of those who eat them every day.
Nor do they usually occur to the
Spectator MS a basis of operation.
Yer the history of the variety known
MS ''rhe Northern Star" is one Of
the fairy tales Of finance. 1t was
brought out last year, says Lon
don paper, by a grower in Markinch,
in Fifeshire, who parted with n few
tons at the extraordinary price Of
e 1910 a ton. To this rate, which
works out at about ten shillings a
pound, he religiously adhered. At
this rate two pounds were purchased
by firm of dealers belonging to
Bardney, near Lincoln. From these
two pounds they have this year
grown 1870 pounds, and are so pleased
with the result that they have
bought n quantity more at the rate
of e 800 ton. Two other growers,
Mr.. Kline, of Mannnm-le-Fen and
Mr.. Blades, of Epworth, purchased a
ton at the same figure, and have
paid more for subsequent consign-
ments. After this the story of the

Japanese Use the x-Rays to Catch

A firm in Philadelphia has recently
sold TO the japanese government one
of their X-ray machines for a novel
purpose, reports the New York Post.
The representatives. of Japan who
placed the order said that in the
governmental mints a great many
gold dollars are coined and there has
been considerable loss through dis.
honest employees swallowing the small
coins and thus taking them out of
the mints. There has been no way
of preventing this until clever off

tricity from time to time, unexpect-

may be called up at any time to un.
dergo the test. 1t is believed that
the fear of detection will prevent the
stealing, at least in the form now
used. 1t is suggested that machine
might be used with profit in the
south African diamond fields to make
the black lnborers honest. The field
for X-rays in this direction seems 20
be large.

"Along the Caribbean sea-" said an
artist who has recently returned from
those parts, "it Is a common thing To
see men and women and children sit
ting on the hanks of streams with
their bare legs soaking in the water.
They have a strange reason for this
strange conduct. They are much
troubled by q little insect--a kind OF
tick-which buries itself in their flesh.
and is very hard to dislodge; and so.
when the ticks have got in them they
go to the water, bury the infected
parts beneath the surface and keen
quite still. The fish have fondness
for ticks, and they hasten to the
cleaning human flesh they see, and,
pulling the ticks out, devour them. In
that manner in the Caribs fish are
called upon to act as surgeons. Eff
Gent and painless surgeons they
make, too"
