There is a woman in New York who
keeps a shop not far from the Wal

novel industry of making fish scale

fastened together or to wires with 4
strong fish glue, which is singularly
durable. The industry passed to the
West Indies, where it was adopted by
the Spaniards, and during the Cuban
war came over to the mainland and
found o home in Florida.

FOREIGN COMMENT ON THE MESSAGE

LONDON, December g. Some OF the
London newspapers regard President
ROosevelts message as a disappoint-
ment inasmuch as according to their
views. "he adopts a cautious and con-
sentative policy rather than a revolu-
tlonary one In dealing with the trust
question and the tariff" on the whole.
however, while carefully examining the
message in detail, there is no DISPOSE
ton on the part of the press to strongly
criticise H.
The general impression Is that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has been influenced by
the warning echoes Of the last elections,
and that he seeks 20 attract rather
than 10 attempt 10 compel the support
of Congress,
A leading paper says "The message
Is more remarkable for the lofty ideal
ism OF It's language than Tor any bold
ness In lis specific recommendations"
The Presidents enunclalion ~ the

NEW YORK, December 3.-Tele-
graphing by way of London from the
camp of the Sultan OF Morocco. near
Mekinez, the Times correspondent
says the Berber chiefs have taken ref
uge in sanctuary near Mokinez
Peace negotiations are likely to be sue
cessful. The Sultan's army will remain
among the Berbers until the terms of
the peace treaty are carried out. when
the court will return and winter at
Mokinez.
The terms which the Moorish gov
eminent will accept include a heavy
fine in money, large number OF host
ages, and payment of several years
arrears in taxes. The entire district is
deserted, the enemy having taken ref
uge with the women and tlocked in
the mountain districts, where attack
during the winter weather is very diff
