ocean are washed up and carried to shore
There are depths in mid-ocean that are as
quiet during a heavy tornado as on a
peaceful summer day, but the ordinary
fishes, with which we are acquainted, can
not penetrate to such places. The heavy
pressure of the water would soon crush
out life
The fishes that seek shelter in the har-
bors and coves also encounter danger that
becomes too great for them at times In
ordinary storms they can find protection
from the action of the waves by getting
on the lee side of a breakwater, either
natural or artificial, or in the deep water
in some stream Here they remain IN
molested until the storm is over
But when tornado sweeps across the
ocean continuously for day or two, the
protecting powers of breakwaters and
headlands prove of little avail There Is
then confusion and perplexity among the
fnny tribes of the bays They grow
alarmed, and many perish by losing con-
troll of their actions. They rush hither
and thither, hoping to find a better shell
ter, and generally get within the terrible
everything towards the rocks or the
beach. When caught in the furious sur
face current, the helpless creatures are
beaten to death even before they are
washed upon the land. The wiser ones re
main in deep water, and some seek the
mud in the bottom of the bay
In winter, many of the fishes burroW
into the bottom of bays and coves to pass
the cold months. They get so deep that
they are rarely disturbed by the battling
of the elements. Consequently a winter
storm is not so destructive to fishes as a
severe summer one, when they are abroad
in great shoals.

profit. An ounce of it is worth. barring
Iracuons, $50 any place in civilization. Yo1
can buy as much of anything Won want
for an ounce of dust as you can for o.
gold piece. All stores in mining districts
are provided with gold scales, and the
miners gold is accepted as so mucb ooir
OF the realm. The quantity Of gold il
takes to make a dollar is surprising Ia ora
not accustomed to handling the metal. So
much dust as you can hold on the lareesr
blade of your pocket knife is worth s. to
$3.50. When you consider that this small
quantity is the yield of thirty or fortv
pans you can imagine how little bulk thera
is to the gold saved in one pan. A coined
gold dollar is smaller than a silver dime
Now, If a miner can save in one painful
of dirt the tenth part of a gold dollar he
is making fair wages.
Some of the gold is In such fine parti-
eles that it floats and does not sink to tba
bottom like a shot A considerable portion
Of such floating gold runs over the tor Of
the pan and is lost. 1t is estimated that in
the first placer mining in California about
one-fourth Of the gold was thus lost. To
this day Cinnamon are engaged in panning
the refuse dirt Of early miners and they
make from SIPS to 81 a day in the opera
tons. In Klondike, where so much of the
gold is coarse, the miners lose very little
OF the precious metal by reason Of its
floating away. Placer mining is the sim
plest of all processes for getting gold out
of the ground and can be carried on only
where there is an ample supply of water.
All reports from Klondike agree that the
best "diggings" are in the beds OF creeks,
and that the further down they get the
richer the dirt, until bedrock is reached
To stop a smile on the lips of any old
miner who reads this, let it be said that
there is no intention of giving him infor-
nation on the subject of placer mining
Very many mature people in the wide
circle of the Times-Herald readers know
as little about the gathering of gold as Of
the operations in the African diamond
fields or the making of air ships. Perhaps
a quarter of a million school children in
Chicago alone will have an interest in
learning how gold is washed in pans It is
a threadbare story to those who lived in

A REMARKABLE MAN.
Sheds His Entire Skin Regularly Once
a Year.

