Fish a. Surgeons.

"Along the Caribbean sea-" said an
artist who has recently returned from
those parts, 'it is common thing to
see men and women and children sit
ting on the banks of streams with
their bare legs soaking in the water.
They have strange reason for this
strange conduct. They are much
troubled by little insect-a kind of
tick-which buries itself in their flesh,
and is very hard to dislodge; and SO,
when the ticks have got in them they
go to the water, bury the infected
parts beneath the surface and keep
quite still. The fish have fondness
for ticks, and they hasten to the
cleaning human flesh they see, and,
pulling the ticks out, devour them. In
that manner in the Caribs fish are
called upon to act as surgeons. Eff
cient and painless surgeons they
make. too"

DETECT THE MINT THIEVES.
Japanese Use the X-Rays to Catch
Employees Who Conceal Coins In
Their StOmachs.

A firm in Philadelphia has recently
sold to the japanese government one
of their X-ray machines for a novel
purpose, reports the New York Post.
The representatives of Japan who
placed the order said that in the
governmental mints a great many
gold dollars are coined and there has
been considerable loss through dis
honest employees swallowing the small
coins and thus taking them out of
the mints. There has been no way
OF preventing this until a clever Off
cial suggested the use of the X-rays,
and the machine was ordered at
once.
It is not proposed to put every en-
ploye to the test when leaving the
mints, but he will be searched by cleo
tricity from time to time, unexpect-
edly, and any one of the employees
may be called up at any time to un-
dergo the test. It is believed that
the fear of detection will prevent the
stealing, at least in the form now
used. It is suggested that a machine
might be used with profit in the
South African diamond fields to make
the black laborers honest. The field
for X-rays in this direction seems to
be large.

SEEK A LOST SHIPS GOLD.
4 M ericaa Adventures ON q Hazard
GUS 4nest On New Zealand's
Coast

An American schooner lately ar
rived In New Zealand with a party
who propose to search for long-lost
treasure. Nearly 20 years have passed
since the ship General Grant left Aus
tralia for London with cargo of gold
snd wool. At one of the Auckland is
lands, near New Zealand, she met with
= frightful fate. She was sucked into
4 sort of colossal cave, but tits possible
she might have got out if a huge wave
had not lifted her SO high that the
masts, striking the roof, were driven
through her bottom. Through the
openings thus made the water rushed
In and she speedily sank. Only one
sailor and two children were saved.
After some months on the island
they were picked up by a passing
steamer and taken to New Zealand.
Several attempts have been made to
recover the large quantity Of gold
that went down in the General Grant,
but they were all failures. It remains
to be seen whether the American ad-
venturers will be more successful. II
they should recover the gold is it their
property? That seems nice legal
point.

AN ARISTOCRATIC TUBER.
The Variety Known a. "The North
ern Star" Ii One of the Fairy
Tales of Finance.

The romance of potatoes is but inn
perfectly understood by the majority
of those who eat them every day.
Nor do they usually occur to the
speculator as basis of operation.
Yet the history of the variety known
rs ''The Northern Star" is one Of
the fairy tales of finance. 1t was
brought out last year, says a LON
don paper, by grower In Markinch,
In Fifeshire, who parted with a few
tons at the extraordinary price of
6 1910 a ton. To this rate, which
works out at about ten shillings a
pound, he religiously adhered. At
this rate two pounds were purchased
by firm of dealers belonging to
Bardney, near Lincoln. From these
two pounds they have this year
grown 13O pounds, and are so pleased
with the result that they have
bought quantity more at the rate
of e 500 ton. Two other growers,
Mr.. Kline, of Manham-le-Fen, and
Mr.. Blades, of Epworth, purchased a
ton at the same figure, and have
paid more for subsequent consign-
ments. After this the story of the
King Edward VII. potato, which be-
gan to sell at e12 los. a ton and
rose to s40, seems quite tame,
though 1t would have been sufficient
ly remarkable under any other cir
cumstances.

The Secret of Chicago.

It was in 1887 that Chicago became
an Incorporated place, 1t was IN 1851
that it WIS laid out and dehnltely
settled and named. Thus, it is only
sixty six, or, at most, seventy tnree
years old. Why, then, does it modest
ly pretend that it's stupendous achieve
ments are the result OF hundred
wears of activity? Why has it selected
this year and this time of the year for
it's centennial celebration? Because
in the early fall of 1908 the
white man first definitely took his
stand in the marshes which were to
weld up mighty Chicago like on ex-
halation. This first stand was a fort
Fort Dearborn-and it disappeared
and all the white men with it, in the
war 1872 For eighteen years there
after the marshes were untroubled
save by the fastening savage and the
pioneer Fastening after him. Then
came the canal connecting Lake Mlchl-
gan with the Mississippi river syste m
by way of the adjacent headwaters OF
the Illinois river-this in 1927, And
in 1880 Chicago was born because
there must inevitably be towr at so
important spot as the meeting OF
East and West, the junction OF the
Great Lakes system extending to the
East with the Mississippi River system
extending so the West and South.
When nature tossed up that little wa
tershed, she plantod her forbidding
marshes in vain-for, the ''place OF
skunks," as the word Chicago is said to
mean in the Indian tongue, was bound
to be great city.
To-day it is the fifth city in the
world. and in ten years it will be the
fourth. It is the epitome of the country.
More than forty languages are spoken
in it; it is the largest city of second
and third generation Americans except
Philadelphia; it is the second largest
Bohemian city in the world, the third
largest Norwegian city, the fourth
largest Polish city, the fifth largest
German city. 1t is more cosmopolitan
than New York yet it is in all proba-
bility the most intensely American OF
our large cities. Into it, to become
its guides and leaders. drain energetic,
eager, intelligent youth from the towns
and farms of all the mighty and mag
nificent Western country. And notori-
ously the West has a pride in the
Republic of to-day that is only equalled
by its pride and confide nee in the Re-
public that 1t is to be Tomorrow
