the north. The fishermen were en-
ployed by the day on the nets and given
so much for eacn fish captured. The
trappers were employed by the day or
worked the traps on shares. All the
fishermen used row boats peculiar for
their work. Save with rare excep-
tions the boats were manned by two,
both at the nets and the traps. One
was called the puller and the other the
fisherman. While the latter tended
his nets or traps the puller guided the
boat to suit the work.
The nets were known as gill nets.
These were stretched out their full
length in the water, " hich was many
feet and even yards. Floaters were
placed along the top of the net at
proper distances to hold it in position
while sinkers cal ried the bottom of
the net deep into the water. The mesh
es of the net were of such size as would
permit the entrance of the .averge fishes
head. When once it entered the mesh
es the gills were fastened and the fish
held prisoner until removed by the
fishermen.
The traps, one of which RIngwold and
Sankala tended, were constructed diff
erently. A large figure was formed in
the shallow water by the driving OF
piles. 1t represented a heart and on
either side extended long wings. The
wings enclosed semi-circle facing the
ocean and Immediately in the rear of
where they come together was the large
heart. A netting, called web, was
stretched along the piles from the sur
face of the water to the bottom of the
bay. BY this means a perfect heart
with wings was perfected.
The valve of the heart opened i'm
mediately at the conjunction of the
wings. This was at the sharp point Of
the 'tV" which is formed at the top
of the heart.
AS trap for fish it is a success.
The salmon come up from the ocean
and enter the mouth of the river fresh
and strong. They run in great schools
and follow the shallow cha lnels laying
their spawn as they 60 farther up the
stream.
When the noses CT the fish strike the
web forming the wings of the heart,
they follow the wings to the center.
Here they find their way through the
opening into the heart. When once
into the heart their capture is COM
plete. They circle about the place
passing the same apex of the heart
through which they entered without
ever discovering it as means of escape,
and are thus held as captives until the
fishermen take them into their boats.
They sometimes enter these traps by
the hundreds within "a hours. They
range in weight from five to 20 pounds
and larger.
1t was such trap as this that San
kala and Ringwold tended for old Sea-
dog at wages barely sufficient to sus-
tain them at best.

Drove 10000 Miles.

T. Seymour Smith, of Franklin, KY
Is probably the only man in the world
who can boast Of having driven the
same team Of horses 10000 miles. Mr.
Smith was in business for seven years
and was required to drive over the en-
tire United States. He figures that
every day he worked he drove the
team twenty miles, making a total in
seven years of 10000 miles. He start
ed at Boston and drove through New
England, the middle and Southern
States, and the West.

The machine is set upon a tripod
arrangement, at the top Of which is an
iron food receptacle, with suction
pump in the bottom. This pump Is
operated by a pedal. After passing
the end of the tube through which the
food is forced through the chickens
mouth until it reaches the crop the
pedal is worked until the crop is full
when the man in charge Of the ma
chine removes his foot from the
pedal, stopping the flow of food IN
stantly. Despite the seeming cruelty,
the chicken Is not injured by the
operation. The illustration shows how
the chicken Is held while being fed,
but the tube is beside the fowl, ex-
tending to about the point it would
reach when inserted in its mouth
One man can feed 300 chickens in
this manner twice a day If he is at all
spry. While the chickens are on this
diet they are kept In close confine-
ment, are given no exercise, and are
allowed only the liquid food.