II. G. Sullivan, of Butte, Mont, a for
AMERICAN this account of the strange
affection, il so it may be called, Of one Of
his neigh bors:
John II. Price, OF Butte, Mont, is per-
haps the most wonderful man living. He
is now about forty-one years of age and
has shed his skin regularly once year
ever since he was six months old. During
the Worlds Fair at Chicago Mr.. Price
was on exhibition there and was exam
ined by eminent physicians. His case
was declared beyond the power of science
to explain. 1t is said nothing like it has
ever been known.
"There is nothing unusual in his APP
pearanee, and he seems to be normal
man in all respects. Until lately Mr..
Price has attracted little attention, al
though quite well known in different
parts of Montana. One of the curious
features Of this freak is that it has always
taken place on the same date of each year,
Dor removed the skin from one of his
hands, rs one might take off a kid glove,
and it is now displayed in the window of
a drugstore in Butte Last year his hide
was taken off whole and stuffed.
"Mr. Price is a miner and worked in one
of the mines here until short time ago
when he secured lay-off. Just now he is
exhibiting at the Union theatre. In a
week or two after the old skin has been
laid aside, Mr.. Price will go back to work
in the mine again as if nothing unusual
had occurred

HOT WEATHER FOOD.
Healthful Dishes that can be Pre-
pared with Little Fire.

During the hot months" writes Mrs.
diet should consist largely of dainty, cold,
lean meat, green succulent vegetables,
and fruits. 1t is a popular fallacy that
the free use of sub-scid fruits during hot
weather causes disturbances of the
bowels No diet is more healthful than
ripe fruit provided it is properly masticat-
ed and swallowed before or after bread
and butter, but never with it.
The lighter wheat preparations, such
as farina, wheatlet and glutena, should
be substituted for the heat giving oat
meal for breakfast. Cook enough one
morning to last two, as they are just as
palatable cold rs they are hot. While
fried food may seem n little out OF place
in the warm weather, there are certain
light dishes that may be utilized for
breakfast. Cornmeal or hominy cro-
quotes, or even rice croquettes, may be
made the day before and simply fried at
serving time. Squash and cucumbers
may be dipped and fried. In the chating-
dish one may have Clipped beef, creamed
or fricasseed harbecued beef, cold NUT
ton warmed in little tomato sauce, and
dishes of eggs, such as omelets, scrambled
eggs, creamed eggs or poachcd eggs.
"Fruit should be served in a fiat dish,
with, if the weather is particularly hot, a
+ little chopped ice -prinkled over it, Fruit
that Is very acid should not be served too
cold Powdered sugar and cream should
accompany the fruit course. In the place
of chops or steaks We may have eggplant,
/ broiled or fried tomatoes, PANIED toma-
toes, dainty omtlet with peas, omelet
with asparagus tips, or with parsley, fol-
/ lowing he fruit. Corn oysters and corn
/ fritters may also take the place Of meat.

A LESSON FROM A LADY.

As my pet in dresses trailing,
Tightly clinging TO the railing
OF the stairs, descends she criea,
'1'm lady-lnr.cst size"
Bonnet tied beneath her curls,
Ha2piest of happy girls,
But on the lowest step she slips.
Hcadlong to the floor she trips-
Finery is all unheeded.
Tears nre flowing unimpeded.
To my lap she straightway flies,
There to hide her tear stained eyes
you're lady mustn't cry"
Answer comes with sob and sigh
As smooth atan.led curl,
mo; I'm Just your little girl"
We may stride in plume and feather
Proudly through the sunny weather,
But when clouds of trouble fall
Round about Ms like pail
All UNDECIDED garments fine,
Straight ". seek the breast divine,
Far from worldly cares and harms
Humblcl children in his arms.

The gold excitement in Alaska calls US

North Surry to look back to 1919, and

been, and more who still are, citizens of

Farmers and Good Roads.

The farmers would be more benefited
by good roads than any other class. The
value OF farm is determined by its ac-
feasibility The land that is favored
with best transportation facilities,
whether by rail or river, will bring the
best price per acre when put upon the
market There is no doubt that one mile
of good macadamized road is more val
liable in this country than five miles of
pillow and scraper road that goes to pieces
In one year.
The turning over of soil is labor in
vain, and we do not censure the farmer
when ordered to work on the roads
when be either takes pitchforl or a
hoe or, if he is rheumatic, "a mattress.
One mile Of good roads made each year
would be more beneficial than all the
work done in a township. IL the neal
future there Will be some device found
that will enable our farmers to make
good roads at small cost.-Jamestown

several who have visited California and
