with fish nets like the cozy corners
of flats, are planted along shore as
far as one may go northward along
the Hudson river.
In the whirling tides of He'll Gate
is another New York fishing ground
where men work for market. On lit
tie rocks and reefs, barely visible above
the wrinkled water, stand implanted
shanties with great reels and racks
full of tangled netting and lines.
Stuck away in the coves and along
the pretty Dutch shores of the Borough
of Queens are groups of houses whose
owners go out in boats as regularly
as their neighbors go out in trolley
cars.
Wild money marts are almost all
that are sought by these workers. In
the rivers and sound, swift and treach-
Gus tides and ceaseless navigation by
big vessels make trouble every minute
of the day for the men in small boats.
If they anchor along the channel to
tong and dredge for oysters and clans,
they are in peril as constant as are
the dory fishermen who lie in the
steamer track on the Crank Banks.
In the Lower Bay danger more
manifold surrounds them. Great as
the harbor is. there are so many
bars and shoals that in a gale there is
poor sea room for sailing vessels. And
those shoals of New York harbor are
notorious among the sailormen of all
the world for their wickedness. In one
direction lie the shaggy old Romer
sands, with waters spouting white over
them even when men ashore look on
the sea and admire it's calmness. In
other directions the east and west
banks lie in wait, each sending up a
reef like the up-turned end of SCOOP,
When a sudden February gale comes
roaring down on the boats the chances
are all against being able to reman
at anchor and ride it out. If the wind
is not favorable for a run toward the
shelter of Coney Island Point or the
Narrows. there is nothing for it but
to set as much sail as a man may dare
and work out to Sandy Hook and
thence to sea.
So, whenever a sudden winter storm
block traffic in New York and makes
it a weary struggle for a hundred
thousand New Workers to get home
at night other citizens are having a
still harder time of it. They would
hail as luxury the possibility of walk
ing home, and they would be well con-
tent to wait in a stalled elevated rail-
road train all night; for they are work.

TOOL THAT ALMOST TALKS.
Automatic Mechanism That Works
with hut Little Human Guidance,

The most highly developed of ma
chine, and, like many another contriv-
ance for saving labor, its home is New
England. 1t is a development of the
ordinary steel working lathe, the inter-
mediate step being the monitor lathe,
in which the various cutting tools pro-
like thirteen inch guns from a battle
ship turret. In the nonautomatic screw
machine the turret is revolved by the
operator so as to bring each tool into
play Just as the turret on the old
Monitor was revolved to bring one gun
after another into action. But in the
automatic machine the work is done
without human guidance.
In making screws, nuts, bolts. studs
and other small pieces that must be
turned, drilled or threaded for
watches, clocks, typewriters. electrical
instruments and other mechanisms, all
the operator has to do is to feed the
"stock'-a long, thin rod of steel or
brass-to the machine. The feeding
mechanism carries the rod slowly for
ward into the field of action. The tur-
ret advances and puts its first tool at
work on the end of the rod. When this
tool has done its task, the turret with
draws it, turns and advances a second
tool into action. Each cutting tool
around the turret has its distinct work
to perform-one cutting a thread, an
other shaping a head, another putting
on a point, another drilling a hole, still
another putting on knurling. The tur-
ret automatically brings each of per-
haps six tools into action, and when
the work is finished the completed
screw drops into pan, while the
stock is automatically fed forward
to begin the complex operation again.
A stream of machine Oil pours contin-
uously on the work to carry away the
heat. and the little metal cuttings col
lect In a heap under the machine.
Hour after hour this wonderful au-
tcmaton goes through it's cycle of OPP
erations, the turret clicking every mo-
ment as IL brings a new tool forward.

Nets Everywhere.
The market fishermens' nets are set
in the very middle of the busiest har-
Dor traffic. They stretch from the
rocks of Governors Island into chan
nels that bear the biggest tonnage in
the world. Their stakes and hedges
stand for miles in the western part of
the upper harbor, like fences marking
the boundaries of watery farms.

other fishermen. From that point

THE VALUE OfCHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful 1t is
i'm Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature but
few realize it's value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more
you take of it the better; 1t is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and
carries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm

teeth and further ACES as natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which

disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another. but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges;
they are composed Of the finest pow

frequently do the exercise with both
hands grasping the chair. This makes
the exercise more severe. and should
be employed only after It has been
thoroughly mastered.
As this exercise brings the entire
body into play, 1t strengthens the
muscles generally. gives mobility and
reduces fat wherever found, especial
ly In the abdominal region. It does

The legs are also Strengthened and

arms and chest, raise the hips OFF the
floor as far as possible and then. while

bend the legs in raising.
This exercise is severely felt in this
middle of the back, the hips, the legs
and feet, and fat is speedily reduced
in these regions. AS the movement
gently affects the front of the body,
fat is also burned away there.
Exercise V.-Stretch the legs COM

The first and most important requi-
site in burning up fat ds to avail one
self of plenty of fuel-oxygen. This
means deep and strong breathing at
all times, and especially when per-
forming the exercises. To this end
the exercises must be executed rapid
ly and without rest, and the ambition
constantly to breathe more deeply and
more strongly continually borne in
mind. The fat man must never hold
his breath, and the windows of the
room in which the exercises are being
taken must be kept wide open.

fat man (or woman) while exercising
should wear much clothing-two suits

A paragraph in a municipal report
the other day referring to the citizens
of New York who fish for market
within its boundaries probably was the
first intimation that the majority of
the population had that such an I'M
city-lke occupation was being follow

Yet there are so many professional
fishermen and baymen in New York
that their vote is an important con-

they are in absolute control.

are as hard and often as deadly as the
fights of their brother fishermen on
the Georges and Grand Banks.
