, The high degree of
civilization attained by the inhabitants
of the city is shown by the fact tina; they
built in several stories, by the symmetry
of the streets and squares, and by the
beauty of the baked clay and metal
utensils, and of the ornaments and coins
which have been found. 1t is supposed
that long centuries ago this city, so care
fully concealed in the bowels of the
earth, provided all entire population
with 4 refuge from tdc incursions of
nomadc sayages and robbers.

Letter writingisof great antiquity
The sending of letters by POST was
originally established by the Roman
emperors for safe and speedy trans
mission Of public documents and in
modern Europe by Louis XI. of
France for the same purpose. The
first approach to a regular postal sys-
tenn in England was in the time of
Charles l. Stamps for letters were
first temporarily used in France in
the time Of Louis XIV, and in diff
fercnt devices were afterward used in
Spain and Sweden. In the year 1910
the postal reform was first put in OPP
Grafton in England, and was first used
in the United States in 1917.
