The Swiss Pike.

The name Of the Swiss is generally
identified with the long pike of the IS
foot shaft, and most gallant attempts
have been made, by recent writers TO
prove that this celebrated weapon was a
Swiss invention and employed by the
confederates from the first. The point,
however, Is one that must remain I'M
certain, for the earliest mention of the
long pike is found i'll an order addressed
IN 1927 by Count Philip of Savoy to the
burghers Of Turin, and no one can tell
whether the Savoyards borrowed it from
the Swiss or the Swiss from the Savoy
ards. The primitive weapons of all in
fantry seem TO be the spear and shield.
The Milanese fought with such spears
and pixies eight or ten feet in length at
Legnano, the Scotch at FalkirI and
the Flemings at Courtrai, so that it is
impossible really to predicate of any one
nation that it added the requisite num-
Der of feet to make the weapons shat.
in order to make il 4 long pike. There
is no mention of pixies in the battles of
the Swiss until Sempach, and it is prob
able that in that action they were not
above ten feet in length. s

Inception of Fish Matching,

During the middle ages, and through
out the period of the European predomi-
nance Of the church of Rome, the neces-
sity Of providing a proper supply of fish
for use or Fridays and during Lent did
much to create a species Of fish culture.
That this did not extend to fish hatch
ing, but stopped short at inclosing and
regulating the supply of fresh water
fishes, seems to us probable. At the
same time, the Romans were at least
acquainted with the securing of oyster
spat, and from this to the artificial
Matching of fish ova does not seem a very
long step CT one that may not really
have been taken. The probability is,
however, that the cost of such artificial
~ produced fish would have been far be-
yond the purses of tho multitude, and
the wealthy had viviers and ponds in
which they kept thci- own fish for their
own use.
The extent to which they have gone
may be judged by the system in use
among the monks of the monasteries and
the great seigneurs Of the continent,
which was also introduced into this
country, probably by the Normans orig
inally. Tho absence of proper convey
arces for. the supply of sea fish to the
inland parts of the country made it i'm
perativc for the various proprietors to
meet their own necessities. In doing so
they did not fail to discover that certain
fishes required u particular kind of
"cultch upon which to fix their spawn.
As the supply Of this material was an
acknowledged necessity this may be
considered the first step toward fish

A MESSAGE FROM The GALE.
Listening on tho Ice Floe to the Roar of
the Coming Storm.

Listening on the Ice Floe to the Roar of
the Coming Storm.
When the swell is heavy in the ice
pack, it is often very difficult to ascer
tain from which direction it comes, and
just as difficult as it is, just SO impor-
TAFT may it be that it should be found
out rightly, as the safety of the ship
might wholly depend upon correct judg-
ment as to this. When the huge ice
masses begin to move and screw and
press on the sides of the vessel, rising
and falling in heavy swell. then there
is only one escape-namely, to work the
vessel into the fields away from the side
from which the gale blows. A mistake
as to the direction of the running swell
has often proved fatal, and the mistake
is easily made.
An old arctic sealer told me how in
hours Of dread in the arctic icepack he
had laid his ear down TO the ice foe and
listened to the roar of the coming swell
that terrible message from the furious
gale-and how he thus had discovered
whence the gale was pressing and had
been able TO save the ship from destruc-
ton. tried his method and found that
it worked admirably. What is well
worth noticing is that open water nearly
always IS to be found in the ice pack on
one side Of icebergs. The icebergs that
we met were generally III motion, car
ried onward by the ruling current. Of
ten they ran forward in the icetields at
speed Of several knots, piling up the
huge foes before their cold, glittering
bows, but behind them they left an open
sheet of water large enough for any ship.
Now, there would Of course be many
dangers for vessel tugged along in the
ice pack by such floating monster, but
believe nevertheless that this method
might be instrumental i'll saving ves-
sci from being crushed when the icefield
is moving heavily.-C. E. Borchgrevink
in Century.

he pipe e,ye the signal for the dancing

the Pipe gave the signal for the dancing
to commence. Some score Of young
men and women stood shoulder to shout
der, clasping hands, the line forming q
crescent. At the given signal, the clap
ping Of his hands by youth who stood
in front of the semicircle Of performers,
the dance commenced, the entire line of
men and women stepping slowly for
ward and then back again, each pace
being taken a little to the right, so that
a rotating movement was given to the
string of dancers As the music quick
ened so did the pace. and at each step
the body from the waist upward was
bent forward and drawn back. Nor we're
the steps themselves the same, for the
youth who gave them time ran ND and
down the limo clapping his hands and
singing and shouting directions and
changes.
The principal feature Of the dance
seemed to be the bringing down of the
right foot smartly upon the ground at
intervals, when, hand in hand, the
whole company remained with their
bodies bent for second or two, to spring
back into position again at i fresh blow
Of the pipes. Meanwhile the slow rotat-
ing movement was maintained, so that
the entire body was circling round the
musicians. What laughter and fun
there were! Men and girls giving them
selves up to the enjoyment of their ma
tional dance, which, graceful and exhil-
aratiBg, bore no trace Of the sensual
movements which usually mark the art
of dancing i'll the east.-Blackwood's
