HUGE SWORD FISH is SEEN
OFF SAN CLEMENTE ISLAND
BY Associated Press.

AVALON, Santa Catalina, March 10.
-Lashing the surrounding water into
a veritable foam and struggling fran
tically to free itself from some sub
marine monster. a huge xiphias, or
sword fish, was seen today off San
Clemente island by local fishermen.
Whether it's victim was a large tuna
or the dead body of a seal could not be
ascertained.
Owing to the fact that several
launches have been struck and almost
sunk by these ferocious fishes after
they gain their liberty, the men who
witnessed the affair remained at a
safe distance.

THE DOLLAR.
lie Evolution From the One Time
Bleat or BELOW.

Bleat or BELOW.
The dollar took some rounding Nor
did It formerly ring true, but, much
alive, simply gave bleat or below.
Cattle. among country folk, at one
time constituted the dollar, while prim-
tive man generally made use Of any
article sufficiently abundant for the
standard payment Of all merchandise.
Thus, In ancient Greece, large
bronze tripod had the value Of a dozen
oxen. A good hardworking woman,
ON the other hand, was given In ex-
change for only four such beasts.
When metal took the place Of money
the dollar clung to its traditions, and
coins were still called after live stock.
Thus "pecunia." applied to metal
money, derived its origin from 'pecus"
(cattle). From the custom Of counting
heads Of cattle came the present desig-
nation Of a sum In cash-capital or
"capita" heads). In Sanskrit roupa
(herd, flock) made roupya or the In
dian rupee. while ingots Of electrum
or admixture Of gold and silver when
first in use as money bore the impress
Of an OK or COW.
Not clumsy. but too fragile, were the
shells In use as money by the negroes
Of Africa and throughout ancient Asia,
where the natives, taken by its beauty.
gave the shell a money value.-R Holt

doses were large enough, by collapse
and death. II is noted by the British
Medical Journal, from which this re-
port is taken, that other authorities
have formulated these stages in differ-

which speech and gestures became
more animated; In the second stage
IDEAS became crowded together and
confused, the mood being, without any
very obvious reason for the difference,
gay or sad or full Of tender emotion;
In the third stage the confusion of
IDEAS was greater and accompanied by
incoherence. perversion Of taste and
smell, illusions, thick speech, vacant
countenance and staggering gait; the
fourth stage was coma and the fifth
death. Magnan's second stage has
been graphically described by Claye
Shaw as a loss Of the sense Of aware
