Green. Z. 8. A, who is ordered to return
to Atlanta, Ga, fell and slid 1,2OO feet
over a precipice on Mount Wilson, near
here, about a week ago, and sustained
injuries of such seriousness that for
time her life was despaired Of.
The story was suppressed until physi-
clans declared her out Of danger. Miss
Green went out alone from the Alpine
Tavern on the mountain. She chose the
Rim trail for a walk. When she
reached a dangerous spot, known as THE
Knob" she slipped and fell 100 feet to the
deep snow on a shelving rock, where she
lost consciousness.
Then she rolled and was found 200 feet
below on the mountain side and rescued
by friends at the tavern.

TRUE VALUE or FISH As A DIET.
Food From the Sea Destined to Play
an Important Role.

For ages past, says the New York
Herald. fsh has been used as food
by people living on the seacoast, near
rivers and on the boardefs OF lakes.
Little by little its consumption spread
TO districts further distant from the
source OF supply, and 1t may now be
said that. thanks TO the preserving
facilities and the rapidity OF trans
portation, the consumption Of fish has
become general. II Is beyona doubt
that In the future. when the technical
processes of fishing have been perfect
ed, when pisciculture and all that con-
Germs the use of fish as food have been
more thoroughly studied, fish will play
a much more important role in allmen-
tatiun.