CHAPTER VIII.
A Morning of Disaster

"Hello, Captainp'
"Hello, lookout"
"The sea is high and the fishermen
are venturing OUT
Gall right, 1 will send out the men. :"
Cape Disappointment lie saving
station nestled beneath the rocks of the
cliffs that extended far out over the sea
Many a mariner had met disappoint-
ment here. For from the sea the spot
looked like place of refuge from the
storm. But be who dared to trust it
had often been dashed to death against
it's walls.
Shaken and added, as it were, while
crossing the river bar, the mightiest
rovers of the deep had been broken up
here like glass upon the rocks.
1t was the treachery of its appearance
that gave name to the place. 1t was
the great loss of life that had caused
the government to establish life saw
ing station at the foot of the cliffs.
But the life savers had double duty
to perform. The purpose for which
they were originally placed there was
insignificant to the duty that later de-
veloped. They were provided by the
government to watch incoming vessels
and save the lives of ship wrecked sea-
men and travellers on the deep, but
later it was found that hundred calls
came fro.s, those whose lives were spent
on the river to where one came from
those who lived on the sea.
Like guardians OF children the life
savers stood upon watch and as the
fishermen came and 80 were they on
duty.
From the early hours of morning un-
til nearly noon, and from early after
noon until late in the evening the fish
ermen dotted the river in their tiny
boats and struggled with their nets
verging on the very danger line where
ocean and river met. Once acl oss this
line and the frail craft of the fisherman
was at the mercy of the undertow and
many toiler was dragged to his death
ere the government protectors of life
could reach the spot in boats prepared
for the purpose.
The lighthouse stood upon the high
est point of the cape overlooking the
sea. Beneath its shadow stood a small
structure barely large enough inside
for one man to stand, turn about and
sit down. 1t was built of glass save
that its framework and roof was made
OF iron. The glass was thick and al
most as strong as iron for it required
strength to Withstand the terrible
storms that beat upon it from the sea.
Its furnishings were small stoYs, a
stool, pair OF strong glasses and q

In families where household pets
are allowed to be the daily compan-
ions Of small children, parents should
take the greatest care to see that these
pets are always in perfect health and
kept clean. Many of the small animals
and birds most frequently chosen as
pets are very likely to fall victims to
various diseases, especially tubercu-
losis and dphtheria. 1t is natural for
birds and animals to live in the open
air, and confinement is probably the
cause of their great proneness to con.
city dogs get nearly enough exercise,
and therefore are generally troubled
with indigestion and foul breath. Cats,
even oftener than dogs. are victims of
tuberculosis. This disease is extremely
vague in it's earlier symptoms, and
often slow. 1t does not require much
thought to see how dangerous it must
be for young children to romp with
and caress cOnsump1ve pet. The
sight Of a tiny child seated on the
floor and playing with constantly
sneezing kitten Of doubtful physique
is shocking sight, but Is witnessed
only too often. Parasites constitute
great danger, especially from cats.
Many cases Of ringworm in children
Iuay be traced to the cat. Therefore,
where the pet habit is ingrained and
cannot be overcome-indeed, it is not
wise wholly to deny children their
pets-very careful watch should be
kept for the first slight symptoms Of
indisposition.

A Troublesome Ant.
New York Tribune. ]


The army quartermasters in the
Philippines report great devastation
wrought by the pestiferous white ant
of the islands. Hardly anything is ex-
empt from the ravages Of the insect,
against which there seems to be no
protection. This week there arrived at
the war department specimen of the
damage done by the ant at one of the
quartermaster depots, where q quaiit-
ty of canvas leggings was DESTROYED.
Al that remained of a dozen pairs of
that article of military apparel was 4
brittle mass, which looked as If it had
passed thru the fire. There was no re-
seinblance to the original articles. The
ant has a special liking for tents and
helmets, and the material attacked by
these troublesome insects is ruined be-
yond redemption. An examination Is
now being made In the Philippines to
ascertain the extent Of the damage re-
sulting from the invasion of the ant.
No one has any idea just how much
army clothing has been ruined in the
last few years. but 1t is surmised that
the loss Is considerable, as the quarter
masters department has had in Stor--
age at various depots in the islands a
large quantity of material which has
been without protection against the IN
sasss. IT has now been decided to pack
all army material which Is destined for
lolig storage in tin boxes which Will be
Theoretically sealed before they leave a
Jrited States port. This Is the only
way in which tentage. leggings and
other military equipment can be saved
from the destructive operations of the
white ant.

Christians in Japan,

According to the latest and most au-
thoritative reports the total number OF
Japanese Christians in 1902 was 12S,134
of whom 10000 were Protestants, &C.
$50 Greek Catholics, and 55.S24 Roman
Catholics. In addition to these are
thousands of children who are not in
cluded in the reports of the Protestant
churches. so that the total number will
easily be 100000 for the whole empire.
This indeed is only a small percentage
in population of 45,000.000: yet it re-
presents great achievement when it is
remembered that it is the
work of a single generation. 1t is bare
~ thirty years since the law punish
ing persons for becoming Christians
was abrogated. and the public warning
against Christianity as the wicked
sect were taken down from the bulle-
tin boards.
