FISHING
A THRIVING INDUSTRY ALONG
THE CORNISH COAST.
Strenuous Times Are Had in the VII
lagos When the Schools of Fish
Come Into the Bay.

"Heva, Heva!' Wild excitement
follows as this simple cry rings
through some fishing village along
the Cornish coast; it is the anXiously
awaited signal that fish are in the
bay. Pilchards have come, and seine
nets are going to he shot. For weeks,
along the cliff tops. groups OF men
have been keeping watch; long, wealth
er-tarnished marine glasses have
swept the waters, and now dark red
color il seen streakiug the bay; gulls
are dipping and screaming; the signal
goes forth, and, as if by magic, the
sleepy, quiet village is reused, and
every soul in ii rushes to watch or
take part in, the exciting work OF the
next few hours. Out in the bay large.

heavy seine boats, guided by signals
from the cliffside, are being driven
| through the green waters, fast as lusty
arms and willing men can send them
| The long heavy seine net, which had
lain ready for casting. is now being
shot into the water and paid out as
the boats creep round the school of
pilchards Every face wears a tense,
anxious look, for upon the success or
failure to surround the fish depends
the gain or loss, it may be, of thou
sands of pounds.
Once the seine nets are ont and Sc
cured. then come the tuck boats, and
into the large seine is put the tuck
net; this allows the fish to be gath
cred more closely together, besides
forcing the shoal of pilchards up
wards to the waters surface; and now
begins in earnest the tucking or gath
ering in Of the fish. Along that side
Of each tuck boat nearest the seine
men seat themselves astride the gun
wales and two TO each tuck basket,
commence dipping into the net of fish.
As the baskets are drawn upward
again the water PUSHES back. leaving
a mass Of shimmering, iridoscent pill
chards to be tumDled into the boats.
Tucking is strenuous work, and dan
gerous. for should any unlucky one
slip from the boatside into the tuck
net. it would be to his certain doom,
for practically nothing short OF a mira

One feature OF the Cornish coast is
the sudden weather changes which
take place. a calm. unrufTled sea in a
few hours gives place to long rollers
straight from The deep Atlantic. and
at any moment a rough sea may be
beating where but a short while be-

The fear Of this happening is ever

THE GOLD STANDARD.

England. IN 1915. Was the First OF
the Nations to Adopt 1t.
The first nation to adopt the gold
standard was England. She adopted
the gold standard nomina.ly in 1916.
but practically not until three years
later, for In 1916 England was on the
paper basis. Germany. which adopted
the single silver standard In 1857, took
steps toward the establishment Of the
gold standard Ia 1871. but it was not
until July, 1873, that she demonetixed
silver, undertook to melt down her sil.
yer coin, sell 1t for gold and esta blish
the single gold standard. The Scandi-
navian nations adopted the single gold
standard at the same time. La Septen-
Der. 1s13, France restricted the free
coinags o. silver and three years later
entirely suspended such coinage, but
has never undertaken to discard the
silver coin she has in use or to treat Il
otherwise than az on an equality with
gold. The action Of France In restrict
ing and then suspending the coinage
Of silver ON private account was fol-
lowed by the other nations OF the Latin
union-Belgium. Switzerland, Italy and
Greece-and Spain suspended the coin
age Of silver in 1878. Holland. which
had established the single silver stand
