FISHING WITH HANDS.
Daring Hawaiian Swimmers Need
Neither Pole Nor Line.

/
Neither Pole Nor Line.
1t Is hard to believe that human be-
ings can become expert enough at
swimming and diving to be able to
catch fish in their watery home, yet
| 1t Is SO.
| The native Hawaiians are the ones
who do 1t, and it is common sight in
the districts that are not densely pop
ulated to see men, women and chill
dren engaged In thus catching fish,
shrimp and crabs.
Sometimes they crouch in shallow
water and feel around the coral and
lava bottom for the creatures. So
skilful have they become by practice
that even the swiftest fish rarely es-
cape. They can seize a crab and perk
| him out of his rocky lair before he can
use his claws.
The Hawaijans are assisted in this
mode of fishing by the fact that many
species of Pacific Ocean fish hide
themselves in clefts in the rocks and
lie there when danger threatens.
This habit is utilized by the men
and boys to catch those fish which
live in deep water. They tie a bag
around their waists and dive straight
down to the bottom. There they hold
fast to rock with one hand. to keep
themselves on bottom, and with the
other they feel and grope on the Gre
vices or under the overhanging rock
lodges till they get their hands around
fish. Then they pueShim into the
bag and grope for another one until
they have to ascend for air.
A daring kind of fishing is that for
the octopus. The Hawaiian dives to
the bottom and pokes stick into Gre
vices and holes In which the octopus
loves to hide. When the stick touch
es one of the ugly things it invariably
takes hold so tightly with it's tentacles
that it can be dragged forth. The mo-
ment the fisherman has thus hauled it
out, he lets himself ascend. He goes
up SO fast that he reaches the surface
before the angry and stubborn devil
fish has made up his mind to let go
its hold on the stick. When he reach
es the surface, the Hawaiian grabs
the octopus and instantly bites deep
into its head, thus killing the brute
at once.
Another rather daring form of fish
ing is that for the ula, a species Of
lobster. When the fisherman is ready
to go down for this creature, he wraps
his right hand in a long piece of cloth.
Then he dives and feels around with
his bandaged hand until he finds the
ula. Frequently he will work so fast
that he will bring up two or three
ulas from one dive.
Now and then the fisherman finds
publ in a hole instead of an ula. Then
the bandage does not save him from
being badly bitten, for the publ is a
great sea eel of immense strength
and with jaws set with immensely
sharp teekh.-Philadelphi Public

Just a Few Big Words /.

Some etymologists at their luncheon
of sandwiches and sarsaparilia were
laughing over the question of long
words. The first one said that the
longest word in his experience was to
be found in Eliot's Indian Bible He
pronounced the word, and it was as
though he were delivering an Grafton
in an unknown tongue. Then he wrote
1t down. 1t was:
Wut teppessittuk gussunoowehtunk-
quoh.
The man explained that this word
meant "the act Of kneeling before the
Lord in prayer
A second etymologist, smiling, said:
There was book printed in the sew
enteenth century that was full of long
words. A scientific work it was, and
its very title was unwieldly" He wrote
the title as follows.

that there was seventeenth century
