THOUGHTS ON MATHEMATICS

Der" means any old thing-possibly
IA whole lot"
The sign of addition is usually
called plus. 1t is also expressed by
the doctors visits.
Mathematics is called an exact
science, probably because it exacts
so much brainwork
Mathematics is that science which
teaches us how not to let others do
us as we would do them.
Some people are natural born
mathematicians. They find it as
easy as falling off a logarithm,
Things equal to the same thing are
equel to one another, but there are
some things few of us feel equal to.

The radical sign indicates that

is the square root.

cannot be divided but a million dol

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, which 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 heart and ON
either side extended long wings. The
wings enclosed a 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 ''V" 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 channels laying
their spawn as they go 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 a 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 a trap as this that San
kala and Ringwold tended for old Sea-
dog at wages barely sufficient to sus-
tain them at best.

CHAPTER VIII.
A Morning of Disaster.

"Hello, Captaini"
"Hello, lookout"
''The sea is high and the fishermen
are venturing out"
"All right, / will send out the men, :"
Cape disappointment life 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 a place of refuge from the
storm. But he 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 treac hery 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 froan those whose lives were spent
on the river to where one came from
those who lived ON the sea.
From the early hours of morning I'M
til nearly noon, and from early after
noon until late in the evening the fish
eImen dotted the river in their tiny
boats and struggled with their nets
verging on the very danger line where
ocean and river met. Once ac1 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 it's 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 stove, a
